I potentially have an upcoming situation that may involve needing my lovely boys fostered. It might be for up 3 months. Obviously we would pay for all their food and a bit extra. I'm putting feelers out on here as I feel like they would definitely be loved as well as looked after. This may not be needed but if so I don't want my boys in and out of boarders, especially with Sir George's sterile cystitis being set off with stress.
I might be having to sort and sell a house in Luton, Bedfordshire with a view to buying in Shropshire so close to one of these areas would be preferable but of course we prioritise their care over location. IMG-20240606-WA0007.webp
 
It's just as well there are so many eager pignappers on the forum. Plus who wouldn't want to care for such a pair? One super-dignified, the other often rather not especially the way he cools his undercarriage, but gorgeous face and fur.

Just joking. Wish you all the best with this! I know how stressful it can be not to have somewhere permanent for piggies and keep having to change boarders...
 
Piggie napping the Beastie boys with, a terrible plan……


As much as I would love to offer some help, I need a few answers from the doctors over the next few weeks.
If everything is good, perhaps we could help.
I know that’s a random half offer, sorry.



Alternatively- I can recommend Kate who runs Guinea pig rescue & rehome, in Luton, our boys have boarded there a couple of times, or we have been using The little Pet Company more recently in Northampton.

Hope alls ok.
 
P.S shorter (1week/a weekend) stays always welcome.
We have enough spare grids and fleeces.
Thank you, we would supply anything needed though.
@JaseChase , no distance is too far !
I should get some more information later today. I'm probably jumping the gun but obviously IF my suspicions are correct I need to be prepared.

Well, we have the space and the time, though I'd need to check with my OH to make sure they're on board. But if you do end up needing someone and can make the distance work (and there isn't someone more suitable), we'd be thrilled to mind the Beastie Boys for you if necessary (and certainly give them back.... definitely.... no piggynapping in sight!) :P
 
@JaseChase , my geography is non existent but hubby just told me that Nottingham is fine. I'm just waiting to hear from my dad re test results 🤞
You say no piggnapping but once you've dealt with Sir George you might change your mind ❤️

I did have to look up Luton and Shropshire on a map 😅 I’m glad! My OH has a couple of concerns (mostly that our PA/house helper is away at the moment) but I reckon I could twist their arm, especially once they see a photo of Sir George and Master Boris 😍

Let me know, I can ask the forum to pass along my email address as there’s no PM system now. Hope everything is alright ❤️
