We thought with the Holiday period creeping up on us it might be worth starting a thread where people could offer their Help if they can look after other members Piggys when they go on Holiday.
Anyone who has space just add your details such as...
How many piggys you would have room for
Can you take only Boars,sows or Both.
Do you have spare cages or would the owners have to bring their own cages with the piggys
What area you live in.
Then any other info you think is important
For safety reasons please dont put any Contact details on the open forum.

I will Start.
I can take sows or single Boars but would worry about pairs of boars falling out smelling my sows
I usualy have 4ft hutches empty but i could accomodate a couple of indoor cages if need be
I am in North Cumbria 20 miles east of Penrith.
 
When I move I could do it.

I will be in Truro.

I think I should probably only have girls. The only spare hutches I have are quite small. Email me if you'e interested, but I wouldn't be ready until into September, and I am yet to find a vet there. :)
 
This is a great idea! :D

I would gladly help!

I have pretty much unlimited space...

Again like sokel, I would be a bit worried about taking peoples boars in case they started fighting, but if someone needed me, their boars could live in one of the spare rooms...I can take sows no problems...

I would need some of the food the piggies are eating if its different from mine.

I have 5 spare cages at the moment, but would prefer the owners to bring their own in case rescues come in and I need the space.

I am about 50 miles from Nottingham, or I'm certain my helper Claire would take them, shes about 30 miles from Nottingham.

I may also be able to help by picking them up for petrol costs. :D
 
I can take sows or boars

I would provide cages (the indoor type)

They will be in a heated/air conditioned shed

Excellent guinea pig competent vet and rodentologist nearby.

I'm in Reading Berkshire, near 2 train stations (one with trains coming through London the other with trains coming from the south west). Happy to meet you there and pick up pigs if need be.

PM me for more details.
 
i can take boars and sows from september the 10th

they would need there own hutch

would need there own food if its differnt to what mine eat

they would be in a shed/garage

i am in the west midlands area
 
I am in Epsom ,Surrey,have 3 railway stations fairly near.Trains come through from Guildford,Waterloo and Victoria.
My gp expert vets are only 4 minutes drive from me.
I can take boars and sows,who would be accomodated in indoor pens.
 
Hi i am Emma and i run The Guinea Pig Hotel, which is in Maidstone, Kent

It is a business and i charge £3.50 a day for guineas, this is based on 2 guineas sharing,

I can cater for 6 boars and 6 females

if i am fully booked the client can bring their own cage at the rate of £3 a day,

I provide all food and bedding to your guineas requirements Every day and it is all included in the price.

Runs available only weather permitting, guineas will NOT be put out on damp grass or rain and wind, if it becomes to hot guineas will be brought in.
 
I'm in Newcastle NE6 and could take one indoor cage. Sows preferred as got sows myself and it maybe frustrasting for boars.

Mine get P&H nuggets so would need own dried food if different.

PM me if you want to visit first I dont mind.
 
I take in boarders (all helps raise funds for the rescue). I charge £10 per guinea per week, all food/bedding etc is provided. Space is not a problem as long as we get a bit of notice in advance. June - August and christmas are usually very busy so its advisable to book in advance. I have hutches up to 8ft so groups of pigs and boars or sows are not a problem O0 I am in Sprowston in Norwich :)
 
What a brilliant idea,

I am in Whitby Yorkshire (a bit far away from most but just incase)

I could take a pair of inside piggies (any sex) cage provided, dry food provided by owner if different from mine.
Outside piggies, Inside a shed, could be arranged if hutch was provided. PM me if you need a holiday home.
(Free of charge)

This is a great idea.

I can take boars or sows, singles or pairs/trios. Accommodation is undercover, access to lush Kentish grass in runs weather permitting, prices from £3.50 daily which includes all bedding, hay, readigrass, dry (unless you use something unusual!) and fresh food.

Can take a limited number of bunnies, but must be fully vaccinated. I can also accommodate hamsters, but they must come in their own cages. School holidays get booked up well in advance.
 
May I suggest you start a new thread and have a uniform structure where people dont post randomly. For example:

Name: Joes Bloggs
Location: East Kent
Will take: Sows only
Requirements: Owners must bring own cage, food + bedding supplied.

Then the people who want to use this quite superb idea could scour down the list without having to read all the details... just a thougth from a male perspective :)

Sorry but I dont follow you there. As a poster on a forum inhabited by about 250,000 people you learn techniques to gather info and not to water it down... apologies for making a suggestion, ill keep quiet and let you lot get on with it....
 
just let people put their info on and it doesnt matter how they do it, it doesnt have to be a certain way :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
 
I think its a good idea stanny... you dont need to keep quiet :-X Its your forum too you know! Your allowed to make suggestions. I dont think we should start a whole new thread though. As long as all the info is there (and clear) thats the main thing O0


Does anybody know of any good piggy sitters in the Herefordshire area (or just over the borders? Eg Malvern). Looked everywhere for one - just in case - but to no avail. :( Herefordshire is rubbish for all things piggy (like rescue centres) :P
 
Not a problem here to look after piggies in central Scotland (nr Stirling) - they must be indoor piggies, maximum 2. Owners must be able to provide own food and bedding (no shavings).
 
I will visit your home and feed your piggies. or if you have a hutch u canbring it to mine. Have to be outisde piggies and will look after sows and boars. I do charge a very small fee.
 
I'm in Doncaster S Yorks I don't charge but do ask that owners bring thier own cage bedding and food :)
 
Anybody in Kent, that could look after 40+, should I ever be able to afford a holiday ;D ;D
 
I'm in Nottingham and would happily pigsit for people, or goto your homes and do it for costs O0
 
I'm in North Norfolk,
i can take Sows or Boars (my sows are outside)
indoors or out own cage handy
donations to local guinea pig rescue, where my chaps come from
message me for further details
can home visit if wanted (enhanced CRB from work availble)
 
Hopper Haven does guinea pig boarding. (We have 5 groups with us this wheek:)) We charge £1 per night per guinea pig. You need to bring your dry food unless you use Wagg Optimum. We are in Redditch, just south of Birmingham.
 
Pampered Piggies will always take in boarders.

I'm near okehampton in Devon
Big playpens avaliable and I'm sure a few toys and treats can come their way from the stock room!
Freshly picked veg and herbage avaliable during each season if wanted

Have 6'x3' play areas in a brick outhouse so plenty of exercise if raining, or can accomodate indoors- plenty of 12' runs in the garden .

You can also bring your own hutch/cage if you prefer.

Boarding is free although a small donation towards the rescues allways welcome O0
