Babble - The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary, Northamptonshire
Misty and Babble received a lovely present, however Misty has recently gone over the Rainbow Bridge, so Babble had to open the present alone. She has dental problems which require regular dental work.

What a big box! I have been spoilt :)

Percy & Ozzy - The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary, Northamptonshire
Percy and Ozzy are recent additions to the rescue. Percy has dental issues which require regular work, and Ozzy came in with severe impaction. It has been treated but will take some time before he is fully back to normal.

What do you mean, it's not a hiding place?

You look cute, and I'll sneak the choccies away...

We weren't up to anything, honest! Thank you Santa!

Tamworth - Cavy Corner Guinea Pig Sanctuary, South Yorkshire
Tamworth is a skinny girl (guinea without hair) who has rejected every piggie she's been introduced to, so she lives alone.


Ooh, I wonder what's in this one?

Cosmo & Archie - East Peckham Guinea Pig Rescue, Kent.
Cosmo and Archie came into rescue with their friend Dennis, from terrible, rat-infested conditions. As is often the case, the trio did not work out, but Cosmo and Archie remained friends.

So much to unwrap! We're going to need help...

Thank you Santa! Lots of lovely smelly treats for us, the perfect gifts!

Sparrow - The Littlest Rescue, Bristol
Sparrow came into rescue pregnant. Sadly she lost her babies, but she was unlikely to get through the labour without severe complications. Losing her babies was perhaps nature looking out for her.

Ooh, comfy things! Hooray!

Peekaboo! I can snuggle in this one too!
