LONG TERM FOSTER CARE  - enquiries to aprillodgeguinea@aol.com 

We sometimes have guinea pigs here that are not suitable for adoption.  These often go on long-term foster-care.  They are quite well but would benefit from more one-to-one care.  They are often part of a bonded pair.  We would in this event allow them both to go on long term foster-care.

Any guinea pigs that are on complicated medication or treatment stay with us.

Because we have an ever-growing list of guinea pigs waiting to come here, we are hoping we can free up some spaces by offering  these guinea pigs long-term foster care.  Anyone willing to participate in this scheme would receive full back-up from us and can return the guinea pigs at any time, if the need arises.

The guinea pigs available for long-term foster care are the following:

 

Two delightful older ladies in need of Long-Term Fostercare

 
Petal and Patch
 
Petal was given up as a four year old and was brought to April Lodge.  Patch, who is also four years old came here for an introduction but was transferred into the charities name when we informed the owner she appeared to have a respiratory abnormality. The owner decided he couldn't cope with the medication.  Petal and Patch both have congestive heart failure.  However, they are quite well and are on medication twice daily.  They would benefit enormously from long term foster care.  The charity would give the foster carer full back up including medication. Can you help?    
 

                                                                                                                                               

 

Bengi & Fluffy

Fluffy is divine but she is an in-bred pure bred so needs to be kept indoors with lots of activity and special care.  Her companion Bengi has a slightly impacted bottom which needs attention       

   

Timber & Frilly

Timber is around 3/4 years of age.  He is Peruvian and his dense coat needs lots of care.  At the moment he is in the early stages of Pododermatitis which we are treating.  Frilly is also about 4yrs old.  She has a huge lump underneath that does not appear to be causing any trouble.  It is probably a fatty lipoma
