Rehoming is by far the most worrying aspect of what we do and for this reason we do not advertise individual guinea pigs on our website. We hope to invite you and your family to our premises where a suitable match can be found. You will need to convince us that you are suitable new owner for one of our guinea pigs and we require all prospective adopters to complete an adoption application form and declaration form.

An adoption fee of £13.00 per guinea pig is required. Please note that the adoption fee for a castrated male guinea pig is £17.00, the extra being a contribution towards the cost of castration..

We also operate a home-checking scheme and reserve the right to inspect the prospective new home before and/or after the rehoming has taken place. We often have a number of used hutches and accessories for sale. You would be expected to provide a suitable run for your guinea pig.

The welfare of the guinea pigs is our priority and all guinea pigs are welcome to come back for a free healthcheck whenever necessary. Adopters are welcome to contact us at any time if they have any concerns about their guinea pig.

April Lodge is not a pet shop, and viewing is by appointment only.
