It is never an easy decision to hand over your guinea pigs.  The most common reason for guinea pigs coming into Rescues is that they were bought for children who have now lost interest.

We take guinea pigs in whether they are ill, old or just unwanted.  You will need to sign a surrender form which signs the guinea pigs ownership over to The Wheek & Squeak.

We do not judge people for surrendering their guinea pigs, we just want the guinea pig to be in a safe environment where they will be cared for until they find their forever home.  When bonded guinea pigs come in we would never separate them, they will be rehomed together.

Sadly some people take their guinea pig to the vets to be put to sleep because they cannot afford the veterinary treatment needed for their sick guinea pig.  We will take in these guinea pigs too, ensure that they get the correct treatment, nurse them back to health and let them enjoy their retirement here.

Running any Rescue is very costly so we kindly ask for you to consider giving a donation to help us continue our work.  It is not a condition for taking in your guinea pigs but it would be much appreciated.

It is very stressful for a guinea pig to move to a different environment.  They will be scared of the new smells, sounds and different routine.  We understand this and try to make this move as stress free as possible.

We provide a house and plenty of hay for them to hide in so they can come out and explore when they feel ready to do so.

Sometimes guinea pigs that come into Rescue are very frail or have health issues, these piggies will not be rehomed but will live in our heated and insulated Retirement Shed.  With the sows that come in, they will live in a large indoor run along with other elderly ladies for company.  Any boars are found a suitable friend for companionship.

If you would like to surrender your guinea pig/s to us please contact us either by phone or email, please do not contact us through Facebook.
