The girls

Some photos of the sheba/peruvian and aby girls all in a row :)

Pigs available for adoption

One of the interesting quirks I've noticed through my decades of cavy care is that baby guinea pigs really do rely quite heavily on the adults in their social group for their sense of wellbeing and safety. Not just their mums, but aunties, older sisters and even the geriatric members of the group (if they'll tollerate their annoying and energetic baby behaviours!).


For that reason we have paired up some of our beautiful baby girls with some of our young adult ladies, and are offering them for adoption to the right homes. PLEASE NOTE that all of these gorgeous guinea pigs are long-coated (excepting 'Lucy' who is abysinian x) and will require some coat maintenance. All of these girls currently live harmoniously in our female community hutch, so could certainly be adopted as a group as well.

Quinn and Bee - Quinn is approx 8 months old and peruvian coated. She is gold agouti and white with dark eyes. Bee is 4 weeks old and gold agouti and gold. She is sheba coated.

Pecan and Toffee - Pecan is approx 9 months old and a stunning chocolate agouti sheba-coated girl. She is the most highly strung of the girls, and will require a family who are confident with slightly more nervous guinea pigs. Toffee is a very relaxed gold agouti and gold sheba coated 4 week old. We're hoping her relaxed nature rubs off on Pecan.

Buttons and Hannah - Buttons is approx 14 months old and a lemon agouti sheba⁄peruvian coated girl (not quite enough rosettes to be a sheba, too many to be a peruvian!). Hannah is a 4 week old gold agouti sheba bubba.

Lucy and Honey - Lucy is approx 10 months old and very pretty with her predominantly white coat with agouti eye patches. Honey is 4 weeks old and gold agouti sheba coated.

PLEASE NOTE that none of these girls come with pedigree paperwork, they are just happy, healthy (and chubby!) little pets. Ideally we're looking for adoptive homes that have done their research into caring for longcoated guinea pigs, and intend to bring these girls into their homes and lives. Price is $35 per pig, viewing and pickup is at Wamuran (Qld, 4512). You can call/txt me on 0418774801, or email to eleb2000@hotmail.com. 


We also have four baby boy guinea pigs available for adoption. Ideally we'd like to see them adopted in pairs (they currently all live together very happily so could certainly be adopted as a happy little group as well).

The alpaca boy is lilac, white and gold and is 8weeks old this weekend. He has a stunning coat that will continue to grow throughout his life and will need trimming and maintanence. Google alpaca guinea pigs to see what he will look like in full coat - this really is a spectacular breed. He is a very docile, placid little man.

'Bilbo' is a black and gold sheba-coated 4 week old boy. His coat will also continue to grow throughout his life and will stick out in all directions. Sheba guinea pigs in full coat are also a sight to behold. Bilbo has a little more spunk to his personality!

'Frodo' is a tri-agouti sheba coated boar who is a few days younger then Bilbo. His colouring is so pretty, and in full crazy-long coat he will look gorgeous.

and 'Peregrin' is also tri-agouti (golden) and also sheba-coated. Please note though that these boys do not come with pedigree paperwork. They are very healthy, very handsome pets and we would like to see them go to homes that will bring them inside and who have researched caring for longer coated cavies.

Long coated babies growing up

This little man here is our 5 week old lilac-tri colour alpaca. He has a lovely coat, not as dense as I would like to see, but still very pretty nonetheless. He is a very gentle natured little guy as well, and we plan to pair him up with a younger boy in the next few weeks.

These are some of our young sows we are keeping. Above is a lilac, gold and white peruvian sow. Below is a tri-agouti peruvian sow. And just below her is a black, gold and white peruvian sow (this one has the most spectacular coat!)

The little lady above is a lilac, gold and white sheba-coated sow. And the two little ladies below are alpaca sows. Their coats are coming along very nicely as well, even the white/gold/roan sow (and she is staying surprisingly clean! You can see a little discoloration around the base of her coat, but nothing too bad yet.)

One Huge Bubba

Last week Betty delivered one LARGE baby boy weighing in at 130g. He is stunning in a deep black with hints of gold through his fur and a big white nose. A week later (see photo below) and he's already tipped the 200g mark and takes up my whole hand!

Bubs going to their new homes.

 Little Harry is now nearly 2 months old and went to his new home with his brother today. He is such a pretty pig! They are going to be absolutely treasured in a well set up inside cage.

This little guy below also has a new home lined up for a few weeks time, buddying up to an older boy. He is 11 days old in this photo.

And this curly little cotton-ball went to her new home today as well. We paired her up with curly-sue, so her new mum now has a duo of curly white goodness to enjoy! Keeping curly-coated white pigs clean is the biggest challenge! Thankfully this little bub has a gold-roan patch on her bum so any staining wont be quite so obvious!

A few photos from around the caviary

This is little Harry at nearly 6wks old. He's a fluffy little dude!

This was Harry's sister just before she left for her new home last weekend. She was even fluffier!!

This is 'Ohana The Lucky One' and his little buddy.

And these are some photos from the barn-hutch. The babies are all old enough to make their way up and down the ramp now, so all the mums and bubs live in one big community. It's so good to see them all interacting and 'sharing'! lol

Mary had... three little pigs!

Just as the sun was setting yesterday afternoon, our beautiful dark-eyed-white peruvian sow 'Mary' gave birth to three large, fluffy, gorgeous little alpaca bubs! I was in love the second I held those wiggly little bodies up to my face. I couldn't wait to take day-light photos of them this morning.

We have Arthur - the little boy, Arwen and Audrey - the little girls. How amazing are they going to look with those curls grown out!
