Three new arrivals



This morning we had three gorgeous new arrivals - two little boys and a girl. This litter includes 2 'curly sheba' bubs and one standard sheba. We've popped the two litters together, and it is crazy to see the size difference 5 days has made with the litter we had born on Saturday. Both mums are tolerating each other and bubs are sharing milk - that is what I like to see :)






These are the 5 day old bubs born on saturday. They're already getting the fluffy-look as their coats begin growing :)

March baby



This handsome big boy was born at approximately 7am on saturday the 19th March. He has two siblings (equally gorgeous, and equally big brother and sister) - and everyone is doing really well. He is a peruvian-coated pig (with a few stray rosettes), but will be STUNNING when that lilac, gold and white coat grows in.

We shared a quick video of him on our facebook page as well. 







Oh! And I totally forgot to mention that we had new piggy bedding restocked on our website too - it has been a little while since I've had the time to sew anything guinea pig related (as we've been run off our feet with the bears), so I asked my mum if she'd be able to help us out as bit - and she's done a fantastic job.

There are a heap of new Roll Ups (my personal favourite), and new cuddle sacks due to be listed in the next week!

Our first 2016 bubs


We had our first arrivals for 2016 on the weekend. Such gorgeous colours. Both boys have homes lined up already :)

Peruvian baby boy


This handsome little man is the last Bub we have available at the moment, and we have no other single boars to pair him with like we usually would. He would be the perfect companion for an older single boar, if you have one who is a bit lonely, as he's still young and won't be considered a threat.
He is a long-coated breed, so will need extra coat-care, but if you're interested in him send me an email (eleb2000@hotmail.com). Please remember though that we do NOT 'ship' guinea pigs internationally, so you will need to live in the Brisbane/sunshine coast area.

Spring babies


We've had two beautiful litters born in the last fortnight. Lovely little spring bubs (although I know some people would like to correct me and say that it's not technically spring just yet... lol).

These bubbas will be alpaca and sheba/peruvian coated. All of them have homes lined up already as well, but we'll let you know if any of them become available.














And these darling ladies are some of the bubs we had born back at the end of Autumn/beginning of Winter. They're now 4 and 5 months old and have grown into some beautiful peruvian coats.

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.
