Our Family Is Up To 16!!

Rescued from a HORRIBLE family pet store.

Adopted from a local rescue in London, Ontario.

Bella and Hershey were surrendered to us.

We adopted snow from a member on this website (MissSofi)

Zoe and Chloe were adopted.

We also adopted Sophie from MissSofi, and we decided to name her after "MissSofi/Sofi"

Luke and Hurley were surrendered to us.

Suzie and Molly were surrendered to us.

Wow you have so many gorgeous guinea-pigs. I really like Zoe's fur. I have never seen a guinea-pig like that where I live.

I would love to see photos of how you have them housed. I have 14 right now and am trying to figure out the best way to house them to make everything as easy as possible but still be best for the piggies. Great photos!

WOW. What a crew of cuties! I love them all, but I especially like Chloe. I, too, would love to see all the cages!

Wow, they are all really beautiful and interesting looking! I especially like Chloe, Zoe and Hurley, so adorable..

As for caging arrangements, We have it as follows.

Pheonix: By himself in a 3x4, (Pheonix and Montgomery were housed together, but fought so we seperated)
Montgomery: 3x4 by himself

Sammy
Gigi
Bella
Hershey
Zoe
Chloe

Are all together in a 3x10 C&C Cage

Luke and hurley are together in a 3x4 C&C
Molly and Suzie are together in a 3x4 C&C

We actually just bought a new house, it has a 4 car garage on site, that is empty for now. So we put all the cages in their, it is completely 100% climate controlled (AC and heat)

In total there is 6 cages, but we have the 3x4's stacked in 2's. So really there is only 4 cages (space wise)

Most of the guinea pigs we have had surrendered to us, were meant to be adopted out to good homes, but we fell in-love with them, and could not separate with them.

We have 20 Full length fleece runs, over 3 meters long each. They get fed fresh veggies 3 times daily, We spend over 100$ a week on vegetables alone, and have a fridge dedicated to the veggies. CAVY MADNESS!! LOL

Wow! What a lot of gorgeous guineas! I love the baby ones (Zoey and Chloe) - so cute! I can't imagine how long it takes you to clean and care for all of them - kudos to you!

I'm going to be honest, To clean all 7 cages, it takes me an hour to change the fleece

I clean the cages every other day, with spot cleaning 3 times a day (Broom and dustpan)

It's alot of work, but in the end it is definitely worth it.

We feed all of our guinea's Martin Mills, Timothy based pellets, The ones that have been on the market for a while are actually alfalfa based, We buy our pellets in 40 Pound bags, 3-4 at a time. So roughly 200 Pounds of pellets lying around is alot of food!!

Wow, that is A LOT of piggies! I really love your Abyssinians, they are my favorite breed!

I would love to have that many pigs! You are so dedicated.

Wow - They are so cute! You must be busy! I hope that I don't develop the fever to keep the all the guinea pigs that I decide to foster. Right now I have 6!! Started with 3 boys. Have intentions of adopting 3 out to a family, but I can see how I wold fall in love!
