Wheek & Squeak

Dougal who I shall never forget

The Wheek & Squeak Guinea Pig Rescue and Boarding is based in Bishops Waltham, Southampton, Hampshire. 

I take in unwanted guinea pigs and care for them until a suitable home can be found.  If the guinea pig is very elderly or needs ongoing medication or care then they will stay at the Rescue permanently in the Retirement Section.  No guinea pig is ever put to sleep because a home could not be found, only pigs whose pain cannot be alleviated would be pts.

The Rescue needs donations to survive and these funds are raised by:

Adoption Fees

Boarding of Guinea Pigs and Rabbits (see Boarding page)

Sponsorship (see Sponsorship page)

Car Boot (items always need)

Donations

The sale of new guinea pig items (see Shop page)

The sale of car stickers at £2.50 each plus p & p 70p

Homechecks are carried out when rehoming the guinea pigs.  I also do a bonding service to pair up single boars.  Alot is said about boars not being able to be paired up when they are adults.  I have not found this the case and am happy to see if your boar will get on with any of the single boars here.  If one looks promising then I would ask that your boar is left here for a few days in an indoor cage with his prospective new friend so I can monitor their behaviour to make sure they continue to stay friends.

I am always in need of volunteers to help at the Rescue.  There are many jobs to be done eg cleaning out, feeding, water bottles, bathing, handling, painting, putting cards in vets, shops etc.  If you are interested in helping I would be very pleased to hear from you.
