Guinea Pig Bonding

 

If you have a lonely or bereaved piggy who would like a friend we may be able to help, subject to available single piggies we have in the rescue and  successful application. 

 

We offer residential bonding where your piggy comes to stay with us for 3 nights, coming in on a Saturday and going home on a Tuesday, this allows us time to find the right friend and see the piggies through the introductions and acceptance stage. 

 

 Bonding piggies is a careful and time consuming process, we work on personality and finding a friend that the piggy likes and wants to spend time with as opposed to just co-existing with. It is important that the piggies are compatible, so we let the piggy choose his/her new friend, after all it is them that will be living with the newbie!

  

We usually have a carefully selected piggy in mind to try bonding with, who we feel will be compatible with yours but piggies often surprise us with their choice so the residential bonding ensures a happy and solid friendship. 

 

Of course, there is a chance that it might not work and there may be no match on the first visit so you would need to be prepared for that just in case. On those occasions we can arrange a second visit at a later date.

 

If you would like to book your piggy in for boar/sow dating, please email to express your interest  and we shall get back to you as soon as possible with the next step.

 

Please note that due to the time taken over bonding there may be a wait before we can book your piggy in. If your piggy is on the waiting list we will email you as soon as there is availability. 

 

The charge for the bonding service is £15  plus the adoption fee if successful, adoption fees are £25 for a same sex piggy or £35 if the male is neutered (we do not routinely neuter piggies so these are rare). The £15 fee is payable upon check in and  the adoption fee if successful is due upon collection. 

 

We look forward to helping your piggy find a new friend.
