23.01.2022 You all know that guinea pig are not "self cleaning right? They need a bath 2- 4 times yr. I just bathed two guinea pigs and wanted to show the dirty water to you. Guinea pigs do not clean themselves, they need our help. Check out our YouTube video on bathing here: https://youtu.be/wgmMgoTpGF8 Dogs needs baths right? Guinea pigs too - all day long they step on their poop and pee and lie in it. Their hair gets greasy and starts to stand up. It is NOT detrimental to their he...alth to give baths, it is detrimental not to give baths. Fungal feet is rife among guinea pigs and they are extremely susceptible to the ringworm fungus. So using an anti fungal shampoo like we do will prevent all these issues. Loose hair and skin flakes accumulate as well and those will be rinsed away after a nice bath and rinse. Baths don't need to start till they are 8 -10 months old. Links to the shampoo we use https://amzn.to/2IQKy6k For the UK Curaseb shampoo https://amzn.to/2WitXA6 This seems to a hotly debated topic in some groups. I always encourage everyone to make up their own minds. I will never say my way or the highway. I recommend reading up on the topic and other opinions on the subject and take it from there.

20.01.2022 I am editing a rather long and tough video and editing to me is like doing homework and I procrastinate as much as I can and welcome absolutely any distraction. So ... putting the last touches to the video (took me two months more or less and lots of distractions) And this was one of my distractions. Designed some cool patterns for masks! These are all for sale with 100% going to the piggies! https://www.laguineapigrescue.com/store/c22/Face_Masks.html
17.01.2022 Thisi s what happens when you put your pinkie in a Guinea pig mouth to check the bite strength. You get bit !!!! Not hard though and piggie passed the test.
16.01.2022 We did the drawing a little different and I put my meager editing skills to use ( I taught myself so ...) July rafle will be announed in a few weeks and you will actually be able to buy tickets for the particular item you would like to win as opposed to random item win that you may not even be too keen on. So improvements on the way! Stichting Cavia in The Netherlands are our co-rescue for this raffle!

11.01.2022 My little buddy is helping me doing my nails so they are pretty for the Saturday rush. I started putting nail Polish on after I started doing the videos and people were commenting on that lady's dirty nails. And they were right they were very dirty so now I'm just hiding itAnd it works because I only get good compliments now
11.01.2022 If you would like to see what Saturdays are like here have a look at yesterdays live stream. https://youtu.be/5MGZ_Tg7Zyk I got to remove a urethra stone from not 1 ... not 2 .... but 3 girl guinea pigs that visited and help an elderly skinny pig male with trimming some overgrown points of his molars to make him eat normal again!

03.01.2022 Pretty Big Announcement !!!! We have created our own GP group to get your piggie info from, ran by friends and volunteer mods and admin of Saskia that all have incredible piggie knowledge. I noticed a few scary pages out there and some mean and bulling ones at well. So we aim to provide an alternative. I think this is a better alternative than the page messaging I am going to turn off as too many questions were going unanswered . www.facebook.com/groups/137047001051961/ THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL INVITATION TO JOIN AND PLEASE SHARE It is called Wheekers! Guinea Pig Group by Saskia, volunteers and Friends of LAGPR
02.01.2022 How many times do you have people ask after your hamsters? My friends and family do it all the time.
01.01.2022 Ouchie! So may advice groups on FB! Which one to pick? They come in all sizes an flavors and some have become a police state that censors every post they do not agree with and this control the narrative and push an agenda that is not necessarily in the best interest of the guinea pigs. The only solution I could think of was to create our own group where the "rules" are currently actually non existing and no silly questions asked to be allowed to join. (will see if we can keep it that way- spammers may spoil that freedom) Here it is!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/137047001051961
01.01.2022 Yay the masks are back in stock - order now and shipping will be before the end of the week. There are matching leggings and cosmetic pouches as well! ALL proceeds to the guinea pigs. https://www.laguineapigrescue.com//Items_we_Ship_%21%21__F Worldwide shipping available at checkout @ only $13.50 only
