Good home wanted for care home guinea pigs

Having taken a brood of petting animals under their wing recently, Astbury Lodge in Great Sutton, will soon be welcoming a wave of newcomers thanks to their four pregnant guinea pigs. The CLS-run care home, which took on the animals for residents to look after and enjoy, is now home to five chickens, five guinea pigs and a rabbit, and all live in their newly renovated gardens.

Astbury’s animals have quickly become part of the family, with residents spending lots of time feeding and watching them in the special coop and hut that has been built for their cute companions. However, with more guinea pigs on the way, the care home is looking for new homes for their adopted animals, and is looking for members of the local community to help.

Janice Johnson, Home Manager at Astbury Lodge comments: “The residents could not be happier with our animals, and while we’re all excited for our new babies to arrive, there simply isn’t the room for them at the care home.

“We’re looking for anyone in the area, who thinks they can provide a good home to a baby guinea pig, to get in touch.”

If anybody is interested in taking on one of Astbury Lodge’s baby guinea pigs, please contact the care home on 0151 355 7043 for more information.
