Pickle, Clover and Ginger - NOW RE-HOMED

Hi there please meet Pickle, Clover and Ginger.........
These lovely, friendly little girls are looking for a new forever home as their previous owners unfortunately can no longer keep them.
Pickle........
Pickle is black and white and approx just over a year old and is super confident and not shy at all.
She loves her food and treats and is always the first in the food bowl. Pickle is full of fun and personality, she even likes to climb on top of her hideaway house! 
Pickle loves to chat away to you when you walk near her hutch and loves cuddles and strokes. 
Ginger.......
Ginger is ginger and white and is approx just over a year old.
Ginger is very gentle little pig and a little shy but does like a snuggle with you. She is definitely the baby out of the three.
 Ginger likes following her friends around the garden and likes to graze on the grass.
Clover........
Clover is grey and white and also approx just over a year old.
Clover is a calm, independent piggie who loves cuddles and grazing on the grass. Clover also loves celery, cucumber.
She has slightly longer hair than the others so may need a trim every now and then. 
They have regular 'preventative' mite treatment once a month. They do not have Woodshavings in their hutch as this irritates their eyes. 
If you think you can give these lovely little girls a new home then please get in touch for a chat.

Hutch - SOLD

Hi there, we have many different hutches for sale here at our rescue....
We have had a lot of very kind hearted people donate their hutches/cages and runs to us so we can either keep them for our resident piggies or sell to help raise money for our rescue. Money from the sales of the cages/hutches and runs goes towards food, bedding and vet bills. They are second hand so are not in perfect condition.
This hutch we have for sale is a two tier hutch and measure approx 45 3/4" Tall x 45" long x x just over 22" Deep. It has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. 
It is suitable for two Guinea pigs.
It has been nibbled and chewed but is still secure for your little pets.
If you are interested in this hutch please get in touch.
