Meet Our Available Piggies
Burrito & Bowser
Adoption fee: $80.00 for pair of entire males
These boys were born in June 2026 and were originally purchased from a breeder. Sadly, their previous family needed to surrender them because of health issues affecting their young daughter.
Burrito is a long-haired guinea pig, so the boys need an indoor-only home. Long hair can be difficult to keep clean, especially when exposed to outdoor debris and dew. They get along well, but enjoy having space from each other. They’ll need an enclosure with at least 1,400 × 700 mm of floor space and two houses so each boy has somewhere to retreat. They’re already used to children. If you have room in your home and heart for these lovely boys, please apply.
Adoption fee: $80.00 for pair of entire male
These two gorgeous rough-coated boys are part of our intake of 61 and are now ready to find a home of their own! Bongo & Sparky were lovingly named and sponsored by Conrad.
The boys can be a little tricky to catch at first - but don’t let that fool you! Once you’ve got them in your arms, they absolutely love their cuddles and affection. They’re still learning what it means to be loved and handled like normal little guinea pigs should be, and it’s beautiful watching them slowly realise that humans can actually be pretty great!
They just need a patient family who will give them the time, love and reassurance they deserve. We think once they settle into their own home and get lots of one-on-one attention, they’ll really blossom.
Bongo & Sparky
Benji & Gobstopper
Adoption fee: $80.00 for the pair of entire males
Both of these handsome boys came to us through our intake of 61, although Benji was actually born here at the Lair. Benji (left) was born on 13th June to Bluebell, who was kindly sponsored by Lucy. Lucy also had the privilege of naming Bluebell’s little boy, Benji.
Gobstopper (right) was one of the original guinea pigs from the intake of 61, so unfortunately we don’t know his exact birth date. When he arrived, he had a wound on his back, likely from another guinea pig or from becoming caught on the wire in the enclosure they had been living in. Thankfully, he’s now completely healed and has come such a long way.
He’s grown into a wonderfully calm, chilled-out little boy. These two have become great friends, and we’d love to see them continue their journey together in a loving forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet, easy-going pair of boys, Benji and Gobstopper are ready to meet you!
Pretzel & Motley
Adoption fee: $80.00 for the pair of entire males
Meet Pretzel and Motley. Pretzel (left) was born here at the Lair on 11th June to Peaches, while Motley (right) was also born on 11th June to Minka. Both mums arrived as part of our intake of 61.
A huge thank you to Rebecca, who kindly sponsored and named Peaches and her babies, and to Kylie, who did the same for Minka and her little family. Your support means the world to us.
These two boys have become great mates and are now looking for a forever home together. At this stage, I wouldn’t recommend Pretzel and Motley for a young family, as they’re still building their confidence and we’d like to spend a little more time helping them become comfortable with handling.
However, if you’re an older family or have previous guinea pig experience, they’re ready to find a loving home of their own. With a little patience, these sweet boys will make wonderful companions.
Adoption fee: $80.00 for the pair of entire males
Jet (right) was born here at the Lair on the 2nd of June after his mum, Tallulah, arrived as part of our intake of 61.
Tallulah was kindly sponsored and named by Judy. Once Jet reached three weeks of age, he was separated from his mum and sister to prevent any accidental pregnancies. He has since been happily living alongside Clover. Clover (left) was born just a few days later, on the 5th of June, to Daisy, who also came to us as part of our intake of 61.
These two handsome boys have become great friends, and we’d love to see them continue their journey together in a forever home. As with all male guinea pigs, they’ll do best with plenty of uninterrupted floor space and a family who understands boar dynamics. If you’re looking to welcome a gorgeous bonded pair into your home, Clover and Jet are ready to meet you!
Jet & Clover
Cedar, Oak & Ash
Adoption fee: $120.00 for the trio of entire males
Maple and her three little boys were all lovingly named and sponsored by Casey - and honestly, I think she did such a beautiful job choosing their names. Cedar, Oak and Ash are just perfect together.
These boys have grown up side by side and are currently getting along really well. However, as we’ve mentioned before, a trio of males can sometimes become a little more complicated as they mature and reach those so-called “teenage” months. Hormones kick in, personalities develop and the dynamics between them can change.
Space is particularly important with a trio of boys. Cedar, Oak and Ash are currently living in a 140cm x 70cm enclosure on one level, and we wouldn’t recommend anything smaller. They might still look like little fellas now, but they have plenty of growing left to do!
Their future family needs to understand that although everything is going beautifully between them at the moment, there is always the possibility that things could change as they mature. If that does happen, we’re always here to offer advice and help work through the best options for them.
Like many of our youngsters from this intake, they can still be quick on their feet, but with patience, regular handling and plenty of love, their confidence will continue to grow.
If you have the space and would love to give these three brothers a home together, please fill in an adoption application and come and meet Cedar, Oak and Ash.
Mister Pickles & Snoopy
Adoption fee: $80.00 for the pair of entire males
Mister Pickles was lovingly named and sponsored by Lisa, while Snoopy was lovingly named and sponsored by Donna.
These gorgeous boys are another pair from our intake of 61, and they’re now ready to find their forever home.
Like many from this intake, Mr Pickles and Snoopy can be a little difficult to catch - apparently being picked up is highly suspicious business! But once you’ve got them, it’s a completely different story. They settle in beautifully for cuddle time and are so worth that little game of chase. They’re still learning what it’s like to receive regular one-on-one love and attention, and with a patient family of their own, we think these two will continue to come out of their shells and absolutely flourish.
Adoption fee: $80.00 for the pair of entire males
These two handsome long-haired boys came to us as part of our intake of 61 and are now ready to find a home of their own.
Giovanni was lovingly named and sponsored by Nicole, while Winston was lovingly named and sponsored by Donna.
You may notice that Giovanni has a little split above his right eye. This is an old injury, most likely the result of a fight within the large herd before they came into our care. It’s part of his history and certainly doesn’t make him any less handsome.
The boys get along really well, but we’ve found they’re much happier when they have plenty of room to spread out. For these two, we require a minimum enclosure size of 140cm x 74cm on one level, along with two separate houses so they can each have their own space when they want it. Like many from this intake, they can still be a little fast on their feet when it comes to catching them - but once the chase is over and cuddle time begins, they’re quite happy to settle in for some love.
Because of their beautiful long coats, Winston and Giovanni are indoor homes only. We won’t be considering outdoor housing for this pair, as moisture from dew and debris from grass can very quickly become caught in their coats and cause matting. Their future family will also need to be prepared to keep on top of regular coat care and grooming.
If you can provide these gorgeous boys with the indoor home, space and care they need, please fill in an adoption application and come and meet them.
Giovanni & Winston
Adoption fee: $80 for the pair of entire males
Randy and Eddie were born to Elizabeth on 9th of June 2026 after she came into care as part of our intake of 61 guinea pigs.
Randy has developed a very long coat, while Eddie’s coat is a little shorter. Randy will require regular grooming and coat maintenance, so we are looking for an indoor-only home for the pair. Eddie is the runt of the litter, but both boys are doing well and are still quite quick on their feet, so we wouldn’t recommend them for a family with young children.
These beautiful boys were sponsored by the lovely Karen, who has also generously helped us behind the scenes with paperwork for the shelter. Randy and Eddie are looking for a home together. If you think they may be the right fit for your family, please complete an adoption application.

Bingo and Ziggy
Adoption fee: $80.00 for the pair of entire males
Bingo and Ziggy were born on the 1st of July 2026 to Cilla, who came into care as part of our intake of 61 guinea pigs. Cilla was sponsored and named by the generous Conrad.
Both boys have developed very long coats, so we are looking for an indoor-only home for them. Long-haired guinea pigs require regular grooming and coat maintenance and can become easily matted when housed outdoors. Bingo and Ziggy are still quite fast on their feet, so we wouldn’t recommend them for a family with young children.
They are lovely boys who deserve a loving home and family of their own and are looking to be adopted together. If you think Bingo and Ziggy may be the right fit for your home, please complete an adoption application.
Adoption fee: $80 for the pair of entire females
Poppy and Blossom are sweet young girls who were born to Daisy on the 4th of June 2026. Daisy came into care as part of our intake of 61 guinea pigs in May.
Both girls already have very long coats for their age and will require regular grooming and coat maintenance. For this reason, Poppy and Blossom are available to an indoor-only home. Long-haired guinea pigs can become very easily matted outdoors, and their coats are much more difficult to keep clean and comfortable.
They are lovely, sweet girls and are looking for a home together. If you think Poppy and Blossom may be the right fit for your family, please complete an adoption application.
Poppy and Blossom
Blossom & Brownie
Adoption fee: $80.00 for the pair of entire females
Blossom (rear) came into care as part of our intake of 61 guinea pigs in May 2026. She later gave birth to two babies on the 13th of July 2026 - one boy and one girl. Her daughter, Brownie, has been able to remain with her, and the pair are now looking for their forever home together.
Blossom and Brownie are both still quite quick on their feet, so we wouldn’t recommend them for a home with young children. Brownie is also developing quite a long coat, so we are looking for an indoor-only home for this pair. Long-haired guinea pigs can become easily matted when housed outdoors and require regular coat care.
If you think Blossom and Brownie may be the right fit for your home, please complete an adoption application.
Adoption fee: $40 for one entire male
Pepper is approximately two years old and came into care from the same home as Jimmy. He was previously used as a breeding boar for quite some time and is now ready for a fresh start and a male friend of his own.
Pepper is an entire male and is looking for a compatible male guinea pig companion. If you have a lonely boy looking for a friend, we can organise a trial with Pepper to see how they get along before making any final decision.
An adoption application must be completed and approved prior to arranging a trial.

Jimmy
Adoption fee: $40 for one entire male
Jimmy is approximately two years old and is looking for a new male guinea pig friend. He is an entire male with a lovely, calm nature and is generally a very good boy.
If you have a lonely male guinea pig looking for companionship, we can organise a trial with Jimmy to see how the boys get along before making any final decision.
An adoption application must be completed and approved prior to arranging a trial. If they are a good match, Jimmy may be the perfect new friend for your boy.
Adoption fee: $40 for one entire male
Marshmallow is a sweet little boy, approximately 7–9 months old, who is looking for a new male guinea pig friend. Sadly, Marshmallow lost his previous companion after he was taken by a dog, so he is now a single fella hoping to find another boy to share his life with.
If you have a lonely male guinea pig looking for companionship, we can organise a trial with Marshmallow to see how they get along before making any final decision.
An adoption application must be completed and approved prior to arranging a trial.
