WELCOME to our Lair!
Meet our beautiful adoptables!
All go to their new homes, washed, worm/mite treated and nails clipped.
Rocky & Caramel
Adoption fee: $60.00 for the pair of entire males.
Meet Rocky and Caramel, two charming older gentleman guinea pigs with hearts as warm as their names. These five-year-old gentlemen are ready to bring a touch of love and joy into a new home. With their gentle and affectionate nature, these sweet boys are sure to capture your heart from the moment you bring them into your life.
Despite their age, Rocky and Caramel have plenty of love left to give. With thoughtful care, they might even surprise you by living beyond the typical 5 to 8 year guinea pig lifespan. Their previous family loved them dearly but thought there might be a new family out there who could shower them with endless cuddles and attention.
These two bonded friends have so much companionship to offer and are looking for a tranquil home where they can spend their golden years surrounded by love and warmth. Older guinea pigs like Rocky and Caramel deserve just as much love and care as their younger counterparts, and they are ready to fill your heart with joy for many more precious years.
If you're ready to welcome these delightful older boys into your home, and to see out their lives with love and happiness, consider adopting Rocky and Caramel. They are eager to find a place where they can thrive in comfort and peace. Fill out an adoption application today, and you might just be the perfect match for this dynamic duo!

Teddy & Freya
Adoption fee: $70.00 one de-sexed male & one entire female.
Newlyweds Teddy and Freya are now on the search for some human love together!
Teddy (de-sexed thanks to Tricias donation) was surrendered into our care on the 30th January 2024 as a baby along with his father, brother and sisters. I separated the males from the females and slowly but surely I had seperate Teddy from his brother and father. Once males have been with females it can be very difficult to home them with males.
Freya arrived in our care on the 18th of November 2024 alongside two female friends, all were terrified, you can still see a little of that fear in her eyes. But Teddy has helped her on her way to gain trust as he didn’t trust many either coming from a free- range backyard.
Please note as with any of our longhairs they will be adopted to an INDOOR ONLY home. Far too many longhair surrenders, who were living outdoors have arrived here with matting pulling upon the skin.

Steve & Olay
Adoption fee: $60.00 two entire males.
Meet Steve and Olay!
So many have been struck by Olay’s (right) personable features and he has the temperament to match! The poor fella was left behind at a member of the public’s rental to fend for himself alongside his friend.
The neighbour of this rental took the boys in, knowing that she couldn’t keep them due to owning a dog. Sadly, her toddler let the dog in to where the new arrivals were temporarily living and killed Olay’s friend. Olay also had wounds but since his arrival which was the 12th of August 2024 he has healed well!
Steve (left) was surrendered into our care on the 6th of November 2024 alongside his buddy Bob. Bob was relentless in his humping of Steve so before separating them I trialled them in a larger enclosure - this was unfortunately to no avail which made Steve miserable.
Since then I trialled Steve with Olay, I’ve observed another side to their characteristics - it’s adorable! Not only do the right friends matter to humans they also matter in the animal world!
As you can see these gentlemen are of the longhair breed, so please only apply for them if you intend of keeping them INDOORS ONLY. We’ve had far too many longhair surrenders come into our care with severe matting, via living outdoors. They’re also happier within a larger enclosure - most males are - so a minimum space of 70x70cm each would be ideal.

Randy
Adoption fee: $30.00 for an entire male.
Randy was surrendered with his brother Boof, the surrender form read that Randy was a “rat bag” and Boof was the “boss” I should have known by this I’d eventually have to separate them. I’ve tried everything, a buddy bath, a large enclosure, two houses, two bowls but some boys - even brothers just don’t work out.
So Randy here is on the search for a new male friend. I am hoping that we won’t have to have them both desexed as we just had all of our single males desexed.
Anyhow, do you have a lonely boy looking for a friend? Maybe Randy could be the one!

Christopher & Cookie
Adoption fee: $60.00 for two entire males.
Cutie pie’s Christopher and Cookie, two adorable guinea pigs whose friendship blossomed right here at the Lair! These two make quite the pair, bringing double the charm and companionship to their new family.
Both arrived after losing their respective pals, and in a sweet twist, they found true camaraderie in each other. Together, they have become inseparable friends, offering each other comfort and companionship while eagerly awaiting their next adventure.
Christopher, about four years of age and Cookie about three years are perfect for a family looking to add a pair of delightful and sociable guinea pigs to their household. Their bond is unbreakable, and they thrive in the company of human friends who are ready to shower them with love and attention.
These charming boys enjoy exploring their environment, nibbling on fresh veggies, and snuggling up together. With ample space and plenty of fresh vegetables, Christopher and Cookie are sure to delight their new family with their antics and endearing chatter.
Anyone ready to open their home to Christopher and Cookie, and embrace the loving presence and gentle companionship they bring, will not be disappointed.

Willow & Winston
Adoption fee: $70.00 for one entire female and one de-sexed male.
I am often asked which ones I would recommend for children ie in regards cuddles, not care as care should never be left solely to children. Number one, I rarely suggest babies as they are fast and energetic. While we recommend adults hand piggies to already seated children “kids will be kids” and try to catch them themselves and small hands chasing around baby Guinea pigs only scares these prey animal more-so. Then often once grown these babies end up being surrendered into our care as children tire of not being able to cuddle them.
Then there are adult piggies!
And this is one of the many reasons an approved application must take place prior to adoption. I take a long time to get to know these piggies personalities, and these forms become an integral part of matching the right piggies to you and your family.
This being said: These two I WOULD NOT recommend for young children.
Willow (left) and Winston (right de-sexed) were surrendered from the same household. Their human did the right thing by purchasing same sex pairs from their local pet store however one of the females was pregnant which led to the birth of Willow and her sister Freya.
All three girls were originally surrendered together and Winston was surrendered with a male. However Winston didn’t along with his previous friend so he has been de-sexed and re-homed with other ladies.
In an effort to calm the trio of girls down - they weren’t a very harmonious bunch - I have separated them all and placed them with de-sexed males. Still though, Willow has a way to go in regards trusting humans (me too Willow, me too! )
So if you as an adult are on the search for some love and would like to help Winston with Willow gain trust in humankind these may be the pair for you!
If not, I understand.
Like any piggy they’re more than welcome to stay until she calms down within the Lair. I do believe Winston is working his wonders for her now though.
If you’d like to apply to adopt this pair or any of our others - you know what to do!
Tommy & Sprinkles
Adoption fee: $70.00 for one de-sexed male and one entire female.
Tommy & Sprinkles are around three years of age. Sadly, their previous family tried to do the right thing and purchase a pair of females however soon found out that Tommy was a male and Sprinkles was pregnant with three baby girls (also up for adoption)
Tommy is a longhair so please only apply for this pair if you intend on keeping them INDOORS ONLY.
Sprinkles is a little fast on her feet and takes a bit to warm up to new surroundings than her ever loving husband, but together they are a dynamic duo!
