Winston & Willow
Adoption fee: $70.00 for one de-sexed male & one entire female
Meet Willow and Winston - the perfect balance of adventure and affection! Willow is full of beans - she loves exploring, climbing, running through tunnels, and snuggling up to Winston when she’s finally ready to rest. She’s very fast and fearless, so secure housing is essential! The best way to pick her up is from behind or by gently guiding her into a tunnel. Care note: Willow’s fur needs regular trimming around her eyes, as it can irritate them if left long. Winston is the calm cuddle-bug of the pair. He loves snuggles, chin and ear scratches, and anything involving food - especially tomatoes, lettuce, and parsley. Together they’re the sweetest duo: Willow brings the energy, Winston brings the calm. They adore each other and must be adopted as a bonded pair.
Please only apply for this pair if you are an adult household or have responsible older children as Willow does require patience due to her pizzaz! And INDOOR HOME ONLY due their beautiful fur, matting occurs far too easily outdoors.
KitKat & Goku
Adoption fee: $60.00 pair of entire males
Meet KitKat and Goku - two handsome brothers who were surrendered into our care back in July. At the time, we were told they were around two and a half years old. It’s taken a little while to list them for adoption, as Goku was initially quite dominant over KitKat, which caused KitKat some stress and led to a bout of mites. Thankfully, he’s now been fully treated and Goku has since settled beautifully within the shelter. These boys are now ready for their forever home - but they’ll need plenty of space to thrive. They’re currently residing in a 1400 x 700mm setup, though we strongly recommend a 2x4 C&C with a loft, or ideally a 2x5 C&C to give them enough room to explore and keep the peace. They’re charming, cheeky, and full of character - everything you could want in a bonded pair of piggy brothers!
Storm, Rusty & Thunder
Adoption fee: $90.00 trio of entire males
Three Little Pigs!
Left to right: Storm, Rusty & Thunder These handsome lads were originally purchased from a guinea pig show and surrendered into our care at five months of age in early September. We’ve taken our time listing them, as it’s quite rare to have a peaceful trio of males! But after plenty of observation, we’re thrilled to report that these three get along beautifully - no bickering in sight. That said, as with any pair or trio of boars, the more space, the better! A large, open enclosure is essential for keeping everyone happy and harmonious. They currently reside in a 1400 x 700 but I would definitely recommend at a minimum a 2x5 C&C. Younger piggies can be a little more challenging to catch than older ones, and Storm certainly fits this description! Rusty and Storm, on the other hand, are pretty chill little fellows. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and stunning trio to fill your home with personality, these boys might just be your perfect match.
Piggles & Muggles - On Hold
Adoption fee: $60.00 pair of entire males
Piggles and Muggles - two handsome boys around two years of age. These lads came from a group of five guinea pigs who were used to a free-range lifestyle, though with the Australian climate and wildlife, we strongly advise against this setup for safety reasons. Piggles is a big fella, weighing in at 1475g, but don’t let his size fool you - he’s quite timid. We’re hoping that now he’s indoors, he’ll start to relax and gain confidence. Muggles, on the other hand, couldn’t be more different! He’s easy to handle, loves a cuddle, and takes everything in stride. If they were both like Muggles, they’d be perfect for younger families. However, due to Piggles’ shy and easily startled nature, we’d recommend this pair for a home with older children or adults who can give Piggles the patience and calm environment he needs to feel safe. They make a lovely bonded pair - one gentle soul and one confident little friend to lead the way.
Chippy & Bok Choy
Adoption fee: $60.00 pair of entire males
Chippy and Bok Choy came from the same surrender as Piggles and Muggles. Due to their previous outdoor lifestyle, Bok Choy - a lovely longhair - arrived very matted and required significant grooming. For this reason, these two are available to INDOOR-ONLY homes where their coats and wellbeing can be properly maintained. Both boys are calm, gentle, and content to be handled. They’ve adjusted beautifully to indoor life and will make wonderful companions for a patient, caring family. We offer affordable grooming services for adopters, as well as a free health check every three months to help ensure your piggies stay happy and healthy.
Snowy & Stormy
Adoption fee: $60.00 pair of entire females
If you’re searching for a cuddly, older pair of ladies, Stormy and Snowy may just be the ones for you! At around five years of age, these two beautiful girls are calm, affectionate, and love nothing more than a good snuggle and a quiet life. Snowy is a stunning longhair and will require regular grooming to keep her coat soft and free from tangles. For this reason, she is available to indoor-only homes where her coat can be properly cared for. Stormy has what’s known as a “fatty eye” - where the skin beneath the eye droops slightly, allowing a small pocket of fat to show. This is purely genetic and causes no health issues or discomfort whatsoever. Both girls are gentle-natured and would make wonderful companions for someone looking to share their home with two loving, low-maintenance seniors who still have plenty of love to give.
Kiki & Narla
Adoption fee: $60.00 pair of entire females
Kiki and Narla were surrendered into our care by an ex-registered breeder. Both girls are on the older side - around six and three years of age - but don’t let that fool you! In the sixteen years I’ve been running the Lair, I’ve never had a Texel pass away before the age of nine, and a few have even reached the ripe old age of eleven! So, while I originally considered letting these lovely ladies retire here, I’d love to give them one last chance at a forever home. Due to their long, thick coats (which have been trimmed in this photo), they are available to indoor-only homes where they can stay clean, comfortable, and properly groomed. These two are gentle, affectionate, and deserving of a peaceful home filled with love, soft bedding, and endless veggies.
Lily & Lovey - On Hold
Adoption fee: $60.00 pair of entire females
Lily & Lovey are searching for their forever home – together! Together, they make the perfect pair - balancing each other out with their different personalities. They love their veggies, endless hay, and cozy naps side by side. At three years old, they’re past the baby stage and ready to bring a steady, calm kind of joy to the right home. Guinea pigs are social by nature, and these two prove why. If you’re looking to open your heart and home to not just one but two special girls, Lovey & Lily would love to meet you!
Lala & Lucy
Adoption fee: $60.00 pair of entire females
Lala and Lucy were surrendered into our care on the 24th of July after their previous owner discovered she was highly allergic. At the time, we were told they were around fifteen months old.
Lala is a speedy little lady - she’s quick on her feet, so we wouldn’t recommend this pair for families with young children. Once she’s settled on your lap, though, she enjoys a good snuggle.
Lucy is the more easy-going of the two but does require regular grooming due to her beautiful long coat. For that reason, longhairs like Lucy are only approved for indoor homes where their coat can be properly maintained.
If you’re ready to give this sweet pair the love and care they deserve, please fill out an adoption application below!
Itchy & Scratchy
Adoption fee: $70.00 one de-sexed male one entire male
This cheeky pair were adopted from us three years ago - almost to the day! Late last year they came back for holiday boarding, and that’s when I noticed Itchy (left) squealing and bleeding when he urinated. Usually that points to stones or an infection, so I contacted their family. Sadly, they decided not to proceed with treatment and surrendered both boys back into our care.
Dr. CJ got to work. X-rays showed no stones, just a little sludge and a mild infection. Medication cleared things up - until we weaned him off, and the squealing returned. Another X-ray, still no stones, still just a small infection. More meds, more relief… until symptoms crept back again.
Finally, Dr. CJ suggested desexing, suspecting a prostate issue. And since that surgery - not a single squeal of pain - Itchy is completely back to his cheeky self!
Now that he’s healthy, there’s no reason for these two to stay in Lair life any longer. They’re quick on their feet, so I wouldn’t recommend them for a young family, but in the right adult home, while lively they’re a loving duo who give back every bit of the care you give them.
If you think you could be their forever home, apply today and give these boys the happy ending they deserve. Please do note that they require a minimum of 70x70cms each to continue their happy antics!
Junior
Adoption fee: $30.00 for one entire male
Sweet Junior, born earlier this year, came into our care alongside his dad MBG. Sadly, the pair didn’t quite see eye to eye, so we made the decision to separate them for their own happiness. Junior is a gentle boy who loves people and enjoys a cuddle, but he hasn’t yet found his perfect guinea pig companion. Do you have a lonely piggy who might be the friend Junior’s been waiting for? If so, we’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet trial to see if they’re a good match. Fill out an adoption application today and help Junior find the friendship he deserves!
MBG - On Hold
Adoption fee: $30.00 for one entire male
Originally named “My Body Guard”, this handsome fella now goes by the catchy nickname MBG. He’s the father of Junior, though the pair weren’t the best match together, so we’re now looking to find MBG a friend who truly suits him. MBG is estimated to be around 18 months to 2 years old. You may notice a little protrusion from his right eye – this is known as fatty eye. It’s a genetic condition with no cure, but the good news is that it causes no pain, infection, or health issues. It simply makes MBG all the more unique and adds to his charismatic charm! If you have a lonely piggy looking for companionship, MBG might be the perfect match. Fill out an adoption application today to arrange a trial meet-up at a time that works for us both!
