Hey everyone! Just a quick note that we’re a little behind on messages right now. I’m a bit under the weather and in the middle of my daughter’s ice show and off-season wrestling, and Whitney is deep in the sports chaos with her kids too.

Just know we see your messages and we will get back to you—we’re just moving a little slower than usual. Thanks so much for your patience 💛

Around here we’re basically a guinea pig mom group. We’re a bunch of moms who spend our days driving kids to sports, reheating the same cup of coffee three times, wondering where everyone’s water bottle went… and somewhere in between all that, we also rescue guinea pigs and help them find their forever homes.

A lot of people ask how they can help when they can’t adopt. The honest answer is we go through an unbelievable amount of hay and pellets feeding all these tiny potato-shaped mouths. If anyone ever wants to help keep the snack bar open, we do keep an Amazon wishlist with the supplies we use the most. Never expected, always appreciated.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming of carpools, cold coffee, and guinea pigs. 💕

❤️ We just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU. This week and weekend have been incredible for our little rescue.

Several piggies have found homes or had deposits placed, and we are so grateful for every single adopter who stepped up to give these sweet potatoes a place to land.

🐹 Heading to new homes soon:
• Daisy
• Rosie
• Buttercup
• Sprout
• Elor
• Clementine
• Lyric
• Piper
• Willow
• Tulip

Every adoption helps us create space so we can continue helping guinea pigs that need rescue.

Right now we are still not accepting any new surrenders while we get our numbers back down and make sure everyone currently in care is settled and thriving. But thanks to all of these adoptions, we’re getting closer to being able to help again soon. ❤️

🐹💚 Meet Nelson… also known as “Half Nelson!” 💚🐹

This handsome guy is about 1–2 years old and is one of the sweetest boys you’ll meet. Nelson is very friendly, curious, and always happy to come say hello when you walk by. He loves exploring, snacks, and cozy hiding spots (as you can see from his strawberry house 🍓).

If you think Nelson might be the perfect addition to your family, send us a message to start the screening process. Homes that meet our cage and care requirements only.

Let’s find this sweet boy the loving home he deserves! 💚🐹
