Finding it really hard to find a gp from a rescue as although we have had guinea pigs happily for over 10 years and have a lovely space for them on the landing and outside space etc the cage is 120 by 70 cm as recommended on RSPCA. And local rescues seem to require 160 cm at least. Found a suitable pair of girls available at RSPCA site and started filling a form and the cage requirement suddenly seemed to be 170 cm!
I'd be happy to get a bigger cage but it would not fit the current space and the only place it would fit would be a dining room which would restrict natural interaction that guineas have had up until now.
Any idea whether all rescues are likely to have this requirement? (For 2)
The alternative would be a private Facebook rescue group I've seen but all guineas coming up are boys or miles away. And we have a lonely girl whose cage mate died recently.
It's so frustrating when local rescues are full to bursting. I daresay they have their reasons but this is why people use Pets @Home, Pets4home and Gumtree.
