The book section of our gift shop is beginning to take shape. We now have a wonderful range of fiction, non fiction, nature and outdoors, local interest, children’s and, of course, guinea pig books! We have just added a new section - dyslexia-friendly. We hope to open more hours as our gift shop continues to grow, as does the need for guinea pig cuddles. Just need more hours in the day!

Until we can train the guinea girls how to use the card machine, anyone fancy volunteering?!!

For your viewing and listening pleasure, many we introduce a minute of uninterrupted hay chewing (and a special appearance from Luna). Because sometimes, we need to be in guinea pig nirvana. You’re welcome.
