🔥 Heat Can Kill: Protect Your Pets! 🐰🐹

Hot summer days can be life-threatening for rabbits and guinea pigs. Their hutches can become ovens, fast.

The hutch in this graphic is WAY too small- smaller spaces heat up FAST.

Here’s what you need to know:

🚨 Danger: Heatstroke, dehydration, flystrike—these are deadly risks.

🌡️ They can’t sweat or pant like dogs. Overheating happens quickly.

🧊 Keep them cool:
- Shade and airflow are non-negotiable
- Ice packs in towels = instant relief
- Fresh, cool water
- Clean hutches to prevent flies

✅ Act fast if they seem sluggish or over-warm. Move them to a cool spot and call your vet.

Don’t let heat steal your furry friend’s summer.

Share to keep small pets safe this season!❤️🐾

Sadly, this weekend we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Pepper. ❤️

Pepper came to us just over a year ago to spend her retirement years at the rescue. She was already 6 years old when she arrived, and from the moment she joined us she was loved and cherished.
We feel incredibly lucky to have been part of her life and to have given her a safe, caring home in her later years. She brought us so much joy, and she will be greatly missed by everyone here.

Sleep tight, sweet Pepper, thank you for the memories, beautiful little lady 💕

Two of our lovely ladies enjoying our new pet dryer 💕

This dryer is amazing, as seen on Masons' Cavies thank you Sophie for such an excellent idea 💓

It has already made such a difference for some of our more nervous guinea pigs who find a traditional hair dryer stressful, especially the noise. With this dryer they can simply relax and chill while enjoying a gentle warm breeze and low-noise environment, it also allows me more time to care for the other piggies while they are drying, saving so much time.

Some of our guinea pigs do need regular baths and extra care.
New arrivals sometimes come from dirty living conditions and may arrive covered in urine and faeces, or require treatment shampoos for mites and lice. Some of our elderly residents also need a little extra help with hygiene cleaning or skin conditions that require ongoing care.

We were able to purchase this pet dryer thanks to the support from our Spring Fundraiser, and it has been a fantastic addition to our wellbeing shed.

Thank you to everyone who supports Little Garden Farm Guinea Pig Rescue, your kindness truly helps us improve the care and comfort of the piggies in our care ❤️

Amy Winehouse fans 🎶

We have been very kindly donated this amazing hand crafted Amy Winehouse doll by the very talented Micky Doll ❤️ to raise funds for the rescue guinea pigs.

We haven't decided quite how we are going to do this, and if there's enough Amy Winehouse fans on our page to do a raffle or auction here.

What do you think?

Meet our oldest guinea pigs at the rescue 💕 our handsome boy Clyde is now 8 years old and beautiful Pepper is 7 years old.

We love treating our older piggies to a few extra treats and supplements to help support them in their later years for their joints and skin as we do ourselves.

Some piggies arrive with us as senior piggies, and because they need that little bit of extra care and attention, they stay with us where they can enjoy lots of love and comfort.

We've added some special items to our Amazon wishlist just for our older ladies and gentlemen.
If you'd like to treat one of our senior piggies to something, we would be so grateful 🥰
