One of our guinea pigs has recently died of old age leaving her 2 year old companion Millie. We do not want to get rid of her; but equally do not want her to be on her own. We are reluctant to get another young guinea pig friend for her; as we are nearing the end of our guinea pig years and if we keep replacing one, can’t quite see how it will end! Does anyone also have a guinea pig in need of companionship who would like Millie? She is used to over wintering in a frost free greenhouse (in her hutch) and going out, weather permitting, in a run on the grass in the day. Both hutch and run could go with her to a good home.

Guinea Pig dilemma
Sunday October 18, 2009 by Jane B


Is Millie rehomed yet? we also have a recently bereaved female guinea pig, Ruby. Our guinea pigs are thoroughly spoilt and very well looked after. We live in Birchover and would be delighted to have Millie. Please let me know and we could arrange to collect her.
Is this “match” a first for the Parwich blog?
Thanks to the blog Millie the Guinea pig has moved to Birchover to start a new life with Ruby the Guinea pig, also recently bereaved.
They found our posting on the blog by googling “Derbyshire guinuea pig” – the wonders of modern technology!
We are left with a hutch and a run if anyone wants them. The run is particularly solid having been passed to us by the Websters about 6 years ago, who were not its original owners! We don’t want any money for them.

Just to update you, Millie and Ruby are very happy together. After a couple of days of serious squeaking competition they have settled and can often be heard ‘purring’ and are inseparable. They both have a taste for juicy grapes so we make sure there are enough to go round.
Thank you.
