Qld Guinea Pig Refuge Open Days!
|
The Qld Guinea Pig Refuge does not have an actual 'Refuge'. All our
guinea pigs live with foster carers in their homes. The Refuge holds open days on the first and third Saturday of every month at The Bald Hills Scout Den 508 Bracken Ridge Road Bracken Ridge For details, click on the address above or refer to the map below Open days provide an opportunity to meet our guinea pigs on foster care, adopt, visit our QGPR Piggy Shop, and purchase food and hay. You can also have your guinea pig groomed at our Piggy Parlour, which offers nail trims, mite and worm treatment, bathing (during warmer months only), grooming and clipping. Don't forget to ask about our loyalty programs! We also have various food sales points in the Brisbane area. |

Adoptable of the Month!
AstroDo you have a single female guinea pig looking for a friend? Then meet Astro, a desexed male! This is his bio...
Hi, my name is Astro. My nickname is Mr Personality (I gave that to myself). My foster carer says I’m such a sweetie but don’t tell anyone because that might ruin my macho image. My favourite hobby is flipping my igloo – it drives my people crazy. I also like being cuddled, fed and being the centre of attention. When it’s dinner time I like to be at the side of the cage to make sure my people see how cute I am in the hopes of getting even more food than usual (this seems to work). I’m a bit lonely at the moment and need a female friend to be my sidekick so we can rule the world together (or at least our cage). Please note that if you would like to adopt Astro, you will need to bring your guinea pig to an open day for a meet and greet, as not all guinea pigs will pair successfully. Click here to learn more about Astro... To fill out an adoption form for Astro, please click here. The QGPR Wheekly Newsletter!Did you know that the Qld Guinea Pig Refuge has its very own newsletter?
