Bacchus Residents

Wesley arrived in our care with an unresolved respiratory infection and overgrown nails.  He was also in need of companionship.  He was an approximately 1-2-year-old unneutered boar.

He was supported with oral 1mg:1kg Metacam/Meloxicam (NSAID) QD and nebulized F10 antiseptic solution. Symptoms had mostly subsided but he had ongoing upper-respiratory inflammation, so we continued with oral NSAIDs. Shortly after antib...

Wolfy was one of our permanent resident guinea pigs who cohabited with Wilfred. The pair of them were inseparable, despite the big age-gap. We've had so many amazing memories with Wolfy, and he was one of our most-loved residents. For that reason, we decided to write a post about his arrival, life with us, and his passing.

Personally, I don't really believe in fate, but this felt as close to that as can be. Wolfy - originally George - was an elderly guinea pig in need of a special home due to chronic health complications. He'd require daily nursing and medicinal care....

We rescued Wilfred as a companion for Walter. Unfortunately, Walter developed acute kidney failure and very suddenly passed away.  Wilfred was very depressed. We adopted Wolfgang from Tiny Paws MCR to keep Wilfred company.

As a result, he was then housed outside the front of their house (despite living in an indoor-cage) until someone collected him. Fortunately, that someone was us. After we arrived home, we thoroughly checked Wilfred over. We estimated him to be approximately 4-6 months old and, apart from some matted fur, he was in good health  Wilfy is a grumpy boar with a huge personality - with bundles of cheekiness, too. Wolfgang: Tiny Paws MCR appea...

Walter was a perfect young skinny pig (hairless guinea pig) with an adorable fuzzy-face and a heart-wrenching life story. You can follow us on social media: Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter You can donate to us via Paypal and our Amazon Wishlist For other enquiries, please email: bacchusresidents@outlook.com Arrival: Walter's previous owner was looking for someone who could provide their beloved guinea pig with a better life - hopefully, with a friend, too.  We decided to offer Walter a sanctuary spot so we could improve his lifestyle.  Walter was 16 months/1.4 years old and in good health. All he needed was a larger living space and a boar-friend. New home: Thanks to the workers, and frequent donors at Alpha and Street Legal Tyres LTD , Walter had a new Piggy-pad built within no time. Meeting Wilfred: Walter also found companionship with a young neglected Guinea pig, Wilfred. Walter's life was perfect. It genuinely couldn...

Due to health complications that you are all aware of, I haven't taken in near as many animals this year. In fact I can count them on one hand. We received a message from a dear friend asking us to help them due to unavoidable and unforeseen circumstances. We were asked to take in Ronnie, their elderly guinea pig. I spoke to my family about it and we all agreed to pull together in order to help a friend and Ronnie. When Ronnie arrived to our home at the end of February, the whole family were taken back. We fell head over heels for him, he was such a loving and beautiful guinea Pig. My Mum loved preparing him his meals and watching him fill with joy whilst eating his food, and Andy used to love brushing his fur whilst having him on his lap singing away.  He was a real treasure to have. Sadly, during the middle of May, Ronnie became ill and had become very constipated. We took him to the vets on the very same day and he came home with some medication and critical care....
