Due to family commitments, we are unable to accept any new surrenders for the foreseeable future.
Current residents – All guinea pigs already in our care will continue to receive the love and attention they deserve.
Adoption interest still welcome – We are still accepting offers of interest for the guinea pigs we currently have available for adoption. If you’ve been thinking about giving some a loving home, please do get in touch.
No new surrenders – We cannot take in any additional guinea pigs at this time.
Holiday boarding – Ashtead Pet Boarding is still taking holiday boarding bookings, but in reduced numbers, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
Other options – If you need to rehome a guinea pig, please consider:
Contacting Furry Potatoes Guinea Pig Rescue in Godalming, ARC Twickenham, HugABunny Hotel in Camberley or the Gerbil and Rodent Rescue UK in SE25
We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support as we focus on both our family and the guinea pigs already in our care.
Thank you,

The Key to a Happy, Healthy Guinea Pig? 🐹🐹GOOD HAY! 
(see below for a discount code!)
Did you know that 80% of a guinea pig’s diet should be high-quality hay? It’s essential for:
Healthy Teeth – Hay helps wear down their ever-growing teeth naturally. Good Digestion – The fibre keeps their gut working smoothly. Mental Stimulation – Foraging and chewing prevent boredom!
What to look for in good hay:
Fresh & fragrant 
Green, not brown 
Free from dust & mould Not packed in plastic
At Ashtead Pet Boarding & Guinea Pig Rescue we use top quality hay delivered in manageable boxes directly to our door from HayDayhq. Our mainstay is Moreish Meadow which is a wonderful blend of mixed grasses – excellent for bedding, burrowing, sleeping, playing and of course, eating! We also use soft Timothy hay on a daily basis. And to add enrichment we regularly sample different types of hay, dried forage and dried grass. The guineas adore their hay and enrichment!

We live and work in a lovely residential area.
Please be respectful of our neighbours and keep their driveways clear!
Thank you
Please note we are an independent, home-based, self-funded Rescue. We are not supported by any other local Rescue but we do work closely with other like-minded Rescues in the area.
We rely on donations to support our work in the Rescue and are so grateful for any goodies from our Amazon wish list or financial contributions 🙂 Please be aware that we do not receive any donations via any other person or any other Rescue. Don’t be scammed! If in doubt contact me directly!
New from 2024 – we will be closed every Wednesday but will be open on most Bank Holidays
We recommend a website called Guinea Piggles which is an amazing site, with tons of information about Guinea Pig care. It’s really well written, easy to understand and unbiased. There are beautiful printable sheets on diet, care and forage.
