If you are looking to adopt, you must fill out an adoption form 48 hours before Open Day.

We love this trend, so you know we had to make a guinea pig version! 🐹

(They are pretty harmless though... unless you trim their nails, give them a bath, don't feed them in time, take away their food....)

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about how long we’ll keep doing piggy parlour baths as it’s getting cooler.

And the answer is - we’re going to stop doing guinea pig baths as soon as it gets too cold. But not just yet.

The thing with that is, there’s no hard date on stopping baths just yet as it’s entirely dependent on what the weather decides to do! ☁️

So for now, watch this space for updates on bathtime and if your little one is getting a little stinky, you can still bring them to our next open day for a bath (bring a towel please!)

We love to see your little friends grow up! 🐹

This is NeeNee, who you may know as Winnie, one of our adoptables from a few months back.

NeeNee is growing well, and has developed a bit of sass! She came to visit us at the piggy parlour at our last open day for a nail trim. (And made her opinions about nail trims very clear to our volunteers! 😆)

It’s always a highlight to see pigs living their best lives in their forever homes and developing their own little personalities 😍

About Us

Qld Guinea Pig Refuge (QGPR) is a not-for-profit community services organisation dedicated to supporting, rescuing, and finding homes for lost, abandoned, unwanted and mistreated guinea pigs in Queensland. QGPR is 100% volunteer and donations based, having an extraordinary and hard working team of volunteers, foster carers and other behind the scenes helpers. All these wonderful people donate their time and money to QGPR and are the back bone of this organisation.

QGPR has a NO EUTHANASIA policy. This policy extends to all guinea pigs, unless their medical conditions are so severe that treatment is not possible and there is no other option. We will always put 100% into the treatment and care of our guinea pigs in order to get them back to the best of health. QGPR will take any ill, injured, unwanted or found guinea pigs from the public. These guinea pigs will be treated and/or fostered, and then re-homed under strict adoption procedures. In extreme cases, QGPR may accept cases from interstate where another supported rescue cannot help. We believe that every guinea pig deserves their voice to be heard and to be given a chance, and we will listen to any requests for help.

Our refuge is Brisbane based; however we have foster carers and volunteers spread across various areas of Queensland.
