SPOT and Fuzz are two chirpy little guinea pigs in need of new homes.

The pair, who are about eight months old, would like to be homed together and Fuzz has been castrated.

They can be a little skittish but will make great family pets with regular handling and they would be happy to live with a family with older children.

The lively duo like to nibble on a mixture of fresh fruit and vegetables – such as lettuce, cucumber, carrots and apples – as well as dried food and hay, but full dietary and care advice will be given upon adoption.

STARescue currently has a large number of rabbits and cats also in need of new homes.

Anyone wishing to adopt Spot and Fuzz or find out about any other homeless pets, can call the charity on 01256 330532 and leave their name and phone number. More details are online at starescue.info.
