RSPCA report 90% rise in Guinea Pigs being cared for by the charity in last 2 years

Today may mark the end of National Guinea Pig Awareness Week, (26th-30th Sept) but many people don't realise how much attention they really need.

We spoke to Rebecca Mctrustery from Waddesdon based RSPCA branch Blackberry Farm, and she shared her expertise on caring for Guinea Pigs:
