four daughters and Trixie has 3 sons. A week later, Angel had her babies, 3 girls and a boy.
We are very happy with all these babies, Angel and Trixie have done an excellent job of sharing the feeding. As if that wasn't enough, Muffin very quietly and without any fuss whatsoever had her single baby, so quietly that it was only when she was put out into the run and started kicking up a fuss, we realised we had left her enormous baby behind!! What a whopper weighing 125g he is our biggest baby born here and with Erik the proud father we are hopeful that he will follow in both his parents footsteps, so watch this space, we have aptly named him Sunshine Surprise, he will of course be staying here!! Please see our Babies for Sale page to find out where they are going!! |

Our new addition - Biscuit Beauvale Cavies - Biscuit
May 2011 - Just one look at Biscuit
and I decided that this cute little bundle must come and live with us; she
has Swedish lines and will make a rather nice pairing with Erik our Danish
boar.
She is now making a home in our newest hutch which she shares with Muffin, and Nutmeg. She has settled in nicely and is growing in confidence every day. Biscuit is extremely quick and agile.
She is very inquisitive and has an enormous appetite, we're sure that she will make lots of new friends here at Beauvale. |
All aboard at Beauvale..!

March 2011 - Hazel was looking at guinea pigs on the web - as you do, and came across a photo of Marcie on Preloved. She immediately fell in love with this lovely girl.

Most amazing colouring competition! Winning picture - amazing
December 2010 - Hazel visited our local Brownie pack with a few of our prized guinea pigs. Although many of the Brownies had pets of their own, they were amazed by how soft and cuddly guinea pigs actually are!
While the visit was fun, it wasn't all about cuddling our furry friends. Hazel spoke with them about caring, feeding and showing guinea pigs. The Brownies were amazed that guinea pigs could actually win prizes in shows! Hazel invited the girls to compete for prizes of their own and handed out colouring sheets from Small Animal Channel.com. The results were truly remarkable. We have put all of the pictures on our Memberships and Links page. Have a look and let us know what you think..!! |

Poynton Show Results Beauvale Cavies - Cookie
August 2010 - we entered the Poynton Show with five of our lovely Teddy Guinea Pigs. We really had no expectations whatsoever as this was our very first show. The idea, like for many, was to go along and learn; then improve for the next local show. Well.... we were shocked!! Cookie (pictured here) our oldest Teddy Sow was exactly what the judge was looking for and she won 'best of breed' and also 'best rare variety' for which we are immensely proud.
Our others also did well, although no further rosettes. The 'gang' came away with several more 1st's, 2nd's, and 3rd's.Very exciting for our first time. |
