RSPCA Cymru is appealing for information after two guinea pigs were found abandoned in a box at a Caerphilly park.

The two long-haired guinea pigs – one ginger and one grey – were found at Skomer Island Way Park on Monday, February 15. The animals were found in a box near the children’s play area.

RSPCA inspector Simon Evans said: “These two guinea pigs were found in a box, which suggests they were just dumped, rather than they accidentally escaped from their owners.

“The two guinea pigs – both male – were taken to RSPCA’s Merthyr Tydfil Clinic for a health check. They are both in a good body condition, although the ginger one is slightly underweight.

“Unfortunately neither is microchipped so we don’t know who they belong to.

“Anyone with any information should contact the RSPCA inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018.”

If you spot an animal in distress, please call the RSPCA’s 24-hour helpline on 0300 1234 999.
