About Us

Meet the Human Team

Hello! We are Sarah, Ian and Rowan and we took over the day-to-day running of Cavies & Cake in early 2025.

Back in 2020, founders Diana and Michelle created a unique space for people from all walks of life to experience the fun and therapy of handling and cuddling guinea pigs while in a safe and relaxing environment.

We're absolutely thrilled to continue this rewarding venture and we look forward to welcoming regular and new visitors to our guinea pig paradise!

Meet the Guinea Pig Team

I'm Lilac and I'm a Teddy guinea pig. I'm a quiet and polite piggy who loves cuddles.

A fun fact about me is that I'm the only piggy in the Cavies & Cake herd to have ruby eyes which really stand out against my lilac and tan fur colouring.

I'm Lucky and I'm an Peruvian guinea pig.

I'm instantly recognisable by my explosion of fur! Some days I love cuddles, other days I love to be groomed on the table. I'm very inquisitive and will come and say hello with a gentle sniff. I'm a very chatty guinea pig and have lots to tell you, although you may find it difficult to understand!

I'm Cheddar and I'm a short-haired guinea pig.

I arrived at Cavies & Cake with my bestie, Crackers. I love a nice, comfy lap and will, when the mood takes me, gaze lovingly at my human friends!

I'm Mavis and I'm an Abyssinian guinea pig.

I may be small in stature but I'm big in personality and incredibly inquisitive!

I like to wander around the table after a bite to eat and sometimes like to climb on shoulders! There's a lot more to see when you're higher up!

I'm Autumn and I'm a black and tan Short-haired guinea pig.

I love staring competitions and lap cuddles. I also like to scale arms and shoulders. I love kale and spinach with a splash of coriander!

I'm Ash and I'm a Short-haired guinea pig.

I have the softest fur and with my colouring could pass for a chinchilla!

I'm fast and inquisitive and love to jump on things I shouldn't! Unlike the rest of my herd, I'm not afraid to use the ramps in our cages so stick around and watch my human team try and catch me - it's great fun!

I'm Bumpy and I'm an Abyssinian guinea pig.

I joined the herd in March 2025 and have settled in perfectly with all my new friends.

I love cucumber sticks as well as fresh coriander from the GPHQ courtyard garden.

If you're in need of calming cuddles, I'm your lady!

Adopted by:

Suzy, Deene & Henry Spriggs (my original family)

I'm Frida and I'm a Short-haired guinea pig.

I am sleek and loveable. I adore laps and will wait in front of my chosen human for cuddles.

I'm one of the most laid back guinea pigs in my herd, along with my sister, Harley. I also like to make carrot confetti when cuddled.

I'm Cindy and I'm an Agouti Rex guinea pig.

I've very short, dense fur and lots of people say I look like a squirrel!

I'm a complete chatterbox, especially when I'm with my bestie, Aurora!

Adopted by:

Rocco & Archie Cahill

I'm Blanket and I'm a skinny pig.

I'm hairless with the exception of the white fur on my nose and feet. I love having my nose rubbed and, if I'm in the mood, I love a chin rub too! I eat substantially more than my friends as I have a high metabolism to keep my body temperature up. Basically, I love my food!

I'm Crackers and I'm a Coronet guinea pig.

My fur is short at the front and very long at the back. Many people have likened it human hair! I'm chilled out and like my own space but love my cuddles. And spinach. And kale. And cucumber. And carrot. Well, the list goes on...!

I'm Aurora and I'm a Swiss guinea pig.

If you want big fur then I'm your piggie!

I like to have loud chats with my friend, Cindy. I also liked to be brushed but, in all honesty, my fur will still stand up on end no matter how much you brush me. I'm a natural puffball pig and that's how I roll!
