Guinea pig home in cash crunch after Facebook funding row


Owners say rehoming the guinea pigs is "a real possibility" after the sudden loss of income.

Ms Mason said it costs "a huge amount" to pay for the care of their guinea pigs, with fees ranging from housing and heating to food and medical bills.
