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 Abyssinian 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 Piggy and I'm a Skinny guinea pig.

I'm almost hairless with the exception of a tiny amount of fur on the end of my nose. I'm very chatty when eating - and I eat lots! I need to, to keep warm. I like to be wrapped up when cuddled but I'm also partial to snuggles in cardigans and hoodies if they're on offer! I live with my sister, Blanket.

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 Cinnamon and I'm a Teddy guinea pig.

I love nothing more than to cuddle and will actively seek out laps, comfortable looking jumpers, cardigans or bags to snuggle into. I've recently discovered that hoodies make the perfect guinea pig hidey hole! My favourite pastime is being handfed and gently stroked on my back.

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!
