A guinea pig is still missing from Love Gorgie Farm after the recovery of most of the animals that were taken on Wednesday.

The animals were stolen between 11am and 2pm on Wednesday. A rabbit and four guinea pigs were taken from the farm which caused them "huge distress" as the rabbit needs to have daily medication administered.

“Unfortunately Mary our long haired black and white Guinea pig was not with them. This is an ongoing investigation and any information would be greatly appreciated.
