Four Guinea pigs were dumped on the doorstep of a resident in Edinburgh on Monday prompting an appeal from the Scottish SPCA.
The four furry friends were abandoned on Newhaven Road by their owner before one resident in the area opened their front door and revealed what was inside the box.
Scottish SPCA inspector June Chalcroft said the box contained straw, food and a rather redundant note saying not to move it upside down or side to side.
