We live in a house and for many years have been looking for a outdoor shaped made of metal with house number a guinea pig.

Have seen lizards and butterflies. Any help much appreciated. Hoping this is in right section.

Can you post any links to the butterfly and lizard ones you have seen so we would know what you were looking for?

Alternatively, you might find a nice raised plaque to put up underneath the numbers to your house.

Sounds like something you might have to have custom made.

Lizards are usually just black as are the butterflies too. https://www.google.com/search?q=outdoor ... 00&bih=426

You seem to be able to get every animal, fish, bird but not a guinea pig. I have asked and asked with no luck. No-one has them or are not prepared to make them.

How about some sort of shelf attached to a wall near your door or a table next to your front door with a garden statue?

Not exactly what you were looking for but some may find this amusing

If I had a work shop or garage with the right tools I would have offered to make you one. Will see what else I can find.

You could make one out of wood. If you have a bandsaw that can cut the shape of the guinea pig, it should be pretty easy.

It's cute! Only 3 1/2" by 5" though. Made of resin and supposedly can be used inside or out.

My folks have one in the shape of a Hedgehog. It was a lump of slate that was already the right shape and my Dad engraved and painted an Eye and their house number on it
