VA-Craigslist, disaster post, two guinea pigs

LISTING EXPIRED. God this post is terrible. Leesburg, VA, two guinea pigs for fr33. Being given away because of the child's allergies (sounds like an impulse pet store buy-the sticker is still on the litter tray). They offer an exercise ball (These can kill your guinea pig), a salt lick (guinea pigs aren't deer-huge no no), water bowl (they mean water bottle, right?), calcium (they mean vitamin C, right?), a food dispenser full of crap food, and don't worry, the guinea pigs are clean-they were bathed weekly. Guinea pigs are self cleaning. Unless there's clumpy or matted fur, a guinea pig really only needs a bath once or twice a year. They hate baths, generally, and because of their fragile immune systems wet fur can lead to a URI and death.

The guinea pigs also come with a guinea pig book. Don't trust anything it says.
