MD-Craigslist-Eldersburg Sows

Though I'm sure the poster just put these two outside for the photo, let's go over some guinea ground rules: They Can't Live Outside! A Predator Could Knock Over That Cage And Eat Them! If You Do Take Your Guinea Pigs Outside Let Them Eat Some Untreated And Un-peed On Grass Instead Of Your Deck's Splinters!

LISTING REMOVED. Great. Two vocal bonded four year old sisters are being given away for adoption on Craigslist. If highly publicized shelters and rescues can't adopt out guinea pigs older than three, I worry about this pair's chances for getting a good forever home. They aren't super socialized to people yet-also will hurt their odds. But the small adoption fee does come with their cage, bedding, water bottles, dishes, food, alfalfa (the girls are too old for eating alfalfa and should absolutely not have this)-maybe this will get 'em picked up. Being rehomed because of asthma. One's a Peruvian. This makes me sad as hell.

VA-Craigslist, two sows

POST EXPIRED. Two precious sows being given away in Hopewell, VA (near Richmond). Opal and Pearl are two years old and have lived together their entire life, so they have to be adopted together. They're sweet, loving, and easygoing. They come with pigloo, cage, water bottle, and food dishes.

Christ, I hope these actually get adopted. Sent the owner a letter. I don't understand how people can part with pets-pets should be able to part with people though.

* AAGP recommends quarantining any new guinea pigs
for 2-3 weeks and confirming the sex yourself.

Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *

VA-Craigslist, Norfolk boar

FLAGGED FOR REMOVAL. Fun, playful gray and white boar in Norfolk being rehomed due to new addition in the family. Congratulations to humans, sadulations for piggie. He's playful, loving, and loves to roam, including running up and down the stairs. Gives guinea kisses while being pet (this is an amazing feeling). Comes with cage, house, water bottle, food dish, other toys, food and bedding, all for a small adoption fee. He sounds like a winner.

DANGER: he comes with a plastic ball to run around in. Petstores market these toward people for guinea pigs and chinchillas, but they actually can be deadly. GPs can break the bones in their feet, spine, and also many become quite frightened. Chinchillas can overheat incredibly quickly and die. Do not buy these for animals other than a hamster.
