LISTING EXPIRED. Two bonded boar brothers in Baltimore need a new home. Their small adoption fee includes the cage, water bottle, food dish, and salt lick (never use these for guinea pigs). They're friendly agouti boys who are socialized to people.



In the first and second picture it's the two babies on the right.

POST DELETED. The laziness in this ad fatigues me:

"I have a Male Adult Guinea Pig that I can't keep no more. It has his own cage. I'm just giving it away because I don't have the room for it anymore.
Please email me and let me know if you are interested."

LISTING DELETED. Richmond Sow needs new home. Her caretaker is possibly becoming unemployed, and so she wants to find the guinea girl a more stable home. She is a year old, comes with cage and accessories, and is white, red, and gray. She sounds beautiful! She is a vocal girl who loves to eat. Help her find her forever home!

LISTING EXPIRED. Woodbridge, VA post infuriates me more than any other in the history of time, aside from that other one earlier today in New York.

THIS IS NOT CUTE. THIS IS NOT SAFE.
THIS IS SCARY FOR THE PIG.

Poster says that the boar, Ralfie, didn't squirm during this process. He had probably gone in to predator mode, and frozen. Ralfie is a vocal, friendly, active boy. He is two years old. HELP OUT THIS GUINEA PIG, please??

ADOPTED! This boar near Norfolk, off Indian River/Virginia Beach, sounds like a real cute sweetheart. He is a classic petstore purchase--->Craigslist dump. It does not seem like this poster is going to screen, which is very worrying. The poster bought the guinea pig for a friend's daughter who didn't take good enough care of him. So she's dumping him on Craigslist for fr33. He comes with a cage, water bottle, two types of bedding, food, and some things that are on the guinea no-list.

* 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. *
