VA-Craigslist-Four guinea pigs, two pairs

This is a repost.

LISTING REMOVED. Salem, VA: Two boys, two girls, all under a year old. They need an ASAP home. Would be ideal if all four were adopted, bonded pairs acceptable. Can come with cage and supplies. Please ignore the poster's advice to bring a "box" to come get them. An animal carrier is obviously a necessary object for any guinea pig owner.

Again, I'm terrifically sick today. Just posting the basics. Go to the links for more information.

POST DELETED. Leesburg/Purceville, VA: Very cute, sweet looking black and white sow. Eight months old, comes with all accessories and too-small cage. She's shy with strangers, but warms up quickly. Will transport. I want her!

MD-Montgomery County Humane Society-Bonded Boars

LISTING REMOVED. Montgomery County Humane Society has two new bonded guinea cows. They are adorable ten month old boars named Potsy and Peter. If you're not a fan of red eyes (something which always confuses me, as a pig's personality comes first with me), the red eyesx may be either enhanced or created by the flash. Healthy guinea pig eyes generally cast a red reflection, regardless of color. Potsy is pictured first, followed by Peter.

VA-Animal Welfare League of Alexandria-sow

*I am really sick today, and am very behind on both approving comments and posting guinea pigs. I am going to write briefer posts just for my sanity*

Special Note: I wrote inquiring about adopting Miss Piggy myself, but she had already been adopted. If her adopter ever reads this, you have all my envy!

ADOPTED! The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has one of the coolest looking guinea pigs I've ever seen! Her name is Miss Piggy. She's a year and a half old, and she has a crest!

LISTING REMOVED. Trappe, on the Eastern Shore, MD: two four year old boars being rehomed because the kid lost interest. Doesn't seem very fair to the pigs. They come with cage, water bottle, and food. I hope someone genuinely has the room to help them!
