MD-Guinea Pig Home-Two boars

LISTING REMOVED. Two Charm City boars are being advertised for rehoming on Guinea Pig Home. Lefty and Early are three to four years old, tame, friendly and social. They love veggies, attention and lap time. They can come with a C&C cage on the cheap. Can be adopted separately. Poster says that two males cannot get along, please disregard this. There are various scenarios that make it more and less likely for two or more males to bond, including the variable of the guineas' personalities. These two may just have not been compatible, but that doesn't mean one of them wouldn't be compatible with your boar at home.

Early

Lefty

VA-Animal Welfare League of Washington-Sow

WITH A RESCUE! Animal Welfare League of Arlington has an oh, so, cute girly pig. I adore her. I am not sure if the restraint I am showing by my posting her, rather than adopting her without the space is coming across right now. I love this girl. Two years old and cute as can be, here's Carrie:

POST DELETED. Perryhall (near Baltimore), MD: Senior intact male looking for a new home. I don't understand how someone could rehome an animal in their possible last years of life, but here we are. This is one of those times where I would make a comparison to people, but we rehome our senior parents too. Maybe we're not doing too great as a culture all around. When 85 year old grandmas are advertised on CL as good with kids, I believe the other shoe will have officially dropped. He's a quiet guy who has been through a bladder stone, but a modified diet has helped him out. I think his twilight years might finally be time for a mate (spayed, if female, of course). Special brownie points for rescuing this one.


LISTING REMOVED. Laurel, MD: An ad where everything goes wrong. Guinea pigs should never, ever, ever be kept in tanks. Not even in a rescue short term. This is very detrimental for them. The "Rollin' in the Hay" ball pictured has also almost cost guinea pigs their lives when they get stuck. Not to forget that it's too much work for the guinea pigs to get the hay. Bear is an adult pig with a smooth white, orange (and it looks some brown) coat. He's a sweet shy boy who is not currently being held by his current owner. He is only getting fresh food four times a week. Comes with some supplies, but *not* the cage. Worrisome. First off, it's a tank, second off, what's going to go in it next?

POST DELETED. Fairfax, VA: This guy looks like a handful. In that he looks like that lovable pudgy guinea type, that's either a result of lack of exercising or pudgy genes. Snickers is two years old, very sweet and friendly, a cuddler who's used to kids. Sounds perfect! Comes with some basic supplies. Being rehomed due to excessive travel.
