LISTING REMOVED. Boonsboro Area, MD: I have a feeling updating this blog will be making me irrevocably sad and angry. Anyway. Peanut is a female pig being given away because the parents' kids don't have time for her anymore. And I guess she doesn't either. I wonder if all the parents who get sweet, defenseless animals in order to teach their children responsibility punish them greatly once they give up on the animals. Somehow I doubt it.

She comes with a "tank" and vitamins. The tank is obviously very bad for a guinea pig as it does not provide adequate ventilation for the relatively respiratory systems. Somehow I doubt the "vitamins" is vitamin c. Poor pig. No mention of a rehoming fee.

LISTING REMOVED. Norfolk, VA -Cookie is a young a fellow who is being dumped because the couple had a kid. Anyway, the rehoming fee is reasonable and he comes with a bevy of items (the "food" and "bag of treats" is very suspect as I doubt they are referring to a bag of veggies and fruit, respectively). His cage is outrageously small, and I imagine it was outrageously expensive at a pet store. I really haven't a clue what that log is, but I imagine it's something that belongs in an aquarium and is not safe for guinea pigs. He should, of course, have a pigloo instead. I also see no traces of hay, which guinea pigs must have at their disposable at all times. Oh, poor sucker.

Thanks to Naomi for pointing it out.

Furthermore, this is my inaugural post.

LISTING REMOVED. Norfolk, VA: Ugh, vomit. Poster got two guinea pigs for her daughter for Christmas "and now she does not want to take care of them, she wants a bunny instead." Why not get her a BB gun so she can wreak even more havoc on the animal kingdom? Of course then she'll probably want a glock, haha oh kids. Poster is too busy to take care of the guinea pigs, so now they are being dumped for a reasonable rehoming fee on Craigslist. The poster says the pigs are both girls, "one is bigger than the other, but they are both babies." I would double check the sex and make sure that "bigger" guinea pig isn't a 6 for 1 deal. Guinea pigs come with a number of supplies; undoubtedly the cage will be too small.

And with that, I'm off! Keep looking to the stars.
