LISTING REMOVED. Richmond, VA: Two guinea pigs, sex not specified (do a pregnancy check) available for adoption. One is one year old, the other is two years old and they are both rust colored. Quote to support a standard AAGP general guideline, that parents should expect to be primary caretakers:
"We have really enjoyed them, but my son has lost interest in them and now I am the real caretaker!" And so the guinea pigs are being rehomed. If you are not willing to take complete care of the pet, then don't procure for your child a living, breathing dependent being, only to rehome it when the inevitable happens.
Guinea pigs come with left over food and cages for very reasonable adoption fee. They are willing to separate the pigs. I hope the adopter isn't, as guinea pigs are highly social creatures, and so are very vulnerable to depression.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
