LISTING REMOVED Towson, MD: Two guinea pigs (PREGNANCY WATCH) being rehomed for classic reason. To quote from the bio: "I brought them because my daughter always likes to pet them at PetSmart. But now that we own them she is so scared of them. She won't even pick them up!" Something to consider before procuring a pet for a child. A parent must always be prepared to be the main (and possibly sole) caregiver. Guinea pigs come with cage, food, and water bottle.

LISTING REMOVED Dundalk, MD: Female baby guinea pig being rehomed with new cage ( Cheaper, Larger Cages ), food, treats, water bottle, bedding, and salt wheel (never use). Reasonable rehoming fee.

LISTING REMOVED Gaithersburg, MD: Two guinea pigs being rehomed, both four months old. One is a black and brown male named Chocolate Pie, the other is a female named Black pig (PREGNANCY WATCH). If they are bonded it's best to have the male neutered by a Cavy Savvy Vet to keep the pair safely together. Keep the male separate for two weeks after the surgery as he will still be fertile, and watch the site for up to a year and a half for signs of abscess.

Their rehoming fee includes a large cage, liner, puppy pads, "toilet bowl," water bottle, pellet food dispenser, 1/2 bag of food, 1/2 bag of hay, and DANGEROUS DEADLY CEDAR BEDDING WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE USED FOR PETS BECAUSE IT CAN KILL THEM. The fact that pet stores sell cedar bedding should be a crime. It is completely toxic because of aromatic oils and responsible for so many URIs, so many infections, so many breathing problems. Read about appropriate Bedding at link.




* 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. *
