VA-Loudoun County Animal Shelter-Six new guinea pigs!
Bumble is a seven month old male guinea pig with what looks like soft abby fur:
Mr. Wilson is a two year old black and white visible roan male. Because he is a roan, he should never be bred, because he carries a gene that can result in a lethal pig (no teeth, blind, death, and may not survive a day or two birth. "Healthy" lethals are completely dependent upon their caregivers for life). Intentional br33ding should never occur due to the overpopulation problem, and because any guinea pig can be an invisible carrier of the roan gene.
Sweetie is an adorable two year old black female guinea girl.
Whiskers is a two year old tricolor abby guinea girl. So cute!
Chutter is a two year old white and black long hair female, who looks like she has some matting. She might need someone with some grooming experience, or willingness to learn.
Coffee is a three year old male with lovely soft guinea ears.
