VA-Virginia Beach SPCA-Romancing the Guinea Pig (Corazon!)

Virginia Beach SPCA, VA: LISTING REMOVED. Corazon!



Corazon (meaning "heart" in Spanish), is a 3 month old male. He was surrendered because of reasons related to his owners' landlord. He has experience with kids, but his experience with dogs and cats is unknown. He has smooth black/brown fur.

GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs should not be housed on wire floors as Corazon is in the picture, because it can lead to a very painful condition known as bumblefoot.

LISTING REMOVED. Leesburg, VA: Female pig about one year old being rehomed because owners moving cross country. (If you find yourself in the same position and don't want to part with your pig--fly Delta--they'll let your pig fly with you carry on). Reasonable fee for pig. Unreasonable fee for extras because sadly they are all basically poison for the pig. I'll quote from the ad and red what's toxic for the pig but what pet stores sell anyway for a profit.

"Asking $10 for our extras: Extras we have include remainder of one bag of LM Animal Farms Bananza Bounty Buffet Gourmet Guinea Pig Diet Food , 1 package of Vitakraft nibble rings , 2 packages of yogurt drops , one or multiple cages , toys ( 1 "Super Pet" bell toy and 1 carrot shaped rope wrap chew toy, one small bag of hay , purple hard plastic "Super Pets" house, green "Gravity Bin" feeder, "Lixit" plastic hanging water bottle, Super Pet Clean Cage Safe Deodorizer spray, Marshall Bi-Odor Deodorizer spray ..."

Then after that the cages are too small. The posters are well intentioned of course, it's just pet stores that are vile. Poor girly.
