LISTING REMOVED Middle River, MD: Three guinea girls being rehomed because of move. The mother daughter pair (tan white and black "mixed like salt and pepper with tan" (might be roaning=especially don't breed (never breed), could create blind, deaf guinea pigs without teeth) are bonded and have to stay together, the third pig (pictured) does not like other pigs and so can go alone. See the ad for more information on daily diet and bedding details, as well as information on hair maintenance and rehoming fees.

LISTING REMOVED Highland Springs, VA: Daughter lost interest in guinea pig that resembles "Pee Wee" from "Pee Wee and Plush," (the reference is lost on me). Described as "he talks to you and he is so cute, he is solid rust color." The mother is the one giving him attention now, and why set that example for the child! Reasonable rehoming fee includes the cage and food.

Keep this story and the hundreds other just like it posted weekly on CL in mind when adopting a pet for your kids. You can't rehome the kids, so what are you going to do with the 8 year life span guinea pig when your son has a three month attention span?
