VA-Craigslist-Bonded Boars

*If responding to a Craigslist ad meet in a public place, or go with a friend. Google the phone number of the poster to
ensure it matches the name he or she gives *


LISTING REMOVED. Kempsville, VA: Two boars need a new home. Short hair piggies, one white, the other tan. They are very sweet and chirpy boys. Being rehomed because the kids don't pay enough attention to them. Come with a Petsmart cage (too small), a pigloo (should have two), water bottle (should have two), food bowl (should have two), toys, edible log (toxic), treats (research on Guinea Lynx), salt thing (not necessary), as well as new bedding (not cedar or pine-(unless kiln-dried)). Very reasonable rehoming fee, pictures available by request.

* 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. *

VA-GPAN-Adult Sow

LISTING REMOVED (with a rescue). Falls Church, VA: This sounds like a very sad story. Bali is two and a half years old, tan, white and brown. She has a mild mite infestation according to the poster, which should be cleared up in a jiff with a course of ivermectin, I would imagine. She is described as a "beautiful, good natured pig." Unfortunately, the heat/ac no longer is in working order at the poster's home, so this is not a healthy place for the pig. As well, the poster is having some issues with distract from her care taking of the pig. She will come with food, water bottles, and reading material.
