VA-Virginia Beach SPCA-Even More Pigs

Virginia Beach SPCA, VA: Herd Update!

Photos will be updated as they are added to the VBSPCA site.

LISTING REMOVED. Tony's bio reads as follows: Tony has a lot of personality for such a little guinea pig! his previous owner told us that he loves to listen to the radio and station 90.7 plays his favorite tunes. Tony loves munching on fresh veggies and he absolutely adores parsley! He is one year old with gray and white fur, and has no experience with kids, dogs, or cats.



Momma Pig and Her Babies! as well as a repeat GUINEA PIG LESSON: a repeat on roaning (the special pattern in their fur) and how it relates to guinea pigs:

One of many reasons why I'm against br33ding (and why this blog does not support br33ding), is because if a roan pig is br3d with with a roan pig (or if a dal pig, another br33d, is br3d with a dal pig), there is a one in four chance a lethal pig will be born. Lethal pigs are very, very special needs, if they live more than a few days. Please don't ever br33d your pigs, as there is a high chance of fatality for the mother. But if you have a pig with white fur and some black spots (a dal pig), or the black markings intermittent in fur that constitute roaning, please, please don't br33d them. Your pig may create a blind, deaf pig with no teeth who relies on you for care. And with so many hundreds of homeless pigs, why br33d in the first place? This whole family carries the roan gene and could potentially create a lethal if br3d.

LISTING REMOVED. Princess is a one year old guinea girl who is good with kids.She was surrendered due to landlord reasons.


LISTING REMOVED. Arrow is a three day old female. She has black fur and no experience with dogs. I'm thinking Princess might have had a litter? Read up before bringing home baby guinea pigs, especially on baby proofing the cages so they don't get stuck. I really recommend bringing her home with one of her (same sex) siblings.


LISTING REMOVED. Valentino is a three day old male with brown black fur and unknown experience with dogs and cats.


LISTING REMOVED. Venus is a three day old female with black fur.




LISTING REMOVED. Cupid is a three day old female with black fur.



Bonded Pair

Roxy (Listing Removed) and LISTING REMOVED. Foxy! Roxy is listed as six months+, with short white/black and cream fur. She is not good with cats or dogs, but is good with kids. Foxy is six months+ too, and is a tri colored white and brown pig. She has no experience with kids, dogs, or cats.
