VA-Fairfax County Animal Services-Two ADORABLE pigs unknown sex/age

Fairfax County Animal Services; Fairfax, VA: Snickers and Reese!

LISTING REMOVED Snickers:

update new picture:



Reese: Does this guinea pig look familiar to any long time readers? I feel like I have featured him or her before. Also, this guinea pig should never be bred because it carries the dangerous roan gene and could create a lethal pup (though this blog is against intentional br33ding of any guinea pig because of the overwhelming homeless population and dangers it poses to the animal).

* 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. *
