Northern Virginia: 14 week old female guinea pig being rehomed because of too many pets (dog). Guinea pig is brown and white with red eyes, has experience with children and is good with being held. Comes with inappropriate cage (try Cheaper, Better Cages), two bags of bedding, A WHEEL (NEVER USE), food, toys, snacks and grass (should have unlimited hay).

Alexandria/Huntington, VA: Two guinea pigs (Boy or Girl? )being rehomed because their owners are moving overseas for military reasons. Guinea pigs "are super friendly, but a bit shy at first." Can adjust to kids with time. Come with nail trimmers, cage, pigloos, water bottles and food trays. Pics by request. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Don't put vitamins in the water, they're not water soluble so they stop working after about five minutes and then they just make the water taste bad, leading to reduced water consumption.
