MD/VA/DC-Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue-Three new pigs + my heart breaking

Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue-MD/VA/DC: ADOPTED! Gypsy, ADOPTED! Rollo, and ADOPTED! Corduroy!

Well, here's the thing. Gypsy and Rollo were my foster pigs for five months and I love them. They are the best pigs in the whole wide world and they are bonded. I'm going to just go ahead and copy the MGPR provided bios because it's just too hard!


Gypsy is an absolutely beautiful piggy with a tame personality to match. She is bonded with her daughter Rollo, and they must be adopted together. Gypsy loves to popcorn around the floor during floortime, but will also sit in your lap like a kitten letting you pet her for hours.

Rollo is a burst full of energy! She is bonded with her mother, Gypsy, and they must be adopted together. Rollo has recently learned to love laptime and being pet, but her old favorite will always popcorning around wildly during floortime. Second to meals of course! Rollo is five months old.


ADOPTED! Corduroy is a very happy, rambunctious piggy in a fuzzy coat. Don't let her sweet smile fool you, she loves to run around and fuss when the 'fridge opens. She adores lettuce and red peppers. She hopes that you will fall in love with her and pair her up with a nice and happy buddy. (She is a piggy that likes to be bossy, so she hopes that she finds someone that can put up with her antics.)

LISTING REMOVED. Leesburg, VA: Female pig about one year old being rehomed because owners moving cross country. (If you find yourself in the same position and don't want to part with your pig--fly Delta--they'll let your pig fly with you carry on). Reasonable fee for pig. Unreasonable fee for extras because sadly they are all basically poison for the pig. I'll quote from the ad and red what's toxic for the pig but what pet stores sell anyway for a profit.

"Asking $10 for our extras: Extras we have include remainder of one bag of LM Animal Farms Bananza Bounty Buffet Gourmet Guinea Pig Diet Food , 1 package of Vitakraft nibble rings , 2 packages of yogurt drops , one or multiple cages , toys ( 1 "Super Pet" bell toy and 1 carrot shaped rope wrap chew toy, one small bag of hay , purple hard plastic "Super Pets" house, green "Gravity Bin" feeder, "Lixit" plastic hanging water bottle, Super Pet Clean Cage Safe Deodorizer spray, Marshall Bi-Odor Deodorizer spray ..."

Then after that the cages are too small. The posters are well intentioned of course, it's just pet stores that are vile. Poor girly.
