Fairfax City, VA: 2.5 y.o. lovable male guinea pig (Ron) being rehomed due to an aggressive dog. Comes with cage and supplies.
Hampton, VA: Poster purchased guinea pigs from pet store two months ago and is now moving and is rehoming pigs. They come with a too small cage, pigloos, a water bottle, food dish, chew toy, hay, food, leftover bedding, and vitamin C drops which should NOT go in the water--they aren't water soluble, meaning they stop working after 5 minutes and just make the water taste bad. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs from petstores frequently suffer from mites, URIs, are missexed, and may be pregnant. These are listed as females, but double checking the sex is a good idea.
South Riding Chantilly, VA: Two 2 y.o. male guinea pigs being rehomed due to life style change. "Quite animated...playful," vocal, used to children (but guinea pigs should always have parents as the primary care givers, and prepared to be the sole caregivers). Come with their food, cage, pigloo, "snuggle pouch," hutch and bedding available at time.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
