Frederick, MD: Two bonded female guinea pigs being rehomed due to lack of interest by child. Have been seen by vet, ruled healthy. Come with cage, water bottle, bag of food and bag of hay. Do need some help with socialization, but all this requires is patience.


Columbia (Baltimore), MD: Guinea pig Boy or Girl? being rehomed due to allergies, comes with cage, food, water bottle, hay and snacks (double check if the snacks are okay on Guinea Lynx; often snacks marketed toward guinea pigs are actually choking hazards/toxic).

Baltimore City, MD
: Two female guinea pigs, approximately 14 months old, being rehomed due to lack of attention. Come with all accessories. Must be adopted together because they are bonded sisters.

Parkville (Baltimore), MD

VA-Craigslist-Richmond/Norfolk/ Fredericksburg


*If responding to an ad by an individual, meet in a public place

ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

Mechanicsville (Richmond), VA
: Two male guinea pigs being rehomed due to son losing interest. Very sweet, used to being handled. Pics available by request. Come with cage, food, water bottle, extra cage, bedding, and other accessories.

Forest Hill Park (Richmond), VA
: Poster found a cage abandonded in Forest Hill Park with two guinea pigs inside and brought the pigs home. Only one pig survived, but thrived! and is now a healthy, happy and pudgy girl named Bunny. She does not get enough attention in her present home, and so the poster has decided to rehome her. Here's the catch, they're not sure whether Bunny is actually a girl. And since Bunny was housed with another pig, she may actually be pregnant. Ooch! You know the links: PREGNANCY WATCH Boy or Girl?

Virginia Beach (Norfolk), VA
: Three males and four females being rehomed due to allergies. Come with cages (too small, try Cheaper, Better Cages). Adopt them in same sex pairs, as they get along well with each other. Oldest is 1.5 years old. If anyone has info that this may be a br33der listing, please let me know and I will promptly remove it.



Fredericksburg (NoVA)
: Franklin is a male guinea pig, less than one year old, being rehomed because his family found two guinea pigs to be too much work (as compared to one). I have actually found the opposite to be true. Guinea pigs also are incredibly social creatures, and really rely on having a friend. Here's a great link for more info: Guinea Pigs need a friend! Social Interaction. He comes with his cage (too small, try Cheaper, Better Cages), food dish and water bottle.



Kempsville (Norfolk), VA: Two 5 m.o. female guinea pigs being rehomed due to allergies. Lovable and playful, bonded and so must be adopted together. One is a longhair, the other looks like she might be a texel mix? A rather high adoption fee (poster is attempting to recoup costs) includes accessories. Still, don't forget the essential: Cheaper, Better Cage

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.

Newport News (Norfolk), VA: 1 y.o. female guinea pig being rehomed after only recently being adopted from another Craigslister. Guinea pigs need time to adjust in their new home. "She seems really really scared for some reason she runs when you try to grab her and hold her." This is very typical of guinea pigs. "She will let you pet her if you are easy with her." She doesn't come with a cage, why not get a Cheaper, Better Cage? Read the listing for more details. Marking this girl as special needs, after being moved around so much she deserves a guinea pig experienced home or one willing to learn.

LISTING REMOVED Scottsville (Charlottesville), VA: 3 y.o. mother and daughter pair being rehomed due to move. "Very, very docile and friendly." One guinea pig pictured, the other looks similar except for two white feet.

VA-Craigslist-Fairfax/ South Riding Chantilly

ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

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.

Woodbridge, VA: Two 2 y.o. female guinea pigs being rehomed, transportation available. One is a tricolor medium length hair with a crest, the other is a tricolor shorthair crested. The crested is the more outgoing and affectionate of the two, while the one with the wilder of the hair is a bit shyer due to a a bad experience with a dog. Sounds like they should be in a people only home! They come with their cage (try Cheaper, Larger Cages) and food. They win a FAVORITE GUINEA PIG award.
