Multiple Postings-NY,NJ,PA-Craigslist

Attempting to catch up:

* If responding to a Craigslist ad meet in a public place, or go with a friend. Google the phone number of the poster to

ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

LISTING REMOVED. Watertown, NY: Guinea pig being given up because, well, I'm not sure. He was a replacement for a guinea pig who passed away and, well, now he's on CL. Comes with cage, food (?), water bottle, and dangerous wheel that he no longer fits into. A good rehoming fee.

LISTING REMOVED. NY, NY: "From one warm and loving family to another" says the ad. Alas, not much information at all. The pig's name is Buddy.

LISTING REMOVED. NY, NY: This ad really frustrates me. I hate this person. Cage comes with guinea pig. Reasonable price (seems more for the cage than the pig).

LISTING REMOVED. Washingtonville, NY: Guinea pig being rehomed because of allergies. Hay, food, cage, water bottle.

LISTING REMOVED. Pittsburgh, PA: Guinea pig comes with cage and water bottle. Go Steelers?

LISTING REMOVED. Palisades Park, NJ: Misinformed guinea pig owner giving up two girls. Oh dear.

NY,NJ,PA-Multiple Listings

LISTING REMOVED. Selden, NY: Pardon my lack of eloquence--stupid awful pet stores, how I hate you. Pet store mis-sexing, lots of babies, not a great rehoming fee, but not awful. Please get them good homes.

LISTING REMOVED. Wayne, NJ: Guinea pig named Peanut saved from neglected home, but is being put on CL for an ok rehoming fee. Poor fellow.

LISTING REMOVED. York (Red Lion), PA: A really sweet girl who has had a tough life. I really feel bad for her. The endorsement "They have a low odor and are easily handled by small children" is sad and misleading (not the odor part).

Double Listing-Craigslist, Lollypop Farm-Multiple Pigs

Sorry for the lack of updates. I will try to manage my time better. I still have a number of links to catch up on.

LISTING REMOVED. NY-Lollypop Farm: One new guinea pig named Theodore, who apparently is a female.

LISTING REMOVED. Bronx, NY: Two pigs being rehomed because of moving (probably to some anti-cavy town--I'm sure it's for their own good). They come with the cage and such. Their environment is very inadequate (no hidey homes, nothing to do, cage too small, and they get their hay through those crummy balls).

LISTING REMOVED. Albion, NY: Well in my last post I remarked how its spelling of "guinea" pig was the strangest I had seen; well, this post has supplanted that one with "guneia". The adoption fee is reasonable for this 7 month old female, although she comes with things I have absolutely never heard of, like "water minerals" (which I assume is liquid vitamin C--a bad supplement for guinea pigs as they drink less water as a result) and "elfa-elfa" (any help here? alfalfa? maybe?).

LISTING REMOVED. Watertown, NY: Two poor male guinea ("gunia" is the strangest spelling I've come across yet) pigs being separated and being sold for a bit too low than would be desired. They have accessories!

LISTING REMOVED. Castleton, NY: Two pigs being rehomed because of allergies. Ad is all in caps, so that must mean ... something. Comes with cage, carrying case (I guess for the CDs), leash (obviously, that's not good at all), and etc. Good rehoming fee.
