LISTING REMOVED. Syracuse, NY: Petstore guinea pig gave birth to three guinea pigs. One male and two females two and a half months old available for adoption. PREGNANCY ALERT--guinea pigs are sexually fertile at three weeks. The two females (and the mother) are possibly pregnant if they have been housed with the male guinea pig.

Male comes with cage and accessories for reasonable rehoming fee. Very sweet and loves to be cuddled. Females are bonded and must be adopted together. They are very sweet but haven't been cuddled as much as the boy. They are black, white and brown short hairs.

The one with the all black head is male, the other two babies pictured are the females.

LISTING REMOVED Ontario, NY: Two female guinea pigs being rehomed due to too many pets. Eight months old, and very sociable. One is an orange american shorthair, the other is a black and brown american crested. Must be adopted together. Reasonable rehoming fee.

LISTING REMOVED West Islip (on Long Island), NY: Three year old boar comes with a "huge cage" and accessories. The guinea pig is very tame and never bites. Being rehomed because the children have lost interest since the poster got a new pet.

LISTING REMOVED Penfield (near Rochester), NY: Ten month old guinea pig (male) being rehomed, comes with cage and food dish. Very friendly once he gets used to you. Mostly black with a little white and light brown.

LISTING REMOVED Eastern Long Island, NY: "I purchased a guinea pig from a pet store and it had four little babies [. A]ccording to the internet they are old enough to leave the mother at four weeks and they are almost five weeks old now." PREGNANCY ALERT. GUINEA PIG LESSON: It's not a matter of guinea pigs being "old enough" to leave their mom, it's a matter of them HAVING to leave their mothers in order to avoid back br33ding them, and for the babies to avoid br33ding each other. Baby guinea pigs are sexually mature at THREE WEEKS. Most likely the mother guinea pig is pregnant, and there is a high chance any females in the litter are also pregnant, and it will be very difficult for her to deliver these pups. Potential angel work if you take a sow from this litter! (Boy or Girl? )

ANNOUNCEMENT

March is National

Celebrate it by doing just that! Providing you have the resources and preparation to bring a guinea pig (and a friend) into your home--April's okay too :) (It doesn't have to be the cruelest month after all).

Our beautiful guinea model is a beloved guinea girl from GuineaLynx named MeiMei. Her person is a beloved GuineaLynx member named Cutemomomi. MeiMei has passed over the Rainbow Bridge, but she will never be forgotten. If you would like to learn more about the wonderful life MeiMei lived with Cutemomomi, and her wonderful guinea pals, it is chronicled here and here. Thank you Momo for permission to use her dear girl's image.

NJ-North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue-Herd Update

North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue; Budd Lake, NJ: Herd Update!


Due to increased time commitments, I am no longer going to be able to update past entries of some of the larger rescues such as Have-A-Heart and NJGPHR. Once a week or so I will update the herd of the respective rescues.

Adopted! Tina & Adopted! Robby & Adopted! Fernando & Aragorn & Miranda and Bunny & Adopted! Max & Lucy & Bobby & Solomon & Furby & Boris & Whitey and Sylvester & Adopted! Cici and Sammi & Nibbles and Pebbles .


Cici and Sammy are bonded girls who were given up due to to "severe respiratory allergies." Poor people who had to give up these piggies! Cici is eight months old and an orange and white red-eye american/abby mix. Sammi is a four month old black american.



Nibbles and Pebbles are pretty four month old american girls who were surrendered to the rescue because their owners developed skin and respiratory allergies to the piggies. How sad for everyone involved! Nibbles is light brown and white, while Pebbles is dark brown and white, and "they have very silky shiny coats." You can also purchase their almost new 60" by 30" light blue C&C cage from the owner (the rescuer can put you in contact with her).

PA-Judge's Park-Bonded Survivor Sows!

Judge's Park; Edinburg, PA: ADOPTED! Anna and ADOPTED! River!

Anna is in foster care. She was born approximately in June 2007 . "This is one sweet little baby." Anna and cagemate River were found in a box on the edge of a river in the middle of the winter. The poor pair were just left to die, but Judge's Park took them in. Anna is a sweet girl who doesn't mind being picked up at all. The rescue thinks she might be pregnant, and so she is not leaving until she has her babies sometimes around May 15th. JP will be accepting applications for these miracle girls until that time. Anna's eyes do look more white than normal, but they are perfectly healthy--she just looks a bit perpetually surprised!



The rescue thinks that River was born in December 2007, and that she is Anna's daughter. River is calm once you pick her up, but it takes some patience to get her there! She can be skittish and hasn't had handling before then. You've stolen her heart though if you have food. She is very personable though, and food really is the way to her heart. She's a healthy girl who's on pregnancy watch.

LISTING REMOVED. North New Jersey: Um, I kind of love this pig, so if someone winds up adopting her and sees this, can they please let me know and even send a phot-o, if possible? Thankya! She's 1 1/2 years old, and comes with her cage, carrying case, feed, and water bottle for a small rehoming fee. Being rehomed due to move. Guinea girl needs some new food; any food with colored pieces or corn in it isn't suitable for our dear guinea friends. Try Oxbow or Kleenmama's.


GUINEA PIG LESSON on TRANSPORTATION: When transporting your happy new pig from their old home to their new, forever home, a soft carrier like the one pictured isn't the best for a car. Knock on wood, should there be an accident, hard plastic carriers (like those used for cats and dogs) lined with towels for softness offer more security for the pig, assuming they are buckled in. Other tips: give your guinea some hay to make the ride more comfortable, and some water rich vegetables like romaine lettuce. Never hang a water bottle in the carrier because with the bumps in the road the water bottle might leak, and if the guinea is surrounded by wet towels they might catch a URI. Plus you might think your guinea is getting water to drink when it's not the case. Best to bring a water bottle separately and give your new guinea friend water during a driving break.

LISTING REMOVED. South Jersey: Guinea pig, sex and age not specified, comes with cage, toys, "little home," and an exercise ball, these can be fatal for guinea pigs as they can break their spines and bones in their feet.

NJ/NY-GuineaLynx-Two males, one female (need fosters or adopters)

WITH A RESCUE(R)! Northern NJ, NYC Area: Poster received word that some guinea pigs had been abandoned outside in Queens, and saved three baby guinea pigs in an open field where birds and a cat were nearby. All three guinea pigs (two males, one female) are being quarantined, but no one is altered.

The first, larger boy is an abby, and is white with a black face. The second boy is quite small but very vocal, and is a tortie abby/ texel mix (though it's hard to make a completely accurate guess, as his hair is at the baby stages, and his coat is still recuperating from being outside). The only female is a tortie-mostly-black abby.

Everyone is thin with "war wounds on their ears," but the poster says they are "doing very well generally, healthy, happy, and even popcorning, wheeking, and burbling."

I would double check about the fostering--whether that meant you'd be fostering for the poster, or if you already work with a rescue and have an available foster spot open. Angel work folks!
