Westchester, NY: Two 1 y.o. sisters being rehomed due to child's asthma. Come with food, timothy hay, two water bottles, bedding, food dishes, and two cages. The cages are being marketed as one for indoors and outdoors. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs cannot be housed outdoors! They are very vulnerable to heatstroke, and there is no guarantee that predators won't be able to get into the cage. See some very compelling reasons for INDOOR HOUSING on this page from Guinea Lynx.

Massapequa Park (Long Island), NY: 2 y.o. friendly male guinea pig ("Mortimer") being rehomed due to too many pets, baby, lack of attention.

* AAGP recommends quarantining any new guinea pigs

for 2-3 weeks and confirming the sex yourself.

Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
