LISTING REMOVED. Penfield (near Rochester), NY: Guinea pig (age, sex unspecified), cage, food, food bowls, pigloo, water bottle with holder, and various toys and treats.

LISTING REMOVED. Inwood/Washington Hts, NY: Young male guinea pig available for adoption, comes with cage, water bottle, bowl and food.

LISTING REMOVED. Ontario, NY: Two female guinea pigs being rehomed due to too many pets. Must be adopted together. For additional fee they come with one of the larger Marchioro cages and all their things. They're used to kids and being handled, but they are nibblers--might be good for an adults only home, or one with only older children. A younger male is also being rehomed, though without a cage. This suggests a PREGNANCY WATCH.

New Ringgold, PA: Elvis is a white/orange piggie who was rescued from a herd at a farm (I get so sad when I hear about things like this). He lost his cagemate somewhat recently, and so the poor guy is all alone. He comes with a 2X2 cage (which will be great for quarantining, but 2X3 is best for a single pig, and 2X4 is the minimum for two pigs), his water bottle, and any food or hay the owner has left. He is a very sweet piggie who never bites, and loves his carrots.

LISTING REMOVED. Utica, NY: Two six month females (one white, one cinnamon in female), one four month old male (calico). Sweet, friendly, and shy as typical to guinea pigs. Male is most outgoing of the three. If they have been housed together, do a pregnancy watch.


LISTING REMOVED. Hudson Valley, NY: Unsexed guinea pig (Boy or Girl?) is friendly, gentle, and loves to be handfed. Two years old. Reasonable rehoming fee, comes with her cage, water bottle, hidey home, and extra food. Email with any questions.


LISTING REMOVED. Long Island, NY: GUINEA PIG LESSON: GUINEA PIGS ARE NOT GOOD CLASSROOM PETS! Who pays the vet bills? What about the kids with allergies? Where does the pig go on the weekends? This misconception is out like wedge heels. On to the pigs. Male is one year old. Female is one and a half years old. Both are socialized to people after being rescued from tragic situations by the poster, who rehabilitated them and spoiled them like they deserve. The pigs are sweet and have great personalities. Email for more information.

LISTING REMOVED. Long Island, NY: Two year old black guinea pig being rehomed. Very friendly, loves people, dogs and cats. Has been with current owner since two months of age. Comes with cage, water bottle, food and hay all for small rehoming fee.

LISTING REMOVED. Syracuse, NY: Four month old very cute, friendly guinea pig comes with cage, water bottle, food plate, toys, food, and some bedding. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Albinos are incredibly rare. A white guinea pig with pink eyes is actually quite common, and known as a "Pink-Eyed-White" or PEW.


LISTING REMOVED. Penfield (near Rochester), NY: PREGNANCY ALERT. Three guinea pigs being rehomed, no sex specified, all under a year old. Need to be rehomed urgently due to allergies. They come with one cage that according to the poster they all fit in (you may need this link: Cheaper, Larger Cages), two water bottles (should have one for each pig), one pigloo (sh0uld have one for each pig), one pound of food, 3/4ths of a bag of bedding, one ball (if this is an exercise ball, they are potentially fatal=can break spine and bones in feet).

LISTING REMOVED. Mt. Hope (near Rochester), NY: An example of why not to give guinea pigs as a gift: "My boyfriend got me 2 guinea pigs for Valentine's Day, and while I love them dearly, I cannot keep them any longer. My allergies are out of control. They do not get the love they deserve because holding them or even being in the same room as them makes me feel terrible." Two three month old tricolor abbys (punky hair), one has one black leg, the other has blue eyes. They are both very beautiful and very bonded. For a reasonable rehoming fee they come with their litter box, Carefresh litter, food, food bowls, pigloo, water bottle with holder, various toys and treats, and a C&C cage. This person did it right folks--this is a great starter set-up. The present owner does not want a child to be the primary care giver.
