PA-Bucks County SPCA-1 y.o. male

Bucks County, SPCA; Lahaska, PA: LISTING REMOVED Jasper!

Jasper is a one year old male who is friendly and used to being handly. And he's gorgeous!



GUINEA PIG LESSON: Jasper has a very beautiful element to his fur called roaning. One of many reasons why I'm against br33ding (and why this blog does not support br33ding), is because if a roan pig is br3d with with a roan pig (or if a dal pig, another br33d, is br3d with a dal pig), there is a one in four chance a lethal pig will be born. Lethal pigs are very, very special needs, if they live more than a few days. Please don't ever br33d your pigs, as there is a high chance of fatality for the mother. But if you have a pig with white fur and some black spots (a dal pig), or markings such as Satch, please, please don't br33d them. Your pig may create a blind, deaf pig with no teeth who relies on you for care. And with so many hundreds of homeless pigs, why br33d in the first place?

R E S C U E C R I S I S
can you help??

Over 50 guinea pigs were dumped by a br33der at a local Cheektowaga/ Buffalo business. One female is nursing, seven are pregnant. Life Long Tails is caring for the mom and moms-to-be, but they don't have room for the rest, they are operating with limited resources. The business is only able to house the rest of the guinea pigs for a short period of time.

If the guinea pigs can't find homes they have to go to a kill shelter.

Contact information for Life Long Tails at this page: here.

DONATION INFORMATION here. Even five dollars will make a huge difference. Life Long Tails funds the vet bills of their fosterers, so if they are able to find foster homes for 50 guinea pigs coming from a crisis situation, they will really need help.

UPDATE: one of the adoptable piggies! ADOPTED! Sebastian is a small adult male, who is nervous and skittish coming from the crisis case. He needs some serious loving and spoiling!

And so does Link!


So does Banjo! Look at his white beard and toupee--he's a wonderful pig.

Doodle does too!

And special needs Monty.

Don't forget Mitch!

NY-Craigslist-Astoria 2 y.o. guinea pig

*If responding to an ad by an individual, 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 Astoria, NY: Two year old guinea pig (referred to as "he" and "it" going to link to Boy or Girl?) being rehomed due to move. "He loves to play and likes company." Comes with a too small cage (Cheaper, Larger Cages), new bag of food (shouldn't have any colored pieces, seeds, or corn), bedding, water bottle, food bowl.



GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs absolutely need an UNLIMITED quantity of high quality of hay, such as Oxbow or Kleenmama's (Kaytee's is often inferior quality--try your local feed store, though it's a gamble). It is necessary to wear down their constantly growing teeth and to help aid their digestive processes. Remember, not just as a treat, but unlimited hay is the way to go! ALSO-whatever Bedding you choose (not cedar or plain pine), there should be about an inch of it covering the cage bottom. ALSO-They need a place to hide, like an igloo or pigloo. They're prey animals and so they need to feel safe. You can also provide a towel tent. Learn more by reading the Guinea Lynx General Care Guide.

PA-PAWS Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society-ten guinea pigs, all ages

Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society; Philadelphia, PA: LISTING REMOVED Ten guinea pigs!

From the craigslist posting: "Hello my name is Jackie and I am a volunteer for PAWS. The shelter has around 10 guinea pigs that were surrendered to the shelter the other day by some crazy lady. I think she let them br33d and everything. There are babies and adults and the shelter is very loud and not a nice place for piggies. If you're think of buying a guinea pig PLEASE adopt one from Paws instead!"

GUINEA PIG LESSON: Don't forget to check whether your guinea pig is a Boy or Girl. And any female guinea pigs should still be on a PREGNANCY WATCH. As for the babies, remember that boy guinea pigs are sexually fertile at 21 days, and girl guinea pigs can be impregnated at 28 days. The gestation period is 59-73 days. Only until 74 days has passed do you know for a fact that you're out of the clear.
