LISTING REMOVED Chambersburg, PA: YARD SALE GUINEA PIG ON 6/28 SATURDAY. As I said with our last yard sale guinea pig, this is just setting up for a disastrous impulse buy. "guinea pig with everything included." 81 to Wayne Ave exit, right on Wayne Ave., Sheetz on Left--click on link for continuation of directions.

Do me a favor, dear reader, if you are near this neighborhood but aren't able to save the guinea pig yourself, could you print out and place a GuineaLynx Care Guide near the cage (with permission)? And make sure s/he's not out in the sun? If the guinea pig is, try and convince the owners to put him inside, perhaps with a sign saying there's a guinea pig indoors. Failing that, move piggy into the shade.

Watertown, NY: Female guinea pig being rehomed due to failed pairing, "friendly and handable and loves treats." Poster attempted to pair her with a rabbit.
