Bethlehem (Allentown), PA: Two female guinea pigs being rehomed after being temporarily housed with the posters, who took them in after their previous owners were moving. They are well socialized to people and "as sweet as can be."
LISTING REMOVED Strinestown (York), PA: An 8 month old male crested guinea pig named Camo being rehomed due to lack of time. "Very sweet...loves to sit on your lap and watch T.V. with you!" He comes with his cage (too small, try
Cheaper, Better Cages), Timothy hay, a half bag of food, a food bowl, water bottle, cage liners, and a
GUINEA NO NO:

Proper Diet .
Harrisburg, PA: Three guinea pigs being rehomed with cage and shavings (make sure it's not cedar or plain pine) due to lack of time. Two females, one male (
PREGNANCY WATCH). This is part of an ad selling a lot of household items.
GUINEA PIG LESSON: Adopt them with the air conditioner! Guinea pigs are very vulnerable to heatstroke. They should never be kept outdoors, and if you're too hot, they're definitely too hot.
North East Erie, PA: Two bonded 1.5 y.o. male guinea pigs being rehomed with their cage, water bottles, house, food dish, and these items on the
GUINEA NO-LIST: leashes, harnesses, and timothy hay wheel (too much work for the pigs to get their hay). Look how adorable these boys are!
Pittsburgh, PA: One y.o. male guinea pig (brown and white) being rehomed due to change in situation. Well socialized and loves floor time. Comes with play pen. Photos by request. Poster wishes for guinea pig to go to caring and devoted home. (I wish that for all my AAGP babies!)
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
