PA-Lycoming County SPCA-Cutest baby male

Lyoming County SPCA; Williamsport, PA: Gunther!

Gunther is a small baby medium haired male. He is a carrier of the roan gene, and so he should never be used for br33ding, as he can create blind, deaf, and toothless babies known as lethals. This blog is against the purposeful br33ding of any guinea pigs due to the overwhelming homeless population problem. Click on the links for more information. He is a FAVORITE GUINEA PIG!

Patches the Piggie is a beautiful, friendly three year old abby female. She was actually brought in with Nobikko and they come with separate cages. GUINEA PIG LESSON: PtP is being housed on a wire cage, so I've got to give my bumblefoot warning. Always house your guinea pig on a smooth-bottomed cage to protect their feet.
