Guinea Pig Anyone?

[Twitterbait]

I am considering giving away one or two of my piggies. Anyone interested in a guinea pig please let me know. My fiancee is kinda attached so we will need to make sure they go to a good home. Drop me a PM if interested. the pig is male copper color.

I am not interested but I may have a teacher at school that would like to have one in the classroom, I can ask tomorrow.

My brother in law is from Equador and he claims them to be slightly greasy. Personally I would be willing to try it if I ever go down to South America. Only think is, I will definately have to know that it wasn't some poor kids pet lol.

It's food down there, not a pet.

Pm sent. How could you eat these? I had one when I was growing up, and I swear they are only full of pooh! Cause that's all he did:)

Not for the faint of heart/squeamish/guinea pig pet owners.

lol, i think eating them is funny, but my fiancee would not be remotely happy. Nah, these guys need a good home with not other threatening pets like cats or anything.

or reptiles....dont forget the reptiles. I have "owned" dozens of GP's. when I had my snakes I wasn't allowed to mention Guinea pig and feeder in the same sentance. My wife I am sure is happy I no longer have snakes.

here is a shot of all of them.

Good looking cuy ya got there.(hungry)

[CA2OR]

They are pretty cute. I used to have to avoid looking at them because if I did they were going to live. Now I find it hard to believe that I used to feed these, and other cute fuzzy critters to my snakes.

I have kept many Guinea Pigs over the years... and I do like them(as pets).
Probably the strangest Guinea Pig-like animal I have cared for was a long-legged, web-footed animal called a Capybara. http://www.rebsig.com/capybara/ It was young, and only about 10 pounds or so at the time. What could be cooler that taking your 160 pound Guinea Pig for a walk? I'm sure dogs and cats would give him a lot of space.(laugh)

I'm sure you will find suitable home(s) for your pets. They make great pets for kids, and will always let you know when it's feeding time! It is very important to feed them Guinea Pig Pellets, not Rabbit Pellets. They need their Vitamin C!

ok, for sure i have 2 up for giving away. the big guy on the left and the small guy in the middle. these can go together (preferred) or apart. we are keeping mommy and the runt of the litter. these two get along when mommy is not around.

[Twitterbait]

Ok folks, one pig has gone to a good home. One left to go, any takers?

[pantherguy30]

Mr Gizmo has settled in nicely into his new home. I wanted to say thank you again Ryan. I'll be sure to send you two some pics from time to time.

[Twitterbait]

great to hear. Please feel free to send pics anytime. his mommy will be happy to see them.

[Twitterbait]

ok, how can anyone resist this cute little face?

this guy needs a good home, any takers?
