Guinea Pigs Need New Home

Minneapolis MN

Description

Sadly, it is time to part with our guinea pig family. They have lived with us for four years and we have had a lot of fun! Originally, we rescued two sister pigs. We then adopted two more, including a male, before realizing that the sisters had, in fact, not been spayed. So we accidentally ended up with quite the family of guinea pigs! We kept two of the babies and had a happy little swarm of 6 pigs for these past four years. But we no longer have the time that they deserve nor can we afford to keep maintaining them. In addition to moving in a couple of weeks, it is time that someone else take them in and give them what they need. We recently bathed them all but they all need a nail trim. They spent most of their lives living on fleece bedding that we simply washed and reused. But ever since moving to an apartment where we have a shared washer, they have been living on disposable puppy pads under disposable paper bedding. They all LOVE eating timothy hay and romaine lettuce along with their guinea pig pellet food. They will eat almost all veggies that you give them but prefer leafy greens and carrots! Please also note that they are all reaching the average age of the life expectancy of 4-7 years old. One of our first 2 pigs recently passed away from old age so we are left with 5. The pigs are: Lamia - Female, 4 years old. Lives in her own 2'x4' Midwest cage because she does NOT get along with other pigs BUT she loves head/nose skritches and is usually the first to run to the side of the cage to see you. She's a SKINNY PIG, meaning that she is almost entirely hairless. I call her a baby hippo but she also kinda looks like an eggplant. She requires rub downs with coconut oil for her skin about once per month - something that she sometimes really loves and sometimes really hates. She can come with her cage, fleece corner, fleece blanket, food dish, water bottle, mini bed, and hay dish for $20. We typically just use a small cardboard box as her house because anything wooden or plastic runs the risk of cutting her skin if she chews on it. Pinny, Ponyo, and Dripeesha are all bonded females and MUST be adopted together. They live in two 2'x4' Midwest cages that are attached with a ramp connector so that they can freely go between the two. They currently only have one wooden house to share because half of their cage is covered to provide a larger hiding space for them. They will come with their 2 water bottles, wooden house, and 2 food dishes. You will also get their ramp cover and large hay bag but those both need to be replaced. $40 Pinny - 5 years old. Mother to Ponyo and the boss of all of them! Ponyo - 3 years old, will be 4 this summer. Dripeesha - 3 years old, will be 4 this summer. The shyest of all of them. Neville - Male, 4 years old. Dad to Ponyo and Dripeesha but lives in his own 2'x4' Midwest cage. He is super curious and funny! Can be adopted by himself. Can come with cage, food dish, water bottle, fleece corner, hay dish, and wooden house (which will need to be replaced) for $20 Or adopt all of them for $50. We really just want to make sure they are going to someone that will love them and has the time and money to care for them. Please email or text me for more photos!
