adoption

I will be completely honest I almost impulsed adopted my pigs. I was in a bad place and I heard that guinea pigs could good emotional support animals so I instantly was like I want one. I am so thankful for my mother stepping in and making me wait a month and to research more about guinea...

Does anyone have recommendations for apps to find Guinea pigs in need of rehousing? For all my previous pigs I have used apps like gumtree etc to collect pigs that people didn’t want or couldn’t keep anymore. I am looking for 3 or 2 bonded sows as I have recently lost both my boars. Thank you!

I’m getting another female for the one I already have, and I need tips with bonding. I’ve watched videos on guinea pig bondings on little adventures and AlyssanPets, but I don’t know how my guinea pig will react as sadly shes been alone most of her life. Is there any way I can prepare my guinea...

Hi there, I own 2 piggies - Minnie and Ozzy, a female and neutered male siblings (4yrs). Their mum died a few months ago sadly, and since then I've thought about getting them a friend to bring them back to a group again. Unfortunately, a recent health scare with Ozzy has given me a push to...

This is gonna be a lengthy thread but I’m lost and need some guidance. Yesterday afternoon, I made the decision to adopt 2 female Guinea pigs. I had been doing research for quite some time while I had a hamster. My hamster just recently passed due to old age and I decided instead of getting...

Hi, Sadly our Seth passed away not long before Christmas. He was almost 7 and we like to think he had a good life :) Now, we're hoping to rehome a pair of pigs in the next few months, but unsure where to look. Can anyone recommend rescue/rehoming centres in Central Scotland? We're...

Hi, my heart breaks to say that S’mores passed away a week ago, Sunday. I knew his life was coming to an end, he battled a unidentified illness for almost a year and I am relieved he is in a better place now. S’mores cagemate, Pockets is now alone. He is doing well still eating and drinking...

We adopted a guineapig and she ended up pregnant with a little boy. So we are attempting to find a bond for him. We neutered him and turns out he is clearly has only child syndrome and seems to be pretty opinionated. He got along with all but one girl and bullied her to the point he needed...

Hello, fellow piggie worshippers, I'm super excited to be joining this forum! I am a proud guinea pig parent of 3 beautiful girls. I was curious if someone could help me out on deciding whether or not it's a good idea to add a boar to the group. Their names are Flower (medium-sized Abyssinian...

Hello everyone. Recently, one of my beloved sows passed away very suddenly. Her companions, who are both quite young (<6 months) were as distraught as I was. I checked everywhere for a sow needing a home in order to help with the bereavement, but none of the rescues in my province had any pigs...

Hi there! I'm new to the forums and really need to find people that understand my anger right now. Recently, within the last month or so, I've adopted a guinea pig from a new friend. I won't go too into detail to remain anonymous. He's around a year and a half out and a very sweet, but very...

Hello everyone, I am incredibly thrilled to adopt my first guinea pigs! Although I haven't owned cavies yet, I've done quite a bit of research and feel as ready as I'll ever be. My only question is this: I would love to rehome a lone boar from CL, neuter him, than place him with a pair of one...

Hi :) A little backstory first... Last year I adopted 2 baby guinea pigs, unfortunately several months later one of them passed away and we were left with 1. So we bought another guinea pig to keep him company. Just as of yesterday, the 2nd guinea pig that we bought passed away suddenly and now...

Hey everyone, so this is my first post so bare with me if I posted in the wrong section. So I already have two boars, Mr. Waffles and Pollo, and I bought them both at a pet store. I didn't know any better, at that point, I didn't even know you could adopt or rescue a guinea pig, much less...

I have a new update! So I found a rescue and it is 4 hours away from my home. I can’t drive yet but we will be in that city in April for a horse expo. So if Gus is stilling doing ok in the next 2 and 1/2 months and everything works out with the rescue I may be adopting a friend for Gus which...

Hello, recently I had a guinea pig pass away leaving his cage mate Gus all alone. Gus has been handling it very well and the only behavioral change is that his a bit more skidish than normal. But none the less I will definitely be getting Gus a new buddy. The only problem is my nearest rescue...

I live in Georgia.I have a 1 year old male piggy.I have been looking for a partner for him.I CANT FIND ONE ANYWHERE!Any advise or links to adoptable piggies?

Today is Lola-Jean's birthday! Well, it's a celebration of the day I got her :P She a little pocket-rocket, full of business and energy! Constantly chatting to her brother Sunny, or anyone who'll listen, the loudest of wheekers and a fearless little explorer who (I discovered quite early on)...

Over the weekend a tragic accident resulted in the very tough decision to have one of my fur babies put to sleep to end his suffering. The whole day was very emotional, unusual and difficult for me but also for my other guinea pig - his brother and cage mate of 2 years. I have been monitoring...

Hi y'all, I recently have been planning to adopt a guinea from Petsmart. For those who don't know how this works, usually Petsmart will give up their pets for adoption for free, if they are no longer resell-able. The little ones may be ill or they were returned from previous owners. In my case...
