I was just having a browse on Preloved last night and sent a message to a man over 2 female guinea pigs!
Got a reply back saying that the two female where sold but has 2 more but they are heavy pregnant, so he would have to ask for more money!
So I reply back saying what colour they are? And how much more are you asking for?
So his reply was £100 for the both of them cause they have big litters!
I was actually shocked at this, just selling them for them money totally disgusting!
Wish I could take them off him so I know that they will be going to a good home!
Is beige like a cream colour?
 
beige is similar to cream but with a brown hint he obviously doesn't care enough about the pigs if he's rehoming them pregnant
 
Goodness me :(

I remember last year i contacted a preloved member, up the road from me. Selling five female pigs and two boars all mixed in a double PAH hutch, females possibly pregnant.

I gave them a list of good rescues, and offered to take the pigs myself (and hand them to a rescue) but ohhh no. They wanted £300 for the pigs and hutch, and weren't going to go to a rescue. Anywhoos the ad was taken down after a week but i never found out what happened to the fate of the piggles :(

£300 :O
I've learnt from this forum not to breed guinea pigs and I thank everyone for that, but breeding them for money is just not on!
The poor guinea pigs gunna be exhausted!
That's what I was thinking of doing getting them and giving them to a rescue, wonder whether he would bring the price down?
Doubt he will like :(

I know, it's all about the money now a days not about the welfare about the guinea pigs
 
What a disgusting man! He clearly does not care for the poor pigs. He will not find anybody willing to pay that much as that is just a silly price.
 
So after thinking about the two pregnant guinea pigs all the time, I got back in touch with the fella again!
I was trying to get him to reduce the price to maybe £30 but he wanted £50.
He messaged me today to say that one of them has given birth to 4 guinea pigs and the other should have them today!
So I said are you still selling them?
He said he doesn't know as he can get £15 for each of the guinea pigs but he will let me know!
Why is it all to do with money making? And not the piggie's welfare? :(
 
That's horrible. Those poor piggies. It sounds like hes planning to sell them really young too!

Someone might buy them for snake food being so young or end up breeding them.

I hope the piggies end up in a good life. :(

I know, I was thinking that aswell!
If I bought them off him, I would care for them then give them to a rescue so I know they are being cared for well :)
 
Yeah I would too if it were me.

I really worry about the poor babies and mummy. I think he has no qualms taking them away too young. :(
 
I worry about all of them but seeing as the babies really need mummy :(

Maybe try haggle with him a bit more?

I just worry though that he will sell them off quickly to someone else.

The problem is if you buy them it will encourage him to get more pigs to sell. It's a no win situation. :(

He said he just wants them gone that was before they had the babies!
He's got a male that he wanted me to have aswell but I said no I just wanted the females!
He said that he's got a new job and a puppy so he ain't really got time for them

He said he's gunna get back to me over the mummies and babies!
 
Tell him younknownpeople who may be interested in the babies and will pay what he's asking. Get his address a report him to the council for illigal breeding the RSPCA to

What a vile cretin

He says that, but I have my doubts. People can become greedy really fast.
 
people make me sick, he wants them gone because he doesnt have time to care for them, then surely you wouldnt be bothered how much money you would get for them just that they were well looked after and cared for silly silly man pow-pow
