Does anyone want 3 male guinea pigs, all brothers and cage with 1kg bag of food? If you live near nottinghamshire? or want to travel :P, or anybody want 2 chicken and chicken coop!

There both my mums, which she is selling! :) ,in good condition they are teddy guineas!
 
Hi there. The best thing you can do for your guinea pigs is to hand them into a rescue. That way you can be sure they will be well cared for and any homes found for them will be vetted. I think some rescues take in chickens too.
 
You may get more responses if you post in the Rescue & Rehoming section - there's also one for Other Animals. The forum does not allow the selling of animals though, only rehoming.

Ive mentioned that to my mum and she wants that as last resort , wants to see if anyone wants them first, asshes got cage etc! , and they apparently gave mum some sort of lecture when we took our dog to a rescue center years back! , only because he was aggressive :(
 
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I think your family should reconsider its attitude to animals.

You got a dog, then got rid of the dog. You got chickens and guinea pigs, now want to get rid of them.

Animals should be a life-long responsibility, not a short term amusement to sell on when you get tired of them. I can't help wondering whether the rescue were right to give your mum a lecture.
 
We took our dog there as he was a jack russel cross with a bull dog, and was very aggressive and attacked all us children and our other jack russel, so we were told the best thing to do was give him on so he could have just 1 owner not a family as he wasnt a family dog more of a hunting dog etc, so that is why we took him there.

And my mum had guinea pigs years ago and she looked after them for years, and we had loads and the only reason we sold all of them was because my grandad passed away and he was the only one who would look after them when we went on holiday or away for weekend.


By the way we have 2 dogs now and they happy as they are and dont get neglected we've had lots of pets over the years and do know how to care for the.
so i think its unfair you commenting that when you don't know the full story.
 
ohh I wasn't sure ! Didn't know! wupsy sorry ! Doesn't matter now anyway! Thank you though :)
 
harsh as the post was, passing on aggressive dog problems is sadly all far too common, if he was that aggressive then pts should have been the best course of action. Far too many people think their problem pets can live the rest of their lives out on a farm somewhere where no people go and all life is sunny and great. There is no such place and the reality is if the rescue had space and the time and money to fix the issue, the dog may have managed to be rehomed to a place where someone was prepared to put in the years of hard work to keep the dog from the needle.

There are far too many lovely dogs in pounds and rescue centers, of all breeds in the whole country, even the calm and sweet natured dogs end up pts as there is no homes, no space and places are FULL. In truth the dog was probably pts and judged far too risky to rehome as it was known to be a biter - a certain death sentence to any dog, much better to concentrate on the nice dogs that can be rehomed during times of little to no homes.

This is the reality of dog rescue and I am not surprised your mum was given a lecture for handing over an aggressive dog.

I hope you find someone to take on the piggies and chickens
 
He never bit us, he was aggressive but never actually drawn blood with us , but wasn't fair on keeping him when him and our other dog fort, the reason he was passed on was because he was only agrressive around noise and fuss , if that makes sense, there was 6 of us kids, and i think he'd of been better off as a 1 man dog, but i see what you mean about that but i dont think he will have ever attacked any one else aggresively ,and i hope he hasn't been out down he was a lovely dog , he was really good with my dad , he followed everything he said , never got aggressive , so thats why we thought of giving him the chance with one owner
 
I wont get into the whys and whats of dog aggression as this is about finding homes for the pigs, but the last thing I will say on the dog matter is aggression to any rescue = huge potential risk to any future home, a very serious issue indeed and if easier to home dogs are being pts because lack of space, sadly ones with issues are first on the list to go before the friendlier ones.

I am sorry your mum is having to rehome her pigs, its not an easy decision and I really do hope you manage to find someone to love them as much as she has.
 
Why is your mum wanting rid of her chickens and guineapigs? If its due to holidays then surely there is a someone who could care for them for you or a pet sitting service near *? No offence but if ** grandad was elderly and ** mum relyed on him for pet care then why get more pets its obvious your grAndad won't be Around forever and I don't no about chickens but pigs can live up to 8-9 years old. In future ask ** mum to think more carefully about the long commitment an animal is and * have to think of things such as your main pet carer no longer being around etc. I no I have the choice of 3 people to have my dogs n pig I'd never give them up for the sake of a holiday
 
noo I'm able to look after them like she did mine when we went away :) , but no its because my younger sister said shed also look after the piggys but she hasnt , unsure why! , my grandad died 10 years ago, and it would of cost so much for them to go to like a sitting place with that many guineas, could afford to have them but not to have them go to a sitting place if we went away, my parents are definitely not having animals 'cause of holidays, we have dogs for years and theyve been with us on holiday and so have the guineas some times when we were younge! which they loved as they was lots of grass for them!
 
oh and mum didnt get guinea pigs until this year like month after me , june, knowing that id be able to look after them!,
