Hello, I'm Andreea (on-dray-uh) but nobody calls me that unless they're being very serious or are mad at me. I'm called Drizzle and I have been since middle school. I breed guinea pigs and I know a lot about them. If you want to know anything else just ask. So, hi!

Hello and welcome to the forum :)

You will find that breeding is something that's not dicussed on here as they all prefer to do rescues or rehoming :)

Looking forward to seeing your piggies soon :)
 
Rescues are fine, but what's wrong with breeding? If they were in the wild they would breed so why not have them breed in my home and turn a little profit?

Welcome to the forum.

But oh goodness, if they were in the wild it would be much different. In the wild they do it because it is natural to them to reproduce, it's not for pleasure or anything, that's just what their minds tell them to do. They don't do it for the profit of people.

Breeding isn't necessarily wrong, but everytime that you breed and 'sell' a guinea pig one in rescue is still in rescue or one that needs rehoming still needs rehoming. If you're extending your piggy family (which I don't think you are because you said it's for profit) then you can adopt from a rescue/rehome one that needs rehoming. Do you understand?

This forum stands firmly by his Rules and Guidelines. Breeders are welcome here but all we do is ask that discussions of intentional breeding or showing are kept elsewhere.

This is a rescue forum as you have already gathered and the answer to your post is, if rescues are fine, then why are you breeding making those guinea pigs in a rescue stand a lesser chance of finding a forever home because people are out there trying to breed the "perfect" guinea pig? Your guinea pigs are not in the wild and are not bred in a way to stand a chance in the wild. Breeding in the wild is natural whereas people who breed are deliberately putting two guinea pigs in a cage together in the hope of getting babies, putting the mothers life at risk and then "sell" their babies. Hmmmm....

Anyways welcome to the forum but please to take a good read of the forum Rules and Guidelines
 
Because pet animals should be happy and carefree, not a revenue. Esp. guinea pigs. Theres not any need to improve many of the breeds/they aren't extinct (which is, I think the ONLY reason people should breed them). That's just my opinion though.
 
And anyone who is breeding to make a profit is breeding for the wrong reasons anyway in my opinion, and although I have my own views in regards to breeding, this forum is anti-breeding etc, so you don't talk about it here.

Anyway, welcome to the forum
 
welcome to the forum I am not against breeding and do so for my self once in blue moon as I keep any pigs I have born here and always have done so, so to sell them for profit would go against everything we stand for , mentioning it again would probably cause offence , but on a lighter note do you keep any of your pigs and can we see pics?
 
Hello and welcome

When I decided to start keeping Guinea pigs a few weeks ago I visited a few pet shops to look at Guinea pigs,I also belong to a few dog forums and know how many dogs need permanent homes who are overlooked in rescues ,so I decided to look at Guinea pig rescues luckily there was one about 15 miles from where I live,and I have now given a forever home to 2 gorgeous girls,I am so pleased I found Guinea pig rescue,so these little girlies can start a new life with someone who is willing to take the time and effort to give them the best life they can have :)

I dont like breeding either when there are so many lovely piggies out there needing homes...i was just meaning i think shes trying to push peoples buttons a i doubt a breeder would say they make a profit unless they are selling purebred pigs or ones with psychic powers or something :-\
 
Welcome to the forum, but if you truly loved guinea pigs you would not be able to part with any of them.

How do you sell your guinea pigs and not worry as to where they are and if they are well cared for?

I apologise if the comments sound harsh, but i am against buying guinea pigs and believe that it is more rewarding to re home them.

Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone, It was more aimed at drizzlespiggies, I am sure that all of your piggies are well cared for and loved, but you are not breeding guinea pigs in order to make a profit.

I don't like these posts nor some of the others of drizzespiggies that I have checked back on.

drizzlepiggies you don't have the same attitude as the rest of us on here. Yours is not nice.
 
I am new,but have to say I am gobsmacked at drizzlepigs posts,not just on this thread but some other threads as well,I joined here for help and advice,I hope for the Guinea pigs sake nobody takes her advice >:(
 
I must say I am outraged and completely shocked at your attitude and comments DrizzlesPiggies and have taken great offence. It is utterly disgracing how firstly you have come on this forum and dismissed the rules and guidelines, secondly people have greeted you with nothing but kindness and asked you not to talk about breeding guineas, which you have shown you are not willing to do and thirdly how you don't know the first thing about caring for guineas. I am not against breeding providing it is for the right reasons and consideration is taken with every pregnancy, after all if someone hadn't started breeding then we guinea pig LOVERS wouldn't have the pets, OUR COMPANIONS, WHICH MANY OF US SEE AS FRIENDS OR EVEN PART OF THE FAMILY would have today. Backyard breeders are by doubt one of the lowest of the lowest forms of life on this planet, not interested in the lives of the animals, they have or bring into this world, all for a little profit (you can't make much profit from breeding unless you back breed and give the basic care). Know a lot about guinea pigs ;D ;D ;D ;D a three year old child sounds like they would know more then you, talking of ages I noticed on your profile you haven't put your age. How old are you? >:(
 
Shes a forum-troll, there's no need to stress yourselfs out. It's a wind up. :) ::) 98)
 
yep, i reckon she definatly set out to wind us all up. probably doesn't even own guinea pigs.

I bloomin well hope so, you know what guys, I have an idea, how about we all ignore her when she says something silly/incorrect because we all know on here how to treat a guinea pig :)
So when she says something, just let the post she posts fly over your shoulder :) Thats the best way I recon, it saves alot of arguing and saves people getting pissed off and angry :)

Anybody else think we should do this?
 
Well if she's back, lets hope she leaves behind her stupidity! If not, just ignore her, thats the best thing, saves arguing :)
 
Unless it was a real person with misguided views as they dont know any other guinea pig owners and instead of us all jumping on them, we should have advised them and given them more chance to give their input...

I know people have said some things that i consider a bit offensive and nasty to me in the past (even though they didnt mean it I'm sure) and thats why i post on another site now :-\ So to be coming on here and basically ripped apart must be horrible and i feel quite bad..

Although to start with i must admitt my first thoughts were a troll....
 
It didn't sound like she had misjudged veiws, I mean somebody asked about housing a guinea pigs from the inside to the outside and she just said "put them in the back yard, if they don't make it, it's nature" in other words - "just put them outside dispite the cold if they day oh well" >:( :tickedoff:

I don't think thats a misjudged post sorry, what she said weather or not s/he has pets is animal cruelty. :tickedoff:

I find it damn upsetting that somebody can say/do such a thing to an innocent animals :(:(
I love♥ piggies and I would never endanger one/any other animal
 
i know i know, just playing devils advocace...but if she was little and hears her dad saying stuff like that (which lets face it isnt impossible) thats a reason she could have come out with it...

I agree. I checked through all her posts and none of them had a nice way about them, not to mention giving out wrong info which somebody naive could take notice of.

Well a responsable adult wouldn't/shouldn't say things such as that. lol
Well anyways, best to ignore her anyways, and when she states something wrong, just correct her without and arguement, is what I think the best thing to do is :):)

I checked her posts too, not nice, I don't like people like that, they really malke me upset and :tickedoff:
