It is against forum rules to post links to adverts selling animals. You can request advice/assistance without posting the advert link.

The best solution is to message the seller with rescue details (Windwhistle Warren is in nearby). Then report the post so it gets removed - this will leave the seller with fewer options and therefore more likely to take the rescue route.

If you are not happy to do this yourself please let me know and I shall step in.

sorry. didn't know i wasn't allowed to put links on. i have just emailed them very politely advising about rescues but the listing ends in just over 6 hours. maybe if you could contact them they will listen more with you being a rescue. plus you know the closest rescue to recommend it to them. if you do contact them would you be able to let us know how you get on. it would be lovely to see them go to rescue rather end up just anywhere. mind you they want quite a lot of money for the hutch so they possibly won't manage to sell it anyway - maybe they will go to a rescue then instead
 
I've messaged them with the details of two local GP rescues and the PB facebook page, I've also reported the advert so it gets pulled. Though it may well finish before any action is taken as ebay can be a bit slow off the mark sometimes.

If I hear anything more I'll let you know.

thanks suzy. i know the pigs that were for sale recently on there (someone put it on here to try to get help) took quite sometime to get taken off. hopefully they will end up somewhere decent.
 
I have had an email asking for rescue space for two piggies called Ant and Dec, no mention of the ebay ad though. They could well be the same pigs but no location was given. I have offered a space on the waiting list and given another rescue's details in South Wales plus the Piggy Bank UK approved rescue map in case they are the same pigs and therefore outside my area.

We'll see what, if anything happens.

that's great news if it is them. i did point them in the direction of rescues the same as you so looks like they may have listened. shows that being polite to people who probably do not know about rescues can work:) i'm really pleased
 
Really hope it is the same piggys and something gets sorted for them :)

(And it's not my ant and dec, same names but different piggies - just thought I'd make sure people know it's not me lol)
 
I've had another email - it's definitely not the ebay pigs. Very local to me, moving soon and no pets allowed, already rehomed their dog.
