> horrible! arent mice better for snakes? lol

 

[Glynis]

Can we all put a 'no' on this somehow?
I find this repulsive and inhumane :'( :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: > > > > > >
Niki is there someway we can do something for those poor innocent little furbabies

 

[Jane]

Ack. Can't someone message them and ask them what they want them for? :-\

 

[scruffy]

Yeah ask if they want males or females and how many, that may give it away!

 

[Billies Mum]

How do you answer? Ive a mind to say something :tickedoff:

I was wondering exactly the same - not too sure, couldn't find anything. Maybe you can't?

 

[kellyandpiggies]

Worries me too, but afraid we can do anything but call. Still may get what they want anyway

 

[baby-wilson]

you should be able to report stupid ads like that! >

But i guess its the circle of life in a way... the pigs deserve a life but snakes needto eat too :-\ but mice would be better for them lol

 

[kellyandpiggies]

But saying that, how about poor mice? On a mice forum they would probably say give them a guinea pig or a rat.

But like you said; circle of life.

Snakes do have to eat, but I am against feeding live food. I still don't like the idea of feeding animals dead either, but the snake can't just starve can it. B-W, depending on the snake it wouldn't be interested in a tiny mouse - but that's a different story. I also think that feeding live mice is just as bad as guinea pigs

Maybe this person isn't going to feed them to snakes...I know it's the first impression, but maybe not...then again, "free or cheap" shows they don't want to spend much on them...breeding maybe?

 

[Cavy Crazy]

It wouldn't surprise me if it is a person, who hasn't got alot of money, trying to get a couple of guinea pigs for their child.

 

[baby-wilson]

;D yer coz you dont exactly want to pay more than $20 for a pig, Cindy cost me $20 and Wilson and the newest pig cost $15
We cant really stopthem from feeding them to a snake or somthing but maybe its worth asking what they want them for?

 

[Cavy Crazy]

I dare say if they were going to feed guineas to their snake(s) they would breed their own. That would make more sense. Or even breed their own rats.

course

 

[amziiacid]

I'm gonna phone them
what shall I say?

 

[kellyandpiggies]

If you want, maybe just ask what ages/sex are they after?

 

[baby-wilson]

yes also ask how many? maybe even ask if theyre for pets?

 

[gingerpig]

Did you manage to get through?

 

[Cavy Crazy]

Did you phone them and if so did you get through and what did they say? ?

 

[baby-wilson]

I dare say if they were going to feed guineas to their snake(s) they would breed their own. That would make more sense. Or even breed their own rats.

Maybe if they want only a few pigs of males and females they will breed? :-\
Who knows...

What did they say?

I get free text messages on O2, maybe I could text message them and ask them what they want guinea pigs for, how many, male or female? etc etc

It's not their number. When you place an ad, you get a phone number, like that which goes to you, instead of you putting your real number on to show everyone. I don't think it works for texts

on wed i got the free adds just having a look you know, and there was someone who wanted guineas for a forever home i think it said?
so i called, as i have some boars looking for a home, well i called and a lady that answered the phone, she was very vague saying she wasn't bothered about there age or sex, she didn't ask me what they looked like or there names, ALARM BELLS!! then she said that they where not for her but for a friend who had a farm and ad some guineas and wanted more as he liked them, i asked the usal questions but got very bland answers, so i said i would like the man to call me and we could have a chat as i would like to know where there going and to have a look at the place, she sad ok and said he would call me tonight, nobody called?
I wouldn't have let the boys go there veen if he had due to the way he went about getting them, i don't like that sort of advertising,.
