This advert is worrying

Found this advert on Gumtree. You wonder where these poor things will end up. A non knowledgeable home probably. Why did they get them in the first place? They've obviously not had them long as they are only 4/5 months old.

Oh dear, that is terrible. I feel so sorry for them. Hopefully at the price that is being asked iot will be someone who knows how to look after them that will buy them. I don't fancy their chances however and I am feeling really sad now. I know I will be thinking about them a lot

sounds to me like this person has been breeding and probably selling them previously, sad really I hope someone takes them on as pets or if they go to a breeder its someone reputable who will treat them right

Very worrying indeed. I agree - here's hpong they go to someone caring who will look after them properly, the advert is like exploitation.

I agree it sounds almost like they are encouraging someone to breed them

I'm in the 01189 area. I don't have a spare £600 quid though, and I doubt they'd turn them over to RGPR...

Such a shame. That some people buy them to make money from them when there are people who absolutly love their piggies completely cant keep them because of the economy.
Poor things, there almost saying your getting a bargin as I'm only charging for the adult piggies so when they give birth you can make your money back selling the babies

 

[mikulinek]

That's awful - sounds like they were virtually "battery" piggies before and the seller seems intent on encouraging the buyer to use them in the same way

If I had that kind of money I'd buy them just to make sure they were well treated... Poor litte guys
