Re: need guinea pigs to rehome ....

I myself have 8 pigs of my own. Just those 8 alone take up a lot of money. Like trump_cinnamon said, there is a lot they need, like vet bills, fresh veggies and space. And don't forget you have to separate females from male and so on. And of course some pigs won't get along with others so they will need to be separated. For my 8 pigges, I spend at least $100 a month on just veggies. They also need pellets and unlimited hay (which goes quickly enough with 8) and constant fresh water, which should be changed and cleaned out everyday. Plus you need to clean the cages at least every week, but probably more since you'll have mass quantities. I do clean mine twice a week, and I use fleece so laundry soap money adds up too. If you use shavings, that's a whopping amount as well. So if you really want to do what you say, and do it properly, you really need to think this through and take full responsiblity.
