Angry Craigslist: guinea pig (Crystal Lake)

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pet/653452004.html

Four female guinea pigs are ready for adoption. No charge. One set is about 6 weeks old and the other is about 4 to 5 weeks old. If you are interested or have questions please let me know.

Not mine but if someone can help them then hurry before some idiot gets them for snake food.
Free + adoption = bad news

Sounds like a breeder to me.

Re: Craigslist: guinea pig (Crystal Lake)

Why would a breeder breed guinea pigs just to give away? Isn't the point to make money?

Many breeders don't do it for money. They do it for fun and socialization with other breeders. It's like a hobby. So they only keep the best looking ones.
Also some stock up extra pigs to supply. Extra pigs will have to go if they are not needed.

Re: Craigslist: guinea pig (Crystal Lake)

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. I think I have heard of kids breeding guinea pigs for a 4-H project though, so that does make sense.
