First are Toffee's 3 babies which are all male and just reached 3weeks old. Right now they are living with Licorice.

Cute little noisy wheeks. They are never quiet and the cage is going to seem empty without them running around wheeking at everything.

Also up for adoption is Licorice. We got him from the shelter where he was going to be adopted out with his cagemate, Snickers(female), and the cage they'd been living in which was about 1'x2'. Since he lived with only Snickers his whole life he isn't very good at communicating with other boars. Over the summer he lived with 9yr old Mischief but Mischief passed away a little while ago so Licorice has been alone. He won't get along with any of my boars and has a few scars including a slightly deformed lip from getting in fights. The main problem is he doesn't respect his spot in the herd order. He mounts anyone all the time and will chatter when he's even the slightest annoyed. He often chatters at us when we walk up to the cage. With another guinea pig that's somewhat dominant that behavior is unacceptable and leads to fights. Licorice needs a home with a very submissive guinea pig that will ignore his behavior or avoid him until Licorice forgets about it. He will not attack another guinea pig that doesn't attack him first.

Licorice had also never had his toenails trimmed and will need continued regular trimming to shorten them and keep them from curving sideways.

Oh. What cute babies. It must be hard to part with any of them. I know that I will have difficulty parting with any boars that sweetpea may have! Good luck finding homes. I hope it works out well for you. :0)

I'm about 6 hours from you. If I was closer I take the baby multicolored abby off your hands. Unless there is a way for transport.

**TheMadWheeker** · #6 08-30-05, 04:53 pm

If we can arrange for transport to somewhere nearer to valdosta georgia I will take all three of the babies. I am new here so I dont know many of the people on here to be able to set up transport but if someone would be interested in helping set that up please let me know

Aqh, I know this has been a very difficult decision for you to make. Licorice is very handsome. I'm sorry it didn't work out but I'm sure you'll find him a great home. Good luck w/ adopting out those cute babies as well!!

YEah Licorice is very pretty. However, I know for a fact he wouldn't get along with my boys from the way you described his behavior.

**aqh88** · #9 08-30-05, 05:41 pm

I have insomnia so I can't really drive far. Between either lack of sleep or the medicine I take to get sleep I'm always at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Chris can help drive but he has class and work so 100miles is probably the limit and only if someone really wants one of them.

**RyanR** · #10 08-30-05, 05:48 pm

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to pass. Though I really love that baby multi-colored abby.

**divine53** · #11 08-30-05, 07:48 pm

Is Licorice a candidate for neutering or did I read somewhere that you thought he was too old to risk the surgery?

**aqh88** · #12 08-31-05, 04:15 pm

I would guess he's close to 5yrs old and probably too old to be neutered.

**RyanR** · #13 08-31-05, 05:17 pm

I'll have to agree there. He is a bit old for neutering.

**Slap Maxwell** · #14 08-31-05, 05:36 pm

I really love the TSW American and the red Abby. I hope they find some good forever homes.

**TheMadWheeker** · #15 08-31-05, 07:03 pm

Anyone willing to help me set up transport on these little guys I will take all three of the MALE babies and give them a great forever home. I work alot and its hard for me to get time off and I know shipping is out of the questions so I want to make it clear they can have a great home but I will need help in getting them closer to me.

**RyanR** · #16 09-01-05, 04:28 pm

If I knew someone heading south. I would help arrange travel but I don't. I know the babies would be in good care with you New2Cavys.

**aqh88** · #17 09-01-05, 07:40 pm

I'll check one more time if you want but I was 90% certain on day 5 that they were males and I've only gotten more certain since then. If they aren't males then they have some weird flesh growth over their pubic bone
