I emailed this guy and asked questions about why he wanted these animals. He wouldn't tell me so I'm inclined to think these animals won't be pets. I've flagged them as overpost since he put up multiple ads. I hope no one gives him their pets.
rodent rack wanted for mice, rats, guinea pigs,and rabbit etc.
wanted any rodent cage [guinea pig rabbit mice hamsters rats]

What about adds that state Feeder mice? They are selling as food not "rehoming"
Feeder Mice and they are in the pet section.
Rats
What bothers me about the ads I posted is that he never says they're feeders but he won't say what they are being used for. I sent him an email asking why he wants them and he emailed me back and asked why I wanted to know. I told him I have guinea pigs, just to see what he would say. He still wouldn't tell me and asked me if they're free. Your ad at least tells what they're being used for, which still disgusts me, but at least they're honest about it. I'm afraid people will give up their pets to the guy who posted my ad, thinking they are going to remain pets when they actually end up dead.

Atleast we can get hime for multiple listings.
He replied back to me, asking me where I live and what I keep my guinea pigs in. He went on to say he plans to breed them and mainly keep them as pets...... I don't think so....
Two ads were taken off but he just put up another one and one of the original ones is still up so these need two need be flagged for overposts, too.
Free rodents, hamsters and guinea pigs
wanted rodent [ guinea pig mice hamsters etc.
I just noticed two of his ads are gone but the third one is up. The first ad is a reply to his ad so don't flag that one. Sounds like someone else was as concerned as I was and made a counter ad to his......
Pinky you rock! Thank you for protecting the little guys! I say if you can't afford a rehoming fee and want it for free you either want to use them as feed or you can't afford to take care of the pet.
I watch the craigslist ads really closely. We have a few individuals that want small pets for free. There are also a few who sell feeders. It makes me wonder if it's the same people.
I had to ban myself from craigslist due to wanting to take in all those unwanted piggies.
My most recent addition is a Craiglist pig. She's needed a lot of vet care since I got her. With all three of her appts so far, I'm up to about $300 and I take her back today. She either has a resistant UTI or stones. There's been a huge improvement so I'm hoping she just needs one more round of antibiotics. Our rescue takes in a lot of Craigslist guinea pigs so that helps. We're in a highly populated area, too, so we always have some interest in adopting, although things seem to be slower now due to the economy..... When I was in college, one of my roommates was from St. Louis. She would make the drive back and forth from St. Louis to Grand Rapids MI frequently which always amazed me due to the long trek. Now that I live in the Chicago area, St. Louis is still a long drive.
