Okay. Let me first start off by saying I have done alot of research, and I do know the basics. I also have a very cavy savvy vet. But there is this couple in the city who called me. They said someone told them I was looking for some piggies. I said wonderful I would love to come meet them. Well I showed up to a ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT that was horrible smelling and they are your run of the mill pet store breeders. They said they have to get rid of the pigs becuase they are not producing enough revenue. I flipped out. They had males with females who are not spayed. They were livin inside a coffee table that had chicken wire across the bottom and sides.. The bedding was papertowels. They breed cats, and rabbits and mice and said the guinea pigs dont get them cash like they use to. First off I told them how digusted I was to see that they have such a small apartment and all theese animals It was so grose. But to see these beautiful girls and boys in such a digusting condition. I agreed to take the 3 females and I said Id work on finding homes for the boys. Well then she came out with my carrier and said oh, I forgot about the girl in my bedroom. I said Oh, Uh, UM okay. Kind of shocked and was so "ticked" off I said okay fine. I gave her hay and pellets none of which she had to hold the boys over until I can figure something out. So I get home and Im so happy, that I did something so great for a great cause of animal rescue. AND THEN THERE IT WAS, A HUGE PIG. Now I knew as soon as she waddled out that she was PREGNANT and let's just say I CAN SEE THE BABIES MOVING INSIDE OF HER AND FEEL THEM UPON PETTING HER GENTLY. My Vet is open tommrow and I am going to get an emergency appointment for all of them to be checked especially Princess the Prego. But in the mean time for tonight. Does anyone know what I should look for or anything I can do to make her comfortable. I have a few RATHER HUGE C&C with only the other female in it (trying to give her alot of space). I just am so shocked and stunned. I hope that between now and 10am till the vet opens she doesnt deliver. The lady did say when I called her back that she has been breed several times and all were successful except for the two before the last she had a lethel in each so they changed the father and the last litter was 4 babies and she was fine. I of course am totally prepared since I adopted these girls that the precious innocent babies are going to live here and have a forever home. Even if it is a lethel I have the means and money for a good vet in Pitts, PA that deals with alot of lethels. So I just wanted to make clear I did not make this happen. I know the dangerous means of breeding and that it shoudlnt be done. I just simply became taken advantage of because of my kindness once again, should be use to it by now. But theese pigs deserve the best in life and Im ready to give that to them and welcome them with arms wide open to our family. Any tips would be soo very thankful for. And anyone can email me privately to talk more about this if they are interested in the adoreable males. They are all aby's or peruvians. Great coats and color patterns, all very very friendly. Id love to get them all out of there. They are giving them away she said or they will have to be put down. I know for a fact that a person who lives by them and seen me taking the pigs out waited till they went inside and shoke my hand and said they have been calling the animal control for months to try to shut their scam down but no one responded and they are glad that they are getting proper care from a clean family that loves pigs. They said that the babies that do not look good to sell to the pet stores the neighbors have seen them drown cats in a kiddy pool, rabbits/bunnies and also pigs. I balled like a baby and held onto my pet carriers and told them to let me know if they see anything with pigs until tommrow when I come back to get the boys if I can find some homes for them. This is digusting and it makes me sick that people can do this. Thanks Again.
Thanks so much in advance for any tips or support. I am really as perplexed and shocked about the whole situation as you all are that read this. Please dont yell at me though about anything I dont think I can handle it right now. I just tried to do the right thing since they had a for free sign online.
