Okay so Big Momma's babies will be ready in a couple of weeks to leave her and be seperated, so how should I go about finding homes for them? I would love to be able to keep them all, but I know that I can't right now, it's just too much, of course if I don't find them homes, then I will keep them, but I really would like to adopt them out. Does anybody have any suggestions for adopting them out?

I would say get them an adoption application. I will PM you two different versions, so you can make your own. Charge around $25 to adopt. Make sure you do a home visit.

I emailed them to you.

That's great, Thank you, and I found out that our local shelter has a bullituin(sp?) board for people with animals to adopt, so I can post it there so people looking at the shelter for one know that I have some.

Make a list of your requirements and determine a way to verify the adopters meet those. Some of my requirements are a cage matching or exceeding the standards set out here, a solid understanding of nutritional needs of pigs, and an understanding and willingness to pay the vet costs should the pigs become ill. Also, I don't adopt out single piggies. Good luck!

Some rescues keep lists of private adoptions. Also, most pet supply stores have adoption/lost and found bulletin boards. Since those stores don't sell animals you wouldn't be supporting the trade. Also, you could ask if someone has a petfinder account and is willing to list your piggies.

Good Luck! Oh! And where are you, and what are the details? Perhaps someone here is ready to adopt in your area. Also, GuineaLynx has a cavy placement forum you can post to.
