To make a long story short, it all started with getting a cute furry guinea pig for my son, and it has turned into she had 6 babies on Monday!
I need to find a good home for the babies, I'm in the Tulsa, OK area, can anyone suggest an online site where I can go to find them good homes?

6, wow, that's a lot of babies! First males will need to be separated from females at 3 weeks old to avoid further pregnancies. Here's a good website for sexing guinea pigs: https://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm
Second, guinea pigs are herd animals so please consider keeping 1 female baby as a companion to Mom pig.
Third, you can list the babies for adoption on petfinder.com and Craigslist, however you'll need to screen potential adopters carefully and/or request a rehoming fee or risk the babies becoming snake food. I recommend adopting them out in same sex pairs if adopters are willing, like I said, they are herd animals.
Fourth, mom and babies need extra calcium, feed alfalfa pellets or alfalfa hay (mixed with their regular hay) or some parsley for extra calcium. Good luck!
