I looked through the Craigslist for breeders to flag, and found this ad. Please flag if in fact this person is a breeder. (broken link removed)

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

Definitely a breeder. Dad is a registered teddy, they have a wide variety of coat types and colors, and they're showing them. Flagged.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

Thank you. I wasn't sure, because I'm new to identifying breeders, but I'm glad my instinct was right. If I find any more breeders, do i make a new thread or just add to this one? Thanks for helping a newbie.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

Here's another potential breeder. They supposedly have males and females in "all sizes," and are selling at least six pigs from what I can see from the pictures.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

Just found a definite breeder. Says their hairless guinea pigs were "bought to breed." Ugh.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

Nt sure about this one, but it seems suspicious that the seller has five pigs for sale and knows the exact age of all of them. And the way he's holding the pig in the picture... Ugh.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

I think this is another. The poster only has "purebred" cavies, and quite a few of them.

Definitely a breeder, as far as I can tell.

Let's take them down!

To be honest I don't know WHAT's going on here. If anyone knows anything about this posting let me know.

I'm going to continue to add breeder ads and other suspicious postings to this thread, so remember to click onto it once in awhile.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

That add seems like someone whose pigs bred out of control. Probably started off having a male and female (possibly accidentally, possibly just not knowing that they would breed, etc), had a litter... didn't know how early the babies sexually mature... more litters, etc, etc. Until it got out of control and they have 80 pigs. That would be my guess.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

I don't know. Maybe they meant to say 8 pigs, because apparently they're ALL the same age. It just seems odd.

It can't be that, as there are 10 baby pigs in the first picture. And now they have 5 week old males and females all together, so I bet at least some of those baby females are pregnant by now. It's an endless cycle of piggies who are way too young to safely give birth, breeding with pigs they are related to, and producing way too many more pigs.

Re: Probable breeder selling a "selection" of cavy babies

Wow. Just wow. Is there anything I can do to help the situation? I can't imagine that the pigs are in livable conditions. 80 cups of vegetables per day? Don't think so. What can I do to help the piggies?

Update: screenshots of our conversation. I pretended to be interested in buying a pig, and here's their responses. Still seems suspicious to me.

That's just weird. From the last message the original amount would be 8, but if there are more than 8 pigs in their pictures maybe only 8 were for sale?

This ad ADMITTED breeding.
(broken link removed)

And an ad for "farm raised" cavies in "all sizes."
(broken link removed)

This looks like a breeder to me too.
