As I have seen a few members have offered to take your piggie for you. Why not post a listing on this site once you get your mother's approval and do that or give to a rescue.
Enough feathers have been ruffled on this site and the last thing the members want to hear is that your are giving it to a reptile store, where even if the owner himself doesn't turn her into snake food a customer will, whether the owner knows it or not.
Your piggie stands a much better chance of having a second shot at a good life if she gets brought to a shelter than if she gets brought to a pet store of any kind. Rescues are where most experienced and responsible cavy owners search for new additions to their heards. And even though you make not like your brothers pig you certainly like her enough to keep coming to this site to make sure that while she is in your home she gets the best care possible, since your realize that after all she is a living, breathing thing and deserves love, attention and proper care like all animals.
You can also place an ad on craig's list, and you being a reptile fan, will know how to spot people buying pigs for food and can make sure she goes to a loving home.
