Hi everyone :)
I want to dedicate this thread to a wonderful guinea pig named Ariel. I adopted her in 2004 from Have A Heart GP Rescue in NJ along with her two daughter (from two different litters). All three girls are texels and came from a breeder originally. Poor Ariel had over 13 babies...

Minivan.mom,
I run a guinea pig rescue called Furry Friends that is located about 15 mins from Philadelphia. I am about 2 hours from DC, as I have visited the city many times. If you would have tried to find and reach out to other rescues like mine or Have a Heart in NJ, you would have easily...
Hi,
My name is Grace. I run a guinea pig rescue in SE PA calles Furry Friends. I have a couple piggies being adopted out soon. Maybe in a few weeks, I can take them in.

Hi everyone,
I have an adopter who wants to make a C and C cage, but has been told by the people in the forum she belongs to that her mimi poodle could get to the guinea pigs and kill them. Someone actually told her a story of a dog that got to her piggies through the cage.
The adopter says...
Thank you for everyone's great imput. I am not going to let this man, although he seems very nice and well-intentioned, adopt a guinea pig from me. I just do not feel comfortable. There are too many things that could happen the the poor piggy, that I couldn't live with myself if I let him adopt...
Thanks for the imput guys. If anyone else has an opinion, PLEASE share it! I need to call this man within the next day or two and after reading all of the responses, I think they are all valid points, but are all contradicting to each other.
My problem would be that if I informed that man of...
Hi everyone.
I need your opinion! I just recieved a call from a very nice man looking to adopt a guinea pig. The only problem is that he works at a school and wants to adopt one as a classroom pet. I am against that, as I am sure most of you are as well, because it is very unlikely that being...
I am not sure how intelligent they are, but their memories are impecible! I had a ramp in my cage for a month or two and then reconfigured it without a ramp. A year later, I made another cage that had a ramp. They immediately ran up the ramps!!! Very smart piggies :)
(It did take the piggies...
I am located just outside Philly. I have wanted to adopt a rabbit for the longest time, but my parents say I can only have cavies. So sorry :( Good luck finding a home for the little guy!
She is the cutest little thing :) Definitely a Texel! I have three adopted Texels and in my opinion, they have the cutest faces of any breed!!! I am glad you got to her before someone else took her as snake food!
As a quick update, I picked up 10 of the barn piggies from Marci yesterday. They are all preggy females, but completely healthy otherwise. Very surprising. The poor girls are very skiddish and need lots of human socialization.
I actually was able to visit the set of the Village and see all of the houses and buildings they built for the movie. It was filmed about 1/2 hour away from us and our friends lived in a house right near where it was filmed. The set was awesome!!!
