Buddy-male Abyssinian needs new home Urgently
Our Story
My husband and I have had 4 rescued guinea pigs. 3 of them lived out their full lifespan with us and the youngest is now 3(ish) years old. We got him from a pet store he had been surrendered to. They had no idea of his true age but, he was likely about 8 weeks old. His name is Buddy. He's a beautiful butter colored Abyssinian. I would not call him a "biter" but he has been known to "nip" when he is frightened. He's not big on being picked up but he will usually sit and eat a carrot before he gets restless and wants to go back in his cage. He was bonded with an older pig who died and he has been alone since then, about 8 months or so. He is a good veggie eater and has no medical problems that we are aware of. I have everything he needs and its all very nice condition. Items include hay, orchard grass and kibble, fleece, water bottles, snacks, and a C&C cage with 2 corrugated liner trays.

Rehoming because
My husband died unexpectedly and I have to move. I will not be able to take Buddy with me so, I wanted to try to find him a good home before I am forced to take him to the Humane Society. This breaks my heart to lose them both at the same time.Timing

Can you SHIP?
Sorry, NO. Please do not contact the owner and ask about shipping guinea pigs. It is NOT possible. Please look for guinea pigs LOCAL to you! That's what this site is for--helping you find a guinea pig close to home to adopt and love.
But I want THAT one!
Yes, that one is adorable and looks just like the one you must have for your very important reason or you will not be able to go on living. But, there are many more in your area that are just as wonderful. Perhaps they are not listed here, but they can be found. The piggy in need waiting for you near your own back yard might look a little different, but could melt your heart anyway!
