Our Story

Current Location: Ft. Collins CO

Fabio is a single male looking for his forever home. He doesn't get along well with other piggies and must be adopted solo.

Fabio has a long story to tell. Fabio the senior polydactyl came to us (Cavies and Canines) emaciated and infected with lice. After a simple surgery to remove his extra toes, we discovered he had a thyroid tumor causing hyperthyroidism and associated complications. After a successful thyroidectomy surgery, he was beginning to recover. Unfortunately, his remaining thyroid has not been able to compensate for what was removed. Luckily though, Fabio has bounced back wonderfully, and is now ready to find a forever home.

More experienced owner required to adopt Fabio. He has special needs: A daily thyroid replacement medication He also does not get along well with other piggies, and must be kept separated by himself.

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!
