guinea pigs


Question Posted Monday January 17 2005, 4:35 pm

If I were going to get a cat or dog, I'd go to an animal shelter or pound or something else like that. But I'm not getting a cat or dog I want to get a guinea pig. Does anyone know of a place where I could get one that NEEDS a home (other than an ordinary pet store?)

Well go to any full-blown petstore like Petsmart or Petco. If they sell fish and mice, they probably sell guinea pigs. Before you go, however, read up on healthy guinea pigs, and make sure you don't get one that's sick.

If you live in FL you can always get some from pets mart or even pet emporium at the orange park mall.I would suggest pets mart though because they have everykind of pet supplies you can possibly think of plus they have very healthy looking ones and they are especially cute!

try to find some who has hamsters who are going to have babies soon and adopt one of the babies a few months after it is born, or, go to a pet store and ask if there are any sick animals that could use alot of attention. I heard that if pet store animals aren't purfect, they kill them!!!

*Hope I Helped*

I know that if you go to a pet store, they can give you phone numbers and addresses of places or breeders of animals. Try going to your local pet store and ask someone if they know where you can buy guinea pigs. Hope I helped :)

MFS answered Monday January 17 2005, 4:42 pm:
Your best bet here is to know people who already have Guinea Pigs and have breeded them - thus, they have lots of Guinea Pig babies and need to find homes for them.<br>
<br>
How do you find those people? Word of mouth. In all honesty - go to a small, local pet store (non-chain) and ask the manager - often, they have contacts with all sorts of pet owners and breeders and can help hook you up. In fact, often, the babies they have in the store for you to buy came from someone who bred the guinea pigs in their home.
