Default Wanted - young peruvian female and companion female/ Fort Collins, Colorado area

Hello,
We (my daughter and I) are searching for a young peruvian female guinea pig and a companion for her (female as well). We thought we found them on Pet Finders, but we were a couple hours behind another family who called for them.

Believe it or not, there are not too many places here to adopt. Larimer County Animal Shelter is guinea pig free and the one place in the Denver area just adopted out what we were hoping for.

I am really resisting the idea of a breeder (believe it or not, none in our area that I am aware of, either). She does not want it for show purposes, just some piggie to love. We also know we want 2, so when she is at school, they have some companionship.

Our Cavy Cage is built and ready for companions. I can travel as far as Colorado Springs and Denver area, and of course, Fort Collins.

Is there anyone out there who maybe had an opps pregnancy or has a young pair that they need to find homes for?

Well, to update this post, we now have 2 adorable baby sisters, not peruvian, but silkies. My daughter is estatic, she has waited a long time. Her beloved Caramel passed away right in the midst of moving and was promised one when we got settled in. Well, that was almost a year and a half ago, and for her patience, she got 2 piggies (of course, I wanted 2 as well, they need companionship when she is in school, not to mention I love piggies!)

I do have many questions (even though I have had pigs before), but will go to the social hour threads and ask them there.

Hello, I am located in Pueblo West, CO. I am sorry to say I do not have a Peruvian female, but I do have 2 young female piggies I am trying to find a good, forever home for.

The first is Popcorn, she is an Abyssinian and completely white. We named her Popcorn because when we first got her she was popcorning like crazy!

Her sister, at least I was told they were sisters at the shop where I purchased them, is black and white and I am guessing she is an English (Smooth Coat). Her name is Squeakers and yes she got her name because she squeaked (which I now Know is called wheeking) tons when we first picked her up. She still does wheek more than her sister.

The reason I am finding a new home for them is that although they are well cared for here, no one spends any time witht the poor dears. When we first purchased them about 9 months ago, they are 10 months old now, I purchased 1 for my then 10 year old daughter and 1 for my then 4 year old son. It is a long story, but I had originally purchased just one for my son from Petco who ened up dying within a week's time. I had done some research and felt a guinea pig would be a good companion for my son at his age. I had been on the internet trying to find out what might be wrong with her and what I could do to help (it was Saturday night and we were going out of town the next morning) when I found the Guinea Lynx site and I did what I could for her, but when we came home Sunday evening she had passed. Through the Guinea Lynx site and Guinea Pig Cages site I found out that they really needed a companion and also a much larger cage, hence my reason for purchaing two and for our large 2 x 4 grid C & C cage with an upper deck. To find out more about C & C cages, if you don't know about them already, you can visit their site at Guinea Pig Cages, Your Cavy At Home. Our cage is included for you as well if you are interested. I noticed you said you had something already so we could talk more about that later if you are interested in the girls.

When we first got them we all seemed to spend an alot of time with them and although we all still love them dearly they are lucky to get out more that 15 minutes a week and I feel bad for them. They are still skittish when I comes to picking them up, but onec you have them they are fine and really quite sweet. They have never bitten or acted aggresive in any way.

I want to find a good home for them and am not in a huge hurry to find them a home as they are not a problem here so I will be picky about who I give them to. I am asking for a monitary donation which we can discuss later, again if you are interested.

I would like to give you a couple pictures, but seem to be having trouble with that. You can check out pictures on the Guinea Pig Cages, Your Cavy At Home site. My user name is luverofpiggies so I hope you can find them. I have a thread I placed on their forum for Adoptables as well where you can see thier pictures.

Finally I would be will ing to meet you in Colorado Springs if everything works out. Finally, if you prefer to email me you may at jennifersharp71@msn.com.

While I was writing that long response you must have been posting your new one stating you had found some piggies. Good luck with them.

Your piggies are adorable, but unfortunately, I only have room for 2. Hopefully you will find a great home for them.
