Guinea Pigs Need CompanyGuinea Pigs are social creatures that thrive in the company of other pigs.
Because of this we do not re home single guinea pigs unless the animal is to be a companion for the guinea pig (s) you already have. It is not fair to have a single guinea pig. She will be extremely lonely and we also believe it can shave of years off their natural lifespan which is 6 - 8 yrs. So please count on adopting at least a pair or trio of guinea pigs. We only adopt out same sex pairs or neutered male/female pairs. Children and Guinea Pigs
If you are interested in adopting for your children you must read this first before deciding that a guinea pig is the right pet for your family You may decide that a guinea pig is not for you after reading this information kindly provided by Cavy Spirit,

(Note: We have no 1st hand experience with the vets on this page and can only wholeheartedly recommend our vets above) Guinea Pig Cages Almost ALL cages sold in pet stores are not suitable
The typical pet store cages are NOT OK for guinea pigs – even the XL versions. For this reason we (and every other guinea pig rescue that does it right) do not do an adoption unless an approved cage will be used to house the animals. If this is a problem and you really cannot find the space for a good cage then we suggest you look into adopting a different animal altogether, preferably one that will not be restricted to a cage or is happy with a smaller living arrangement like a hamster (even though hamsters do need more space than the tiny cages pet shops have you believe are ok.) It is our job to make sure the pigs will live in an appropriate cage that will keep them healthy and happy. Guinea pigs need specific cages. So do not buy a cage yet till you have read the cage requirements. We have two have types of cages at $60 suggested donation. Look here for more info Guinea Pig Cages. We speak from experience. We have been caring for and rescuing guinea pigs for over 18 years. Giant Guinea Pigs - have you seen one? Do you own or know one?Read more and help us collect information
