How irresponsible..

Now, not only are they advertising 'Siamese Guinea Pigs' but Pregnant ones?? I imagine they have like a 1 in bazillion chance of going to a home that knows what the heck they are doing.. I'm disgusted to say the least.

That is awful - what a time to be sending a pig to a new home.

By Siamese they probably just mean Himalayan guinea pigs.

I was horrified.. and they live in my state! I'm half inclined to go check it out! But apparently a friend of mine has already contacted them and this person apparently *knows* best.

Yeah, Siamese would be refering to Himalayans - but just another thing they don't know, especially if they 'breed' these.

[Bean]

It bothers me none when people aren't knowledgeable about breeds, but selling any animal like that is awful, especially vulnerable pregnant animals.

Sadly the most clueless people often think they know best.

There are multiple posts by this person selling sows 'ready to live with boars'...

Oh its awful isn't it, I hate it when people treat their animals as live stock and not a dear pet.
