Aw, I hope they find the perfect homes. Is there a small animal rescue that can post them?? Also, maybe try posting them in a vet? I know my small animal rescue will post some pets looking for homes, and especially if the owner can "foster" them so as not to rake the rescue's resources. Good luck!
2 Guinea Pigs and 2 Rabbits, Mississauga, Help
8
I am doing this for a long time friend. Her youngest son (17 months old) has had pneumonia and croup for 10 weeks now, they keep going in and out of the hospital, and the pediatrician has ordered she find new homes for their 2 rabbits and 2 guinea pigs. The pets aren't new, but her little guy is so sick and not getting better, pneumonia went into his other lung, asthma, etc. She is in Mississauga. Her hands are full with him and his medications, so I'm hoping I can help her by doing this. I'm in Ottawa, but I will coordinate with her on the phone any pet pick ups that happen. She loves these critters and is worried they'll become snake food, so I told her I'd help weed those people out. I've always loved this place so I thought maybe I'd give it a shot.
The 2 guinea pigs are females and are caged together and must stay together. The 2 rabbits are males, not caged together, but can go to the same home.
First: Guinea Pigs "Rainy & Rainbow"
Females, about 1 year old. Very friendly even with her 4 kids, no problem being handled. Come with their cage and all accessories, extra food, bedding (an antibacterial recycled paper). It's a free standing metal cage, 2 tier, with a hay rack, food dish, water bottle, 2 plastic houses (1 for each gp).

Second: Rabbit "Baxter", male, 1 year old, lop. Also great with being handled by the kids. Comes with his cage, litter box ('maybe' litter trained), hay ball, water bottle, food bowl, extra food and bedding.

Third: Rabbit "Storm", male, 1.5 years old. Does NOT like to be picked up, at all. She says he will come up to you and rub against you like a cat, but he hates being picked up. She rescued him from outside. He comes with his cage, litter box (she says he's 100% litter trained), hay ball, water bottle, food dish, extra food and bedding. I think he also comes with an outdoor pen visible in his picture.

I would but I'm not there to post them. She's in Mississauga, I'm in Ottawa. The travel isn't easy so I'm helping this way since I'm good with computers etc.
See, I'm used to having bunnies I can't pick up. Acacia hates it! If I was closer and had the financial means I would take him. I have such a weak heart for animals I know nobody else will want. Maybe if a small animal rescue can take Storm they might have him neutered which will make him a more sociable bun?

If we have difficulty finding the rabbits new homes, I will into local animal rescue, hopefully one just for rabbits. I know she won't let them go as snake food or to the humane society, so I'm trying to do this as if it were her with plenty of time on her hands
Aw, I'm glad the GP's were placed. Now, for the bunnies! At least they're not bonded. Bonded pairs have such a hard time getting adopted by our rescue. They even had an "adopt a pair" month where you get the pair for the price of one... No luck. People are afraid of the commitment.
So at least Storm and Baxter have an equal chance of getting a home- even if they're not together.

Thanks so much for the ideas, Dragonrain! I will do that!
