Fees is to ensure tat some ppl dun take them free n go n sell them. I know of some ppl who takes free things and den go n sell for profits.
I look for responsible ppl to adopt .. not those 3minute fever type of person.
A fee ensures tat the person will feel a pinch before committing to keep the pet , expected lifespan is approximately 8 years or till they die.

what the size of the fee u r looking at? are you certain the person who pays you your fee will not resell the rodents?
and no matter how pretty a picture u paint, a fee is a fee. a profit is made so its a sale. unless u donate the profits to a certified charity organisation.
and jus because they can afford your fee doesnt mean they are not on a 3 minute fever. it just means they have money.
BTW SPCA has specific terms & conditions tt come along with the fee such as visitations by a SPCA representative.... Not jus the fee alone.

U know how much i spend on them each month? The fee is definately not profits at all.
My point is tat, if they adopt, they pay a fee , pictures can be view. Even if personally wan to come n see also not no issue.
The person interested is a young boy… If he is a genuine pet lover, i can even consider giving it to him with NO Fees charged, coz he is telling me he might have problem with his cash flow. I will interview the person n see if he or she is responsible enuf to care for the pet.
There are some ppl take free things n go sell off. The fee is less den 1/4 of the price of a new guinea pig from the pet shop. To me , its reasonable as it safe guards my interest n the other who is interested.
If the adopter pay the fee n still go n resell, i also cannot prevent it. The option I can give, is tat i can take it back or refund back within 1 week.
Who are u to judge? I put up for adoption, ppl adopt n u wan to make so much noise ?

If you want people to adopt then you have to give them away for free. Unless you have a guinea pig breeding license you can't breed or sell them. In other words, you cannot accept a fee for giving them away. So, you are committing something illegal most prob.
Yea. I agree. For adoption, there should not be a fee imposed. Selling of pets without a license is illegal. Will be charged by AVA if found guilty. For breeding, you do not need a license unless, u are prepared to take care of them and do not shirk responsiblities after thinking u cant handle them. Advice is do not breed. Let the animals have a good home and for guinea pigs, do not breed them as it's too risky.

tat can be arranged. I jus wan someone really keen to look after them. I hate to part with them too. Fee can be returned, as a deposit and after 3 months i can give back the sum after a house visit to see that they are taken care properly.
The starting is I took in a abandoned guinea pig, seeing tat he is lonely, i got a companion for him… tat made the population bigger n bigger as they multiplied… have already rehome 2 fella. now still left with 5 … and population can increase every 2-3 month .. theres only 1 male adult, and 1 baby male.. the rest r female…..

They eat dry pellets. Veggies n carrots occasionally. Bedding wise, i line with new paper n put those plastic mats tat has holes for them. So their wee n shit can be below the mat. More cleaner this way. Used to be using recycled paper pellets, but its rather expensive.
But if u need recycled paper pellets, 12kg pack ,i am able to get them around 5 bucks cheaper den outside selling.But u need to order at least 2 packs den u can save 10 bucks , but self collection.
They only need bath when very smelly or if they stained with urine. Provide fresh drinking water for them . They dun bite , if they do, its becoz they mistaken as food… Healthy pigs always eat non stop, they squeak loudly when they are hungry or see u with food, and also might jump very high becoz they are too excited .
I hope really got sincere adopters .. dun 3 mins heat den wan to keep. Their lifespan is ard 8 years. Long fur need to trim when it gets too long…nails needs to be cut.
