Are there any cavy breeders that ship thier piggies?

Question

I'm just curious because I really want a Teddy but i cant find one any where close by :(

Answer 1

Shipping such small animals is really stressful and dangerous to it. No self respecting breeder would do this.

Cant you just adopt one from a shelter? Look at petfinder.com

Answer 2

There are many cavy breeders that ship their animals, but if they do, don't buy from them. Anyone who says they will ship a guinea pig, obviously does not care about the animal itself. Guinea pigs are notoriously poor travelers and usually do not make it through the trip if it is any great distance.

You may want to do some internet research on illnesses that are genetically linked to this breed before setting your heart on a Teddy or Satin.

Answer 3

No...you have to pick them up.

Answer 4

No reputable breeders ship their animals.

Find a shelter or rescue

If you look hard enough and are patient, you can usually find anything to adopt.
