  1. Yes it would


  2. If you gave it certain things that it likes, like a good play time, it obviously be stressful living without its daily routine.

    I honestly think that if it is tamed and everything, and attached to you, then you shouldn't sell it. I bet that it was hard even moving out of the pet store for it!

    If you honestly and truly need the money or can't live with it under any circumstance, then I guess you can sell it.

    Hope this helps make your decision! Good luck chosing the real thing on your own!

  3. It would stress him out a bit, but it's probably better for him to live in a new home where the people want him then his regular home where you don't especially want to care for him

    If you give them the cage it might not be so bad. Also tell them what you usually do with him like when he gets let out, his type of food pellet, etc.

    My 2 had been at the SPCA a pretty long while before moving in with me. They were a bit scared at first, but adjusted eventually.

  4. it mite be stressful for it to not be with the same owner and who would wont to give such a cute thing away

  5. Yes, it will be stressful for your guinea pig to move but if it is moving to a larger cage with better food and more educated, caring owners then it will be okay.  You don't want it to go anywhere a dog can get at it, or to anyplace where little kids who don't know better will squeeze or , drop it, forget to feed it or feed it improperly, not clean the cage regularly, etc.  Your guinea pig is an adult living creature, not a toy to be tired of, and it deserves to be treated with respect and caring.

  6. Yeah it would be stressful for your guinea pig to go to a new home. He probably is comfortable with his home at the moment. And he knows hes safe there. I reallyy suggest not moving him because its like a whole different place and he may not understand it. Good luck!! :D
