This time last year I recieved a call from someone in the city of Palma, that they found a cage next to a dumpster with 7 guinea pigs with no shelter, food or water. I was furious to hear that, it was really hot that day. People can be so cruel sometimes... so I drove over to pick them up, the girl who called was really nice and waited for me to come and told me that she thinks they belonged to a family that lived in the building in front of the dumpster because she heard guinea pig squeals.

I was really mad about the situation and decided to pay them a visit, a women opened the door and I tried my best to politely inquire about their guinea pigs and if by any chance, the ones abandoned were once their pets. She started to cry and her sons came to the door. They let me in and showed me another 3 cages with 5 male guinea pigs and a bunny. They told me that they "accidently" bred their guinea pigs too much and ended up with too many animals and had to get rid of some. So they left all the female guinea pigs in a cage outside (they denied that they left them next to the dumpster). I gave them "the talk" and I didn't leave until I was sure they would be able to care properly for the animals they had. They were in large cages, and seemed to be in good health. So I felt a bit better for the animals in the house. But I wasn't too pleased about the ones they abandoned. I gave them my number just in case they had the need to abandon anything.

So now we had a Guinea pig madness at home!

I had to have them loose in the play room since cages were too small to house them all and they were used to living together.

This one was the youngest of the group. Probably about 6-8 months. She was adopted 2 days later :D

This one was about a year old, she was adopted 2 days later along with the other young girl. I was happy they left together!

She was one of the older ones, also the mother of some of the males the family had. She was adopted a few weeks later with other 2 females.

This one also was quite old (2-3 years), she was the mother of the little white one. She was adopted with other 2 females a few weeks later.

This is the other female that was adopted with the other 2, she was about a year old too.

One of them was pregnant and gave birth at home. The baby in the middle died 2 days later from breathing problems. The rest were healthy and beautiful girls. They stayed for 3 months until I found someone who took them all together with the mother.

And this is Frou Frou, who stayed home and currently shares a play pen with Elizabeth, our rescue bunny.
