Breeding Program
(UPDATED PRICING)
After much thought and consideration, I’ve made the decision to slowly begin increasing the adoption fees for guinea pigs FROM MY BREEDING PROGRAM. This change reflects the rising costs of care, the quality of animals I provide, and a comparison to current market pricing.
PetSmart is now selling “fancy guinea pigs” for $89.99, and both PetSmart and Petco are regularly listing guinea pigs between $52.99 and $59.99—often with limited background information and no ongoing support.
In contrast, guinea pigs from Small4Paws go home with:
• A health and adoption contract
• Full assurance that the pig is free of upper respiratory illness and skin conditions
• A known genetic background developed over 6 years of dedicated breeding
• A wide selection of both long and short-haired varieties
• Continued support after adoption, including regular check-ins and guidance on setup and care
This decision ensures I can continue to provide the highest standard of care and maintain the integrity of my breeding program. I appreciate your understanding and ongoing support.
If you have any questions, I’m always happy to talk more about my process and what sets Small4Paws apart.
Thank you!
Precious
Golden Agouti, Cream and White Peruvian Sow
DOB: 12/19/25
READY NOW
Freya x Brody
AVAILABLE
$140
​Precious is a stunning Peruvian sow. She has a gentle, affectionate personality! She is sweet, social, and enjoys cuddling and attention. Precious will have long hair that requires regular brushing, bathing, and trimming, so her future home should be prepared for routine grooming. She will need to go to a home with at least one other female cagemate, or she can leave with another piggy from here.
Bloom
Red and White Peruvian Sow
DOB: 1/4/26
READY: 2/4/26
Indiago x Stewart
AVAILABLE
$140
Bloom is a red and white Peruvian sow from a recent mixed breeding with a beautiful coat and lots of potential. She will have long, thick hair that requires regular maintenance including brushing, trimming, and bathing. Bloom is still young and her personality is continuing to develop, but so far she has shown herself to be curious and calm while being held. Her parents are very cuddly and outgoing. Her temperament is suree to be able to adjust to any household. She will need a home with at least one other piggy companion.
Sterling
Silver Agouti and White Peruvian Boar
DOB: 4/11/24
READY NOW
AVAILABLE
$100
He has recently been trimmed short in these photos.
Sterling is a stunning long-haired male with a personality just as bright as his name. He’s outgoing, affectionate, and full of charm—truly the kind of piggy who wins people over instantly. With his soft coat and sweet nature, he would make a wonderful addition to just about any home, including families with kids.
Sterling has been well socialized and handled regularly, making him confident and comfortable around people. He isn’t overly dominant and may be compatible with another young, gentle male. He also enjoys interacting with his humans and absolutely thrives on attention.
Because of his luxurious long hair, regular grooming is a must— trimming, detangling, and occasional baths will help keep him looking and feeling his best. I also offer these services in house, for local's who prefer to have the grooming done for them. Sterling can also be a picky eater, so he’ll benefit from a consistent, balanced diet specific to his preferences. He is up for adoption because I am keeping some of his lineage where he isn't completely needed here. I would like him to get a home were he can get more attention; since his personality is so outgoing.
For those who need them, a cage and supplies are available for an additional charge, making it easy for his new family to get everything set up from day one.
Sterling is affectionate, interactive, and full of personality. If you’re looking for a piggy who brings both beauty and heart, he may be the perfect match.
Esme & Essie
Esme; Golden Agouti, Red & White Coronet Sow. DOB: March 24'
Essie; Golden Agouti, Red & White Coronet Sow. DOB: 10/26/25
MOTHER DAUGTER DUO
AVAILABLE
READY NOW
$225
Esme is a truly stunning long-haired Coronet sow with a calm, loving, and incredibly sweet personality. She has always been such a joy to have here, and I honestly never thought I would be posting her for adoption. However, as my program moves toward keeping only what is necessary for breeding, I’ve made the difficult decision to find a forever home for this beautiful pair. Esme can be a picky eater. It is important new owners purchase what is needed for her diet.
Esme’s daughter, Essie, was born a bit smaller than average and received extra hand-feeding and care as a baby, which has made her especially trusting and people-oriented. She is growing wonderfully, full of personality, and absolutely adores being near her mom. These girls are deeply bonded and will only be adopted together.
Because of their coat types, Esme and Essie will require a home that truly understands the commitment of long-haired guinea pig care. They will need a large cage, preferably with fleece bedding or bath mats to help protect their coats, along with regular brushing, routine trimming, and scheduled bathing to keep them healthy and comfortable. This pair deserves a home that will spoil them, maintain their beautiful hair, and give them tons of love and attention.
I will be very selective with their placement. Ideally, I would love a family who is willing to stay in touch and keep me updated on how they are doing, as these girls hold a very special place in my heart.
Scarlet
Red and White Peruvian Sow
DOB: 2/7/25
READY NOW
AVAILABLE
$135
Scarlet is a beautiful female guinea pig with a luxurious coat and a sweet, engaging personality. I had no intentions on placing Scarlet but, my numbers are getting a bit high at the moment. She is very calm and relaxed. (especially while being held)
She is social with other piggies and can be a bit on the dominant side, so she will do best with a compatible cage mate and an adopter who understands guinea pig social dynamics. As a long-haired guinea pig, Scarlet will require regular grooming to keep her coat healthy and comfortable, and she will thrive in a home that is prepared to provide both the care and companionship she needs to truly flourish.
Alani
Rainbow Roan Teddy Sow
DOB: 12/2/24
Clementine x Moose
READY NOW
AVAILABLE
$130
Alani is a stunning Teddy sow from my breeding program who was born and raised here and has been a wonderful part of it. She has produced two gorgeous litters, and I recently chose to keep one of her babies in her place after Alani produced a very large singleton that will be beneficial to my program. Alani is truly beautiful, with excellent structure and a striking overall appearance, and while she is a smaller female, she will still need a spacious cage to thrive. She can be a bit bossy with her cage mate at times, but it is still important for her to have at least one compatible guinea pig companion. Alani is on the more timid side when meeting new people, but with patience she begins to come out of her shell; she enjoys gentle head pets and is generally calm and easygoing once she feels comfortable.
Oatmeal
Cream and White Sheba Boar
DOB: 12/18/25

PENDING ADOPTION
$115
Oatmeal is a cream and white Sheba boar from Lemon and Flynn with the sweetest, bubbliest personality. He is friendly and outgoing, calm while being held, and very interactive inside the cage.

Rescue & Surrender Program!
Alongside running my breeding program. I have a rescue and surrender process! We believe every guinea pig deserves a second chance, whether they come from shelters, surrender situations, or unexpected circumstances. By adopting from our rescue, you’re not only gaining a wonderful pet but also helping to support our ongoing efforts to save more guinea pigs. Thank you for considering adoption and for being part of the solution to give these furry friends a better life.
Hank
Black and Cream American Boar
DOB: 8/11/24
READY NOW
AVAILABLE
RESCUE
$60
Hank is an adorable young adult American boar who was born and raised right here in my program. He has had a few homes that ultimately returned him due to allergies or him simply not being the right fit for their household, so I am now seeking his true forever family where he can finally settle in and enjoy his new home. Hank is a sweet boy with a calm demeanor and does very well being handled, especially when things are kept quiet and relaxed.
While he isn’t always thrilled with constant personal interaction and can be a bit selective about his people, someone patient, gentle, and understanding could absolutely become his person. Hank has always been kind-natured and easygoing, and he tends to be on the lazier side, though a spacious 2x4 cage is still recommended so he can move around comfortably. He has never been caged with other males, so he could either go to a home experienced with bonding or live happily as a single pig.
​For those who need them, a cage and supplies are available for an additional charge, making it easy for his new family to get everything set up from day one. Hank is not only docile and affectionate, but he is also ready for a patient home where he can truly relax, feel secure, and showcase his true colors.
Moby & Toby
Moby; Golden Agouti Sheba (Mix) Boar. DOB: March 25'
Toby; Cream and Agouti Sheba Boar. DOB: 11/18/25
AVAILABLE
READY NOW
$175
RESCUE
Moby and Toby are a wonderful bonded father/son duo who came into my rescue program together and will only be adopted as a pair. They are truly special boys who balance each other perfectly and would make an amazing addition to the right home.
Moby (Dad) is around 9-10 months old and has a big, confident personality. He is very outgoing, social, and curious, and absolutely loves being out and about watching everything around him. He enjoys exploring, interacting, and being part of whatever’s happening — he’s definitely the “leader” of the pair and brings a lot of joyful energy. He is very affectionate and loves chin rubs or just lounging outside his cage.
Toby (Son) is younger and expected to develop a medium to long coat as he matures, though his final coat type will be something the adopter will need to be prepared for since it can’t be guaranteed just yet. Toby is incredibly sweet, mellow, and cuddly. He has a calm disposition, loves being held, and is such a gentle little guy.
These boys do beautifully together and have a strong, healthy bond. They will need a spacious cage, plenty of enrichment, and a family who enjoys interacting with their guinea pigs. If Toby does develop a longer coat, he may require some brushing, trimming and occasional bathing — nothing too extreme, but worth being aware of.
If you’re looking for a loving pair with personality, affection, and lots of charm, Moby and Toby may be the perfect match!​

BONDED FEMALE PIGGIES
ADOPTED
READY NOW
$175
Lemon and Peach are a bonded pair of females from my program who have been with me for quite some time and are now seeking a well-deserved retirement home together. Lemon is a stunning tri-color dilute short-haired female with beautiful red eyes and an endlessly social, loving, and calm personality, while her partner in crime, Peach, is a gorgeous Red Roan Abyssinian who adores being petted, scooped up, and doted on; she is very smart and has a big appetite for hay and treats.
These two balance each other beautifully and share a close bond, making them a joy to watch and interact with. Their gentle, people-oriented personalities would make them a wonderful fit for a family with children or for someone who is excited to spend lots of time interacting with and bonding with their guinea pigs. They will be ready to transition to their new home toward the end of January, once Lemon has finished raising her final litter.
Ideally, I would love a family who is willing to stay in touch and keep me updated on how they are doing, as these girls hold a very special place in my heart.

Beyond his looks, Galaxy is a lovely pig with a gentle presence who will thrive in a home that understands the importance of companionship. He will need to live with at least one other guinea pig so he can feel secure, happy, and socially fulfilled, making him a wonderful addition to a loving home.
Wrigley
Red & White Silkie Boar
DOB: 10/23/25
READY NOW
ADOPTED
Scarlet x Flynn
$100
SPECIAL NEEDS
Wrigley is a truly one-of-a-kind little boar with an incredibly big heart. He was born with a “cleft foot” condition that causes his wrists to turn inward, he has been gently and thoroughly handled since birth and is wonderfully patient. While his paws give him a unique look, they do not affect his mobility and he does not require any additional veterinary care. As he ages, he may be more prone to arthritis, but for now he’s active, curious, and full of life. The exact cause of his cleft foot is unknown—possibly related to linebreeding or limited space in the womb (his mom had some big babies!)—but it has never slowed him down.
Wrigley was originally misgendered at birth, which is the reason he’s now searching for a new forever home—he already had a home pending before the mix-up. Despite this little hiccup, he has grown up surrounded by love and socialization, including being housed with several other young males. He leans dominant but would absolutely benefit from a compatible cagemate. He could also be a wonderful candidate for neutering and pairing with females, or housed as a single piggy.
Because of the small callus that has developed on his paws, Wrigley must be housed on fleece liners only—no loose bedding. Bedding can irritate his wrists and cause discomfort, so fleece will keep him happy, healthy, and comfortable.
Wrigley has a beautiful long coat, so he will need regular grooming, bathing, and trimming. If you’re local, I’m happy to provide grooming services. He may also need more frequent nail trims due to the natural curve of his paws.
If you can look past his little imperfections, you’ll discover a truly incredible guinea pig. Wrigley is interactive, intelligent, cuddly, and wonderfully personable. He has so much love and joy to offer, and he will bring a bright spark of life to any home lucky enough to have him.
