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!
Wimzee
Tortoiseshell Texel Sow
DOB: 4/19/2023
Waverly x Randal
READY NOW
AVAILABLE
$85
Wimzee is a beautiful Texel sow who is retiring from my breeding program and looking for a loving forever home where she can be spoiled and enjoy her well-deserved retirement. She has been cutt short recently due to motherhood. Wimzee has a very sweet, easygoing, and interactive personality. She is typically calm when being held and truly enjoys attention, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a gentle and affectionate pig. She also shows a lot of interest in other guinea pigs and enjoys their presence.
Wimzee does have a slightly more dominant personality, so slow and thoughtful introductions will be important. She would likely do best paired with one other cagemate (especially a younger pig) or in a more one-on-one companionship setting. She would not be the best fit for a large herd environment.
As a Texel, Wimzee has a beautiful long, curly coat that will require regular grooming, including brushing and occasional trimming, to keep her comfortable and looking her best.
Wimzee is ready to move on to her retirement home. She deserves a home where she will be pampered, loved, and appreciated for the wonderful girl she is.
Arlo
Red-eyed White Teddy (mix) Boar
DOB: 6/14/25
Retiring Breeder
READY NOW
AVAILABLE
$130
Arlo is a very unique mixed-breed Teddy boar who is now looking for his forever home. He was originally purchased to bring new blood into a developing program, and his one-of-a-kind look and genetics make him especially special.
He has a soft, plush coat with a “wooly” texture that is both eye-catching and easy to maintain. Unlike longer-coated breeds, Arlo’s fur does not require regular brushing or trimming, making him a great option for someone looking for a low-maintenance guinea pig.
Personality-wise, Arlo is an absolute sweetheart. He is incredibly calm, very loving, and overall just a relaxed, “chill” boy who enjoys attention and human interaction. He would do wonderfully in a home looking for a laid-back and affectionate companion.
Arlo has previously been used as a breeding male, which can heighten hormones. Because of this, I cannot guarantee how he will bond with other boars. Aany introductions would need to be done carefully in his new home, and adopters should be prepared to take that chance. He may do best as a single boar with plenty of human interaction, or he could be neutered and housed with females (he is not currently neutered).
Sophia
Red and White American Sow
DOB: 4/29/26
Rowyn x Arlo
READY 5/29/26
AVAILABLE
$110
Sophia is a beautiful red and white American guinea pig with a bright, expressive personality already beginning to shine through. She is very vocal, curious, and loves to know what’s going on around her. Whether she’s chatting during feeding time or exploring her surroundings, Sophia brings a fun and interactive energy to the herd.
Her temperament is expected to be very balanced and adaptable. Sophia’s mom is more energetic and outgoing, while her dad is extremely mellow and laid back, giving her a wonderful mix of both personalities. Because of this, her personality will likely be very moldable as she grows, making her a great fit for many different households and lifestyles.
As a young guinea pig raised in a social environment, Sophia will need at least one guinea pig companion in her future home. She would thrive with a friendly cagemate and a family willing to continue building her confidence and social nature.
Lola
#3 Golden Agouti, Red, & White Peruvian Sow
DOB: 5/2/26
Scarlet x Griffin
READY 6/2/26
AVAILABLE
$150
Lola is an absolutely gorgeous golden agouti Peruvian with eye-catching markings and an incredible overall look. She has the kind of presence that immediately stands out, and honestly, she is the first baby from this litter that has made me stop and seriously consider keeping her myself. From her flashy coloring to her structure and coat potential, Lola is truly something special.
As a Peruvian, Lola will grow long, flowing hair that will require regular grooming and maintenance throughout her life. Her coat is expected to become even more stunning as she matures, making her a wonderful fit for someone who appreciates the beauty and care involved with long-haired guinea pigs.
These babies are expected to be very social, calm for handling, and easygoing companions with wonderful dispositions. She is already showing signs of being a sweet, personable little pig who enjoys interaction and attention.
Like all guinea pigs raised in a herd environment, Lola will need at least one guinea pig companion in her future home. She would thrive with a family willing to continue her socialization, grooming routine, and give her plenty of love and attention as she grows.

He is very vocal, spunky, and full of character, always ready to wheek for attention or see what’s going on around him. His outgoing and expressive nature makes him a very fun and interactive companion.
As a long-haired guinea pig, Sam’s coat will continue to grow and require regular grooming and maintenance to keep him comfortable and healthy. His striking markings combined with his flowing coat will make him absolutely stunning as he matures.
Sam has a confident and lively personality, but he also enjoys interaction and handling, making him a wonderful fit for someone looking for a piggy with both personality and charm. He would thrive in a home that enjoys social, expressive guinea pigs and is prepared for the upkeep that comes with a long-haired breed.
While it is recommended that Sam have a guinea pig companion, he may also do well as a single guinea pig in the right home if given plenty of attention, interaction, and enrichment from his people.

ON HOLD FOR PROGRAM
$150
Stella is a beautiful cream and white Silkie guinea pig with a soft, elegant coat and an even softer personality. She is very sweet, gentle, and cuddly, often leaning into attention and enjoying calm interaction with people. Her affectionate nature makes her an especially lovely companion for someone looking for a guinea pig that enjoys being held and handled.
As a Silkie, Stella will grow a long, flowing coat that will require regular grooming and maintenance to keep it clean, healthy, and tangle-free.
Stella has a calm and loving temperament and is expected to continue developing into a very easygoing, people-oriented guinea pig. She would do especially well in a quieter, gentle home where she can continue building confidence and enjoying regular interaction.
