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.

Fuego
#2 Red and White Peruvian Boar
DOB: 5/2/26
Freya x Flynn
READY 6/2/26
AVAILABLE
$145
Fuego is a stunning red and white boar that I originally planned to keep for my breeding program. However, since I am also retaining his full brother, I've decided that I may not need two additional boars at this time. Because of that, Fuego is available to the right home.
This handsome boy has so much to offer. He is incredibly confident, outgoing, vocal, and always interested in what's happening around him. Fuego loves being involved and isn't shy about expressing his opinions.
His personality is larger than life, and he is already showing all the qualities that will make him a truly gorgeous adult.
Fuego is beginning to show a more dominant temperament, so his future home should be prepared for his confident nature. He would likely do best either as a single guinea pig with plenty of daily interaction and attention, or paired with a calm, steady young boar that can complement his personality.
Fuego is the kind of guinea pig that doesn't come along often. Between his striking looks, bold personality, and endless charm, whoever brings this special boy home will be a very lucky family.

DOB: 5/17/26
Winona x Squirrel
READY 6/17/26
AVAILABLE
$150
Carrot is an absolutely stunning red and white boar with beautiful red eyes that make him truly stand out. His unique coloring and striking appearance make him one of those guinea pigs that immediately catches your attention—and honestly, he makes me wish I had room for another boar myself!
Beyond his good looks, Carrot has a wonderful temperament. He is calm, curious, and enjoys observing everything going on around him. His easygoing nature makes him a great fit for a variety of homes and lifestyles, whether you're a first-time guinea pig owner, a family with children, or an experienced guinea pig enthusiast.
Carrot was raised in a social environment and will do best with the companionship of at least one other guinea pig. Having a guinea pig friend will help him stay happy, active, and confident as he grows.
With his breathtaking appearance, sweet personality, and adaptable nature, Carrot is a special little boy who is sure to make a wonderful addition to a lucky family.

Bubba
Golden Agouti, Red, and White Texel Boar
DOB: 5/18/26
Indiago x Squirrel
READY 6/18/26
AVAILABLE
$150
Bubba is a stunning Texel boar from one of our recent litters. As he matures, he will develop the long, dense, curly coat that makes Texels such a unique and eye-catching breed. Combined with his gorgeous coloring and distinctive markings, Bubba is sure to grow into a truly handsome adult.
Not only is Bubba beautiful, but he also has a wonderful personality. He is already proving to be a confident, laid-back little guy who takes new experiences in stride. His calm and friendly nature makes him an excellent candidate for a family with children or for someone looking to add another male guinea pig to their herd.
Because Bubba was raised in a social environment, he will need the companionship of at least one other guinea pig in his new home. He would thrive with a compatible male friend and is sure to bring plenty of personality, charm, and cuddles to his future family.
With his striking looks and easygoing temperament, Bubba is a special little boy who is sure to capture hearts wherever he goes.

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).

Stella
#4 Cream and White Silkie Sow
DOB: 5/2/26
Freya x Flynn
READY 6/2/26
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.
Stella will need at least one guinea pig companion in her future home.
