Color Disclaimer & Temperament
-
Because pictures of our babies are taken at an early age, colors and markings may slightly change.
For example: Dalmatian babies may develop larger spots that on occasion can fill in.
-
We do not guarantee colors and/or markings.
-
We do our best to deliver well socialized and happy babies. However, every animal has it's own personality and therefore we can not guarantee temperament.
Reserving one of our Babies:
-
The first thing we ask you do, after reading this entire page, is to kindly fill out our Adoption Application.
-
All of our babies can be viewed at the Available Babies page of our website. The website is always up to date with the most current information. By clicking on each individual picture, you will be able to see additional pictures of every baby and their personal information such as; DOB, approximate ready by date, price, etc.
-
If you are interested in a specific baby, we kindly ask that you contact us first before making a deposit. Sometimes the baby might have been spoken for and in that event it is most likely that he/she may not be available to anyone else to reserve. Once you have contacted us, either by a phone call, text, email, Facebook or Instagram messenger and we confirm the availability of that specific baby of your choice, you will be able to reserve him/her by clicking on his/her picture, then adding the baby to the cart and checking out.
-
The deposit is $52 non-refundable which includes a $2 PayPal convenience fee that is not applied to your deposit. The $50 will be applied to the purchase of your piggy. The remaining balance is due in CASH ONLY at the time of pick up.
-
In the event that you prefer coming to see our babies prior to reserving one, you can schedule a "Meet and Greet" appointment with us for a small fee. Please read our "Meet and Greet" paragraph below.
-
If you require shipping, please read our "Shipping" paragraph below.
Pick Up
-
The "ready by" date is a close estimate of the time your baby will be ready to go. However, because we will NOT allow any of our babies to leave without the required weight, it is not guaranteed they will be ready on that specific date. If your baby were to require extra time, you will be notified by us.
-
Once you are notified that your baby is ready for pick up, you will need to make all reasonable efforts to arrange a date and time for the pick up your piggy.
-
If there will be a delay in picking up on the agreed date from the customers side, you must notify us immediately. We will no longer hold babies past 7 days after your agreed date unless other arrangements have been made and are acceptable.
-
Pick ups are strictly by appointment only. We ask that you kindly be on time for your appointment.
-
Please also note, that for the safety and well being of our babies, and to protect your investment, IF you are not purchasing one of our complete cage setup packages, you MUST submit pictures of your complete cage setup, including all accessories in it, prior to scheduling a pick up day and time. Please see below for cage requirements. If you need help selecting certain items or have a doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us prior to purchasing any items. We are here to help you.
No Cage, No Piggy, No Exceptions!
-
For the convenience of our customers, we offer cage setups and accessories. For more information please check out our supplies page.

Submitting Cage Setup Picture
If you have decided that you will not be purchasing one of our cage packages, when submitting your cage setup pictures, it is important that in order to avoid any delays with pick up or shipping, that you please make sure that you have the correct size cage, accessories and materials. If you need help selecting your items, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help and make this as smooth as possible. Below is a list of all the items you will need.

Meet and Greet
We encourage you to come and handle a few of the piggies before making a decision. Remember, that a cavy will be a part of your family, and like any other pet will need a lot of handling and affection.
That is why we have decided to add "MEET & GREET" as part of our services. That way you can make sure that a piggy will be the right pet for you.
Our fee is $35 non-refundable per appointment and needs to be paid in advance prior to scheduling an appointment.
We will ensure that you are fully educated before you leave, so you don't have to regret any precipitated decision that are usually made by impulse buyers.
In the event you decide to purchase a piggy from us, the $35 will be credited towards the purchase of your piggy of choice. No babies will be allowed to leave unless, you have previously sent us an approved picture of your entire cage setup including all accessories, OR you are purchasing one of our cage setup packages. Sorry, no exceptions.
Our "MEET & GREET" session usually takes about an hour depending on how many questions you may have.
Special Note: It is important that you understand that "Meet and Greets" are ONLY to come and meet the babies that are listed as "ready now" on the available babies page of our website. If the baby you are interested in coming to see is not ready until a future date, that means that they are still to young too show. For those babies we can not bring them out for you to meet because of how small and fragile they are. Sorry, no exceptions!
