Hi cmd, we used to rescue them , but as I work such long hours and also study I cant do this any longer.....We dont breed as I believe there are way to many piggies out there and people see them as a disposable pet....Hence y we had so many rescued ones ( I had about 100 at one stage, they have all found new forever homes ) As for nutering you most certainly can ....I have a special boy called Sebastian and he lives VERY happily with 12 Ladies lol.....he is nutered , but this must be done by a cavy/guinea pig/exotics vet as its a bit tricky as they are sooooo small .
The disablilties range from broken leg to eyes missing ( as in poked out ) and yes some people are extremely cruel.....I have 2 boys that were extremely shy and nervous as they lived with 38 other pigs in a cage about 1metre square ( they were in an extrememly bad way when we got them, eats bitten , sores , fur missing ) but they have now come to trust us and will take food out of our hands now.....All my piggies have a story some as simple as just not wanted any more , but some as terrible as covered in mange , suffering bumble foot ( kinda like a huge ulcer on there foot and so sore they cannot put pressure on it )and fitting ...this lil piggy was on deaths door , she had no fur at all and squeald from the pain whenever I held her......she now has a name ( Princess ) and a beautiful coat of black hair and loves cuddles , her foot healed extremely well, ( thanks to betadine and colloidial silver ) .....so sorry to write so much but even though we dont rescue any more its still dear to my heart
