As you say, you can rehome them properly later if you need to. Also babies could be in danger of becoming snake food. Sadly not all snake owners are ethical.
I like the idea of "charging" and then when the future owner checks out, giving the animals for free.
I check the shelter web site for pets in general, but guinea pigs in particular. I take on the older ones because they are less likely to be adopted. I have had some fun times with my rescues. Rosie only lived 15 more months after I got her, but they were a fun 15 months.

I never thought of that. Do research labs still want animals like that. I guess it depends on what they are doing. Psychology researchers could still use strays and some of their work is extremely cruel.
I'm picking them up tomorrow morning. My husband thinks I'm mad but I feel it's something I need to do and I can rehome them at a later date. Don't know what sex they are as the people who got them said they didn't know, but at least they can stay together for a while yet.
