Cream guinea pig with brown ear freckle

I lost my cream-colored guinea pig yesterday around 3pm. She’s fluffy, about the size of a small potato, with a tiny brown freckle on her left ear and she wears a light orange harness with a tiny bell. We were by the West Acres Mall entrance on 13th Ave S when she bolted from my bag and vanished into the crowd. This little furball means a lot to me—it's sentimental and I’m really worried. If you found her, I’ll pick her up tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.

Calico guinea pig with white star patch

I lost my calico guinea pig Pico yesterday around 6pm near the West Acres Mall parking lot off 32nd Ave S in Fargo. Pico is about the size of a softball, around 1.2 pounds, with orange, black, and white fur and a tiny white star patch on his back. He wears a blue harness with a small bell, and he squeaks softly when you pick him up. This little guy is incredibly friendly but a bit shy, and he's a big deal to my daughter—having him around has helped her with anxiety. If you found him, please email [email protected] or text 555-0134 so we can bring Pico home.
