Calico guinea pig with blue harness
Description
Hi, I’m Amina. I lost my calico guinea pig yesterday around 3:15pm. Her name is Nibbles. She escaped from her cage while we were at the Watertown Public Library on Main Street, near the reference desk. She’s small, about a pound and a half, with calico fur in orange, black, and white, plus a white bib on her chest and a tiny black spot on her left ear. She wears a blue fleece harness with a tiny silver bell. She’s very friendly but shy, and my daughter is crushed—we really need her back. If you spotted a little guinea pig around that area, please drop a note here and we’ll arrange pickup.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
