  Wish List:

GARBAGE BAGS! oh yes we are always in need of these at least .08mil or thicker.
Paper Towels, any brand will be greatly appreciated.
TOWELS!, old towels are in great need at this time as our over the years have become threads of their former selves. Please no sheets, or articles of clothing.
Cleaning Solution: Simple Green, Fabulouso, and Vinegar (white or apple cider).
Bedding, the paper kind/any brand. We can always use the wood based beddings but we have several fellows who have allergies and must be kept on paper bedding. It is a bit pricey for our limited budget but some how we will keep them on nothing else.
Phone Cards to pay for long distance calls to those folks with questions and needing help with their guinea pigs. 
Timothy . bags or bales, we consume a lot of it!
Pelleted Food in unopened bags or containers.
Treats for guinea pigs. Any kind, it would be nice for them to have some of these things too. 
Bird toys: Bells, mirrors, anything not made of hide/string/latex.

Clean cardboard boxes between 12" x 12" and not larger then 24" x 24".
