abyssinian

I've had a rescue long hair Abyssinian, Ermintrude, for 6 months now and she is awful with haircuts. She hates being touched or petted in general and despite being very friendly this is just a personality trait of hers. She is a very dominant guinea pig who puts up with nothing from anyone. She...

Hello everyone, I want to get a female Abyssinian guinea pig. The problem is I can't find one anywhere! Rescue? Nope. Shelter? Uh-uh. Even pet stores come up empty. I can't find any breeders either! Oh, I can find plenty of paired piggies, but I only can take one! (I have a guinea to bond the...

You guys have absolutely NO clue what I just got yesterday. I am an OBSESSED piggy mother now. Everyone, meet Mocha! Mocha is a very very tiny Abyssinian pig and she is super skittish and shy. She’s trying to be friends with her new sissy (Butterscotch) who has lived at home for a month...

Sadly my beloved Luna (1 year 2 months old) has suffered a stroke. I visited the vet immediately but because he didn’t see it happen he didn’t want to say it was for certain but prescribed me antibiotics. She drools on one side (the weak side) and has lost her balance and tilts to the one side...

Two bundles of joy were born under our roof today! We had an accidental pregnancy between two of our rescues when our mischievous Silkie-Mix male tore open his C&C cage wall. (We have many more reinforcements now, and have definitely learned our lesson there.) Our crazy haired texel/Abyssinian...

GUINEA PIG LOVERS! I need your help with my 8 month old Abyssinian guinea pig, Ginger! She was in my arms and got startled by a loud sound and jumped out of my arms to the ground. She landed on her feet, thankfully, but I noticed her lip was bleeding just below her mouth. It didn’t bleed for...

Hey all, I was reading through some of your post and saw that Texels are prone to fungal infections, would Abyssinians be prone as well? When I picked my little guy up from the pet shop, he had a bite mark just over his left ear. The lady in the shop said the other pigs had bullied him because...

Here's my beautiful boys Keiko (brown aby, approx 3-4 months old) and Milo (mainly white aby, just 6 weeks old). Keiko got curious about my phone during this piggy photo shoot!

Hi, I am a new guinea pig owner, have had my newest furry friend for just over a month now. I've noticed some odd behaviour. I have a young Abyssinian boar, who's name is Keiko. Keiko always seems to tilt his head up, as if he's craning to look at the ceiling, though theres nothing interesting...
