advice needed

Hello I have two older piggies who are four going on five this year, they don't have a problem popcorning and running around as they do it all the time whenever their cage gets cleaned, or if they're having floor time, Oxbow has some joint supplement treats and I was thinking of buying it but I...

I recently got Guinea pigs about 2 weeks ago. One seems perfectly healthy and the other seemed healthy for the most part when we first got her. We noticed one of her ears had no fur but her other ear did. Her ear was super red but it’s calmed down a lot since we’ve had her (one of her ears still...

I made a big mistake. I feel like a fool and I am beside myself. I have had guinea pigs for 5 years straight and have always taken great pride in the care I take of my boys. My baby Marcel (9mo) has struggled with respiratory problems since I got him. He has been through around five different...

So we recently took our boy (2 years 5 months) to the vet, and he had an operation to remove five bladder stones. Before this operation I assumed his food intake had gone down since he was doing small, thin poos instead of the regular sized ones. Anyway, we took him home from the operation and...

Our pigs stay in the living room with us, their smell isn’t bad as we clean them regularly but there is still a smell and I worry when guests are over that it’s actually worse than we think and we’re just used to it you know? Saw this pet deodoriser wall plug in in the shop and thought it...

After 6 years of looking after them both, one of my guinea pigs died yesterday morning. I still havent really processed it and I just have a general awful feeling of loss but I really dont know what I can do for my remaining piggie, Panda. He's also 6 years old and quite aggressive (it took...

For some context: this is my 1yo male guinea pig who I just rehomed 3 weeks ago with his brother! In the video I was holding him and petting him and he was making these noises? Not sure if they’re happy or annoyed squeaks? I think annoyed? He seemed to squeak specifically when I petted his back...

Hi, I could really do with some advice about whether of not to keep trying to find a friend for my almost 5 year old sow Puffin. Over Christmas she lost her sister Panda who she had lived with her whole life. We have since tried to bond her with a 4 year old sow, but that failed, we tried...

I've recently taken over the care of 2 pigs from my sister, theyre both male and have been together since birth. Ive recently moved them into a 2x4 c&c cage, they've been in there for around 3 days and suddenly they seem to be constantly fighting for dominance. Could this be as a result of...

Hello, I've been concerned about my skinny because he started pooping very little like a week ago. Now usually I would take him into the vet because little poop means little eating but hes had small poops before because he can be very picky with food. but now I'm worried because his eyes are...

Hello, I've noticed a couple times now that my skinny pig will randomly get red ears. He a pale pig so its very noticeable in comparison to his body. He pretty healthy boy, the only difference I've noticed are his poops are a little smaller than usual and sometimes dehydrated but he does eat a...

Hi, I’m really new to this and this is my first post but I was hoping anyone could help me I have two female guinea pigs who are around 7 and 8 weeks old and I have noticed that they both hide behind their hidey house instead of going inside it to hide. Is this normal? Is there anything else I...

Hello GPF, first post here. Little info: GF and i have 2 guinea pigs, Moses and Ramses, both dark skinny-pigs. Ramses had a small zit-like growth removed, where he recieved anasthesia and was on some pain-killers and we had to feed him some liquid powder if he didn't eat. He seemed to recover...

Hi all. I was wondering what others do to keep their piggies warm in the winter (if like me they keep theirs outside in a hutch with no access to inside the house or a shed etc). I am going to buy more fleece liners (as they have fleece liners for their sleeping area but not for the main part...

Hi everyone, it's my first post on here! I have an issue with my guinea pig and am curious to know if anyone had a familiar issue like this with their guinea pig? Yesterday I had noticed a bump/lump on my guineapig's back. When touching it, my guineapig seemed very irritated by it. He is...
