advice

So by now I'm guessing Steve has gone through his teenage hormone stage. He's testicles have descended etc and he's definitely bigger then he was. Last night and now tonight (can't speak for the day as I wasn't here all day) They seem a bit uptight with each other. No full on biting or any real...

Hello, A couple hours back we left our guinea pig out and now he is lost. We usually keep him out in our brick patio(?) so he can walk around explore and eat some of the grass that grows nearby. He usually always stays in one place, and we naively left him out and assumed that that would...

heya! My boyfriends mum picked a bucket of grass for our piggies and she got it from her friends farm. Can guinea pigs eat any type of grass? will the grass from the farm be okay for them to eat? Is anyone able to identify the type of grass this is? It is a little fuzzy on the stems too -...

heya! So I have two pairs of boar + sow. They are seperate because the two boars originally had a fall out, so they can't be put back together now. Would it be fine to introduce one sow, to the other pair, during floor time and vice versa? Like would the other boar get jealous or smell the...

So I don't know why but I've got to worrying about my two boars Mo & Steve falling out...I just realise that it could still happen and I dread of one day finding one of them hurt when I come home or something. Maybe it's because I've been on holiday and come back so I'm still getting back into...

Hope this is the right thread (it links to travel I suppose?). At the end of this week I'm going on holiday (sorry guys I post alot of worried holiday threads...) not abroad this time but taking a 'doggy' holiday to Wales! Now Mo is a pro now and us staying once again with my nan who had him...

Hi guys me again lol. So I'm not too freaked out but I have noticed that Steve does mini sneezes (though they don't sound like Mo's) it's not a wheezy sound or anything worrying it just seems to be a light sneeze. He's eating drinking etc everything fine and during floortime was like a wind up...

Okay, so roughly two-three weeks ago my two boys (Fred and George) were separated from each other due to Fred getting an eye injury from a fight with George. The new cage I had gotten for Fred is the exact same as the one they shared, so they each have 8 sq ft each to roam around in as opposed...

Just read on my local communities Facebook page that a snake has escaped- a corn snake mind yet I'm still worried. I don't fear snakes so I'm not scared for myself (maybe my mum though who is :lol!:) I've cared for a boa while the owner was away and let me tell you that was a BIG snake so I'm...

Kind of a strange thing to put up but if anyone could give me a message I would really appreciate it. I'm needing advice on wether or not to rehome my piggies. If someone doesn't mind me giving them a quick message, preferably a lady who has children :) It's kind of about something I don't...

Hello, I'm Kate and have just joined the forum! I have two guineapigs Pippin(4 years), and Bertie (2 years). I am in need of some advice for Pip, as all of a sudden he has had a sneezing "fit" where he sneezed approx 10 times in 6/7 minutes. I took him out of his cage and he had a little play...

hi there! I have an elderly Pig at 7 years old and she has been the happiest, healthiest pig ever until recently. I noticed that on her neck and stomach area she has lost a lot of hair over time it hasn't been drastically and I'm wondering why? :( Someone suggested that it could be dental...

I'm sorry I realise this isn't a piggy problem but wondered if you could help anyway- it's appreciated. I'm really worried about my boy. Some of you may know that I have a rabbit called Bigwig. He must 7 years old by now (6 at the youngest) and he's never had any health problems or really any...

For those of you who don't know i love German Sheperds or Alsations as they are otherwise known. Like LOVE LOVE THEM! Well I've been working at a kennels and cattery recently - one that looks after pets while the owners are away on holiday etc. (Though there are two ten year old cats - Benji...

Hi there:) I posted a few months back wondering if my new adopted piggie had some sort of URI or pneumonia but after going to the vets, he reckoned the coughing she does is related to having an extremely aggressive respiratory infection for 2 months when she was a few months old (this was with...

I woke up this morning and whilst I was cleaning the piggys cage, I saw this white substance on the fleece. I'm assuming it's bladder sludge, and I'm very concerned. I'm not sure who it is at this stage so I have separated Fifi and Flash for a short time until I can find out. I have a vet...

Right I've finally done it! Mo has a friend which he is currently getting acquainted to. (Mo has never looked soooo huge!) Okay so he seemed a little shocked at first and a bit jumpy. Then I got a little worried cos he kept nibbling the little ones fur and ears - one of which he caught and...

So hi guys it's me again (Mo's mummy). I just wanted to say to those who saw my thread on his 'squeaking while peeing'I haven't heard him since the last time he did it but he does still do calcium deposits. Would love you guys to drop the best and healthiest brand of pellets I could try that...

Hi, everyone! I recently adopted my first guinea pigs, a pair of 4 or 5-month-old boars. I want to share a description of their setup and the care routine I've been doing to make sure that if I'm making any mistakes or if you have any suggestions on how to make their lives even better, I can...

Hi there! I recently adopted a pig from a girl at my college who could no longer support her. The little piggie is called Willow and is coming up for 7 months. The reason I took Willow is because her previous owner told me she had a severe respiratory infection for a month when she initially...
