baby guinea pig

I am planning on bringing home two baby Abyssinian girls that 4 weeks old. I found them on some random website. How do I know if they are healthy and are getting proper care? Because I don’t want to bring home unhealthy piggies. Also is 31 square foot cage too big?

My babies when they were 6 weeks old and the last pics are of them yesterday at 3 years old! I love looking back on old photos of how small they were especially because they are so big now! 🥰

Hello, I'm a new piggy owner and I am worried for my male baby guinea pig, he's about 1-2 months old. 2 weeks ago, I got him from a pet shop. Bringing him home, I noticed he got a white hard thing in his hair on his neck (Idk how to insert an image). I didn't notice him excessively scratch and...

Hi everyone, I really need advice as I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and worried. I bought two female Guinea pigs (6 weeks old) from a woman who had had a litter. I chose her instead of a pet store as I saw the baby Guinea pigs were handled by her kids regularly and I thought it’s be good to...

I am very worried as my month and a half old guinea is not eating any veggies, I’ve done lots of research and I see that guinea pigs need a lot of vegetables in their diet... I am wondering if I should bring her to the vet but I don’t want to pay $100 just for them to tell me that she’s just...

I recently bought apple chew woodsticks online and I read somewhere that I should put in the freezer for about a day or two just to make sure there are no insects that might cause harm to my girl. What are your thoughts about chew woodsticks for baby guinea pigs?

Heya everyone! So I have two baby guinea pigs; Honk & Hank, I’ve had them for around a month now and absolutely adore them! 😁 I just thought I’d film a bit of lap time with Honk to see if his behaviour/noises indicate being comfortable/happy or annoyed 😊 I’ve never owned guinea pigs before...

Honestly, I can't tell if it's a cry for help or food, but it still gives me a good laugh. Vivi, my 7 minth old mom of 4 new borns will stand and the middle of her cage and scream/wheek until I either feed her or take her away from the kids. After a while she starts wheeking again and I put her...

Hello! I’m new here as I have just got my little guinea pigs 😁 they are 2 months old and came home with me 5 days ago now.

HELP! So I've had two boys for two years both just over two years of age. Sadly recently I have lost one, he got poorly and had to be put to sleep :( . My boy Dexter has done amazing since, at first I could tell he missed him but six weeks on he's back to normal. He's a very fat fluffy pipgie...

Screenshot Screenshot Screenshot Screenshot At first I thought maybe it was just tangled hair and I was gonna cut it off then the more I felt, the more I realized that it might be connected to his skin? He's 6 weeks old and lives with his brother baby who is also 6 weeks and does not have...

i have had my sow, amy, for four years now and sadly she has been kept alone for two years. i have never tried resocializing her after my last sow, cookie, passed away (two years ago). the reason i haven’t tried pairing her up isn’t because she seems rude or i believe she wouldn’t do well with...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could please help me, I have been doing lots of research for about 6/7 months because I am getting 2 baby American guinea pigs and I can't find any information on weather or not RUBBER toys are safe for guinea pigs. I was wondering if anyone could please help me...

So Maple joined the family on Thursday (I changed her name to Maple, I just think she suits it and it fits in with the food theme, Maple syrup :drool:). Beans had been a bit lonely since losing Toast and wasn't quite herself anymore. Enter Maple. She is from the Ayr guinea pig rescue centre...

I'm getting 2 baby boys next week. I've been reading up on their diet and I'm getting confused and unsure of what to listen to and what not.. the breeder has told me which food to buy for them which is fine but it's the extras they need to be fed for vitamin C.. there is so much information I...

I got my first piggy (Nymeria) 5 days ago on my birthday and, even though she's a bit of a nervous one, everything has been fine. Yesterday, while buying things for her, I decided to get her a friend. The baby piggy is around 2 months old and was very calm at first. After I introduced her to...

I've had a baby guinea pig for about a month now and the whole time I've been noticing she sneezes. It's usually never excessive, but yesterday she sneezed four times close together. Today it was once. She doesn't seem to have any other symptoms of a URI. She eats like a horse and drinks. She...
