biting

Hello everyone, I brought my three rescue piggies home a couple of days ago and they've started to settle. Since they're not hiding constantly now like when they first got home, they've started to show some behaviours that I'm a little concerned about. The least concerning is one of my girls...

We just got our two sows. Oreo is amazing and the sweetest thing ever- Sunshine not so much. :no: She's ok when we pick her up and do lap time then all of a sudden she will do her little nips ( which I'm ok with) but then turns into a bite and it's a hard bite. Not sure what to do and will this...

I've noticed for about a week now Beans has green/yellow marks at her bum from her using her mouth to scratch (it's very obvious as she's mostly all white) I wasn't too worried because she wasn't obsessively scratching it was just occasional. But I've noticed today she's really pulling hard at...

My pig is not quite a year old, and has recently (the past few months) developed a nipping habit when she is picked up and held for lap time. Otherwise she's very social and sweet, and loves being petted frequently in her cage. In your lap she seems relaxed and happy with her feet kicked out...

HI there, my Guinea pig is continuing to bite me, however when she does what should i do? I am aware to not hit her and i never would. Has anyone got any suggestions to help me?

I have a female guinea pig who is almost a year old and she is biting me whenever i stroke her near her tummy. She lives on her own and has never had babies. Is it just the time of year (being spring) or something else?

Hello. I'm a new pig mom and I took in a very young pig (He's roughly 2 months old. When he came to me his umbilical cord scab was still present) who became really sick due to the situation he was in before he came to live with me. Fortunately he is getting better. I've been hand feeding him the...

So I've had Beans and Toast for about a year now. Beans seems to be the domanent one, although most of the time they get on absolutely fine. When it comes to being in heat, Toast can get a bit agressive and relentless with her chasing Beans around, but no violence or anything. However, lately...

I have had many guineas in the past and no problems. My new pig has taken a liking to nibbling on my arms and it has caused me to break out in hives. I thought it was the hay so I've tried orchid grass and oat hay but the hives on my neck refused to shrink. I started to believe it was acne until...

So I've had my guinea pig for about 6 months now and at first he was fine, no issue at all, but recently (maybe a month) he has started acting very aggressive. He bites my hand for no reason, and bites hard. He bites me if I try to pet him, or if I give him food or Water. He has drawn blood. He...

Hi there, To explain the problem I'm experiencing with my youngest guinea pig i'll start by explaining the situation with the guinea pigs i own :) My last guinea pig died at the age of 7, and having grown up with guinea's i knew i wanted to get another after i had grieved his passing, So a...
