chewing

Hello, Firstly, I live in an area of New York with an extremely slim array of options for vets. No emergency vets see guinea pigs, and each of the few exotic vet options are closed for Christmas tomorrow. My Bercy is doing this aggressive almost chewing motion and flexing his cheeks very wide...

Do all Guinea pigs like toys? I had two previously, who lived for 7 years. They never played with toys, and it got chalked up to their previous home where they lived for the first few months of their lives not having any. Now I have two new ones who also don’t seem interested in any of the...

so about five months ago (give or take) i got my guinea pigs a cage with cloroplast and fleece. But recently they keep eating the cloroplast, it’s specifically one spot, i give them plenty of chew toys and wooden chips and whatnot, i give them a mountain of fresh hay every hour, i give them food...

I'm the dad of Diego and Manny, they are a bonded pair about 3 years of age. When I first thought about getting guinea pigs everyone says that they are going to chew, so make things chew proof or give them things to chew on. But I've had my boys for almost a month and.... They don't chew. I...

I've been happy with my piggies and they are very healthy and getting everything they need. Even though both are unneutered boars but I've been convinced they're best buddies, haven't been fighting, they sleep in the same cuddle bed every night despite there being 10+ other different hideys...

Hey! It’s been a minute. My two girls Miso and Tonkotsu are adjusting well. However, I’ve recently discovered that they’ve chewed a hole in the canvas side cover of their cage! It’s at the divider in the middle of the cage underneath their hammock where they like to hide and sleep. I don’t...

Hey, I feel like all I talk about is Kronk and his tunnel and I’m sorry about that but I’ve been worrying about something and didn’t want to sound silly but I think I just have to ask. Will the boys hurt their teeth chewing on the hay tunnel? The sound that it makes when they’re chewing on it...

not sure if the video will work but I will try. Penelope had some sharp inner points filed of her back molars. 4 days later, she is still eating like this. On pain meds and gut medicine. Does anyone have experience with this.

Hi! My guinea pig Butternut will not stop eating the plastic in his c&c cage. He’s eaten so much of it. He’s about 10 weeks old, and lives with an older boar who’s about 4.5, but very active, and they get on really well - there has never been any aggression (even teeth chattering) from the...

Ok so both my girls like to chew the plastic on there pee pads and even if there hidden they pull them out and chew on them anyway. How do I get them to stop

Hello all, I'm very worried about my guinea pig. I have an emergency guinea pig specialist vet appointment tomorrow morning. A couple of days ago I noticed my 3 and a half year old female guinea pig taking longer to eat than usual. She was chewing but she was taking ages to consume...

Yesterday, I noticed a hole in my cage liner (that I bought from Piggy Bedspreads if anyone wants to know). It was only through the first layer. There are 3 layers. Today, this morning, they (specifically one guinea pig, I'm pretty sure it was her) had chewed all the way down to the coroplast...

One of my piggies, Sakura has been chewing on the fabric of my clothing, the buttons on my shirts and jeans, she also scratches me and runs up to my shoulder and sits their like a parrot. Also, one she had a wire in her mouth, about to chew it, but I swiped it before she could chew. I give her...

I just checked on him right now and he’s making weird faces. Like he has something stuck in his mouth. I know my old guinea pig would make these faces when she was having trouble eating, so it’s just making me worried. I’m hoping it will correct itself soon, maybe it’s just a piece of hay stuck...

Hello. I have a couple guinea pigs called Disco and Diva. Both are just under 2 years old. About 12 days ago as I was about to feed them their breakfast, I noticed Diva was limping. We took him to the vet the following day, as it was a Sunday, and the vet thought he had a sprain. Gave us a...

My guinea pig was in a glass tank for the first 4 and a half months of her life. I bult her a cage (a very large one) and all she does is chew on the bars like she wants out. Is this normal? She has also started asking to be picked up and then biting and she screams loudly if I leave her alone...

I have a new 3 month old Amercan shorthair female that does not seem to want to chew on anything except the inside of a paper tube I made for her which is in her playpen She gets plenty of timothy hay, the proper veggies and some alfalfa. Her teeth are a fine length so no problem there. Will...

I recently introduced a new piggie to my herd and she is a Peruvian with luscious locks. I have a few fiesty girls who put her in her place from time to time but I have one pig, who happens to my oldest, who is extremely lovable and docile- Marm. I recently had to put Marm's 'cage mate' to sleep...

Hi, I rescued a female piggy and her 6 week old pup a couple weeks ago. Her name is Harley and she's approx. 6 months old. The rescue has a great, established reputation and Harley was vet checked and cleared for adoption. She is very skinny. I can feel her ribs, pelvic bone and she's got skinny...
