cold

Does any one have any experience or advice on electric heaters for a shed? The pigs are free range so it can not go on the floor - must be wall or ceiling mounted. Mains electric will be installed in the shed though there isn't any currently. I've been looking at thermostat controlled green...

The backstory: I bought my two guinea pigs from Pets at Home (due to lack of better knowledge at the time). Unsurprisingly, they are victims of bad breeding. They are now 5 years old but in very good shape for their age, not yet showing signs of aging at all. Due to the bad breeding, Loki's...

The winter is here now, and it's getting cold. My piggies aren't happy with veg from the fridge so do you have any suggestions for baked treats I could give them? Something warm to keep them happy would be great!

So, a family member has a cold, and I read that when a human has a cold they're vulnerable to bacterial infections that can be passed easily to guinea pigs. I tried telling him not to stroke the boys but he just stroked Godfrey's head:hb:will he be okay? Will wipe with a baby wipe just in case...

My guinea has a sniffley nose but no discharge or eyes crusted up. She's still eating a lot and moving around like a bouncing ball with her friends. It's late Saturday now. I have a vet's appointment for Monday afternoon anyway. Do I need to try and move it forward or should Monday be early...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this, but keep looking up guinea pig symptoms and they don't all match up with what my pig is experiencing. So, I got him about a two weeks ago from Petco, and he's two months old. He did great for the first week, but now he's acting kind of weird. I take him out for...

Hello everyone, I brought two baby guinea pigs today that are 8 weeks old, they're called Alice and Dinah (I really hope some people get that reference!) (Dinah is said like Diner) (My avatar is a picture of them!) I would like to know what veggies and fruit they should/shouldn't be fed? I had...

hi, I was wondering at what temperature at night people start to use their heat pads? I have read through lots of threads but can't see a temperature that people start to use it by? My piggies are in an outside hutch in a sheltered part of the garden and will be throughout winter. They have...
