Hey, I'm into knitting and I was wondering if there's a safe yarn or string-like material I could use to make a cozy hay bed or a napping spot? I thought I'd ask here because everyone's so much friendlier when I feel like I'm asking silly questions. On Reddit, you can get attacked for not...

I adopted my girls - Missy and Margot a month ago. They were living in a cramped ferplast and I’ve since upgraded them to a 2x4. I bought them a large wooden house it was made bespoke. I didn’t realise that the wood was untreated until I noticed that true top of the house when I’ve created a hay...

Hello! Please post any Guinea Pig DIY treat recipes below! (I don't feed my guinea pigs anything baked I can freeze them but prefer not to.) Thank you! :D

Heya folks, so I'm building a large indoor set up, I'm creating a stand out of MDF and thats something I've worked with plenty, I hate it, but it's what I have a bunch of and I have built plenty out of it before. HOWEVER the complicated part. I don't want to use MDF on the main cage/hutch parts...

Hi all, we had been using loo Rolls stuffed with hay as a quick way to add extra hay before school/work. our proper hay racks take time to fill so we do that later when there is more time. One of our 8 week old sows got her head and shoulders stuck in a loo roll today. She is fine and was...

I was hoping for opinions and advice for a DIY cage I'm in the process of designing! I was originally inspired by the Squeak Dreams (off you tubes) DIY cage and made this design (unsure on including the platform or not at the moment) for my two piggies based on that using contiboard and...

Hi, you may have seen me posting on the forum a little bit lately but I have been trying to find the right cage for my two boars. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that could help me, maybe by explaining what you have done for your pigs? The space I have is probably around 1 metre by...

I'm attempting to grow more food for my pigs (currently trying to get Carrot, celery, lettuce and fennel to grow. I'm also going to grow wheatgrass for them). I heard that sprouts in general can be really beneficial, but I don't know what types I can actually grow for the pigs. Anyone tried this...

Hello! I'm new to this forum, hello to you all! I have a question for those of you that use u-haul padded fleece liners or have made them yourself :) I am a new owner of two adorable 6-month old girls. I recently upgraded their cage to a 3x5 C&C so they have tons of room to run around! I...

I want to thank everyone who helped me and gave me advice on how to build a suitable DIY guinea pig cage! Our family of three went from 120cm x 80cm to this huge guinea pig paradise. There are three floors which are all connected via fluffy ramps. Each floor is 190cm x 65cm! It was made to fit...

I am thinking about making a DIY cage, since pet store cages are way too small, but my space is limited and I want to fit it into a certain corner. If anyone knows a YouTube channel Guinea Dad, he made a video of himself converting a piece of furniture into a guinea pig pen. My idea was to put...

Hi all, I couldn’t find a similar thread so I made my own, not sure it’s in the right chat but please move it if it’s not. I’m looking for your recommendations on storage. I buy all my piggie items in bulk and it’s begging to be hard to store. It doesn’t look great and it’s not practical just...

Hello everyone, I need advice on hay racks because at the moment I give my guinea pigs a pile of hay but after a while they walk on the hay and wee on it so I have to replace it. It would be easier for me to have a hay rack but I don’t know if it would help or not. I don’t mind diy so if you...

Hello everyone, I’m looking to build a cage for my piggies using grids. Has anyone purchased anything from Guinea Pig Cages Store or maybe know a cheaper/better alternative? Or maybe share any advice or your experience on building your own cage.

Hi there! Over December my husband and I created our own DIY guinea pig cage/plant table combo as a Christmas present to me (I have been wanting some guinea pigs for a while now!). On Saturday we will be picking up our guineas from a rescue (a momma and baby!). I have everything in place but...

Hi all, I'm wanting to get a larger selection of enrichment together for my piggies, they have some enrichment and I often make them things from toilet roll tubes etc, but I was wondering. Is there anything that others have used that may have not been originally intended for piggies? Looking...

Does anyone else's guinea pig roll over?! Mo does :lol!: if I stroke him near his belly he rolls over like a dog- must be ticklish! And (as you'll see in the video) when he gets a bit over excited... (This video was taken ages ago Mo was a baby) here I decided to get 'crafty' and make a...

So we've had Rosie for just under two weeks now and I'm doing everything I can to make her life happy and healthy! Spent two hours last night on Instagram and Pinterest looking at Guinea pig diy ideas and ended up making her a hammock out of a no longer loved One Direction blanket (my daughters)...

So I have been looking at making my own fleece liners for my boys as buying them is SO expensive! I have heard pros and cons to the Uhaul furniture pad route, something about them disintegrating in the wash. So I thought maybe Baxter pads for human incontinence might work? They are big absorbent...
