female

Hello there folks! Not an urgent query I don't think, but I came downstairs today to find that one of my guinea pigs had dug a narrow but deep hole in their sawdust (temporary measure while I try and get enough funds together to get my fleece and towel set up on the go). It was in the cage of...

Hi everyone, I didn't see a thread exactly like my situation so thought I would post one. I have a neutered male and he was living with my 3 older females which he bonded well with and they lived together for a week. Suddenly they began to fight, my male didn't fight back but 2 of my girls were...

Hello all! Just a quick query for those with boars and sows together. Is it common for a board to nibble a sows hair more if she's in heat? Lols has two bald patches on her back. The skin is perfect and there's no evidence of extra hair being shed in the cage. She got them about a month ago as...

I found a year old female guineapig on craiglist a woman is trying to get rid of. It's never been with other piggies other than when it was a baby. I currently have two 4 month old guineapigs. I would love to give this guineapig a good home with friends. It makes me sad it's been by itself. Do...

Hello all! Some of you may know, recently we had a loss in my household as little Ozzy passed away. :( It's been a short while now, and yesterday we went to rehome some rescue piggies from a close-by shelter. We held many of the little sweethearts, but eventually, we decided on a pair to take...

Hi guys! Absolutely new to the site, so if I make a mistake, please bear with me. I have two female piggies. Both are less than a year old, I would say about ten months. I've had them since they were 10 weeks old. Both of them absolutely hate being touched. I tried to pet them, and bond with...

hello everyone! We have an adult female who was part of a triplet group but two died before we rescued her. She wasn't coping very well at being on her own so we got a baby girl to go with her. Upon getting home we realised pets at home are useless and it is a baby boy. We can't take him back as...

Just over a year ago I got my two Guinea Pigs. I was told they were both female at the store but I was 99% sure one was male. Everyone I know (including one vet who seems to have vanished) thought they were both female (they were very young Piggles in all fairness). Today the one I suspected to...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me? I took my 2 year old female guinea pig, Dora, to the vet on Friday night thinking she had eggs around her back end (which surprised me because their cage is kept very clean and she is treated for flystrike, flees, lice etc). When the vet...

I just adopted a three year old female Guinea pig and her eye is all red, what do I do? Does anyone know what this is? Please help!

Hi, I got 2 male guinea pigs about 6 months ago. Sadly it's been a rough jouney with them as 1 passed away last week with a URI that just took its toll on him even after 2 types of antibiotics were tried. The other male that has been left behind is very lonely, however he did have the same...

So my Guinea pig just threw up and my dad and I have been looking and it appears she has the ''gale'' (In french). She has dry spots all over her body and the other Guinea and her fight . What happenned is that I was looking at her skin outside on the grass, she was eating some, then she started...

Hiya Me and my mum rescue all our animals, only time we've had anything from babies is our kittens which were neglected and was given to us for free! Anyway, so we took in a female Guinea pig in February and she was alone for a month until we decided to get her a friend (we were worried because...

I feel as though I'm always on here but my newest of adoptions has on and off been having bloody pee. I noticed it the first day I brought her home, I instantly collected urine and brought it to the vets to be tested for blood in the urine, it came back negative for blood so was told nothing to...

The other day i notice that my little piggy started smelling very bad however i didn't think anything of it and the time. It was only the next day I took a look in the bottom area to see the there was white gunky/goowy stuff around and on her genitals. I'm not too sure if it is causing her pain...

Hello, I currently have 2 boars but I have seen a pair of sows that I want to get from a rescue. My boars have an enormous c and c cage plus a commercial cage attached so tons of space. My question is... Can I section off part of their c and c ( then extend it a bit) and then put the sows in...

Hi I have 4 guinea pigs, 2 males and 2 females and I would like to let them all play together because I don't feel like they are all getting the attention they deserve I usually give them 1 hours play time each twice a day and I have them out throughout the day too but individually, to groom...

Hey. I have had 3 guinea pigs, all female, for 2 months now and they get along great for the most part, sometimes some bickering here and there, not unusual. So tonight after I clean their cage, one of them just starts acting really aggressive. She would chase after the other two, try to mount...

ok i have had my girls for almost 2 years. they usually get along ok, never great, but lately wicca has been particularly aggressive, and by lately i mean on and off for two months. she has been rumblestrutting a lot (even tried to rumblestrut me), and chasing turtle around, and biting her bum...

I have two female guinea pigs. When I first introduced them to each other, it was pretty clear that CC was the dominant guinea pig and Poppy was the submissive one. They have been getting along up until a couple of days ago when Poppy started to express dominance towards CC. Both of them have...
