guineapig

So, next week I’m going out of state for a couple days and I want to make sure my piggies are all cared for and entertained. I’m leaving them with my dad for the weekend so they’ll be fed and swept up as normal but they’ll still be alone most of the time. I have one 4-year-old pig and two...

Hi. I don’t know why, but my guinea pigs wants to be with my friend but not with me. She hasn’t been with them more than me so idk why they’re doing this. Example we are at floor with them, they just go to her and climb all over her body. They never come to me, and sometimes if I holding them...

So my guinea pigs don’t let me touch them or pick them up. I had them for almost a year now and we can’t cut their nails. The most we can do is pet their noses. Someone please help me on how to trim their nails and be able to pick them up.

Hey. I got my boy almost a year back when he was a baby. He was really malnourished and boney. I noticed a little discolouration in his right eye but I thought it was just the lighting. Today, it caught my attention again, and I took a proper look at his eye and saw it was a little cloudy at...

gelato, my guinea pig, was cleaning herself. after she was done, there was white residue on her eye. i looked it up and it said that it’s what they use to clean themselves. is this true? i’m worried :(

So I don't know if I'm overreacting but my piggy has aten a small amount of chocolate he is only 6 months old. It was barely even a smidge. It was chocolate pie. I don't really see a difference right now it had happened 30 minutes ago. He was eating his hay and running around. Should I be worried?

Hi all I was hoping for some guidance, I’ve noticed today that my boar has a small (size of a jelly bean) hard moveable lump about an inch above his testicle, near his stomach. He’s eating normally, drinking normally and as far as I’m aware, going to the toilet as normal. I’m going to call my...

Hello! I currently have the Pets At Home Foxglove hutch sitting empty in my garden, I have some boars I am looking to put outside but the flooring needs to be replaced completely, does anyone have the measurements for the flooring? I’m looking to have two separate levels to keep two boars on...

Hi guinea pig owners, I'm brand new to the guinea pig world but am already currently obsessed with my two girls and love to spend as much time with them, reading up about them and just trying to improve their life as much as possible... However tonight after doing the girls weekly checks I've...

My male guinea pig seems to have his penis stuck outside of his body. I've tried recommendations like cold packs, cleaning it out and massaging it back in but it just pops back out. It looks red and swollen, I'm not sure what else to do.

My little baby Snugs passed away today. 😢 My partner and I took her to the vet along with our other two pigs because they had a mild cough. They were otherwise doing fine. Happy, lively, eating well. Only coughed a little at nighttime and we wanted to get them treated incase it turned into...

Hello just wondering what the best toys for Guineapig’s are and something that will keep them entertained x:ple:

does this hay is OK?

Hi All, Hoping for some advice. 2 weeks ago our little pig Bertie developed symptoms of a UTI (small blood spots in his urine) so we took him to the vet, where he was prescribed 0.75 ml of Enrobactin and 0.5ml of Metacam for the pain. Around 4 days later he was visibly in more pain when he...

First of all, my 4 guineapigs have hay mites or *static lice* these do not cause any harm or hair loss and most guineapigs carry these. I bathe them with medicated shampoo and give them ivermectin behind the ear to help keep numbers of lice down. One of my girls (juno) has suddenly got a bold...

My guinea pig has been making loud squeaking noises while I think pooping. I don’t know if anything is wrong with her but my other guinea pig doesn’t do it and she’s young. She squeaks for a while then at the end makes one loud one that’s louder than the other and then she’s done. Should I go to...

Hello everyone :)) hope everyone is having a good day! Mine is being stressfull, because I have been worried about my little girl misty! About a week and half ago I noticed misty had white spots on her eyes, I got really concerned because she has had problems in her eyes before, but she was...

My guinea pig Mochi keeps cleaning the same same spot, one of her back legs. I’m not sure if she is also biting it but when I was cleaning her cage her whole leg and foot was very wet from her cleaning it. I am worried that something on her skin is bothering her? Her skin on that leg doesn’t...

Hello all, I’m a little desperate because I cannot seem to find an answer to my little fellow’s behaviour anywhere! So suddenly, since yesterday, my guinea pig (he’s 3 and a bit years old) started making this strange noise. (I'll can't attach an audio of the noise so I'll link it up at the...
