happy pigs

Hello all 😄 I've decided to start a bit of a herd thread, mostly because I have some little stories to tell of my silly little friends. I have 6 guinea pigs at the moment, the most I've ever had at once. They mostly live in large homemade pens, though one boar prefers solitude and lives in a...

Since our Sunny plodded over the rainbow bridge, we were busy hunting down a companion for Lola. It was actually pretty hard :/ After a long hunt we ended up picking TWO new friends for her. Meet 9 week old Rosie (teeny baby) and Marilyn (black and white baby)! From day one, Lola loved them...

Hello everyone! I hope your day has been well. I had two guinea pigs Phoenix and Gemini(both boys), but unfortunately Phoenix passed away. Gemini is/was very territorial while pheonix (I got him as a baby and had him for a year) as he was growing up, became more territorial as well. They never...

I have a flying saucer wheel and I know some tips have said wheels are bad for a guinea pig but this is flat so would it help with exercise or is it too dangerous?

Hi people, I got my Piggy a month ago from a pet shop. Since the shop was in another town, we had to put him in the car and drive him. I was very afraid how will he endure it, but it was okay. He was in the same place with rabbits in the store, so I guess that he was lonely and scared and that...

It's been 2 years today since I adopted Beans and Toast. If only I'd known at the time the stress that comes with these 2 pigs... :)) They didn't have the best start to life, unwanted children's play thing and left neglected in a hutch - they now live a life of absolute luxury! Since getting...

The spoilt little two have finally got fleece bedding! 3 days of trying to wick, a day of installing and what felt like a years worth of patience has resulted in two very happy girlies:lol: my boyfriend and I used adhesive velcro to secure the fleece in place, I'm hoping the velcro is washable...

I haven't really posted any photos of the pigs lately, so here we go... :)) Beans and her beautiful piggy lips :love: Beans having a nap while the cage is being cleaned:drool: Om nom nom :drool: Toasty looking cute in the hope of more food... "I know you have some.. I can smell it!"...

Hi! Basically I adopted one of my 4 pigs Poppy about 2 weeks ago (she came paired with my other girl Gigi) and she's great I love her she's so lively and naughty. She just keeps doing this weird little thing I have included some screen shots from a video I took to show you because I couldn't...

Just a fun little post to see how often (if ever) everyone's Piggies popcorn :) I might get one, maybe two a week from Lola :( But Sunny popcorns a lot! When I clean their cage (twice a day), when I feed them (twice a day), when I set up their 'floor time' boxes, when he's running around the...

I haven't been on here as much as I would like to lately, I'm traveling a lot with work as well as looking after my Mum, and Beans and Toast who are both seriously hard work! (And the reason I have to work so much to afford their vet bills :doh:) Toast has just had her 6th dental op since last...

The nice clean cage before pigs! Aaand after pigs! Enjoying their nice new massive hay tray (or potting tray according to the label :))) with the new Nibble N Dig Rosewood forage tray! Which you can see Cissy guarding it with her life below, kicking poor Tonks out. "But mum where...

Believe it or not, but there are 2 pigs in this photo... Peek a boo! :love::luv:

Just a video of my happy babies after bonding and going into their new C&C cage! Can't stop watching it lol so I just wanted to share the love. Makes me giggle funny little things.

This is how the pigs were entertaining themselves this morning. I love seeing this. Beans has bad arthritis in her legs and hips, and the muscle has started to waste too. But she still likes to zoom about every now and then. And Toast... well she's always got something going on whether it's...

How do I get my piggies to do lap time? With years of having hamsters I'm still a bit jumpy...but I know I need to get used to getting them out. MoMo my older pig is used to being held by her previous owner but she still isn't fully confident with me just yet. But noodle is around 5 months old...

Every morning without fail Toast has a crazy few minutes. I can never catch the start of it so by time I find my phone and start recording she's just about finished... Sometimes once she's got her breath back she'll do it again :)) P.s please excuse the mess on the carpet it's yet to be...

I couldn't resist. :drool: My vets are selling these Santa's Hat cat beds and I had to get it for the pigs. I was planning on waiting til closer to Christmas but I couldn't wait that long. They love it :love: It's easily big enough to fit 2 or 3 pigs but Beans and Toasty are not for sharing...

Hey guys,I wasn't sure where to post this one so I'm going with daily care! I'm a Mum to a solo pig, Sunny. Yep, that's right, I have one boar. I know it's ideal to keep two pigs or more for company, and I'll admit I was worried as to how he would get on by himself. My intention is to wait...

***Warning: long, soppy post.*** It's the 1 year anniversary of when I got the beautiful Beans and Toasty. As soon as I seen them I had to get them, I just fell in love with them instantly. Both were very neglected/mistreated by previous owners, Toast was left in a hutch and Beans was an...
