hay

Ok, my fellow cavy enthusiasts! I'm really getting tired of how ugly my guinea pigs' cage is, especially when I'm trying to decorate my new apartment. Nothing says aesthetically appealing like an ugly wire cage with hay and piggie poop flying everywhere. After scouring the internet for some kind...

I knocked over some bags of hay whilst cleaning out their cage and it went everywhere. No need to hoover, the pigs are on it! They work very fast ;)

Hi all... Looking to get Guinea pigs in next few weeks and doing homework. Have bought C&C page with loft and also Vetbed as my son has allergies that this should help with. Trouble is I don't quite know how best to set up cage to accommodate toilet, beds, eating. Happy to use hay in any area if...

Hi, I'm a new Piggie owner, adopted two sisters yesterday born to a friend of mine. So far they have been born and lived outdoors in a chicken coop, surrounded by chickens, lots of piggies and in very dusty wildlife conditions being fed only fesh grass and veg. Also I will mention I live in the...

I ordered the sample pack of hay from The Hay Experts for the pigs to try and it's just arrived, came with lots of freebies too :drool: I've been reading on here that certain hays aren't great for pigs with bladder issues like readigrass maybe..? Toast is on a diuretic and cystophan to...

I have looked at lists for edible and non edible foods from happycavvy.com but there is a couple foods I'm worried about. Would it be ok to give them fruits like apples and tomatoes 3-4 times a week? (2 days of tomato, 2 days of apple) or is this too much? should I just do 1 day of tomato, 1 day...

I've just had a delivery of Hay for Pets INGS hay. I know some forum members have had some batches that they are not happy with BUT - I'm really happy with this batch - lovely and green and fresh smelling . I was hoping my 4 would tell you how good it is - but they're too busy munching .

So I have been asking for two Guinea Pigs for ages, and my friend is giving away her two. So we decided to take them. They are arriving in around 4 days. I ordered a load of toys online and that has arrived, the hutch is ready and built, the garden and grass is perfect and food and water and all...

Beans has been without Toast now since 8am and she's really been missing her. Every now and again she'll wander round the cage looking for her :( Only 1 more hour until I pick Toasty up and they'll be reunited (and Toast can get back to annoying her sister), but for now I've got Beans some...

I just received 9.5kg of Ings from Hay For Pets. It looks and smells amazing (... the quality caused the postman to stop and have a 5-minute chat about hay :))). The pigs love it, a handful got half hoovered up in 5 minutes. However, it's not that soft, as it has some quite stalky bits in. Is it...

Just to let everyone know I bought two bags of wilkinsons £1.50 hay as normal but when I got home found it was damp and very mouldy smelling. I took them back and changed it for their £2 bags as the £1.50 bags were all the same on the shelf. I told the member of staff who was going to check with...

Hello Recently in the colder months I have been trying to find cost effective and fun toys treats and houses for the pigs as it is too wet and chilly for them to go out in the run I have tried lots of options but would like to hear your tutorial suggestions! To start it off I'd recommend the...

After 4 days of the piggies being seperated by a divider (to monitor Toast while on meds) they are now back together and loving all the space they have:D This is how their cage was set up while divided.. But now they're reunited and getting used to their new layout :D Now...

Beans and Toast have been through a lot the past week or so. Toast with her bladder infection/URI/bloat/self barbering and possible cysts on ovaries and poor Beans being harassed 24/7 by an unusually aggressive Toast. They've been temporarily seperated so I thought I'd make them some little hay...

Hi everyone I've got a few days off work and looking for some new ideas for toys for my boys! I've had to separate one of my pairs into singles after a bloody incident yesterday and don't want them to get bored whilst they're on their own for the time being.. Cleaning my fridge out I came...

Bought a new carrot house for the pigs 3 days ago. Apparently they weren't happy with the look of this new house so they've set to work stripping the wall paper and making an open plan roof.. Toast inspecting the roof... "This roof would definitely look better with a big hole right...

I've recently bought some meadow hay from Pillow Wad and wondered if any one else uses it? I have a massive bag of meadow hay from my equestrian supplier (20kg compressed for £5) but it is a bit dusty. I now use this (in my head) as 'bedding hay' and put out the Pillow Wad to eat. When they come...

I seen a thread about how piggies love paper bags so I got one. Only issue is, yet again Beans won't share :doh: Toast has made a few attempts to get in, but Beans has made it very clear that this bag belongs to her, and Toast may look, but not touch. You shall not enter... So...

So I've used a box to make a little hay house and Beans likes it so much she won't let poor Toasty in...

So I was going to feed the piggies, and noticed that I could only see Toast sitting in the loft, I looked for Beans but couldn't see her. I instantly thought maybe she had escaped, then I looked back in the loft and noticed something sticking out of the hay at the back... Beans likes to...
