help and advice needed

Hello. I REALLY need some help. I've had guinea pigs for many years now, and never had any issues with aggression. The most recent addition to my pig family has unfortunately changed that. As time passes she just keeps becoming more aggressive, and I don't know what to do. I've looked everywhere...

We got him a while ago from a pet shop (they didn’t say anything about possible illness or mites) and we have had him for maybe a 2 months now and i’ve noticed he has started pulling out his fur. We went to the vet to see if he has mites and the vet gave us medicine for him but he still is...

Hello everyone :) I am looking for some advice or suggestions for a bit of a dilemma I'm having. Unfortunately, I lost one of my piggies last night. She was old and had been unwell for quite some time so although you never want to find your pets passed away, I have already made peace with it...

My guinea pig has a black thingy on his belly does anyone know what it is?

Alright so this might be a novel, so here’s the short of it: Pippa and Sugar came from a pet store in mid august, everything was fine, dominance seemed to be established with sugar on top, Pippa had a slight sneeze but we looked into it and it seemed only from the hay, sugar started “bullying”...

Hi so I’m thinking about making new fleece liners for my piggies cos they are currently on shavings and for health benefits I wish to put them in fleece as it would be better for them. But I’m not too sure what to put as the absorbent layer and I can’t use Uhaul as I'm in England and zorb is just...

Hello! This is my first post here, if I did something wrong please tell me. But I had 2 guinea pigs, Willow and Luna. Luna got sick and ended up passing away a few weeks ago. The vet said to have Willow quarantine for 2 weeks, and it's been 2 weeks. But, my family is going on vacation. So it'll...

HELP! I have 2 boars (approx 1-2 years old) bonded since babies who have recently started fighting. I've had them four 4.5 months. At first I thought it was just some dominance assertion but it's starting to make me really nervous. Percy has started instigating and harassing Winston (the...

Miss Minnie has been having problems with her poops for awhile now. Seems like it comes and goes. I’ve noticed with her poops that some will be quite small with points on both ends. Some will look perfectly okay. Others will have a slight point on one side. Also not sure if this is a huge deal...

I know I’ve gotten on here a lot and asked about dominance and the behavior of my pigs a couple times already but I’m beginning to wonder. I don’t wanna seem irrational by asking this but does anyone think I should rehome Jojo? I’ll explain why I ask. I took Jojo out of the cage and held him...

I’m not sure how to use this I just got it cause I’m worried about my guinea pigs toe I don’t really know how to describe it. It was swollen just before the nail but after a while his whole toe became swollen and he barley has a nail. I wasn’t sure if I’d cut it and this is its way of healing or...

His water has vitamin C in it, and he is drinking and eating regularly, but his poops are smaller than normal. If you have any ideas on what I should do, please let me know!

Hello, I’ve had my guinea pigs for about three years. I adopted both, one as a youngin and the other after she had been to a family (I’m not sure how old she is) both girls. They’ve had their moments of not being happy with each other, but that’s been few and far in between. Recently my youngest...

Hi y’all, I’m a New Guinea pig owner and I am oh so very confused on what to do. I have two male guineas (morty and jojo) that are about 2 months old. the first week I had them home I made the mistake of chasing them around the cage to pick them up and hold them. I still have to chase them...

Hello. I had four guinea pigs, separated in two cages because they don't all get along. Ginger and Panda were together and Rhona and Sasha were together. Over the last weekend, Rhona took an unexpected turn for the worse and there was nothing that could be done. It was probably something she...

Hello my name is Vulon and I have recently found this website. I adopted a Skinny Pig recently from a friend who couldnt take care of him. He has some problems with his skin right now and I'm wondering what I should do as I'm not experienced in Skinny Pigs. They look like flaking, but are red...
