Hi everyone, i was watching my piggies during floortime and happened to record this. I gave him a Timothy treat that i thought he might’ve choked on, he was like rubbing his face but then seemed fine. Maybe it has something to do with that? Or maybe it was him about to sneeze. I hope it wasn’t a...

Help me please! I had 3 Guinea pigs, now I am just down to 1 boar almost 6 years old now and don’t really have the money for a vet visit right now.

Hi all! I just took out my guinea pig on my bed, I was sitting next to her while watching TV and then all of sudden she rolled over on her back or side?

Please help! I woke up this morning to give my pigs some breakfast veggies and went into their room. Tiger (female/3.5 years) usually is the first to rush to breakfast. She just sat in the hay frozen. There is hay kicked out of the cage too. Everytime I go near her she panics and runs. She is...

Okay so, Saturday I got these two adorable male teddy guinea pigs (2 months old) my friend named them Gandolf and Bartelby. They're not that scared of me: they take food/treats off my hand and dare to come out when I'm in the room. The problem is, Bartelby is the shyer one and doesn't come...

HELP! I don't know how but my guinea pig ate a few bites of a potato and I don't know if that's really bad or just minor. What should I do to make sure she doesn't get sick?

I just took my piggies out their cage and put them in the pen so I could clean it out and one of them seems to be peeing a brownish coloured pee. What should I do? Is it anything to worry about? It also seems to be all over their tunnel.

My friend just got some guinea pigs from pets at home, but they were supposed to sell them as both females, turns out one of them is male. Do pets at home take responsibility for this and do they have to pay for the neutering?

I accidentally cut one of my pigs claws too short.. She jerked as I clipped and I think it took off a part of her toe. It bled so much but I rushed to the bathroom and clotted the blood with cornstarch. I feel terrible and physically sick that I did that to her... How do I make her feel better...

Just returned home to find both piggies fine but the poos (I suspect coming from Mo though most of them are like it so could also be Steve) almost purple? They haven't had beetroot but did have a mixed salad the smorning of red lettuce and normal lettuce leaves- it's not red? And there's a...
