Hi all. In the past i have came on this forum looking for ways to help my guinea pig with her breathing problems. I have went to the vet twice now for that issue and have not found a straight answer about it, but considering she was happy, healthy, and eating just fine- we decided it was best to...

So about 3 years ago i got my first 2 piggies, charlie and midnight. (all guinea's mentioned in this thread are Boars unless said otherwise) sadly charlie died as a pup when i got him, and then i got moon about 3 weeks after because my other guinea pig midnight was showing signs of depression...

Hi! I have two guinea pigs and I've noticed that one of them poops a lot less than she used to. The poops themselves look super healthy, but I'm worried why there aren't that many of them. I used to have to spot clean the cage twice a day, (it's fleece) but now I could get away with every other...

I’ve had Wren since August last year. She’s always been a little skittish and a loner (she doesn’t like socialising with the other pigs and would always be on her own). Anyways, over the past few weeks I’ve noticed she keeps Shrieking. Every time she goes I go over to her but she’s always been...

Hi all, I wanted some advice on people’s experiences of having a trio of sows? I have two current girls and was considering another one who would be approx 10 weeks by the time I get her. One of my current pigs is very shy in personality and the other is outgoing, they are housed in a 5X2 C&C...

Hi guys me again I seem to only ever come back with bad news. 😱 Steve. My little Steve the new worrying furchild. Really seeking some good words and hopefully some "he's going to be ok, doesn't mean he's gonna die". I have my 11 year old rabbit going in for a dental tomorrow (it is necessary)...

I’ve got two boars, one about age 1 and the other about 4 months. The younger one keeps initiating teeth chattering and rumbles at the other with his fur on end, which causes the other to chatter back a bit. The older doesn’t get too bothered by it and just ignores him mostly but it’s not nice...

What’s happening to my guinea pig? My guinea pig Chester is usually a very energetic and healthy guinea pig, but ever since his cage mate passed a few days ago he has been lethargic and depressed. He stopped eating and pooping so we brought him to the emergency vet and they said he has the...

Hello everyone, my female 4 year old Guinea pig seems to be very sick. We took her to the vet today, but apparently there was nothing wrong with her except slight weight loss. This behavior started about 16 hours ago. We got some antibiotics to give her daily. Her fur is puffed up, she sits in...

I feed each of them about a cup of veggies per day, unlimited hay (timothy with a sprinkle of alfalfa since on is still quite young,) about 1/8 cup of pellets per day each, and unlimited water. I noticed that the older female's poops vary...

Hi everyone! Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but I am worried about my guinea pig's health. My guinea pig lives with her daughter, and lately during floor time she has been acting really off. The first time it happened, she heard a loud noise and got very scared and kept freezing and...

My parents are avoiding going to the vet but if necessary we will go. My guinea pig is about 4 years old and is very calm as opposed to his brother and dad whom are always running around. I'd been noticing he had been a little lazy lately but not enough to worry. When i went to check on them I...
