Hi, I have two guinea pigs who used to live together (but had a falling out, probably because their cage wasn't big enough). I've attempted to rebond them again maybe twice but they always end up fighting aggressively which scares me so I've just kept them separate living in their own big cages...

So since Honey passed, Willow has been side By side neighbours with Lois and Laine. Initially this helped Willow realise she wasn't alone, and picked her appetitive straight back up. After about 2 days of being next to them, Willow started chewing at the bars and chewing the coroplast base on...

So I'm having to move in with my grandmother and of course i need to bring my pigs. But we are afraid theres a leak in her roof and its caused mold in parts of the ceiling. As of now, we cannot afford to have someone to come and check/fix it. As long as there isnt any visible mold and i have an...

I have recently gotten two guinea pigs that keep fighting and I have heard that getting a bigger cage will help them get along. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fuse two cages together to create one big cage? I want them to be inside and can't find any bigger cages than the one I have...

hello all! i just had a few questions about caring for my new piggie. 1) should i change the food pellets every day? i've heard some people say yes and some say no, but that would mean i'd be throwing away so much food. shouldn't i just wait until the bowl is almost empty? 2) same as above...

hello all! i just wanted to know if my cage looked alright, it's 8 sq ft and it doesn't have a lot going on yet, BUT, it looks nice to me. i just wanted some input. as you can see i have a bunch of hay on the floor on one side, a toy and wooden chews in the middle and a hide, food bowl and...

Hello! More questions I’m afraid haha. So we currently have Arty in a hutch indoors (he is getting a friend very soon!) the hutch was intended for outdoors but I sweet talked my other half into letting it stay in the spare room but he keeps saying about it going outside in the better weather...

I have a 2 story hutch for my 2 pigs but only one will use the ramp? Both will go up it but only one down again. We have already adapted it to a more tunnel shape to try and help, temped her with food and her sister being at the bottom. We have literally tried everything but she is still...

Since roughly around yesterday 10am, I have been bonding my Harvey (aprox a year) with a new baby pig (aprox 1 month) Milton, I didn’t read up enough and thought washing Harvey’s blankets and wiping down a bit would be enough to put Milton in his cage, stupid now that I know. They were NOT...

Hi guys! I have 3 guniea pigs, soon to be more, because my sow is pregnant. I want to have a total of four pigs, ( 2 girls one 2 boys. ) and I'm also moving into an apartment with my boyfriend in the next few months with a lot more space than I currently have. What are some a good cage...

Hey so i was just kinda curious as to whether anyone else has run into problems similar to some stuff my wife and i just went through. About a week ago, i had my newly adopted cat registered as my assistance animal. She has been absolutely wonderful! I've never met a cat that accepts training...

What is a suitable indoor cage size for 4 guinea pigs? I cannot seem to find one suitable for 4 on the pets at home website, the largest indoor one was 50x120x58cm. Any suggestions of where could I get one big enough?

Hi all, My boyfriend and I are DIYing a new cage for our babies. Originally it was going to be super long so our two boys had loads of run space, but as many of you will know I posted about having to separate our boys. They're now booked in to be neutered in two weeks' time and the new aim is...

Hi. I was wondering do you prefer playhouses or sheds for your piggies? Anyone has any pictures of your set ups? Thank you x

Hello, I am looking to buy my 3 girls (currently only 6 weeks old) a new home as they are eating and growing fast! They live indoors and was thinking a hutch would be better for us as our cat is very interesred in them. I also have 3 children so i thought a hutch would be more sturdy and...

Hi, recently I've been taking my piggies upstairs in their fold-out run so that we can spend some time together, and also so that they don't get agitated by the fireworks. Obviously, upstairs is warmer then out in the conservatory, and a lot more sheltered. I'm getting a bit worried about the...

Hello everyone today I have just purchased a hutch with a built in bedroom for my piggies, however as the hutch is quite big so is the bedroom so I don't feel like its cosy enough for them and takes up a lot of room in the hutch. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can use as a bed for my...

My guinea pig hutch is quite large and I know I need to provide places to hide so they feel secure. As with most outdoor guinea pig hutches, it is two stories with one open room and one closed room on the top story. I can't find any good quality but affordable houses that fit into the closed...

I am looking at getting 2 guinea pigs, probably 2 males in a few weeks. I have been searching the internet for hutches. I have no idea where to even begin looking. I have ruled out pets at home and such places as the hutches have all had poor reviews. I don't want to buy a poor quality hutch and...

Recently I've seen the majority of people on here have cages, indoor in particular, with fleeces and some hay areas instead of outdoor hutches with wood shavings and hay, at the moment my piggies are in an outdoor with wood shavings and hay but when the weather starts getting colder again we are...
