introducing a new pig

As many of you know, almost two weeks ago I lost my beautiful girl Pampeliska (thank you for all the messages, they really helped during the worst moments). I thought a lot about whether to get new piggy and I felt like my second girl Medi needs it. She is 4 years old and have spent all her life...

Hi guys! Some of you may know from my other threads that I've been wanting to bring Bear and Lottie inside from their hutch for the winter, And that i am hoping Bear and Lottie will take to Anya and Aurora in hopes for a group in the future :) As everyone inside is in C&C Cages this was a bit...

Back in the beginning of November I got 4 guinea pigs. One was from someone off of Craigslist, his name was Sammy. I got 3 others from a rescue, their names were Bram, Candy Corn, and Mr. Clean. All males. Within the first week and a half, Sammy died. We later learned that Sammy wasn't 2 years...

We recently got a new mother and baby guinea pig from an SSPCA shelter, to keep our original (neutered, so he shouldn't smell of males) pig company, after his companion died. We were originally planning on getting just the mother, but we learned that she had been bonded with her daughter when we...

3 months after purchasing a male piggy from the pet store, I decided to get a friend for him. I was advised to find another male piggy a little older than the one we had. So we got a male guinea pig that needed rehoming, and kept the 2 in separate cages next to each other for a week. We...

Hi, I am really devastated as one of my Guinea pigs died last night she was sister to my surviving piggy. I love them so much and I am incredibly worried about my lone Guinea pig (Elsa) and how she will cope. I have had Guinea pigs before but when one of the sister died that time they were both...

I have 2 male Guinea pigs, both from the same store and same cage but bought a week and a half apart. The smaller 10 month old ones name is shaggy and the bigggggg 1 year olds name is scooby. I got shaggy first and he acts like a moody teen but he's getting a lot nicer everyday so i figured I'd...

Hello! I have owned three sows for two years and adopted a lone male Guinea pig from a rescue a few months ago. I got him neutered and he lived side by side with the sows for 6 weeks. I finally introduced him (on neutral terroritory) to the sows and apart from the odd rumble they all got on...

Hello everyone, I have a really important question and need help. Here is a little backstory : my sister had two piggies for about 5 years not and last march I got myself a little girl from a piggie breeder. Pepsi has a cage on her own but my sister would bring her piggies round a couple of...

I have just got a one year neutered male guinea pig from a rescue to try and pair with my single female Sandy who is also one year. I have got them separate at the moment and have tried introducing but am inexperienced and unsure. When I have put them next to each other in the run with a...

Hi, I have a male skinny pig and and a newly adopted spayed sow , both around 1 year old. I just got her yesterday and since the rescue previously quarrauntined her, I figured it was safe to do introductions. I realize I should've let her settle in separately first, my bad. Anyway, they had...

i currently have 2 male guinea pigs in a 2x5 grid cage(plus a 1x3 upstairs). they are 13 weeks old and get on well being brothers. one of them is clearly more dominant. i am thinking about bringing in a 10 week old boar and i have a store bought cage that he can be kept in for a short while...

I put him in the cage with my 10 month old & the 4 month old won't stop mounting my older one. The cage is 3 x 4. It is clear to me that they have completely different personalities. My older one is very shy and the younger one very feisty. It is only his first day and he is already chewing on...
