Hi! My partner and I just had a weekend today and his mum piggy sat our boys. They were good as gold and we have a camera on them. We’ve come back today and taken them out for lap time and a check this evening and we’ve noticed this on his eye? We don’t think it’s hurting him as he’s letting us...

So, to cut a long story short I rescued these guys from a mum who had four sons, she’d got the kids guinea pigs for them and they grew bored of them and they never really got the correct care, in a cage that was too small and were being given straw for a year of their lives. They’re 1 next...

Hi! I just adopted a bonded trio of three boys (3,2 and 2) the shelter said they were bonded. They seemed to be in a horrible place (in a pen meant for one pig and only one large hide.) I’ve gotten them a big enough pen (2 connected 60 in x 30in) and 3 of everything. They have been chasing...

So I have an albino Guinea pig and this Guinea pig I have had for about 3 days in my house but I interacted with it for 3 months prior since I adopted it from my school.

Hi, I’m hoping someone might have some advice for me. My male piggy, Dumby has a hard, pea sized lump just above his penis. When I first found it, it was higher in his lower abdomen but it can be moved down to sit at the top of his genitals - it seems to move back and forth by itself and also...

Hello! I just adopted two 9 month old Guinea pigs (both male) over the weekend (meaning I have had them about 4 days). I built them a new C&C cage 4x2 and placed them in it yesterday. This is when all hell broke loose. Oreo attacked Reeses and made him bleed pretty bad. I contacted the previous...

Hi all. My boy Rex is a 4 year old non-neutered male who this morning was diagnosed with bladder stones. The quote from the vet for surgery was surprisingly high and the outlook of surgery fairly bleak from what he was saying. I just don’t don’t know what to do as he is clearly in discomfort...

My male guinea pig seems to have his penis stuck outside of his body. I've tried recommendations like cold packs, cleaning it out and massaging it back in but it just pops back out. It looks red and swollen, I'm not sure what else to do.

So I posted on here a little while ago about my two 1year old Male guniea pigs. They both had a really bad water infection and were squeaking and weeing blood. Both were treated with metacam and septrin antibiotics. One was treated for 3 weeks one for 2. The infection cleared up and they...
