I plan on getting 2 male Guinea pigs in August, after researching further about Guinea pig health I realized that the nails will need to be cut when neccescary. I am also aware of the quick and the fact that cutting the quick can lead to a result of pain for the Guinea pigs. Please comment how...

Hello all! Some of you may know, recently we had a loss in my household as little Ozzy passed away. :( It's been a short while now, and yesterday we went to rehome some rescue piggies from a close-by shelter. We held many of the little sweethearts, but eventually, we decided on a pair to take...

hello everyone! We have an adult female who was part of a triplet group but two died before we rescued her. She wasn't coping very well at being on her own so we got a baby girl to go with her. Upon getting home we realised pets at home are useless and it is a baby boy. We can't take him back as...

i have two new MALE guinea pigs and i'm having a hard time deciding names, feel free to help

I just got a baby guinea pig today (he's about 6-8 weeks I think?) and he makes a weird noise before making a noise that sound like he's coughing or choking? His nose isn't runny but he keeps nearly closing one of his eyes. I can't find any thing on this and I'm scared? Please help? He also is...

Hello My name Is Sarah. I have two male Guinea Pigs Jeffery(3 months) and Sonic (2 1/2 months). I recently gave our 3rd guinea pig Jasper to our close friend as the bonding wasn't happening and thought it best for everyone that Jasper goes to a new home (Jasper has a male friend) We had only...

Just over a year ago I got my two Guinea Pigs. I was told they were both female at the store but I was 99% sure one was male. Everyone I know (including one vet who seems to have vanished) thought they were both female (they were very young Piggles in all fairness). Today the one I suspected to...

i have an older male and we introduced him to a baby male yesterday. They did the whole dominance behavior and what not and i wasn't comfortable putting them in the same cage but last night I had their cages side by side and they were squeaking at each other and both were peeking through the...

my male Guinea pig he is still somewhat a baby. He recently just started dipping his front paws in his water dish but he'll stay there for a good few minutes and his hind legs will be down like he's resting lol it's so cute i thought maybe he's just hot?

Hello My name is MaLane. I own a full grown male Guinea pig. (I'm not sure what kind of breed he is. His all white but half his face and one ear is black). I noticed something when I first got him, his one of his eyes is kind of odd. Honestly, the only way I can explain it is that it looks like...

Hi, I got 2 male guinea pigs about 6 months ago. Sadly it's been a rough jouney with them as 1 passed away last week with a URI that just took its toll on him even after 2 types of antibiotics were tried. The other male that has been left behind is very lonely, however he did have the same...

Hi there everyone, My 5 year old male guinea pig Maple recently started showing URI symptoms (crusty nose/eyes, wheezing, sneezing etc). I took him straight to the vet who prescribed him with a week course of antibiotics and some decongestant, (no probiotics, but luckily researched this and...

Hi :) I have two pairs of male guinea pigs. To keep them distracted from getting excited over each other i've been recommended to buy a couple of soft toys to put in their hutches that might distract them from basically humping each other (sorry to be blunt!) I'm a bit nervous about which...

Hello, I have posted in here before and got given great advice but I am still struggling with these guinea pigs! Sorry to repeat myself if you remember my previous post (months ago now and can't find it) but I'll give you a quick back story. We got Mr Biggles who is a rescue guinea pig, we...

Hi there! I'm a recent new owner of 2 male guinea pigs and I was hoping for some advice in general about looking after them. They are in a 2 x 3 C&C cage with a loft and I use fleece bedding that is washed every 3 days! They get fresh veggies morning and night and nuggets and hay! Is there...

Hello, I currently have 2 boars but I have seen a pair of sows that I want to get from a rescue. My boars have an enormous c and c cage plus a commercial cage attached so tons of space. My question is... Can I section off part of their c and c ( then extend it a bit) and then put the sows in...

Hi I have 4 guinea pigs, 2 males and 2 females and I would like to let them all play together because I don't feel like they are all getting the attention they deserve I usually give them 1 hours play time each twice a day and I have them out throughout the day too but individually, to groom...

Hi all. I'm completely new to forums and guinea pigs too, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. We have a 14/15 week old male pig, who we have hhad since 3rd dec. We bought for our 5 year old. Hes a house pig, and is very spoilt. Although he is really relaxed around us all and is very...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum. I own five young male guinea pigs. Two of them, I just adopted yesterday. And since I adopted them, two of my older guinea pigs have been fighting non-stop! One of them even managed to draw blood overnight. I have separated them for now and am taking the...

Hi, So I have 3 male Guinea pigs two of them were from the same litter and I got the third a month later. They were all getting along fine until the two brothers started being aggressive toward each other about a week ago which I kept an eye on and when I came home one day the one had bitten the...
