new addition

Hello! so I posted a little bit ago when I got my first guinea pig as an adult he’s been to the vet. He is all good to go. I’ve got him into a brand new cage so today I went and I got another guinea pig. They are both males. The original guinea pig Papua is eight months old. The new guinea pig...

I have two lovely rescue girls who we’ve had for 2 years since they were 6 months old. I’m wondering about expanding and adding another piggie to the mix. Would this be cruel to them as they are well bonded and I worry about disrupting that? If we were to look at another one is there any...

Hello! I have two adult females that do not get along and have done much better living separately. However, long story short, but I ended up with a 6 week old male today. I would love to see if one of the girls would get along with him after a slow introduction, but seeing as he isn’t neutered...

So I have to questions really: 1. Recently I had two of my three guinea pigs died. We think they had some virus or something.. completely random thing that thankfully I didn't end up losing all of my pigs too. The thing is I got two new Guinea pigs the other day and my older girl ( she's only...

Hi! New Guinea pig owner here 💛 The cage I got for for them yesterday meets the requirements for space but is so poorly/cheaply made and unstable. It’s bound to fall apart anytime soon. I wanna order a Kavee c&c cage with a stand for my piggies! I wanna make sure they have plenty of space for...

Hi there, I bought 2 guinea pigs a week and a half ago! They’re 8&9 weeks old. I left them in their hutch to adjust for 4-5 days, they started hand feeding on the 4th day (just through the hutch wire) and for the last couple of days I open the doors and they take food straight from my hand and...

Hi! So I know guinea pigs are animals that should not be owned singularly, but I currently only have one. She was initially given to my niece as a gift but then dropped off at my mom's house and just stayed there alone for way longer than I'd like to admit. I've been away at college, but as soon...

Hi, We had 2 males of about 2 years and one passed away a few days ago. They had been together from a very young age. The one that died was the dominent, confident one and Ted who is left is quite skittish and timid. I have two option at the moment. The first is to get a baby male who is...

Hello, yesterday our little buddy Garfunkel sadly passed away after losing the use of his hind legs. We took him to the vets who reccomend pain killers and not much more. Garf and his brother Simon had been split up as they would fight for dominance and end up making eachother bleed. Were not...

So after the loss of my Panic, I got my guinea Fleetwood a new cage mate, we quarantined her for about a week and then went to the vet and got an all clear. We introduced over 3 days of holding them both, but not caving them together. Yesterday my dad was holding both of them and said Fleetwood...

I have just been told that my male rescued guinea pig has advanced cataract in both eyes and I was wondering if the vets could do anything about it as he is only about 3 years old. Also, he is on his own at present and I was wondering if I should get him a companion as he has a really chilled...

Hey! I just got my guinea pigs yesterday. I have one that came with a name that I like and one that I'm not too fond of. Do you have any suggestions? Here's a little bit about him: He is a male He is brindle-ish: light caramel-like brown, black, and a little bit of white near his ears and...

Hi everyone, my guinea pig Layla seems to have some eye crust! It's dried whiteish-yellow crust. I just introduced her to my other guinea pig, Cookie, and noticed that Layla had a few sneezes, (around 10 in 1-2 hours). She seems to be eating and drinking properly, but I'm afraid she might have a...

Hello, I need some help for my guinea Bailey. Yesterday his buddy Bear sadly passed away. Bailey is almost 2 years old and was the dominant one and did nip bear once but they got along well. He is grieving (laying where bear was found, not moving much and generally not being his squeaky self!)...

Hi people, I got my Piggy a month ago from a pet shop. Since the shop was in another town, we had to put him in the car and drive him. I was very afraid how will he endure it, but it was okay. He was in the same place with rabbits in the store, so I guess that he was lonely and scared and that...
