I took my two boys Rocky and Capone to the local rescue to do a bit of boar dating today. They were separated on January 14th. Unfortunately Rocky did not find a suitable match, he was too dominant for any of the males at the shelter. My plan next is to get Rocky neutered and find a nice sow...

Hello! One of my abbyruvian guinea pigs is really scared. Her companion who is slightly older than her allows me to hold her, carry her around and play with her. However, when I try to do that with her, she hisses and runs away then cowers in the corner. She does not respond to any bribery like...

Guys, I am in love with the new guinea pig cage😍 Theyve got SO much more room to run about compared to the little pet shop cage we first got. I'm so happy with it & the guinea pigs have been popcorning like mad! Expensive, but worth every penny!❤❤❤

Hi there, I’m new here and just looking for a bit of advice. We have just adopted a new Guinea pig today from a rescue. He is a 1.5 year old male and had always lived alone. We needed a new companion for our 10 month old male as he lost his friend recently. The bonding has gone pretty well and...

About 2 weeks ago, we picked up a lone little boy from a breeder. The breeder sold him alone because he was born in a litter of only girls, and all of the other baby guinea pigs from that breeder were also little girls. Very early on, the breeder isolated our little guy away from his mum and...

Hi Everyone I have just joined. I have 2 female guinea pigs, they are only 8-12 weeks old and we have had them for nearly two weeks. They have a two tier hutch, with toys, varied diet etc and come out for floor time every evening for a couple of hours. Tonight however the slightly larger one...

Hi guys :) I'm sure some of you may know me from the whole "am I welcome here as a newbie" post, and some may remember me from the Introduction post. Anyway, I read the link that someone provided me about guinea pigs and biting and what it means and all, and today I decided to try and...

I am starting a company that provides starter kits for new piggy owners. The kit comes with a c&c cage, fleece bedding, water bottle, hay rack, food bowl, 4 hides, a tunnel, oxbow pellets and hay, toys, grooming supplies and a surprise. How much would you pay for all of this?

Hello, I am new to the forums so this is my first thread! Anyway, my guinea pig has a little bit of brown crusty stuff on his ear! I am always super paranoid about my piggies so this is really scary for me! Please help if you can!

Hi All It's been a couple of months since I have been in here - in fact my last post was introducing you all to my rabbit Kuro. He is doing great and we have bonded brilliantly it feels like he has always been part of the family. The piggies are all really interested in him too - although...

please vote on which guinea pig nuggets you/ your guinea pigs think are the best as i'm considering switching to something different as it becoming far too costly and my piggies don't even seem to keen on it .... please consider the cost, how healthy they are, and how much your piggies like them...

Any tips or advice for me? This will be my first time owning a Guinea Pig, but not a rodent. I'm open to all! C:

I recently bought 2 male guinea pigs at 20 weeks old and I was advised to hold them for at least 30 minutes a day so they can get used to human contact. One of them if very active and makes squeaking noise and will take food from my hand whilst the other just scuttles up to my neck and will lay...

I have been enquiring about a couple of young pure bred guinea pigs. Their owner is a judge at shows which I felt encourage by. I felt that buying from here was a much better option than a pet shop. However he has just told me that he owns over 50 guinea pigs. Is this something that should put...

Hi, I've got two boar guinea pigs reserved to pick up next month while I get everything ready for them. They're a bonded pair and their birthday is on the 5th of April 2017. I'm so excited! One is a teddy and the other is a crested (I think?). I have a couple of questions related to the space...

So I am so excited to introduce you all to Kuro Usagi! He was just rehomed to me tonight and I am over the moon! :)):clap: Ps his name is Japanese and means Black Rabbit ( I love Japanese/anime things lol) he will get Kuro for short:)

Hey everyone, I have adopted a new 4 month old female piggy. I currently have her in quarantine away from my other piggy. It is day 3 since I have brought her home, and I have not held her just so she can adjust to her surroundings. Also, she is in a quiet room. She will not leave her...

Hi, I'm from the USA. My husband and I just bought two baby piggies from Petsmart (and now I know not to ever do that again because they may have come from a supplier that mistreats the animals). One of them has a little crust around her nose, and every once and a while she will let out a...

Unfortunately everything is happening a once. Sadly we lost our oldest female, Taini, this time last week, Which, unfortunately has happened around the same time we've gained two new piggies. Very suddenly last Sunday, Taini our 7 year old female who was living with a boar called Bear and two...

My husband and I are guinea pig parents for the first time! We bought 2 4-month old girls 3 days ago. We got them from Petsmart and they are not used to human contact really at all (from what the employee told us). The night we bought them we put them in their cage and left them alone all night...
