Hello, I have a 5 month old guinea pig. He's the only one so doesn't have to fight for food or anything (rescued him and he is used to being alone- although he loves snuggles with the dog) and I asked the vet what his feeding schedule should be and he said to make sure he has veg, hay and guinea...

I have 3 sows, 2 are about 13 weeks and the other one is about 8 weeks. How much veggies should I give per pig, per day (in grams or cups) If you could tell me what you would feed them and portion sizes everyday (For example how much of a cucumber?) Today I am giving them; 1/8 cup pellets x3...

After a great recommendation from a fellow guinea pig fan I collected Miss Fluffy Bum and Miss Peachy Bum from This Little Piggie in Richmond this morning ... After giving them a thorough check they are now relaxing and getting used to the their new home! The Sheltie is Fluffy Bum and the...

So I got two Guinea Pigs yesterday, they are sisters. I handled one today, Parsnip, and she was happy to be out of the cage, however upon Parsnip leaving, Raisin began running around and biting on the cage, so I put Parsnip back in. I am worried however as Raisin has been what seems to be...

This was also posted in another category but I received no replies so am searching for hope in this one! I am getting two Guinea Pigs tomorrow, they're boys and both are two and a half. They're from a friend who couldn't look after them any longer. I was reading upon routines and schedules, and...

hello! I usually don't care much about knowing the exact colour of my pets but I just bought a male baby (I was told he was an aby?) guinea pig and he has red eyes, rosettes fur and grey/brown and red fur. I was wondering what his color was called. I was thinking tortie, but I have a tortie cat...

I'd like everyone to meet the new baby, Lola-Jean! She's an Abby, like my other piggy Sunny. they've had a quick introduction, and it was a massive success! Sunny did a bit of rumble-strutting, a lot of grooming of her little face and seems absolutely delighted to have a new sister...

Hello, I am new to this forum, and don't quite know how it works, so sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place. I have two guinea pigs, Cookie and Jay Jay. They are both super fat and eat a lot, but everyday eat the same boring things, like cabbage, silver beet, red and yellow silver beet, stuff...

So I got this little piggy a couple weeks ago and shes still TERRIFIED. I am well aware it takes time for a new cavy to become relaxed and settle in there new home, and even longer to tame them. when i got her i left her alone for about 4 days, only talking to her softly, and only for a brief...

hello! I got my first 2 guinepigs 2 weeks ago from Pets T home, 2 girls, Scruffbag and Binky. I love them and want to do right by them so some experienced owner feedback would be awesome! I'll put pictures of them and their setup below. They get a handful of nuggets each day, unlimited...

I just got my baby girl Mina and noticed her eye was different the other. Any clue what it could be?

I don't know if this is the right place to put this , but I love the extra green and the grass background :nod:

Hey all! I recently bought a new guinea pig (Sunny) from a well known and respectable pet shop. I'm aware that they are social creatures and like to be kept in pairs or groups. This pet shop adopts that policy and keeps it's piggys in pairs/groups of the same gender. However, when I picked out...

Hi! For those of you who've seen my other posts you know I recently got my first pig, and today his friend grom the rescue came home! It's about a half hour into bonding and there's been rumbling, mounting from both parties, butt sniffing, chasing, and popcorning from both boys! Milo (Keikos new...

Hi everyone! I've been actively searching for a young boar to bond with my Keiko, and the ONE AND ONLY piggies rescue near me came through! They had a litter of 3 pigs recently (mom was already pregnant when they brought her in, obviously they do not breed) and there is one boy! The sisters will...

Hi, so this is not an infamous C&C cage, but I would like thoughts on it. Right now I have one young boar (3months) in a cage that can only house one pig, I am searching for a friend for him and came upon this. It is from The Guinea Pig Store which is an online store based very close to me, I am...

This morning I awoke to hear my young Keiko sneeze a couple of times in a row:( Ive heard him sneeze the odd time here or there or make a sound while grooming that almost sounds like he's sneezing or spitting on himself, but I didn't see this time if he was cleaning or not. I of course went...

Hi, I've had my guinea pig for just over a month now and he is quite bonded to me recently he has started calling out if I'm out of my room for an hour or two working on the computer. My parents have also noticed this behaviour and agree he needs a friend, however he is quite young and I keep...

Hi all, I am new to the forum and a new pig mum, i got my two sows a month ago, Ann is the younger aged 12 weeks, and Ted is 16 weeks. Recently, i noticed that Ann has a bald patch on her nose which quickly developed into a scabby looking sore. I took her to the vets on Saturday, and got her...
