piggie advice

Hi everyone 😊 Two days ago we adopted a boar pair who are a few months old in age, their names are Biscuit and Crumble ☺️. They have a cage bigger than 180x60cm, and I have placed two of everything in the cage - water bottles, food bowls, treats- to prevent any fighting over that. They also...

So i have two males together 1 is a baby. I'm waiting to get paid to upgrade to c&c cage. But i leave the cage door open. The big piggie loves to explore and run around. He sits in a hidy hole most of the time. He still goes into the cage when he wants to. Am i being too generous 😕 he runs around...

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...

After an incident about a year ago with guinea pig lice, I regularly check my boys skin/hair for anything wrong. I’ve noticed recently that they both seem to have white flakes around their back ends and I can’t seem to figure out why. I’m thinking it’s just dry skin or maybe dandruff caused by...

I'm thinking of getting guinea pigs, but i go to church every sunday. I don't know if my church is pet friendly and i know i can't take them out every week. Should i leave them at home, or find a way to bring them with me?

Hello! I have two guinea pigs aged 2 and 1 and the older one seemed a bit quiter today. She is eating but only if i place the food in her house and she is sometimes sleeping outside her house. She usually squeeks when i feed her which she didn’t do today, however she ate some parsley once i put...

hi, i want to buy three female guinea pigs and i’m going to go to pets at home ( only because there are no adoption shelters near me at all) i was wandering if they had a two pet limit or if anyone has managed to buy three girls there before? thanks :)

I have a 1 year and 1 month old guinea pig who lives in the same cage as a 3 month old guinea pig. Should I feed pellets and hay made for adult guinea pigs or ones made for baby guinea pigs?

Hello! My young piggy, Ruby, has black nails. Since her birth (In the end of August), I’ve only cut her nails once. The first and last time I did so was in mid November. I went to the vet shortly after her birth to have a check up and asked how often should I cut her nails. The vet advised me...

Hi! I've had my two boys, Finn and Parker, for about a month and a half. They're settling in well. They've recognized my footsteps and wheek when I come up the stairs with food, I play ukulele for them every single night and they seem to really enjoy that (does anybody want to see a video of...

Hello again. Newer Owner here. So if you've read my other posts you'll know about my one piggy precious I've had her for 2 and a half months. Now one quick off topic question. If piggies are younger. Do they sleep a lot more than hours like most people say piggies sleep. Because my little...

Hi:D I have to do a cage clean today. I have had my piggies for a week now and they are lovely but still very scared (they're still settling in.) I don't know how I am going to get them out of their cage to clean it. My mom suggested that we block of some of their cage and lure them to go into...

I went shopping for guinea pig supplies yesterday to prepare for when I bring the piggies home and I got some things. Hideouts, bendy bridge, chew toys etc. I got the mandatory stuff. But what do guinea pigs like to do for fun? I know hamsters like puzzle toys but what do guinea pigs like to do...

hi guys! i just put chocolate and caramel together to start their bonding and these are the things that are happening so far. i can't record because moving too much makes them freeze up, so i hope you can gather good or bad from what i can give you! caramel (my bigger piggie) has been sitting...

hello all! i just had a few questions about caring for my new piggie. 1) should i change the food pellets every day? i've heard some people say yes and some say no, but that would mean i'd be throwing away so much food. shouldn't i just wait until the bowl is almost empty? 2) same as above...

hello all! i got a new piggie today to be a buddy for my bootsy, but when i went to pick him up, the cage he was in had NO timothy hay whatsoever. just pellets and water. the pigs were all healthy and plump, so it's not looking like they were starving. the boy i picked out ate some pellets on...

hello all! as some of you may know, i'm a new-ish guinea pig owner. (backstory, the short version: got a guinea when i was 9/10, went to school, my grandma (who hated the poor little guy) drove it to the pet store and gave it to a random kid in the parking lot before i got home) i just got a...
