piggies

This is probably a dumb question, but does it take a certain number of piggies to make a herd? Also, I want a good size herd but I'm not sure how many I should have. Any suggestions?

So, here's the situation: We have two guinea pigs (males), they've always been together (they're two years old). They behave normally, although we noticed that the alpha is mounting the other pig pretty often - but it was never anything dangerous for piggies. We have decided to adopt a new...

I'm a new guinea pig owner and have two piggies, both a few months old. One of them, my first bought one, Leia, has suddenly become extremely agressive and nasty. Here is some maybe helpful background information: I bought Leia about two months ago now. She was very sweet and timid, loved to be...

I heard woofing from mine and my sisters dog so I checked it out, they were both bullying my piggies. I never get angry and shout at my dog but this time I told them. Very loud. Nobody bullies my piggies.

So it was feeding time (Could tell by wheeking) so I got them some apple. I put some slices through and they took it out of my hand like normal. One slice they both came up for it so I was expecting a tug of apple. But nope! I was holding it and they both started nibbling it together while it...

Okay so I just got Beans out for a cuddle and she just ran so after 2 minutes I had to put her back in her cage because otherwise she would jump off the sofa and break a leg. She just runs off. Doesn't even stay on me for a minute :no: She used to be really cuddly and cwtchy and I don't know...

Sadly I aren't getting any more guineas since I lost Ruby after owning them for over forty years, I couldn't go through the heartbreak again. I think I've reached a point where I worry too much about them and I visit my daughter a lot who lives away, a neighbour looked after Ruby for me over...

Hi, i was just wondering if there are any popular edible toys for guineas, as mine has only one for now he has a little cardboard tube which he loves. I just wanted to see if there are any really good ones out there that are popular with most piggies as i dont really want to buy something he...

What do you think of the XXL hamster balls that petstores market for piggies? I personally think it's cruel to put any animal into a plastic ball without access for food or drink. What are your opinions? Do you like them? Do you use them for your piggies? I'd like to hear opinions on this. And...

I purchased a new cage for my piggies with two floors,I have two boys, I left them to it and hoped their curiosity would encourage them to go down/up it however I had no such luck so I tried placing some veggies down it hoping it would entice them down, again no such luck! I also tried putting...

I have cherry tomato but not sure if there safe for my piggies thanks for helping me!

Hi all, today whilst I was cleaning my Guinea pigs Duke and Aladdin's hutch, I noticed some awful little wriggly things. I instantly knew they were maggots because I have been experiencing some issues with flies even though I have a fly net on the hutch! I feel like such an awful owner and have...

Couldn't resist sharing this picture of my gorgeous (biased I know) boys xx

I've taken about a million photos of Beans and Toast in the space of a couple of days. They're just so beautiful I can't help myself :love:

I'm wondering are there any irish members on this site or am I a lone leprechaun :P It would be cool to chat and know there are any meet ups happening in the country!

Does anyone else have about 100 photoshoots a week with their pigs? I absolutely adore my beautiful girls and I can't help myself, I have at least 5000 pictures of them on my phone... :whistle: Beautiful Beans :wub: Pretty Toasty :luv: :love:

only a short garden time for their first time (I know they are used to grass as rescuer used to feed them grass) but here is the boys enjoying being outside. So nice to see them enjoying it and getting exercise. :luv:

I know I'm biased but I think I have two very beautiful pigs :)):love:

It's well known amongst my friends and family that I'm slightly obsessed with my piggies. Always talking about them, always taking pictures of them, always sending everyone said pictures.. Well today I hit a new low. I was in B&M when I seen nice bedding. I got home and changed the bedding...
