sows

***Warning: long, soppy post.*** It's the 1 year anniversary of when I got the beautiful Beans and Toasty. As soon as I seen them I had to get them, I just fell in love with them instantly. Both were very neglected/mistreated by previous owners, Toast was left in a hutch and Beans was an...

So. I have a new baby Guinea pig that I just introduced to my teenage Guinea pig. The older one is Nanook, and the younger one is Nymeria. Now, Nanook and Nymeria seem to be getting along.. Until Nymeria tries to do anything. Nanook will chase her and make her scared. This is the first day, so I...

hiya I have one lilac pig, a pink eyed white, a torteshell and a ginger and white. One has pink ears, one has a ginger ear and a pink ear, another has a pink ear and a black ear and the lilac has grey. I was wondering do they need to have sun cream rubbed on their ears as they're out in the day...

I have 4 sows and they get on fine but one of the girls is very dominant and gets a bit moody if one of the other girls does something she doesn't like. They have a run which is over 6ft and have a hutch against the run to go in for the daytime and They also have a shed with a stable door, which...

all my girls are ex-breeders that we rescued. I have 3 Swiss's and 1 self. Pink eyed White Swiss is called Olive, the torteshell Swiss is called Martha, the ginger and white Swiss is called Elsie and the lilac self is called Violet. They range from 1 year old to 2.5 years old

Hiya Me and my mum rescue all our animals, only time we've had anything from babies is our kittens which were neglected and was given to us for free! Anyway, so we took in a female Guinea pig in February and she was alone for a month until we decided to get her a friend (we were worried because...

I’ve had my two sows for almost 6 months. I got them when they were about 6 weeks old. One is very feisty & moody, the other sweet & shy, they are both adorable. The feisty one (Minnie) tends to be the bully. The bullying behavior goes on day after day and is worse when Minnie is in season...

So my story goes, I have 9 pigs. 6 female and 3 male. All my females are or will be housed together in a roughly 20 square foot C&C cage. I then have two males housed together and my last one alone because he fought with both my other boys regardless. The two males housed together (Mocha and...

I'm not sure what's going on with the pigs but lately they don't seem to like each other a lot of the time.. When I first got them about 10 months ago Beans was the dominant pig. She was never aggressive towards Toast and was usually very laid back, but it was clear she was the one in charge...

Hello, I'm a new piggy owner and have two females, Keira (18 weeks old) and Natalie (9 weeks old). I've read that mounting is common amongst female pigs (I assumed only males did it but after some research I see that both sexes do this) however I haven't stumbled accords anything about...

We have just bought two female sows a week ago and they've been together since. We are inexperienced guinea owners but have read up on a lot before and since purchasing them. However, there is a lot of contradictory information around and its always something else to see behaviour rather than...

So I've used a box to make a little hay house and Beans likes it so much she won't let poor Toasty in...

I own 2 around 1 year old girls who I aqcuired together, they have been together since I'm sure they can remember. I also recently aquired two new girls, perhaps around 5-7 months old. The two pairs were separate for the first two months and I recently introduced them. On the floor they were...

Hiya! I noticed that every time I have lap-time with S'mores, she'll sit on my lap for about one minute while I pet her, and then scramble up my shirt and onto my shoulder. She burrows into my hair. She will nip the back of my neck, although she rarely does that and usually just moves around...

We currently have a pair of happily bonded girls. In the next couple of weeks we will be in a position where we can build a large c&c cage for them and thought this may be a good opportunity to expand the herd... I am wondering if you would recommend introducing one or two new piggies at a...

Help! I have two girls (Biggie and Smalls) who are currently around six to seven months old. I've had them since they were little baby piggies and I notice a huge change since they've been going through puberty. Biggie and Smalls used to be very skittish, but with patience and constant handling...

Hello! I currently own two female sows just over 1 year old and as the youngest one is very playful I was thinking of bringing another sow to the pair so she has an equally energetic pig to enjoy her younger years with. The older girl is quite dominant and previously has chased and been quite...

Ive had Pippa for about a year and a half and Eva just under a year. Eva came into my care after Pippas original partner died suddenly. Eva is an Aby Guinea so as some of you may know a lot cheekier and likes to be the dominant one. They were bonded properly when I got her and it seemed like...

Hi everyone! I'm a bit new so sorry if I make any mistakes. I recently bought a baby sow from my local pet store and she is adorable. The problem first started with my two other girls, Zoe and Mae. I introduced the baby, Halcey, to Zoe and Mae in a new area, on a freshly washed fleece, with...

Hi I've had my 2 piggies (Patricia and Dorothy) for over 3 years now, they are 2 sisters and have always lived together in their cage. From an early age I've known which one was the dominant (Patricia) and they have never really fallen out. They both have their moments while in season when...
