My name is Annelle - an enthusiastic new Guinea Pig parent. I have two little boys (less than 6 months old,) named Banjo and Snoopy. I intended to stop there until I was at a Petco and felt horrible for a bigger male who was being kept alone in the small cage. My heart when out to him and I...
I currently have 3 piggies.
Here are Russell and S'mores.
Here's Petey.
I got Petey and S'mores together when they were teeny tiny babies. They lived in harmony until they both turned roughly 4 months old. That was the same time I introduced baby Russell to them.
Things went well for about...
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...
Introduced Ronan (4 week old texel) to my other two tonight and it went really well! I have Caspar, a 5 week old teddy and Rupert, a 4 year old part sheltie. Poor Rupert with all these babies! He popcorned when he first saw them both so I think he's happy for the company!
I know I might get...
These are from floor time this past weekend. The light isn't great but hopefully you can see them scampering around (and jumping the chair legs) well enough! There were three but one has music in the back ground that was blocked :(
My three girls are somewhere around their first birthday (basically anytime in September!) BB is currently the heaviest (!) at 850g, Chewie is 830 and Rey is 780g. Here's a *few* pictures. I have got a video of them leaping the chair legs, but I haven't got around to uploading it to YouTube!
Hi all proud newbie owner here that has been researching and reading countless forums on here already to prepare myself for the new arrivals but I really need some more advice and couldn't find any similar thread, I'm rather worried about one of our new Guinea pigs we brought 3 females home...
Hi, I have three 9 month old (ish) sisters who get along great. Chewie and BB are more affectionate to each other than to Rey, but no one is bullied or left out in any way.
The accountant at work also has a pair of older girls (maybe 3 yrs?) and has previously asked if I would take the...
Had my partner's sister and her husband over last night and to cheer her up (her job may be on the line now we've been voted out) I got all three pigs out an plonked two of them on her lap. After BB made quite a scarey break for freedom from her husbands lap, I added her to the pile and se was...
Hi, I'm new to the forum. I haven't had guinea pigs for several years and have previously had at different times pairs of sows. However as I'm aware guinea pigs like to live in larger groups would it be better for me to get three rather than two this time? I have already ordered a 2x4 c&c cage...
I had the day off work today and as Rey still needs 3x eye drops each day, I decided to keep the girls inside.
I used their outdoor run to create a barrier keeping them in the dining room and let them run around for about 40 mins including lunch :) I had to use some tunnels and their indoor...
I hope this works! This was their first proper floor time as a trio. They have all had un-sanctioned floor time individually before. OH is worried about them peeing on the carpet. We were creating a human barrier between the safe dining room and the wires-everywhere living room and computer...
I own three male guinea-pigs consisting of two brothers and a half-brother. I've had them for over a year now, and they're around 12 - 13 months old. These guys have got on pretty well without any arguing or squabbles, but suddenly, out of nowhere, the half-brother has randomly turned on one of...
Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums and to boars in general!
I've owned 4 females in the past and they all got along well with each other, but just today I discovered several shallow bite wounds on the rump and side of one of my boys. I feel horrible as they appear to be a few days old (dry...
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...
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...
i currently have two 5.5 month old sows that have been together since they were 7 weeks old, they live in a 5x2 double storey hutch with permanent access via a wooden tunnel/ramp to a 7x2 outdoor enclosed run. The hutch is kept within my shed that has heating/lighting. What I would like to know...
