Hi, I’m just posting because I'm absolutely devastated about the death of my 9 month old guinea pig and I guess I hoping someone here might help me gain closure / process what has happened. Sorry for the long description. To try to summarise, my previously perfectly healthy little piggy gradually...

Hi guys so my 4yr old girl had her best mate pass away and i needed to get her a new friend. At first I got her a de-sexed 3yr old boy but they didnt get along straight away as they are both too dominant and the boy started attacking my girl each time i tried to bond them (quite aggressively...

Hi hi! My 4 month old girl, Café, her wheaks got noticeably raspy/not crisp+sharp one morning after rescuing her from her head getting stuck in a toilet paper tube. She was screaming a lot, so I wasn’t sure if it was because of that. Her wheaks stayed raspy from then on. I listened to her...

Been trying to bond my 2 older pigs who are 8 and 3 (8 year old has not been a problem she likes the young girl) with my new piggie probably about 6 months old ! And she has been cuddling up to them and loving on them but my 3 year old pig hasn’t been a fan she has nipped and gone sfter her...

My heart is broken this morning. I don't know what I did wrong, or what went wrong, but our little girl died yesterday very suddenly. My daughter asked to hold her in the morning and I went to get her and she was like a limp noodle in my hand. Her one nostril was blocked and I wiped it with a...

Hello! I’ve recently adopted a young guinea pig. She is 1 or 2 months old. She eats well, and plays. When I first got her though, I noticed a darker looking patch of fur underneath her right ear. Now, a week later. The spot has no hair, and it looks rather dry/flaky. It is about the size of a...

i have two female guinea pigs (called Alby and Birch) who i've had for nearly two weeks now. they are from the same litter and are both just over a month old. they're still in the process of bonding however i think they got in a bit of an argument whilst i was asleep and Birch now has a cut on...

Hi there, I've got a 2 month old girl, Taco, and i am looking to get her a companion. She's been getting used to her new home and situation. Was unable to get two initially but I know it'd be best for her if I do. Was looking for another young lady to pair with her. I've read through all the...

Hi I’m just wondering if there are any ways to tell the age of a guinea pig from features or anything like that, getting two piggies but as they were found and brought to the rescue I’m getting them from, they don’t know how old they are so just wondered if there’s anyway I can find out the age...

Hi guys, I had one sow (Berry, around 6 years old) originally and 2 days ago I took in two young sows (pumpkin, and Wednesday, both around 6 months old) So basically, when they were first out together they were wonderful, they were eating together on neutral surroundings. I had a couple of...

I have had my pigs since August and I was just wondering if there is a period that they will not enjoy chin rubs. Obviously not all of them are guaranteed to want them.. but are they just scared right now and don’t want to relax that much? They are starting to all come up to me when I reach in...

A couple weeks ago I noticed Bubbles had two lumps on each side of her belly, near her legs. I felt Nymeria and kind of felt something too so I assumed it was just normal and it was her organs. Just a few days ago I found out you can feel ovarian cysts in guinea pigs. Could it be cysts? I don't...

Hi, I am really devastated as one of my Guinea pigs died last night she was sister to my surviving piggy. I love them so much and I am incredibly worried about my lone Guinea pig (Elsa) and how she will cope. I have had Guinea pigs before but when one of the sister died that time they were both...

My beautiful Peruvian girl, Chanel passed away last night. I found her this morning laid out on top of a snuggle sack with her eyes open. She was only 11 months old and this has come as a huge shock to me, I am completely devastated. She was a perfectly healthy guinea pig. She did have a...

So, finally. I got Nanook a little friend. I know it has been a while since I posted about her. And I thank everyone who gave advice. She was seeming down and recluse, so we finally got her a friend. Her name is Nymeria. Currently they are in separate cages. When we brought her home we bathed...
