I thought it would be fine as it's a small item so was very shocked to see my guinea pig with part of it stuck round her neck.It obviously distressed her.I think I will send them an email just to let them know.They are a good company.
As if there's less likely to be aggression that way, especially given that Harry's known the wife life!
PAH aren't known for their expertise on guinea pigs.Spoke to Pets at Home on the phone this morning just to explore my options. They do have sows but they don't recommend bonding Harry with girls as there's a fear he'll be aggressive... chap on the phone did suggest trying him with a boar instead, though
That'll be some obsessive mopping on my to do list for this afternoon, then!
Yes I’ve always found it really annoying, my cousin has two sows from PAH and they always seem so tiny and fragile, especially compared to my friends herd who are mostly from rescues or very good breeders. I have also noticed a similar pattern there with hamsters. And those cage sizes are all so devastating.
If Harry is neutered then I would go for a girl, what is that shop on about?!
Fingers crossed they get back to you today!
The guinea pigs and other furry little pets are shipped from breeding facilities that are about a state away. They are put in boxes and shipped to the pet stores in the area. Apet is the company that provides a bunch of all the pet store animals in the states around Illinois. I used to work for one of the big chain pet stores when I was a teen.In the US., we ship animals via post (baby and adult poultry, fish and amphibians), and other animals via private carriers. I don’t know how gp are shipped, but I digress. It’s a shame I can’t offer my baby pigs to you guys. I’m not about to sell them to the local pet shops.
I never know what that shop is on about. Some years back I was wanting a baby boar to bond with a bereaved boar I had. I explained ro them why I was wanting a single piggy. They asked me the age of my boar. I said he was two. They said because of his age they wouldn't sell me just one and that I would have to have a pair to live with him. I think we all know how that would most likely have turned out a few months down the line.
I think they need to review this.
Um ... surely thats rabbits?!?
I am sorry you can't get your meds. I think there is a production problem, a lot of vets are out of it too and having to use alternatives. Last time mine needed a repeat prescription I had to wait a few days to pick it up while the vets found some. It's a multi practise vets so they are sharing what they have in stock. Red's going for a check up before his repeat next week, I'm wondering if they will have any or if he will have to have an alternative which will cost a lot more.
