I do NOT mean to be rude, but for someone who asks for so much advice you sure could afford to be a little more gracious when people take the time to help you. And I don't think you should be so defensive about people assuming you have some growing up to do. SO many very good/experienced piggie owners have offered you so much wonderful advice and all you can do is be defensive and fight them. Stop making excuses! And stop getting mad when people bring up the relationship between your age/your behavior! When I first read your posts I thought you must be much younger than 17 in the first place. I had a hard time understanding anything you were saying. Your grammar and sentence structure suggests that you could very well still be in elementary school. Not that anyone cares if you use perfect English, but if your lack of effort makes it difficult for others to figure out your meaning, there IS a problem. You'll probably be angry that I brought it up, but at the end of the day it is something that is in your best interest to work on. No one will ever take you seriously if your English is so bad that they don't even know what you are trying to say in the first place. I also don't respect your decision to air all of your dirty laundry online. I had a hard childhood too, but it's no bodies business and those details are completely irrelevant to your ability to care for your two guinea pigs, or your ability to comprehend and heed good advice. I know all of this sounds harsh, but i'm just saying what everyone else was thinking and I think you should resist the urge to freak out and be offended and look at it as tough love If I didn't care I wouldn't say anything.

heh nah I get you I'm not annoyed or mad I was just being stupid, and yeah I have terrible grammer, my boyfriend always picks it out. i've never been the best for grammer. I have come to the conclusion when I am annoyed at something i act like a child when I want to be more of an adult. I wan not mad at the people on here I was upset in general and it was childish on me to even think about replying on here. I have Apologise, but I do understand if it takes awhile for people on this forum to forgive me and let me show that when i am not upset or annoyed for some reason show that i can be an adult no just some sooky teenager, which is all people have seen. \
p.s ill get better at the grammer promise
xo

Megan,

I'm glad to see you back, and already you are taking a more mature and understanding approach which is great, i really hope you can keep it up and we can help you to have healthy happy guinea pigs. I know we are not allowed to discuss breeding, but this is a MASSIVE NO! Even if it is just for youself, This is all i will say publicly, however i am more than happy to discuss this via private message if you want to know why and the serious risks and dangers of breeding.

Good luck with your boys and building them a big cage. x

oh when ppl post advice a way to not make the new ppl sound stupid or not good or being a bad slave would be to write the nice thoughts downs not neg ones, also ways to fix problems not ways it wouldnt work for i thought that myself. i know ppl are more experience than me that is why i want help not reasons to not have a girl piggie for ive never had a girl even as a little girl ages 5-9 (when i didnt look after them mum did) so * saying its impossible to have one doesnt help makes it worst

From my personal experience, I'd only have a max of 2 boars together.. for the pigs safety. I tried putting a 2 year old with a 2 month old AND a 6 week old boar together while I was waiting for the 4th to come home, so that the 2 month old would not be lonely...

I witnessed my very soppy, mellow 2 year old boar chatter his teeth and jump on the 2 month old... so I took him out right away.


If you are going to have a girl, you must get the boars neutered so that she can live with them. If you have a girl in a cage next to boars, they again will fight.

Sorry, Emily that is giving the wrong advice, i think maybe you meant the right thing but it has come across wrong, you could have ONE BOAR with a group of sows but you cannot have a group of boars with a sow(s) nuetuered or not they will still fight. Only one boar with a group of girls.

I have one neutered male with three girls and they do take up a fair bit of time, for me I make time by getting up at 6am to sort out the dog and the pigs before going to work at half 8, I dont get back till gone 9pm and thankfully have a partner who is home in the afternoon and he feeds them and checks on them for me, that is 4 days a week and I know the 4 are my limit as more pigs = more feeding, more poo and more time.

Much as I would love to home a pair - I have the space and the money, I know I dont have the time to spend with them and much as I would love a pair of boars, having females would mean I am limited to a pair of females realisticly and there are too many boys wanting homes for me to do this and follow my heart.

I also really want a second dog, but two disasters (pre piggies) has meant the only way is a puppy - I work full time so dog sitters will be needed, another finacial burden. What I have done is promise that I will seriously look into a puppy once I have puppy proofed my home - all my craft items are all over the house and too tempting for a puppy to chew, so I need to sort my home out (which I would have to do anyway if I decided to wait till my girl leaves us before getting a dog). Its all too tempting to go ahead and get one, so many unwanted animals, so many chances of getting one from a litter but it wont help me or my situation if I acted on my impulses and this is something you need to learn about as you go on through life.

So I understand you need and want, but you need to understand much as its hard to enjoy what you have already and give them the best you can for a while before you can plan and finalise what you want to aim for later on. I know you have now decided to hold off on girls, a good decision and now that is something you can aim for later on.

I am glad you have come back and are now listening to advice, it might seem that this post is going round in circles and covering old ground, but that is the nature of forums, each of us will express our opinions or advice which will cover old ground, but each has a valid point to it and no need to get upset or frustrated about it as that is the way forums go. I had held off posting for a long time but feel you are ready to have the advice you asked for.

Onwards and upwards young lady

Hey Megan

Welcome back, you are starting to sound a lot more mature and happy in your decision.

For what it's worth - we all get disapointed sometimes and I guess being sold the wrong sex (happened to me too) makes you go "meh". But pets are like children really in the respect that owners have full responsibility for welfare of them and their welfare has to come first.

I'd love to have more children and pets - but can't because I struggle with the time I have during the day and financially. Imagine something happened that bought an expensive vet bill? It would make me irresponsible to even consider adding to family right now.

You will get your girl - one day! It's never nice hearing things we don't want to hear, but channel that into positivitity (for every negative there is a positive). The positive here is that when the time is right for you to have girls, you will have more knowledge on how to make them as happy as can be.
