How did you find out about the forum?

I don't have much experience looking after guinea pigs so I Googled "guinea pig forum" and joined this one. I just wanted to get advice on the best ways to look after them and meet other guinea pig owners! :luv:
 
I had a two year old sick guinea pig. I had just got a lap top and after seeking veterinary treatment I googled and found this Forum. I only wish I had discovered it earlier as I am sure if I had been able to access the advice and information freely available here the outcome for my guinea pig would have possibly been different. I then learnt how to bond guinea pigs safely and have even got two more guinea pigs via this forum. I am now always checking to keep updated with guinea pig care issues. It is the best forum for advice and support.
 
I was using Google to look at C and C layouts for my piggies and found the forum. Browsed it regularly for ages before taking the plunge and joining. Learn something new most days (and I've kept piggies for 15 years!).
 
Now I've got you hooked! when are you getting your own piggies? :lol!:
 
I found the forum through the rehome website, which had a link to TGPF, when I was looking for a new prospective wife for Llewelyn after his elderly lady friend started showing signs of organ failure. I liked the forum because it was very friendly. Most of my friends have come through the forum and the piggy community - as well as nearly all of my Tribe piggies...
 
i think i heard about it on the rabbit forum. was so excited to join when i adopted my first wonderful piggy called ches. closely followed by maisie :luv::luv:
 
I found it by accident whilst looking for health and care information online. I am so glad I did otherwise I would never have learned about boar dating and I would have had some lonely piggies when their cage mates died! Thankfully I have learnt loads and now my boys have a wonderful life due to that knowledge. My piggy family has grown and changed and soon we look to add a new member to keep Struan company and tey are all so much the better for the knowledge and experience found on this forum. I've made some amazing hooman friends too :)
 
Yes I found it my accident too. I am not internet savvy but when i had two young boars who were fighting, I was looking everywhere for good information and stumbled across the forum. Some experienced members really helped me with that issue and then I started researching other aspects of piggie life eg food and housing. I have also found some of my rescue boars via the forum and made some human friends also. I do tend to lurk a lot and use it as a source of info rather than doing loads of posting but really value the forum for info and connections. I think the forum does tend to change in tone depending on who the regular posters are and I have had to leave it alone sometimes but at the moment it seems to be in a v friendly phase which is great.
I am not a member of any other forums as they generally scare the pants off me!

PS _ It is the forums 'fault' that I have 6 boars - pre-forum it was just 2!

We know what you mean.... :agr:

When we joined the forum we had only one as Wallace had just lost his cagemate... Now we have 9 of our own and 6 fosters and wouldn't have it any other way.. :hug:
 
I was looking for information because Columbia was ill, found TGPF and immediately became a member as it looked so friendly. I have found out about rescue piggies through this forum and now have 6 piggies instead of 2...I have also found lots of really nice people when we have forum meets.
 
I acquired 3 piggies, found their behaviour a little off when they got bigger. Hubby and I were researching cage sizes on a hunch they were squabbling because of their cage found a different website in cage sizes. More research on Google, found a link to the site following a post/thread on sizing and BOOM, got hooked, continued looking around and about 2 months later joined properly.

I started with 3, a few have gained their wings and new furry friends welcomed via rescue. I have 4 plus 2 on foster whom I adore.

Wouldn't be without them.
 
Hi

I found this forum on Facebook. It has popped up on a few piggy pages I follow on there.
The reason I joined is because there seems to be a great deal of advice on here, which is never a bad thing! Also my I think I have subjected my friends and family to enough pig related talk to last them a life time hahaha...so where better to talk about pigs than here :)
 
I was just google searching for cage ideas and health concerns and this forum always popped up. I joined because the knowledgeable people weren't condescending and nasty to people asking questions unlike other forums. So glad that I found it x
 
I searched on google for advice on bathing long haired guineas and this forum came up. Then I searched a few other guinea questions and this site kept coming up! Seems to have the answer to everything!
