How did you find out about the forum?

Guiness was poorly and I needed advise, every search brought up the forum, so I realised that it was the most knowledgeable site I was going to find, and was hoping that I would be able to share my love of piggies with like minded people who wouldn't judge me for being so "green" (scuze the pun) about certain ailments and behaviours

Needless to say - you are all GREAT and I'm so glad I found you
 
Hi! I found the forum through google! I wanted somewhere to go where I could talk to people who knew what I was talking about hah. My friends don't really care about piggies or having pets which is a shame coz I think they are so rewarding! I'm so pleased I found this forum! I'm on it everyday and I love it. I have met some wonderful people on here. And some good friends x @gwinnypiggylove has been a really helpful and sweet person too x lol if your reading this thought I'd give you a mention lol x thts how I found the forum and I think it's amazing x
 
I can't even remember properly aha, been that long. I'm pretty sure it would have been Google again, I know I had already had the pigs for a while and had been on here a good couple of times browsing before I decided to join, must have just done a google search and found it then eventually got bored of just reading and decided to actually sign up :roll:.

We are glad you did!

Thanks to everyone for your replies it gives us a handle on how we are doing!
 
I found the site while researching about guinea pigs.
As I am considering getting some and have never kept them before, having a resource to call upon seemed a good idea - I have questions already about how to best prepare.
I've been a member of other online communities and have always found them to be friendly places to meet like-minded people.
 
Came across the site on Google while researching for the guinea pigs I was about to adopt. Read a few of the threads and then decided to join when I actually got my girls.

Googled guinea pig forums :) I'm a member of another forum, which is very good to be fair, but this one seems much more busy, vibrant and alive :D

Google again! Good stuff :)

I hope you enjoy it here and stay active on both, forums are under threat a little from facebook - but are much more a community and a great store of information than FB will ever be.

Thanks for your comments, they help let us know how we can grow our user base .
 
FB isn't a favourite of mine. I guess I like the fact that forums are a little more private, not broadcast to the world, easier to navigate and there is loads more info on them which is easier to find :D
 
I found this forum through a rescue that I support and thought it would be nice to chat to other guinea slaves :)
 
Through Google looking for advice and a guinea pig friendly club also so i didnt boar my parents to death with the did you know this, look what Bakewell just did and the i think its constipated thing! x
 
It was Google for me too. I had been thinking about getting a pet for a number of years and so I'd been lurking on here and a number of other forums during that time as I tried to make up my mind. When I finally decided on Guinea pigs I had no hesitation in joining. So many things you can learn, and such helpful people! :tu:
 
I think I was looking on Google to see what pigs can and cannot eat, so clicked this website. I used it a few times to check if certain foods were ok, and then made an account!

Found through Google whilst looking for some advice. Had a browse through the forums and thought there was a lot of knowledge about living day to day with guinea pigs.
Find the stickies useful and have printed out the food list so I know what to give and avoid.

Where is that list?

As our wonderful forum is growing daily and, we hope you'll agree, is better than ever, it would be useful to know how you first found out about us and why you decided to join.

How did you come across us? Did someone recommend the forum to you? Did you find us through a social media site (e.g Facebook) Did you find us through a search engine?

What made you join? Were you looking for some specific advice? Did you want to join a community which you perceived to have similar interests to you?

Any other thoughts and comments would be gratefully received!

Just googling about guinea pigs.
 
Hello,
gee, I just had to search my History pages to find how I came here. I typed Guinea Pig Urine is White in a google search and ended up on the page... http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/guinea-pig-urine-is-milky-white.52534/ It made me feel so relieved reading that it is normal to have white stains on a dark towel, which is what I saw on my towel. As I had read elsewhere that if it is gritty, then that is really bad, so I kept looking to read more about it and ended up here.
I stayed as a visitor reading and saw all the wonderful comments and such helpful advice that I signed up. At first, because it was a site from England, I was not going to, however there were comments from the USA and then I saw and an Australian commenting too, so that tipped me to sign up.
It is the best site.
The other one I spent many hours at was www.guinealynx.info pages to download their weight and health diary. Their site kept me reading for days and I downloaded many of the ones they offered.
Thank you for your time, Byeee
 
When I was looking for guinea pig advice and just generally googling about guinea pigs I found the forum in the search results. Ever since then I've been on the forum. Even though I haven't been on the forum as long as others have, it's been amazing seeing how the forum has progressed and grown.
 
Hello, I only joined up yesterday after purchasing 3 sows (Also yesterday), I typed into the Google search engine "Guinea pig forum" and this is the first and the one I went straight onto and joined, I am learning a lot and love my 3 piggies, they are the very first I have ever had.
