How did you find out about the forum?

Pets at home recommended i look at here for information when i adopted flake. The store in nottingham was quite good and only a certain staff member sorted us and was clued up, surprisingly. I didnt join then, only did when i adopted buttons from a rescue and they initially didnt get on and found info, liked this friendly forum and stayed.

I was searching for advice on Guinea Pigs and found this forum. I joined as I like the idea of everybody sharing stories, photos and advice on their guinea pigs.

My husband stumbled across this forum while searching for articles for dealing with the loss of a guinea pig. He shared it with me and, after a cursory browse, I thought this could be an invaluable reasource. I don't know many others who adore piggies like I do, so it has been a pleasure browsing this forum ☺

thanks for that. Lovely to have you join us here.
 
I had, had enough of the rudeness from the forum that I had previously been with. The heated topics, the arguments, it was a bit too much for me, but I do enjoy a good forum and a chat with people so I decided to search for a friendlier forum! I browsed through several before coming here, and here I am :cool:
I love guinea pigs!
 
My children had a coloney of piggies and bred them for a number of years in the days before the internet was invented, sadly my daughter Kay passed away recently from Breast cancer, and l was reminded at the funeral of her life long love of Piggies, and l found myself browsing a local pet shop whilst on holiday in Yorkshire a few weeks later, and came home with my two baby piggie girls, who are now about 6 months old. I am debating whether to breed from them eventually, they are both smooth coats, Amber is a pink eyed pale cream piggie, and is very friendly and cheeky, her mate Kitty is the more nevous one of the pair, and is a Tri-colour with very pretty markings in her coat. I would love a Sheltie coated piggie boy, as this was one of Kays favourite breeds when she was a child. I look forward to reading everyones posts on the forum and sharing tips and tricks regarding the world of Piggies and their care.

Sorry, l forgot to add that l found you through a Google search after viewing the Uk Cavy Club website looking at the pictures of all the different breeds available these days.
 
I was googling for a replacement ramp for my outside piggie house. (Still haven't found one, if anyone has any ideas!) I work a lot of night shifts in a nursing home, so I get a fair bit of downtime to scroll through the forums. Does anyone know if there's an Australian equivalent?
 
In 2009 my daughter came home from work with 2 guinea pigs and their hutch as her colleague was moving and couldn't take them with her. My daughter said she knew I would love them. She was right but it was years since I'd had piggies, a Google search found me this forum, I didn't join then just lurked round the edges! Last year when I became a piggy slave once again I bit the bullet and signed in, so glad I did the forum has been invaluable in many ways.
 
I found you because we inherited a tank full of 20 year old tropical fish when my nan died and they became ill from the move so my brother joined a tropical fish forum and got so much help and advice from there so when I noticed a white patch on my frankie pigs eye I decided to join a forum too. I googled guinea pig forum and there you were, I couldn't actually believe how kind and helpful the response I got was, my mind was totally at rest and now know it's actually quite common. Everyone is so lovely and I have been made to feel so welcome. I am so happy that Ellie created this website because like already said she has changed the lives of so many people and piggies ❤️

I found out from Peter Cook and Loiise
 
I had piggies as a kid and now that I'm an adult, I suddenly realised one day that I missed the sound of wheeking and had too many veggies for just myself! I decided I was going to get some piggies from my local rescue (Raystede, if anyone lives near it I 100% recommend it, it's wonderful!).

Once I'd decided to get two girlies I took to google and found a few different sites and forums, but every time I needed some information it seemed like the best, most in depth, information to be found was this site! I lurked for a few months as I set everything up but joined about week after I got my lovely babies, and I'm so glad I did.

This forum is so helpful and friendly, it's so nice to see that other people love and care about piggies as much as I do, and don't just see them as a "disposable rodent" like many people I know. The support here is fantastic :)
 
Well we're getting to piggie girls on Sunday, so I have been on the internet permanently the last few days trying to learn everything I possibly could to give them the best home possible! I found you guys through a Google search! This is the first post I've read, but everyone says how friendly it is, I can't wait to get reading and chatting! I had guinea pigs growing up, and to be honest they probably didn't have the best upkeep in terms of space to run etc... They were always fed watered and clean, we're wanting to do the best job possible x
