Hi,i was wondering....how many guinea pigs can live in a kids pool??/
I'm not sure a kids pool would be suitable,theyd chew their way out.have you thought about buying the grids and making a cc cage they look great and you can make them as big as you need
Thanks SO much guys!ill try to get her on here so she can see for herself!also my guinea's live in my room...and i dont have much room for a huge c&c cage....and i could keep them down stairs but then we wouldnt get to see them as much...Also my mom doent really care about them so she refuses if they get sick or somthing to take them to the vet..so i have to pay the vet bills...even though I'm 12 i do have a job but i dont get payd more than 20 a week!What should i do?!

Hi again Alexis,
for a room effective C&C cage you can do 2 storey so they still have lots of room but take up less floor space,
to tell you the truth if you currently have 4 pigs and have another possible 4 coming thats 8 possibly pigs with very limited vetcare,
at your age you really need your parents on board to help with the financial part of piggies.
i have 8 and last week i took two to the vet as one was balding and the other had a lump
to get the mite test,lump testing,checkup it cost me over $200 and that is by far my cheapest bill ever for my pigs.
Basically what I'm saying is i dont agree that pigs are at all healthy animals,i have had quite a few issues with mine so i know how easily they can fall ill,
usually when they do it happens quickly so its up to us to make sure they get checkups and good vetcare.
if you cant persuade your mum to help out with money i would say you need to rehome a few or possibly they whole lot,
i know its not what you want to hear but even just having 2 pigs can result in mass bills and $20 a week is nowhere near enough to prepare even if you save it every week.
if you do keep the pigs i advise you save every cent you get.
the way I'm looking at it is if you canty get them correct housing or vetcare then maybe they need to be in a home that can take care of those needs.
no offence intended xxxxxxx
Hi....i just talked to my mother and she said that she will compromise with me!she said that she will buy enough material to make 4 larg C&C cages as long as i pay half the price!she also said that if they need vet care then agian ill have to pay half the price!so were going to give one of the pups away to a very good friend of my moms...and then keep the rest...do you think all of thats good?because id feel terrible having to rehome them all!so what do you think?:red

None - they dont swim very well

i think thats a good start,
the best thing in my opinion is to rehome all babies and just keep your 4 adults,then you will have 2 bonded sows and then could neuter your boar to go in with mummy pig,
that way vet bills are less,you can give them great big houses and not be stuck for room,less money on veg/pellets/hay/ and all other piggy expenses.Just remember that just one piggy getting ill could cost hundreds and at $20 a week you may find it hard to meet even half of that,the unfortunant thing is the more piggies you have the increased chance there is of more illness so its better to keep your numbers lower and provide top care for the pigs you have rather than very average care for more pigs.
I know that your probably all excited about the baby pigs as they are just so cute,
but even if you do rehome them you still get 6-8 weeks with them when they are bubs before they go to new homes without 8-10 years of room and financial drain.
i think you should try give it alot of though and really think about the piggies
goodluck xxxxxxxx
i talked to my mom about it again and so were going to rehome all of the pups exept for a female so milly (the mom) wont be alone...
thats a fantastic idea,I'm sure your piggies will appreciate lots of room x
good idea, i am glad you have put your piggies first and they will thank you for it! Well done!
Well i really do care for my guinea pigs and there happyness(sorry about my spelling!hehe) so i thought it would be best that the ones i have get there own special atention(spelling!uugg)...but i also know that there very social so they should be kept in pairs(not always for boars though!)so Thanks every body!
P.S these c&c cages are hard to pute together!
