My piggies both had a bath because my long haired one had some pee/poo stains on his fur. I only bathed his back side and didn't go anywhere near his face/head and they hated it. However I had little/no issues getting them dry. I gave them some gentle towel rubbing and then sat them under a heat...

As suggested by this study, UVB light may well be a significant consideration for guinea pig "husbandry" that is not currently being recommended. Having lost two boars to stone-related issues and knowing how common calcium stones can be, I am now pretty much convinced of the benefits of UVB...

Hi everyone, I've been shopping around on the internet after finally deciding to invest in some UVB lighting for our guinea pigs. Does anyone have a bulb and/or lamp that they can recommend? It seems to be quite a complex field in terms of wattage, light/heat ratios and power etc. and the only...

Heat lamps are agreat idea. x

These aren't my pigs. They are my girlfriends. She asked me to watch them for the last few months while she's been away, and at some point I got mixed up and a boar ended up in the girls pen. Six of the pigs got pregnant. Three have given birth, but not a single baby has survived. I didnt...

...of guinea pigs and my plan is to divide the stable into two so my 2 groups have loads of space to live in, they will be able to have heat lamps and lots of toys etc. What I need to know is how high does the divide need to be to stop my boys getting to my girls?! It will of course be gig safe...

...at the door is a good idea, they have nice ones in home bargains for like a fiver, i'll buy one of those and the emergency blankets. :) Heat lamps are quite expensive and i need something to heat the whole cage. Luna even though she obviously get's cold wont sit near the heat pads, so i...

...still gets quite chilly on really cold nights. I've been trawling the interweb, and most heat solutions seem revolve around either heat lamps or microwaveable pads, but I've just found a low voltage pet heat pad that apparently gives off a low heat - now what I'm wondering is if I put it...

Would those be the infa-red kind of lights that poultry breeders/farmers use? Many years ago, I borrowed an incubator and infa-red light and hatched and reared my own flock of chickens. Once hatched, the chicks spent several weeks in the garage in a pen under an infa-red light for warmth...

Have you tried solar lamps? I'm going to look if they sell a solar heating lamp my wife wants me to do something but I'll get back to you. I know how it is I have a one year old daughter and I cannot work because of my spine disease but the government says it's not enough to get disability even...

Lid will ALWAYS be off, and room is in the basement. With my tortoises heat lamps and the "cooler" temps in the basement we stay at about 68-70 degrees. No condensation at all.

We don't have any heating but they have a heat pad and a scratch and newton hutch cover. Can you buy heat lamps, or do heat mats exist? Also would they be fine with just Aubiose in the living area and hay as well in the sleeping areas? What temperature should I put the heat pad in thier cage...

Hi there sorry for jumping into your conversation but I see your having bother with Scottish power and you are looking into pre payment metres I can honestly say since moving into my flat which already had them installed they are great and I can keep track of how much gas and electricity I use...

...have to my landlord is scared of rodents!:( :td:If you keep them outside thermal hutch covers, snuggle safe heat pads, house insulation, heat lamps are all good. I you want any more info on cold weather care just start a conversation with me as I cannot list everything on here! This hutch...

My gigs have always been outdoor gigs, they will have their hutches within their halves so they have somewhere familiar to bunk down and I use snuggle safe microwave pads they will have too. The advantage is they can also have a heat lamp to snuggle under too so they have plenty of warmth and...

Hi, Thank you for your reply Yes it's good that they found no stones, but wander if it's possible for them to be too small to show or be hidden though? I know he's only young and his friend Fudge eats the same and he's fine. Rolo is 994g in weight currently. He has 0.4ml of baytril x2 day And...

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/search/filter/panel-heaters/type/any/module/shopcategory/page/1 i bought the £54 one of these for my kitchen as its freezing in the winter, these panel heaters use about 4 light bulbs worth of electric when on, it takes the chill off of my kitchen & you can...

Although I've brought my piggies in for winter now I was wondering what type of heaters people use for piggies living in sheds over the winter . I have a summer time pig shed in which I keep my 2 boys and it has electricity running to it but I've never attempted to try heating it . I have...

Thanks for all the replies; I will get a UV lamp to be safe. My main concern was keeping them close to me. Sometimes Dahlia gets way too aggressive with trying to mount Iris when she's in heat, so I like to be within hearing distance of them so I can catch when this happens and put Dahlia in...

...obviously look into what your getting and placement of them so as not to be a fire/electrical hazard (same with any heat source really), heat lamps also offer more direct heat but only dull emitter bulbs will provide heat without light and they would only really be of use if the pigs had free...
