Hello, I have an older guinea pig who has recently lost the use of his back legs. It’s been about a week now and vet believes it to be neurological. He’s been completely fine in terms of eating/drinking etc. so we are just seeing how he gets on. However, yesterday I did turn around to find...

Just to add on that our piggies are tolerant and seem to enjoy my moderate singing- they also have their own songs. I used to sing Beat It and Park Life to foster pig, Beetle and our piggie Parkin. They have a particular Grass Time song when they go outside or we bring some indoors. Our piggies...

Hi y'all. I'm off on Monday, and I was thinking about going to the downtown animal shelter that day. I have room for another guinea pig now and they have a bunch of girls looking for homes. The babies always get adopted so I'm not going to be taking one of those home so what age would be...

Thanks for this Wiebke! I was hoping you'd pitch in - I always enjoy your posts about piggy behaviour and have learned so much from them :) That all makes perfect sense. I didn't know boars tend to be chattier throughout their lives, having only had sows so far. They're endlessly fascinating...

I've just been running and I was thinking exactly the same thing while I was out! If I move them to the 16m² room 2 herds could have quite a big space each😀

Hi everyone, I just am looking for some tips on bringing a dog into my home while having a piggy. I have a senior pig, Penny (she recently lost her cage mate but is doing fabulous on her own). She was very submissive to her sister and now she seems to actually be showing some of her...

We aired the room today and the heating has been on a couple of times, he is breathing really well. Still on the antibiotics. As the we go further into winter we will have the heating on more, do we need to put some cardboard in between the radiator and the cage to prevent overheating? I think...

Hi folks, My friend has asked if we could babysit her hamster whilst she is away. Is it safe to have a hamster in the same room as my guinea pigs? Each in their own cages obviously! They will never “meet” but it would be more straightforward to keep them in the same room. Thanks in advance!

First year I’ve been trying to keep the pigs outside instead of taking over the living room. They are in a non insulated wooden shed with access to a covered run and cardboard boxes filled with hay. Noticed scarlet tonight is wheezy a little. I’ve normally brought them inside by October but I...

Good Evening I adopted a neutered boar and sow just over 2 weeks ago and am new to guinea pigs. He is clearly the dominant pig and much more confident. She's very sweet and smart but clearly the underpig, I do hear squeals from her at times (they are indoors). Ive provided 2 of everything and...

Thank you. I'm planning on switching from our current hay brand as its also very expensive and switching to the online dustfreehay.co.uk. Hopefully I'm going to remove everything from the room and fully wipe it down, hoover etc. Then build new cages for the room. I'm thinking of bathing one of my...

...with hay getting mould etc over 24h? Will 24h change routine be enough? 3. Has anyone had any problems running a dehumidifier in guinea pig room overnight? 4. What temp variation is really a max? Do I really need to keep the radiator on 24/7? I just used to add a layer and fluffy socks and...

Hi guys - my female guinea pig DeeDee is 3 years old and recently lost her cage mate, another 6 six year old female piggie. Deedee usually eats a lot of hay and poops a lot throughout the day, but recently i noticed she only eats when I'm at home with her. when i leave for work and go back home i...

I know right, you guys are lucky. We are from the Philippines so we like it warmer haha

While we nervously wait for Maccy’s blood test results, today is Espresso’s 4th birthday! 🥳 She is the only guinea pig I’ve owned where I know her exact birthday because she was born in the rescue I got her from. She’s gone from being afraid of her own shadow to a bold, confident baby who...

Welcome to the forum Do you have a thermometer on the cage to see what temperature the room is? Generally speaking, if you feel warm enough then they also will. Make sure you get two snugglesafes - the ‘rule’ is that you always need one of everything for each piggy! Lots of hay to snuggle...

They were, but my concern is that the pig I've had longer has only been an "only" (with other pig neighbors) and I feel like I'd be forcing something on him he might not want? Does that make sense? Am I overthinking? I don't know a ton about the pig I just rescued because we only get what info...

We are entirely west facing. There are bushes around the garden which help a little but the sun hits the house at 1.30pm and tries to turn us in to an oven. We air overnight then before the temperature equalises again we hang sheets up outside, close windows/blinds/curtains and stay in lockdown...

I have had both cats and guinea pigs but we had the cats from kittens so they grew up in a household that had guinea pigs living in it. We kept our guinea pigs in a properly secured cage and kept the door to their room closed when we were out but we did leave the door to their room open when...

Quick question/update: His brother now also has a small patch of missing fur. They have both had their baths and a full extensive clean this evening I have a 3rd guinea pig who lives solo but in the same room, should he be bathed as well? He’s an alpaca guinea pig and unfortunately had to...
