Are these treats for today? Lucky boys!

Oh Kongo, teeth are a big cause of worry and stress for slaves. But you are wisely reassuring your slaves by accepting lots of food, smart piggy. I think I can hear lots of slaves saying "no divider😲" : slave to grow a second hand 😉 They might even say put the sock back on, anything, but no...

I tend to freeze small bottles of water & pop them in a sock. Some piggies will happily sit next to them but others will avoid. I also made fleece covers for reusable cool blocks but again some piggies will avoid them. My rainbow bridge girl Hazel was a huge fan and could be found lying on them...

Hi luckily it’s cooling down from today I use Ice blocks wrapped in covers or you can freeze water bottles and put them in socks and as the melt it keeps the area cool Some people put a ceramic tile in the cage so piggy can lie on it Keep curtains or blinds closed and a fan directed away from...

Quick question, the doc recommended I make a cone for him or put on a loose sock to keep him from opening his stitches. In case of an infected wound would sock be a safe option? He was trying to scratch the wound so I had to put on a sock but he looks very uncomfortable in it.

Have you tried freezing a bottle of water and then putting it in a sock or wrapped in a towel?

One of my guinea pigs had this. She wouldn’t eat and was pooping liquid diarrhoea. I gave her critical care, as much as she would take which honestly started at about 3 ml every few hours and gradually she would take more - then wanted more. I kept feeding her for 2 weeks. She also chewed her...

Hi Unfortunately, cones don't work with guinea pigs. They can wiggle out of them within minutes. A sock may or may not work but it needs to be rather tight.

Our hot weather guide and our travelling guide both have detailed, practical tips for vet visits in hot weather in case you are dealing with a life or death emergency like heat stroke. Best is to have a small frozen water bottle wrapped in a sock and to additionally wrap the carrier in a damp...

After 4-5 failed attempts with multiple cones and socks, I managed to get a rather tight sock on him that has stayed on till now. Worried about the infection getting worse because of limited air flow but I hope it will be fine..

Hi If your piggies are not going near your frozen water bottles, they are not feeling overheated and you are doing well. :tu: As I keep saying - and what @LondonLady has experienced in previous years -, piggies can and will adapt to some degree to hotter conditions as long as they have...

...one that is deep inside, poor boy. Kongo, you could cure me right away 🫘 lovely healing vibes, I feel them 😘 Polo is zooming hard and kicking wood shavings right out of his cage across the floor, and then standing, staring with a strange inscrutable expression. My socks are full of wood...

Thankyou can I give them bottled water as it’s colder ?

You really sure about Djingis? I mean, he's cute to look at but I still needs to put a sock on his head to manage to cut his nails... Kongo is so confused right now. How did you know? You're magic! 😂

Thank you! 😁 Poor little guy 🙁 I wonder if at some point amputation may be the only option. If it's a bit smelly it may be becoming necrotic. Hope all goes well at the vets... It could be worth asking about manuka honey ointment, I've heard good things about that. Although I don't know if it...

Hi there, Something for newer owners to consider and a reminder for the rest of us. It’s incredibly dry in the moment in the UK, and wild animals such as Foxes and birds of prey are hungry. Please, even if your piggies have been moved indoors due to the heat, don’t leave them unattended with...

Yes, I bend the rules for my piggies and Socks. Your house sounds wonderful, no wonder the wildlife are sneaking in 😄

I'll ask him what he thinks. He had a lovely thread on the UK Hamster Forum until the Online Safety Bill legislation started making noises about issuing 18 million pound fines and a large number of small UK forums had to choose between risking being fined or closing down 🙁 I think he would enjoy...

Hi you may be better off to leave the wound to heal without protection.

When my first pair of piggies, Harry and Angus, were little chaps, they loved bolting around their run in the dining room. One day, while I was in the next room, I heard super-loud wheeking. They had escaped and were busily pulling all the laundry of the clothes horse. They darted back into...
