Hi everyone, I need some help on a low calcium diet for my girl who had bladder sludge. She had a bladder flush last Friday. The vet told me to put out on grass as much as possible as this is there natural diet and excersise . I have read the thread about low calcium foods. So in the week they...

Please can anyone offer any advice?, I have a 5 year old male pig who started to live out around 3 weeks ago, they come in over winter and out for summer. After the first week he seemed to be losing weight and wasn’t running away when I tried to catch him as he normally would. Saw the vet who...

Mine are outdoor. The hutch is 6ft x 3ft with an insulated bedroom area that has a thermostatically controlled heater for the winter. I have a large run about the same size that they are in almost all day in the warmer weather, but always safely back in their hutch at night. They have fly...

Welcome to the forum Mine live outside in my shed also. I have insulated all walls, floor and ceiling of my shed with silver foil insulation, which helps a lot They have silver foil insulation, blankets and old duvets put over their cages (when they were in hutches they also had a thermal...

I just don't know with Minerva... on her solo explorations she has been caught heading to the open back door. There's no cover on top and it would be quite hard to cover it. We used to have birds years and years ago and still have this large walk-in enclosure and I've been putting them in...

Omg that’s awful for you So pleased to hear that the bites are not serious I have a home & roost outdoor Guinea pig run that’s hardly been used and is vgc - I moved to a house with a gravel garden You are welcome to have it for free - I live about an hour away (Sudbury)

As I say they may be fine with the pigloo. Although to add, I wouldnt use it in summer as it may get warm inside it (definitely don’t use it outdoor if they do go outside in a run for playtime)

I have decided that guineas will be "my pet" .At present the 2 girls have a large outdoor run for "nice " days (ha ha ) they have a 8'x4' run in the conservatory and a small night time cage indoors.I have been thinking of having a Kavee cage (or similar make)in the conservatory , raised so...

BIG HUGS I am very sorry for your loss. If it is any consolation to you, I lost my Melangell (who had just turned 4) the day before you. I'd hoped that she was going to be the wife to grow older with my Brangwyn, who is turning 3 years in autumn, but it was unfortunately not to be. :( Anyway...

It sounds to be a size issue, not that it’s because it’s a hutch per se. Perhaps pets at home hutches aren’t made of thick enough wood for them, can be draughty maybe but being in your garage surely goes some way if not all the way to negating that? It’s a shame and it’s frustrating...

Hiya, what size shed is yours please, I am trying to decide on a shed for my 3 bonded sows

Oh my word I didn't realise it was a break due to cancer, I'm so sorry - I just thought you'd had a fall and broken it. It sounds to me like you have a handle on it all and are preparing as best you can - it will be a challenge for sure, but I am also sure that on the days you need a cheer up...

Welcome to the forum It’s absolutely fine to keep them in the garage in winter but its best for them to be shut in the hutch at night for warmth. A kavee (c&c) cage would be fine to use as a run during the day in the garage in winter. A hutch needs to have covers for winter nights to keep...

I would go with indoor 2 x 5 cage and a nice big run for the summer days. I think you will feel happier knowing they are safe inside and they will become part of your family much quicker. Make sure your run has a hide for them and some over the top cover to avoid heatstroke on hot days. There’s...

Hello and welcome 🙂 It’s great you are doing your research before getting your guinea pigs. To be honest, you are best to ask your local rescues what their recommendations and requirements are as different rescues have different requirements as some rescues will only rehome to outdoor homes if...

Thank you for all your advice, I don't yet have any scales for weighing Toby, though it's maybe something I should have already had for the two of them. We do have cooking scales but I don't know how my family would feel about using it with Toby so I'll have to look into buying an electronic...

I have about 16 (I’ll double check and count properly if there’s any interest) grids that are no longer required. I’ve got some connectors too but not enough for all the grids, we used to cable tie the spares. Free to anyone that would be happy to collect. Some are a bit battered and missing...

Hi, My 5 year old sow smells really strongly of urine (only recently) and the cage is smelling really bad. The cage is spot cleaned everyday with a full clean 2 (been 3 recently because of the smell) times a week. The cage is over 5ft x 2.5ft. They spend half their time in runs which are -...

:agr: Completely My four live in enclosures in my shed. As they are outdoor pigs, they only get run time in the summer months. For the winter they are in their enclosures 24/7 late autumn until late spring. (There used to be space for a playpen on the shed floor but when Wilbur and Hugo...

If I have Guinea pigs that live out, can you bring them in to cuddle/ let them run around? Or will the get too stressed and wee everywhere? Thanks!
