Hi all, This is about my herd 2, Honey soy (neutered boy) And his 3 lady friends, jaffal, Pepsi and skittles. They have all been bonded for about 4 months+ now, I haven't previously noticed any arguments between them, the occasional chase/ give me some space grumble but I haven't seen/ heard...

Reading that follow up thread, I think I am going to cut down on the pellets even more now it is the summer and they will be on grass daily. I am feeding a cup of veg a day per pig (Cucumber, Romaine or Mixed lettuce leaves, pepper) and they get a handful of grass a day now. Mowed the lawn this...

She is happily leading her small herd into the pastures to graze in the sun. She lived joyously and passed with a full tummy in the warmth of your care. She lived to enjoy the summer once more and to delight us.

I would love this, but I live in an apartment,... I will start growing grass in trays, my boyfriend will kill me, our entire apartment is full of GP stuff now😂

One of our boys is acting very strange. He's constantly rolling on his side, as if he's in some kind of discomfort and he's rocking his head back and forth. He ate his breakfast no problem and has been grazing for most of the day. Only in the last few hours he has started this behaviour and...

They can have one cup of veg per pig per day. The reason I said about slow introduction to vegetables is about getting their gut adjusted to it. But if you’ve already gone in with feeding a cup per pig per day and it isn’t upsetting their tummies, then there is no need for you to reduce veg now...

Yup, that unfortunately seems to be what's happening - 36 hours since her last dose and she's back to not grazing...

I think she's pretty good now! She went in on Thursday to have it drained/flushed again, and the lump is looking (and has stayed) a lot smaller now. Teeth were confirmed to be completely fine, too. She's completely fine in herself (bothering her sisters, grazing normally, eating pellets...

Ok, I think they do prefer grass but extra hay in their run, it will have to be. I think they get a bit bored of their hay all the time that's why they love getting fresh grass so much, but it can't really be helped at the minute. I also think they get bored in their run because it isn't...

Hi You must be relieved that it is not a cancerous lump. However, has your vet told you that you need to flush it regularly to allow every little speck of infection to drain out? Abscesses heal from the inside out but any infection that is left in one of the pouches can cause it to come back...

We've taken her out for a feed and while she still isn't interested in fresh hay (we got her Excel Timothy hay with dandelion and marigold), she's currently grazing on a hay block we have while between mouthfuls of syringe feeding which gives me some hope - is this a good sign?

Some of it is fear, but also behaviour of young piggies. They may be waiting for a more senior pig to take the initiative and guide the herd to grazing. They should sort out who does this as they mature. I read somewhere that wild guinea pigs feed and every now and then routinely make a quick...

If it’s a small graze I’d just keep a close eye on it. Can you post a photo so we can see how bad it is?

Guinea pigs are grazing animals, and a lot of grazing animals are not very demonstrative with their herd mates, at least not by our standards. Think of a herd of cows. To our eyes they seem to just ignore each other, but that's because we are not attuned to the subtle body language. Their trust...

Me walking into their room any time other than feed time sends them scooting even if I talk 😥. How do they know the difference? However if I bring in the hoover and clean they’ll sit there quite happily grazing.

She doesn't seem to be grazing on hay very much at all - could this be down to being on both Dual Care and Fibreplex (as well as getting some oats), so she knows she has enough fibre? She still loves her daily veggies now that she's back on those, so not hugely concerned, but wanted to make sure...

A life lived to the full. Red knew his place in the world and that he was always right. A master of bar biting, which he was happy to teach every piggy who came within hearing. Supposed to be 12 weeks when he arrived to be bonded to Caspy. I suspect more like 8. Happy together until Red nipped...

No it didn’t upset there tummies poop and everything looks normal ! Okay thanks I. Will let u know what they tell me at the vet

Guinea pigs gain weight through adequate hay intake. Hay making around 75% of daily food intake, grazing throughout the day. Veg is not a main food, making only around 15%, and pellets the other 5%. (Veg and pellets together make the wild plant element of the diet wild piggies would eat...

...from a pet store (I live way out on a reserve there are no rodent rescues here) and in the store they were given a large bowl of pellets to graze on through the day and very little hay. They're used to eating pellets 24/7 instead of hay, how do I encourage them to eat more? I see them eating...
