Hi all, in may I adopted two piggies, unfortunately one had passed away two weeks after, he was too good for this world! We then adopted a new piggie to help the one that was left from the original two. Their names are Frodo and Gimli. They were fine after we had introduced them slowly and have...

BIG HUGS I am so very sorry. You have done what you could for Blackberry and have not failed her in any way. She was lucky to find such a dedicated and loving owner. It is characteristic for the onset of the grieving process that experience intense feelings of guilt, failure or soul-searching...

This sounds great. How many inches of hay do you put in? 🇨🇦

I adopted my girls - Missy and Margot a month ago. They were living in a cramped ferplast and I’ve since upgraded them to a 2x4. I bought them a large wooden house it was made bespoke. I didn’t realise that the wood was untreated until I noticed that true top of the house when I’ve created a hay...

Sigh. I "freaked out over nothing" according to my 14 year old. They were together about 15 minutes and I was really hopeful. Sniffing each other in a pretty relaxed way, and going back to nibbling a little hay. Then Peggy started nose punching Cinnamon's side, and it seemed like there...

I think I may separate him from the girls and put him back into a Midwest cage for the time being as I had seen the most weight gain doing that. He would have 24/7 to Alfa alpha hay and Timothy hay along both pellets in the morning. I would also be able to put his critical care in the cage and...

May I ask why you would not reccommend coconut oil? I've also used it to clear up skin and coat conditions under veterinary supervision. I have had very positive experiences and success with it thus far! Without sounding up myself (i think i already gave that impression to some people on...

Oh and another question! If the insulated wendy house was thought to be suitable, would it be good to link it to a run via a long tunnel? I have seen some by a company called runabout that are made of plastic and which have entrances and exits you can open and close, so the pigs could have...

Don't have piggies anymore, but the last 10-15 years I had them I didn't feed any pellets, and I had some real healthy long-livers in that time so I assume they were getting the correct nutrients from hay, grass, weeds aka wild herbs, veg and fruit. At that time my piggies were often in the...

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks again, if you saw my thread about the bushfires being too close to home last week. Thankfully all was okay here but our friends property, the Brumby sanctuary was right on the fires doorstep so the four of them and all their pets and horses evacuated to our...

Living side by side is the normal course of action for piggies who cannot share a cage. He will still have companionship and interaction through the bars which is enough. I have have a boar who fought with his cage mate and now lives side by side and has done so for 19/20 months. Very...

Yes he's eating and drinking himself not his usual grazing but he's eating his normal stuff. He is also weeing blood and crying alittle they said this is normal for now. I actually cannot remember what Vinnie was like at this stage I caught COVID when Vinnie had his op and was battered by it and...

Thank you, they only have a handful of guinea pig muesli scattered in cage every other day. They always have hay to graze on, plus their veggies. I knew there's stuff they can have but rat's can't which is why I queried it before giving it to them.

I'm in the UK and run a sanctuary for guinea pigs with ongoing dental issues. When I set up the charity I put an ethos in place that what we do is 'to extend good quality life, but never to prolong suffering'. I am lucky in that Simon is our vet and he has worked wonders with so many of our...

I'm moving to an agricultural area far from the gators and pythons, lol. Monkey populations haven't made it this far west yet and are kill on sight anyway as the population here in FL are extremely aggressive, completely invasive, and carry HIV. We're far enough away from wooded areas, and close...

What you are doing sounds absolutely fine. I have four boars - a pair and two singles. They live in my shed. I only handle my piggies for the essential weekly weight and health checks - I don’t handle just for cuddles. Only one of them likes to be stroked so he will get that several times...

Always introduce new veg slowly so not to cause digestive issues but definitely get them used to a wide range of things (slowly!). The portion of veg is one cup per pig per day. Grass. It depends on the season and if they are actually going on the grass, how long for or whether it is just...

I would pick something like artificial grass which you can buy by the meter at most outdoors and hardware stores. This will also the rain to drain through but will obviously kill the grass underneath and mean that the piggies don't get the chance ot graze. As Piggies&buns mentioned having a run...

While he has lost a weight, it isn’t a huge amount. Unless he continues to lose more you don’t need to really worry - be alert, yes, but if he stabilizes then that is good and if he loses more then he needs proper syringe feeding and finding out what is wrong. A swing of 30g is considered...

It's reassuring to hear it seems common with age! Mine love hay and i've recently been mixing 3 or 4 types together which seems to keep them happy Wow 7 is fantastic! Is grass ok to give in large amounts with their veg? I normally only give a small amount but if it helps with keeping weight on...
