Please bathe all your piggies at the same time, irrespective of whether they have acute patches or not; not just the one affected - the other one could easily have already picked up spores but is still in the gap between infection and outbreak. By bathing unaffected piggies as well, you prevent...

It is so precious when you watch a guinea pig flop down somewhere they are super comfy :nod:

I’m not sure what’s on the inside of the liner - the listing just said absorbent layer. I’d guess probably thick wadding. Either side of that is anti-pill polar fleece. Do you find the napisan fades the colours at all because it’s made for white washable nappies isn’t it? I have a version of...

I agree. I used my hub's stanley knife for my own correx (long before there were readymade cages). A word to the wise: Make sure that you measure it carefully (twice), mark the cut and double-check in the location before you cut. And use duct tape for anything you have to bond together (like a...

Sorry I haven't been active here in a long time, I've had a lot going on and have been quite busy. I hate to come here only when I have questions, but I have an issue I'm a bit at a loss to figure out. So I've had issues with fleece that I thought previously wicked fine that seem to no longer...

My 6x2 c&c cage is here! They are busy exploring, but seem to really like the extra space. I'm going to make a batch of fleece liners myself this weekend. I'm very curious about how urination goes and where it gets dirty. I'm still a little unsure with everything, but it will take time before I...

T hahhaha Thanks for the advice! Ill upload some photos to my google drive and send some over soon!

8 beautiful years with this sweet girl. But I'd give anything to go back and restart them over, relive it all again, give a million more snuggles and appreciate all the little things. I was in a car accident in 2016 that left me with lifelong injuries and severe ptsd, anxiety and depression. A...

It is fine since they cannot meet in person. You may get some reactions, though. Guinea pigs do have a concept for a shared space. The problem is that it depends very much on the level of aggravation and their personalities. Boars with a non-violent fall-out and a more amicable divorce may...

I feed everyone a large pile of hay in a 2x1 coroplast tray lined with either a Guineadad liner or an Ikea toftbo bathmat, and I find that their hay gets damp fairly quickly. I used to use a fabric haybag (with the occasional paper bag) when I had my furry girls, but since these guys are...

Hi all, I'm planning on making my own fleece cage liners and just have a couple of quick questions. I have seen from previous posts on the subject that it's preferable to do a 'fleece sandwich' with fleece on the bottom instead of a waterproof layer, so I'm planning on trying this. I'm going to...

Hi all! First time posting. I have 2 pairs of girls that live in a piggy palace 😂 It’s a 2x6 double stack. Buffy and Willow live on the top and Hilda and Zelda live on the bottom. I try to get all of them out everyday but with two pairs (tried bonding them as a herd: TLDR - it didn’t work out)...

Been a long while since I've updated here - life has taken a bit of a turn (for the better) and the boys and I now live with my partner and dog. We've also just moved into a long-term home and I'm in the process of upgrading their C&C, which they do not yet understand even though I've told them...

I haven't used guineadad liners. My piggies were outside so fleece wasn't the best option. I do remember someone commenting on how thick they are and how long they take to dry so factor in drying space/time too. If you are looking to alternate for a bit then maybe get one and while it is being...

Hi! The waterproof layer can make the inside smell after a time, if it's only for the cage/enclosure and you have something under to protect your floor you can skip that. You can order Zorb online but it's expensive. I made some pee pads with old cotton towels and fleece on top, but I find they...

Don't clean water bottle nozzles before you move bottles or any tunnels and huts etc. Just think 'scent spoors' before any changes. It is always better to use scent marked bedding whenever you make make changes to any guinea pig environment because you can hopefully avoid triggering a new...

I also have Amazon Basics grids. They are good quality. I tried to disconnect one of the weldings and my finger turned purple, it would not come apart. I have bought 6 packs of the 6 cubes size. They come with more connectors than listed, so I had no need to buy more. Then I have Kavee...

Some thoughts. I have heard that Guinea Dad liners smell more than anti pill fleece but I've never had one so I can't confirm that. I change my fleece liners every 4-5 days or they smell. I have pee pads in the places they sit the most and in their beds which get changed every day, I sometimes...

Me again.. sorry! Can you tell I'm going out of my mind waiting for the call to say she's in recovery. Just thinking about their cage set up. Was going to give it a thorough clean before she comes home, do I need to make any adjustments so that her wound doesn't open? Their current set up is...

Thanks very much & mean it from the bottom of my heart! I know you must be so busy so I really do appreciate the time you have spent with the detailed answers. Made me feel a little less useless! I had a round trip of nearly 1.5 hours but we got some. The washing bowl etc hadn’t arrived so I...
