Hi! :)

You can find the recommended detergent on the page linked above. Personally, I like using Arm & Hammer sensitive skin detergent. Typically, anything without dyes or perfumes is alright. Also, make sure you don't use...

When it comes toa cage, you need to go as big as you possibly can.
A Midwest cage comes in at 120x60cm (covering 8 square feet) which is the smallest cage for two sows or a neutered boar/sow pair. A Midwest cage is too small for two boars. We would always recommend going up a size...
Ok thank you! I have checked the website of the rescue and they don't have a specified minimum cage size for any of their small animals however, when I applied toadopt the pigs I had mentioned the kaytee cage and they got back to me. I did email them just in case. I also realized I forgot to...
Hello. I currently just bought a sewing machine tomake my own fleece liners and maybe other accessories for my girls. But I dont know how many yards of fleece to buy for their 3x5 c&c cage

First, to reassure you, they will not die of stress or fight to the death if they do fall out with each other.
Could you please give us a bit more information about their set up
How big is their cage?
Is there multiple of every item in the cage?
Do all hides have two exits?
Have you seen them...
Actually I have no idea. I wash them every 4 days myself, as per instructions (30 degrees + spin at 1200rpm), then I leave them out while I clean the rest of the house - they usually stay there for a few hours while piggies enjoy their floor time.
Wish I could be more helpful, ugh!
Hello everyone,
I’m a bit worried about my guinea pig, she just isn’t herself. She is an indoor piggie and lately makes a cave for herself out of her fleece liners and just hides herself away. I would say she is maybe looking a bit thinner and she has puffed all her fur out. She will eat if...
Fleece liners need changing somewhere between every 3 and 7 days - it depends on many factors as tohow long it’ll go between changes.
You’ve got boars who will scent mark more which will smell more, also your cage isn’t really big enough for two boars so thar can also make it smell more...
An issue here is that piggies that live outside in winter should not really be brought inside as it exposes them totoo much of a temperature change back and forth which can make them poorly. If you are going to need to do this, then you should make sure the room they are coming into is not...
Thank you so much! I will test it out, it is very odd as I don’t think the wetness smells like guinea pee. It’s odd because this liner is smaller than my other liners I use for the main part of their cage. The liner is also covered with 2 or 3 pee pads. I will let you know how it works out :)
I've read that pine shavings can be very irritating to piggy lungs (and also my allergies - I used them for about 3 days after adopting my boys). Fleece bedding is much easier to keep clean, and there are lots of youtube videos on howtomake cage liners yourself. (I started with just a thick...
I’m (very) new to owning guinea pigs, and this is my cage:
Cage Type- c&c
Where From- I bought the main part from Kavee (website) and the stand+cover grids from Amazon
Size- 3x4 grids
Herd Size- currently 2
Easy?- I use fleece bedding and is pretty easy to handle. I use a layer of puppy pads...

Good morning. Our names are Lisa (mom) and Jordyn (Guinea pig momma)
Clearly, we did not do any research on Guinea Pigs. We, like many, saw these cute little eyes and knew she was ours. We bought a starter cage from Petsmart, listened to the lady and bought all the items we were told...
