    They won't take hay in our garden bin because it is pet waste. Even though I explained that guinea pig poop is the best environmentally friendly fertilizer there is!

    2 young boars trying to establish a pecking order, will this be ok?

    Hi and welcome Have a look at C&C cages and puppy or pannelled rabbit runs that can be folded up and put away. The run can be easily jumped by piggies. When looking for a boar cage, I would recommend to opt for a size that can if needed be divided either temporarily or permanent if the teenage...

    One fleece liner

    Hi I have thought of the switching temperatures issue, the garage my pigs are in during winter is heated and insulated and the room the pigs would be going into is my room and I always have my windows open without heating (all year round) so it would not be like coming into a hot sauna or like...

    Do you guys have info about guinea pig stuff in Belgium?

    Hi and welcome According to the one piggy keeping Facebook friend in Belgium that I have, there aren't any rescues or shelters with guinea pigs in Belgium; you may want to consider whether you can get to one across the border in the Netherlands (I think you can cross the border with a pet...

    New fleece for Stubbins

    Hi! :) Over the past seven months, Stubbins has been dealing with an ongoing diarrhea/mushy poop issue. One huge problem that I have been facing is having to repeatedly wash the piggies' fleece. Due to its grey color, whenever she makes even a small poop smudge, it is extremely visible. The...

    Renal failure in guinea pigs

    Thank you so much! 💞 I definitely will and I’m glad I know now, and I’m hopeful we can prove the odds wrong and have Foxy at least have a few more months of health before the end, but I’m glad I know in advance so I can prepare myself, as I know I’ll need to get his wifey Kovu a friend fairly...

    Yellow-stained white Guinea Pig

    For awhile I've been trying to figure out how to clean out the yellow stains from my white guinea pigs underbelly and bottom; I gave her a bath about two and a half months ago but it didn't get rid of much dirt, unfortunately. I always clean the cage and switch the fleece liner/fleece blankets...

    Bioactive Guinea Pig Enclosure

    I like the idea of natural environments for pets, particularly reptiles as I think it works more for those type of pets. Not so much for the other common pets like piggies/rabbits/hamsters. I just don’t think it works. It seems like a step back as everything we do for our piggies is to prolong...

    Fleece smells soon after changing

    At the end of the day, its whatever works for you and your pigs! That said, a lot of people will use something absorbent under the fleece - be it towels, newspaper, purpose-made liners. It might be worth trying putting something under the fleece where they pee and seeing if it makes a...

    A few questions I have

    Hi, I'm looking to get guinea pigs soon. Just a few questions though. I live with my parents and we don't have enough space in our house for guinea pigs. I think my parents had the idea of keeping them in a hutch but I'm not keen on that for various reasons. I would rather keep them in a shed...

    Fleece liners - zorb and shrinkage

    I made some fleece liners about a month ago. They are a layer of zorb (original) sandwiched between 2 layers of fleece. I washed the fleece several times before making the liners, to make sure it wicked ok, and had pre-shrunk. I had read that I should not pre wash the zorb as it might fall...

    Fleece creating static electricity

    Hi! :) I use the GuineaDad fleece liners for my piggie room. Usually, when I need to pick up a piglet to administer medicine, I wait until they run into one of the hidey pockets and then pick them up (sometimes I use hideys, as well). I have recently noticed that when I pick up the piggies...

    Trying to care for a pet shop, different piggy

    You can use fleece bedding. Either putting puppy pads down as an absorbent layer and then a single layer of polar fleece on top or investing in proper cage liners which have the absorbent layer already stitched in the middle. You can buy washable puppy pads which obviously saves on the...

    My 2 boars can't seem to get along anymore!

    I've had these guinea pigs for about 3 months now, I got the younger one first (Peanut) , and then a bit later I got a second one who was a few months older (Cashew). They are both under a year old and when I got Cashew, he was the submissive one, even though he was older. They really got...
