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!
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
i fill our garden bin with hay... well it is grass after all! the hay makes me sneeze badly so will see how it goes if i use half and half in the cage... i have some of the washable human incontinent pads in as i use them when i make cage liners..
For awhile I've been trying to figure out howto 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...
So I have decide to try out fleece liners in my cages I was not willing to pay 30-80 euro on a fleece liner just incase it didnt work for me so I have decide tomake fleece liners I've done lots of research on howtomake them and what products to use. All together tomake 4 fleece liners it...
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...
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...
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...
Has anyone recently uploaded videos showing howtoactually make fleece cage liners? There was one a on the forum but it was an old link and didn't work.
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, tomake sure it wicked ok, and had pre-shrunk. I had read that I should not pre wash the zorb as it might fall...
Hi! :)
I use the GuineaDad fleece liners for my piggie room. Usually, when I need to pick up a piglet toadminister 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...
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...
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...
Hi this is very helpful thanks.
I will try this. I get confused about how many layers etc needed I have some noodle bath mats, and pee pads to go in the high traffic areas.
