Hiya, I think they do paint with low fumes, google it or write to Dulux or Crown your cheap paints I wouldn't trust what they say on the tin. I've recently contacted Dulux as I wanted paint that was pet friendly. They recommend a water based one, so long as the piggies didn't go back in they...

Definitely second option. Hard flooring isn't generally as thick as carpet, so if you paint first you'll have a gap once you lift the carpet, and you could also chip the paint while lifting it. If you leave it till the floor is done you run the risk of spillage or scratches as @rome_italy says...

I love piggie pig pigs set up. Sugar and spice piggies had a good set up too (sadly she no longer keeps piggies.) think hers was plywood and it was painted in Cuprinol garden shades. She put a table cloth on the bottom (the waterproof kind) but she used cage liners.

I have no idea if sandpaper is safe or not if chewed. Personaly going down this idea route I would have thought of some skateboard grip (it’s adhesive backed) coated with some petsafe paint to protect their feet, help keep it clean and to seal it off to minimize the chewing chance, although I am...

My piggies never cared at all about my nail varnish especially if it's not newly painted . Piggies in general just dont like being cuddles and sometimes we've got to consider what they want even if we just want to snatch them up and cuddle them all day haha! They are much happier to be hand fed...

Hi, I build my cage from one big osb board and plexiglass, got it all cut to size, added some paint and voila :clap: Now the piggies just need to move in.

I will let my guineas out every day in the hopes they walk around, but they walk straight back to their hutch and wait for me to lift them up and put them inside. If I delay this they get quite desperate and bite the bars and try to push their heads through. Even now I have them in my room with...

Amazing, so much space :) I have 2 carrot cottages in out 6x2 cage and worry they take up too much space :/ Off topic, but is that a painting of Amy Lee? <3 :O

I forgot about Sugar and Spice Piggies, her cage was beautiful all painted up, good source of inspiration. I did not know she no longer keeps piggies, I'm missing her wonderful videos. EDIT: Just read her Facebook post, the poor lass. It sounds like it was for the best for both her and the...

Hi all, So as some of you may know about 3 weeks ago we lost Neville because of pneumonia. This left behind little Bertie who at first seemed quite forlorn and withdrawn. We added a little guinea pig toy and some big fluffy socks and immediately his mood improved a lot. He always ate...

A little update... I have the base of my cages made. I couldn't have done all this without the help from my wonderful dad. I have perspex and wood to made hinged fronts, but my dad is making those in his home workshop so I'll get them in a few months; C&C grids will be used for just now. It took...

I was not sure what to put this under, so I put guinea pig chat. Basically I’m going to ask a few questions in one thread to save time. If you put the number to the question your answering, it would really help. I might also put some pig pics and some more info about myself. 1. Catgrass (or...

If you could add your location to your profile that would help us give you more accurate information and answers :) But in response to your question as well as on specific sites like Amazon etc. (If you live in the UK) sites like Gumtree offer hutches or big indoor cages for a lower price then...

That's a great idea @Tiamolly123 ! Unfortunately I have 3 cages that are 2x6 or equivalent, so I have two cages on the floor with one on a table above to ensure there is floor space! Might be worth putting one of the floor cages on a cabinet to get some storage going though :hmm: I'd love to...

Hi everyone! I live in the UK and I need some pet safe paint for the inside of a DIY cabinet me and my dad are converting into a guinea pig cage. We looked for ages all over the internet and in loads of shops and were at a loss, until we finally saw one we needed - Pet, child, and environment...

Any child safe paint should be OK? I used to use one from B&Q to paint the wooden platforms and toys in the hamster cages. Valspir or something? Sorry but the name changed and I cannot remember what it was called. I have not used it in 2 years, but I painted it on with a brush and it dried...

To make the cages we used a plywood base and made frames for the front Perspex. We cut ridges out of the wood so the perspex would slide in (like a window frame), and then used contiboard for the back and sides. My husband made legs for it and added castors so I could move them for cleaning. I...

Hi! Take your cue from how the boys deal with other. If it was an accident, they will still be relaxed with each other; if it was the result of a full-on tussle, there should be some tension and bad blood between them. You progress accordingly. Give them some roaming or lawn time together...

If you search amazon or eBay for "vege t" it shows the cabbage and raddish ones also. See pics below. Reviews even have someone who used the carrot for a hamster sand bath hah! As they are catered especially as pet bowls it is listed as non toxic paint and anti chew. Popular use seems to be...
