I tend to waffle so I will write this inbullet points and hope my brain a make it make sense. It is an ongoing problem hence writing on this thread. I think it actually pertains to a couple of different threads but I will do my best here. * Button, big black piggie, you called her stress...

My beautiful girl has developed that "End of life" smell that is produced by the metabolism shift as their body begins to shut down. Luckily she is still happily eating and guinea pigging her way around the cage, enjoying her life. I had hoped for her to see Christmas but it seems that may not...

Hello again. Thank you all for your good wishes and support. It was so lovely and heart warming to read all your messages. I am now back home again and about halfway through the healing process of my half hip replacement. What looked initially like straight forward case has turned into a...

Putting three boars together rarely ends well. You can of course try it if you wish but do prepare that it is likely to fail. Not only that it can also bring about the downfall and ruin the bond of the original pair as well (meaning you are left with three single piggies). Generally speaking...

We had our last checkup on the 23rd of feb and got the all clear - no signs of ulceration. There’s still a lot of blood in his eye though, I’ve attached a couple of pics. His eye isn’t cloudy anymore though, and there’s no sign of the ulcer, there’s just some blood that looks to be pooling at...

Unfortunately when they opened her up to remove the cysts, they found a large tumour so she had to be put to sleep. So devastated as we didn’t all get to say goodbye to her. It wouldn’t have been right to bring her round in pain, to then have her put to sleep anyway. We put her in the cage and...

I’m feeling incredibly nervous (as well as excited) because tomorrow I’m taking Toffee to meet a possible new lady friend. Since we lost Biscuit on 15th December he’s been doing ok on his own but the cage looks so empty with just him in it and he obviously needs piggy company so just after...

So lovely to hear from you Wiebke. And to hear of the lovely support you’ve received from @Qualcast&Flymo . Not all heroes wear capes, as the saying goes. Just take each day as it comes and prioritise your own Heath and wellbeing. Time to put yourself first xx

I don't have human kids or a husband but do have Toby and Emit and my three other little family. I have family at the same property aswell lol not totally alone. Anyhow we always celebrate Christmas and I figured they might want to help:). Emit was trying to work out how to get the star on at...

My beautiful old lady Iris, longest resident of the modern piggy room, trotted off on her own terms to the Rainbow Bridge while we were away on holiday. She was in good health and cheerful in temperament to the last. She joined our family in January 2020 at a time when I was initially looking...

I wanted to say that your words have been hugely comforting to me 🤍x

They sound lovely! Poor baby, hope it clears up soon? You’ve got quite a lot on your hands! Me too! Not having the best of times, we lost our 8.5 month old last month after 5 months of uti & uri issues! He didn’t recover properly from anaesthetic so after a few days we made the decision to...

I recently did a “tidy up” of my piggies treats and chucked all the stuff that was nearly empty into a Tupperware, shook it up and called it piggy trail mix - I sprinkle it around the cage and they go crazy for it! great for fussy piggies because they can forage for the bits they like. Also I...

I’m so sorry for all the precious piggies you’ve lost and the turbulent challenging times you have faced too 😢😢. I will write more later but I just wanted to say that you are right - finding the source of strength and solace is essential. I had some very cute chin nibbles from my one-year old...

Good morning everyone I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas, I'm just looking for some advice please. I've had guinea pigs before but it was some years ago and I've recently adopted a pair of pigs from work who weren't being looked after properly. Sadly one of them passed shortly after...

Hi everyone, I just realised that I never sent an update. Unfortunately Parsley's legs only got worse, not better, and he just couldn't keep himself clean. My vet couldn't have been nicer, she emailed a specialist vet for a second opinion and they agreed with the diagnosis (neurological) and the...

Hi All! I’ve been registered on the forum for a while, and have got lots of useful information and reassurance by reading through the threads here, but this is my first post! We had a trio of boars that we rescued and who were happily resident with us for their retirement years. Marshall was...

Micah and Priscilla hope that Pringle feels braver soon. They have just been on a mini break which meant a car journey and a different cage too. They settle quickly. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas

Figured I would give everyone an update-- and thank you for all the well wishes for Hilda. Hilda had her spaying on Thursday with no issues. She came home Thursday late afternoon pretty out of it. Early Thursday evening I got a tiny bit of CC into her. By 11PM or so she walked out of her hiding...

Thanks I will give that ago. Is any place better than another? In guessing if it’s like nose then that’s better in a way? It’s not really a rasping or crackling he just sounds like if you’ve run up and down the stairs ten times. Like out of breath? I did the water trick when he was hooting and...
