We had 4 guinea pig boys and at sunday 17.12. two of them stopped eating and drinking. We started to syringe feed/drink them at the same day and did it every 3 hours around the clock. We got veterinarian appointment at tuesday 19.12.. At this time our boys were still relativly active, just not...

I could move in there myself! Looks lovely and cosy!

HUGS Guinea pigs have a much finer sense of smell and usually know well before us when something isn't right. Foxy's sister should OK as she has had time to say her goodbyes and as long as she has still got company. Give her time to do her own grieving. ;) I lost three piggies in just a week...

Thank you Wiebke and Happy Christmas to you, your hubby and all your Tribe x Hope you were able to enjoy some of the day properly after all the cage cleaning etc. (I'm a bit late replying as I've been busy being the hostess with the mostest, we have a friend staying with us now for a week -...

Thank you everyone. It’s frank blood that she’s passing 😞, I’ve just cleaned out their cage and the blood isn’t mixed in with urine. I’ve checked her again whilst giving her her baytril and I’m sure she has crusty nipples which she didn’t have at the vet appointment on Wednesday 😞 I have her...

We are back home after our Christmas travels! Pringle started to warm up to all the strange places but is still much more himself at home! He has lost 70g from his ordeal.. pepper gained 10g! The boys travel in a hamster cage in the car, they were so well behaved just snoozing most of the way...

This is so helpful thank you so much… at present I have ‘bubble’ my older boy in a 4x2 c&c cage (of which I’m planning on extending to a 5x2 or 6x2) and ‘crumpet’ the baby has a completely separate cage in a separate room for the night then he will go in same room but opposite end. If all else...

I gave Hay Box another go before Christmas and was disappointed. The boxes arrived misshapen and damaged - the tape was barely stuck down. They possibly left Hay Box ok but in transit I guess they took a beating. Made me wonder what might be getting into the hay before delivery. I swapped to...

Hi guys! I've found myself in a very confusing situation while getting new pigs. This forum has never let me down before, so I'm posting to get advice once again. (Actually twice again, I've also posted in the food thread...) The situation is quite confusing so hold on tight! I'd appreciate it...

My boar Bertie lost his lifelong mate before Christmas. He was 4 at the time and he lost his mojo very quickly but I was fortunate to find a local rescue who had a similar aged boar who had also lost his companion. I was given the option of dating but Bertie was so subdued I didn’t want to...

Please try not to feel too badly. The recommended care of animals in the past was not the same as it is now. You were doing the best you knew how to do at the time. When I was a kid, my grade 1 and 2 class had a class guinea pig, Caramel. She lived alone in a pretty small cage. She got...

Thank you! I am still playing catch up from sadly losing two of my own older piggies earlier this week within a day of each other (with the attendant sleepless nights and resulting exhaustion, both physical and emotional) and have spent Christmas morning still cage cleaning... I am sure that...

If you take C&C grids what do you put on the floor? I cable tie my C&C cage at home so didnt think of using the grids to make a tempory cage with the million bulldog clips I have. Great idea!

Happy 5th Gotcha Day (adoption anniversary), Cerian 'Little Love'! Her name is pronounced a bit like Kerry-Anne. It is a precious milestone that I didn't think you would reach after a big wobble at the same time as Brathlys passed away in August. Hard to believe that it is already 5 years...

I am very sad to have Cerian 'Little Love' making her way to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday within spitting distance of her 7th birthday but she has been rather frail since nearly dying last August. She is now reunited with her best friend Breila 'Briar Rose', whose sudden death just before...

First, check his heft. This is what tells you whether he is actually overweight, not the number on the scales. Pellets should never be constantly available - hay is the only food which should be constantly available. Pellets are the least important part of the diet and in fact are the one...

Looking for a travel cage for the boys as we will be travelling over Christmas and came across some new in cages on PAH. All absolutely terrible! Will they ever offer anything suitable?! The concerning thing is that they appear to be getting smaller! I’m tempted to contact them on social to...

Hi there, thank you so much for your reply. Although the vet we saw that day is a small animal vet, she contacted an exotic specialist for us. I probably should have cleared up the trembling stops when she has mananged to pass urine which is why I believe it is only related to her straining to...

So, the other day, my fiancée and I were cleaning out their cage. The weather was nice, so we put them on our screened in porch (they were supervised). They LOVED it. We noticed Al runs on his tippy toes when he’s excited. He kinda looked like the grinch running when he stole Christmas. What are...

Charmander 💔 My feisty little dude was adopted in early June 2022 at around 5mo. He was a little bit skittish and never did grow to like handling but he did grow to interact with us and take food from us and on Christmas day he made my Christmas when he put his little paw on my hand for the...
