Yes I'm looking forward to that day too! Last treatment is Monday 28th December so 2 weeks after that they can have their Christmas pressies! And yet another deep clean of the hutch and the run (DEEP JOY!)

I’m still at school so not in the whole day. Am giving extra attention whilst I’m off for Christmas break. I then have a week of online school due to COVID rules so am off for 3 weeks. Hopefully, they will soon show these behaviours and we can upgrade whilst i can give them this attention...

My ~6 year old boar Blackjack started doing raspy breathing today. His eyes and nostrils are just a tiny bit moister than usual. I know it's likely URI, but my cavy-savvy vet is shut tomorrow save for emergencies. As he's still eating, pooping, and rumbling about the cage okay, can this wait...

I've told this story before but, Christmas just over a decade ago, and I was still living in Northern Ireland, and apparently I had to go to my parents house for Christmas. this meant sneaking the guineas and their cages in because their dog at the time was a bit daft, not aggressive but...

Hello lovely people! It's been a while! We currently have a massive 6x2 C&C (at the time we had 3 pigs and I always try to go one above the forum recommendations). Sadly 2 of those originals have died and we now have a 4-5yr old boar and a 1yr old (ish) sow. Sadly our sow has suffered a stroke...

What year are you in?

I am looking into adding on to the cage, but will be unable to do so until after Christmas. This was only temporary.

Thank you. I will read all this information. Tilly and Betty were rescued from Ayr so we already have a relationship with them and they have offered us “speed dating” for a new (female) mate for Betty. I could speak to them about the male option as well. We can have a think and decide the best...

I had to pop in to get hay, snake bedding and a few other bits and bob's I left feeling helpless and depressed. Fist off I heard a child ask an employee about whether their cat would get along with a new rabbit (just buying one rabbit intending to keep it alone) :no:the employee told them that...

That would be fine provided you don’t put either of them in the cage until the time you actually rebond them - so once the baby has got a new home. all you would need to do is pick your day to do the bonding, put some hay in the cage and put the piggies in. If they are accepting and want to be...

My boy has had test done to rule out stones and confirmed by a specialist that he has sterile IC. His on 0.35 mls metacam twice daily and half capsule twice daily of cystophan. His last flare up has been at the start of November when he had treatment at vets for nose bleeds, his brother bit him...

If you have two sows their cage requirements are a minimum of 120x60cm on a single level but 150x60cm is recommended. For two boars it needs to be 150x60cm on a single level but 180x60cm is recommended. Double storey hutches are fine but it is only ever the bottom level which counts towards the...

Oh ok that’s great! Well look forward to seeing pics:)

Some family members of mine for Christmas are giving me a cage large enough for 2 full grown boars, a pen for floor time, and a gift card to a pet shop to buy essentials for the guinea pig, then when a suitable adoption center/animal shelter opens back up from the holidays and has guinea pigs...

I suppose it's foraging behavior sticking their heads in smaller spaces and probably kind of natural in nature I imagine it's safe as it's advertised for guinea pigs. Will probably try it back in the cage as they enjoy it so much. Many thanks, have probably been worrying a bit too much! X

Yes, you can do that. Are you planning on a traditional cage or a C&C grid cage? You can find a baby bonding video in the bonding guide where I am using a cage for bonding. It is really worth taking the time to read and look at the guide links! Sourcing Conventional Cages And Hutches (for...

I recently had to downsize my home so it’s not possible to have multiple cages so it would be easier to just have them all bonded. I can’t house mine outside because I live in Ireland. The climate is too cold for them. Even in summer. Like I said, there is plans to add on to the cage we already...

Hi and welcome! In view of having two sows with leadership/fear-aggression issues, I would recommend to keep your three sows next to each other with full level stimulation and interaction through the bars (body language, scent and vocalisation) and to draw a line under any bonding attempts...

Yes that’s their permanent home!

On 15th July 2018 Phoebe and Priscilla joined the family. They came from a home where they were loved but their owner sadly didn’t have a clue how to care for them. A screaming toddler didn’t help. I was their 3rd home. Phoebe was still a youngster, probably around 6 months. She was terrified...
