Hobnob has done both, just found his voice yesterday, a little wheek in the cage both together and more wheeks when on his own in the run while i was trying to catch the elusive gingernut (I think he would win a guinea pig olympics race) and whilst I gave the then caught Ginger nut a full once...

Hi all! I’m after some advice. I want to paint the spare room where my guineas are kept, it’s looking shabby and I’m desperate to make it look lovely for them! Question is, if I use a water based matte paint, how quickly can they move back in? Having 8 of them it’s going to be tricky to keep...

It is normal for guinea pigs to bar bite, leaving the room just deprives them of the attention they should be getting. I am worried that you may be struggling to cope, but your pets all need care and you need to consider how they are being affected. Please ask for help if you are under pressure...

Hello all, The UK has had some pretty high temperatures in recent weeks, and ive noticed my black and tan Abyssinian (Fig) has lost a little weight. She was around 1.2kg about a month ago, and this morning shes 978 grams. Shes still eating hay and salad, but just a little anxious about the...

I'm afraid you cannot keep two boys and one sow in the same cage together - it would be a disaster. The boys would fight over her and would have to be separated. If the boys are not used to seeing or smelling a sow then they will be highly unlikely to be able to be side by side with her either...

BIG HUGS Sometimes, you meet pigsonalities for only a very short time because of what they come with but they touch you so deeply in your heart that you will never forget them and always remember them with a smile - because you have been the one who has given them the happiness they have been...

Hi there, I’m a 25 year old first time guinea pig owner! I got my two boys, Conker and Chestnut, from a rescue in early June 2025. They were about two months old at the time (approx date as rescued from a hoarding situation), and presume they are around 9 months now! The have a 6x2 c&c cage...

hi, this is more of a question for the health of my guinea pigs, are horseflies dangerous to them? google is awful for an answer, and i seem to have some horseflies getting into the room my guinea pigs are in that i can’t monitor 24/7. I'm just worried, and if there are any risks, what should i...

Thinking of you. ❤️❤️. It’s such an awful time.. it sound like it is very peaceful and smooth at the vets… it’s so heart breaking that you have to go through this. You’re clearly a very loving and thoughtful owner. And to get your girl to 8 years old just shows how much she was thriving...

Hello, There I am again looking for some thoughts and advice. I've been away from the forum for a bit, enjoying a spell of calm and trying to enjoy my time with the piggies after all their medical misfortune. My sows Anna and Bonkie are getting a bit older (both 5 years old now) and I don't see...

Sitting in the waiting room: No, that's not my guinea pig ☺️

Ah don’t be too sad - Teilo pig is happy and enjoying his ‘beautiful world’ and he appreciates safe surroundings, his brothers and definitely good hay and veggies - that’s all he could ever want 🥰 I’d love to see a pigture of your special ‘piggy boy’ and his brothers.

Star the pig in my profile picture scared the heck out of me by hooting tonight,our pigs where brought temperaraly into my PC room due to excess cold in their room and have been in my room for a good bit so hopefully the hooting is a new thing, he continued hooting while trying to get hay out...

Hi all, I have a question about the temperature of the room I keep my guinea pigs in, which is now starting to get a little chilly for a variety of reasons. We moved house in July to a place in the country, and my 2 boys now have a room to themselves! In the old house, they were in our lounge...

Hello, Unfortunately we recently lost our make guinea pig Kenny and his cage mate Mint wasn't able to see his body due to the heat we had here and that he didnt pass at home. Mins t is eating, but hes not as active as he should be with the heat and i think hes grieving. We have made a house...

Dear Kylie Oh yes losing your fur would be lovely in this heat I’m keeping cool while furry Geoff is sleeping a lot I don’t get too hot as Piggy Momma has air conditioner whatever that means …. Being naked in hot weather is good My brother from another mother ( the dog) is also naked and...

That's all sounding good. I'm glad you have these options, they sound very positive. I'm sorry you lost your piggy. Too sad 😔

Bless you it's not easy at times is it being a owner. One step at a time see how your little piggies responds to the new antibiotics and then see. Illness will have some part to play in how unsociable your little one is at the moment. How old is your guinea pig and before this Illness how...

Hello everyone! I just got two new girls (formerly single pigs) that I want to bond together. One (Roberta) appears to be 3 months old and is very very skittish. The other (Bea) is 1 year old and quite social and confident. I’m starting them in separate cages across the room for about a week...

Misa has been pretty adept at picking up relevant words and from her reactions I am pretty sure she recognizes 'no,' 'treat,' 'lettuce,' and 'piggie o'clock' (which is what we call the time when we put down the snacks and let the pigs do a supervised free roam every evening. Saying 'piggie...
