We recommend to keep boars above sows if you cannot keep them in another room or at a distance away. Pheromones don't usually rise in an indoors room.
You can find the detailed rules in order of most to least ideal case when introducing sows into a boars only home in chapter 3 of our Boar...
Hello
We are new to guinea pig ownership. We have two males who we have recently bonded together. We would like to get to females who will live together (not with the males). My only concern is that ideally they will all live in the same room (our converted garage) but I am worried that this...
I am very sorry that Cookie is losing weight 😞 A guinea pigs weight can fluctuate a lot but a gradual weight loss of 50g or more is classed as an emergency and a vet visit should be made. I know you say Cookie is eating but is she eating enough hay which is the most important part of a guinea...
Pigs often come in pairs, dont they? 😂
We have to look at the space, though. I dont think maleslave really cares if its two or three Guinea pigs, as long as they can share a house that is not too big (i.e too much floor). Now we have 5x2 and it fits perfect in one corner of our living room...
He gets Flixotide through the spray/box treatment.
I don’t use perfumes, candles, air fresheners or anything like that because I know they aren’t safe for guinea pigs.
I did notice that when he wasn’t in this room, his breathing was much better and he didn’t have the loud breathing at all.
Do...
They've removed the redundant old water tank...which lives in the guinea pigroom!
I'm so excited, I might be able to get a chair in there now to sit with them.
A dehumidifier might also work if the air is moist enough to increase the chance of small areas of mould forming, for instance in the carpet fibres or window areas of the room where condensation might build up. I am wondering if corticosteroids are safe for rodents as steroids can cause...
Thanks for your reply. Yes we can stay at our old house until all the work is complete luckily. Just not sure how long to wait until after the work is all finished. Online seems to suggest 4-6 weeks depending on what order the work is done.
I was thinking of Little Knights for the paint so good...
Hi
I am very sorry about your loss.
You could see how she reacts to piggy videos but your familiar presence in her room is a great help. Try to use enrichment activities to spend more quality time with her but be led by her interest and attitude. Same piggies become more withdrawn and others...
My guinea pig passed on suddenly today having just recently turned one years old.
I had a boy piggy who was a little scaridy cat and who didn't much like being taken out of his cage for walks or even held for too long. Everything was fine in the morning today until we took him out of his cage...
Some guinea pigs can be very sensitive to hay dust. Their airways are narrow so the slightest obstruction can make it difficult for them to breathe.
Taking him outside if be isn’t used to outside may not help. If he is sensitive then yes pollen may make things worse.
Humidity can also play...
I’m so sorry you are going through this.
I have been in exactly this position in May with my Pebble so I understand completely. Sending you hugs. ❤️
I really cherished the last 10 days I had with Pebble. It gave me time to get used to the idea that he wasn’t going to make it. I asked my...
Pig dad kindly went out and bought the Beans some cucumber to keep them cool during this heat wave while mum was at work. It has been a constant 22C in their room with the curtains drawn and windows closed. We’re just grateful to live that bit further north although the temperatures are still...
