Dear Saxon We expect something every time she comes in the room. We're happy now it means one of those times it's coriander. We really wish we could have floor time twice a day, not just at one o'clock. On cage cleaning days we don't really want to come out of the cage. Thanks for the...

The first important thing to mention is that if the baby is under four months of age, you must not have him in quarantine. Babies are desperate for and in need of immediate companionship so you don’t quarantine and instead you must do the bonding involving a baby on the same day that you bring...

Thank you, this is really helpful! I hadn’t actually thought about an open living-room window itself being a potential way in 😭 But you’re right, foxes are incredibly quick, and a guinea pig would unfortunately be very easy prey. Will google ways to secure windows/doors. And good shout on the...

I have 4 male guinea pigs and I’m trying to figure out the safest setup for them. Three of them have been living together, but one of them has started repeatedly attacking the oldest one over the past few days. He lunges at him, tries to bite him, chases him, and chatters his teeth, and the...

Welcome to the forum The advice is that you should avoid introducing a sow into a room where a boar pair live. If the boar pair smell her then yes they absolutely could fight. Adding a sow into a room where boars have never smelled a sow will cause a much greater reaction and potential fall...

I am planning to bond a new pig into my herd (2). But they have stopped wheeking and generally not interacting as much since the new pig is in the room. It’s weird especially since my one pig is super vocal. Any reason why? Should I be worried?

Toffee should be OK. My pigs rest against the water bottles and keep themselves safe that way. They are very sensible. You must look after yourself too. I hope everything goes OK for you 🙏❤️

Yes it's possible the wobbling is from the gabapentin. They've said i can give a smaller dose of that but keep the metacam the same. I think today must have been very stressful for her also. The Vet has said when they do dental work they spray the mouth with water and it can get to the back of...

Hi HUGS I am very sorry that you are struggling a good vet. Sadly, guinea pigs still don't feature much on a general vet's curriculum because they are classed as exotics. :( Bordetella only needs to be considered if you: - Have a dog or had a visiting dog with kennel cough, or a dog within 3...

Whatever they are, they cannot be guinea pig mites - mange mites (trixacarus caviae) or hay mites (chirodiscoides caviae) - as they are are not visible to the human eye and they would be on your piggies (hay mites coming in with hay); mange mites burrowing into the skin of your piggies. Is...

I can tell me and Benny looked at some orca-documenteries last weeks 😂 I'm very fascinated about this beautiful animal and their social intelligence too. Just like Guinea pigs they adapt to their environment but it affects their health alot, especially their mental. Orcas should never live alone...

I'm honestly now at a loss of what to do. This has become a huge problem, has cost a lot of money, and there doesn't seem to be an answer. I seem to have followed and tried all advice and am really stuck. And this problem is affecting how often I clean my guinea pigs or spend time with them. I...

I have a guinea pig who has been having breathing problems since he was a month old. The vet gave us a spray/inhaler that we put into a box with him for about a minute, kind of like an asthma treatment, and sometimes it seems to help, but other times it doesn’t. Some days he breathes completely...

Dear Freddy, it's lovely to hear from you and that you have gained weight. Do you like the heat ... being naked? Pig mummy says that we have to get through to next Thursday. 40°C expected on Sunday. It's not this hot in our room but we have had more comfortable times. Do you think trying to...

Hello lovelies What's everyone's opinions on wood shavings? As some of you are aware I am fostering hamsters now, and hamsters absolutely should not be on wood shavings - however the hamster who came in to me yesterday came with a big unopened pack of pets at home unscented wood shavings! Can...

The Guinea Pig Tetrus game continues. I can't cope with Freddie and Rolo in my bedroom any longer. Freddie has decided biting the bars and or his wooden house every hour during the night demanding breakfast is fun, he's now got Rolo joining in. I've enlarged Fizz and Fuzz's old cage to 4 x 4 and...

Hi there, I am hoping someone can give me any advice or shared an experience please. My white long haired guinea pig has dandruff and is itchy - I took her to my exotic vets and she couldn't see any lice etc and prescribed malaseb to be bathed in the last 2 weekends gone incase it was fungal...

Hope the worst is over, or almost over 🙏❤️

...the animals are kept/shown like fashion accessories, not living creatures. The only one I follow purely for entertainment/cute pigs is The Pig Room. The chap that runs that page adores his pigs and other rescue animals, they seem exceptionally well cared for and loved. They’re groomed...

Hi there! So I’m needing to add some extra supports to my bed cuz the legs are pretty flimsy, and I picked up some plywood to add to the frame. I was just wondering if this would be ok to use in the same room as my guinea pigs. They wouldn’t have access to it, but their cage is still pretty...
