Hi All, I’m hoping for some advice. We’ve got a 5 year old guinea pig (Tilly). She lost her cage mate last year in May. Given her age and the fact she seemed content on her own we didn’t rush to find new pigs to bond her with. In September last year we got a bonded female pair of rescue guinea...

We live in a town with plenty of woodlands near by. We often get a badger visiting the garden, and plenty of red kites flying about. Cats quite often pass through too. When our guinea pigs go outdoors (not this summer unfortunately) one of us is always near by we do not have good sight lines...

My piggies are in a south facing room....28 degrees.ive used ice pods ,a fan in the middle of the room. Two of the rex guinea pigs ive given them a bath,as were struggling.got windows open, to see if i can cool the room down.

Hi There Does anybody know what this crawlie bug thing is? It is about 11mm long and seems to have young the size of a pin head. They seem to like wood, cardboard and anything rolled up. Noticed a few under the stairs cupboard and a couple in my living room. Nothing on my Guinea pigs or their...

Hey all, Back again. Juniper has ongoing dysbiosis from antibiotics in January. Ive made many posts over the year and you have all been great. Had some very positive improvements which I will share, but mostly here for advice on diet. Shes eating her poos again. For the first time since her...

I have 6 sows in 5x2 stacked c&c cage and I have one hide per pig but with summer weather fast approaching and already hot tempretures in the UK I need to consideranother hide alternitive for their safety and health. I have mostly dominant and stubborn sows who refuse to share. I can't drape a...

I don't think it is the lighting. Have there been any changes repairs etc. around the time your old lady fell ill and died? Are you using any potentially perfumed products? Sorry, I can only guess wildly. Irritants to Avoid Around Guinea Pigs

I'm very grateful for your posts, and so happy for this forum and the chance to make Kongo alive for other piggie-nerds. We do tend to care for each others pigs, and can really feel each others pain when our babies has to go. Kongo was so fascinating in both his body size and his personality...

Isit me or is the slight breeze just deceptions? It feels cooler, but surely it’s gonna slowly warm the room up? I may have to get chatGPT on this one. If outside is in high 30s even with a slight breeze isit better to still close windows and block them with sheets etc

We had a pretty warm night so the house didn't cool down much. The clouds are starting to form though, so we should get storms in the evening. It's still quite hot, but a lot more bearable than yesterday. (The girls had to take turns to enjoy their floortime in the living room. It was much too...

Hi fellow pig parents, A couple of months ago I found quite a lot of blood on the floor in my pigs room (they are free roam). There was no blood on either of them, checked claws, mouths, bellies bums etc. They are both light coloured and I couldn’t find a single drop on either of them...

Will you get a cat or a dog or will you be done with pets?

Sweet soul pig ❤️🙏🌈

Hi all, Not worried...more curious really... I adopted my two girls about 4 months ago. They're around 2 years old. We have them in our living room so we watch them a lot and know their little quirks well. I noticed Sue Pig has always drunk a lot of water. No matter what the weather is. No...

His neighbor was in a habitat ABOVE his, so more of an upstairs neighbor, but when that pig passed, he got very down. Thus the new guy "upstairs" He has other pigs in the room just not bar to bar contact. He really seemed okay with the new guy. I read that older (he's two and so is the other...

Also wanted to add, I use fleece too, and shifting pads made things smell faster. I ended up adding a thin layer of paper bedding under the fleece so the pee had somewhere to go, and it cut the funk a lot. I also burn a cone from https://nothingbutscents.com/blogs/incense/incense-cones-guide on...

Hi Yes, you can use AC in the guinea pig room as long as you not aim the stream of cold air directly onto the cage (risk of respiratory infections). You can however place a damp sheet or towel in front or over the cage in order to help cool down the temperature in the cage further via the...

With this heat, I had to move my guinea pigs from their usual cage in the lounge to the hallway, as it’s the only room in the flat without windows. I’ve been monitoring the temperature constantly with two thermometers—one in the cage and one in the flat. The flat has been sitting around...

My pigs zoomed in their cages when I brought them home from boarding, they even remembered times it was appropriate to beg for cookies (when I come in the room, after veg) They didn't forget a thing. And the boarder didn't give cookies.

I can see there's a lot to spiral over but really if you're happy to give it a go there's not much to loose worst case scenario they fall out and have to go back to being neighbours which is how they are anyway
