We have a 4 year old Guinea pig (called pipi) and got two baby sister Guinea pigs to join her 2 weeks ago when they were 8 weeks old. One of the baby Guinea pigs (piku) has been very nervous and wasn’t eating for quite a few days, we took her to the vet to check for underlying issues and told...

Hello and welcome to the forum We adore guinea pigs 🥰 The best thing is for your piggy to have a friend - human interaction isn’t enough sadly. As your girl is older she might accept another piggy ( her hormones will be more stable etc) or a baby ? Or even a piggy in a cage next door to her...

Hi everyone, I haven’t posted in some time but what a support the guinea pig forum has been to me throughout my life with Guinea pigs. Sadly after months of pain management for my arthritic 8 year old girl, Teddy, we have had the nod from the vet that it is time to let her pass over the...

My new pig room! Still have a lot of organizing, but they are safe and my mind at ease.

I bought the Chillmax mini unit. On the high setting it gets hot and I think could be a fire risk if allowed to run for a few hours. It produces a very small amount of cool air. I think the bigger units from Argos are better and probably safer. I will buy one next year as my studio flat gets...

Hi Youngsters are at their most vocal and loudest at around 4-6 months when they are at their most vulnerable to predation while moving more independently and further away from their group. Babies are wired to give a vocal non-stop status update about their whereabouts and how they are doing...

Slave imagined this happening for real. What a s*itshow (literally)! Too many big egos in one room. Harry would rumble so much he would pass out. Today Harry found his voice again after Kongo left us. He yelled for his greenies very demanding! I was very pleased to be bossed around. As long as...

Thanks yeah all rooms upstairs get so warm but downstairs is a no go cause of my cat so I think changing rooms now is less hassle. What ones do argos sell that are reasonable ? I'm menopausal so an air con unit is the dream but not for 600 😂

Oh no. I’m sorry. What a rollercoaster ride. Skinnies, as you know, live fast and pass fast. Sending you and Allen (sp?) hugs. 🥰 Are you able to come down south for a Salisbury meet. I know it’s not easy but a northern meet didn’t happen. X

Oh no I’m so sorry. There’s never a good time for them to be ill but just before a holiday is definitely the worst time. I have been in the exact position about 4 years ago. Unfortunately my Percy didn’t make it and I felt bad for the person I had left him with to sort it out. In hindsight I...

Howdy you'll, I have recently had reason to get an allergy test to see if my suspected guinea pig allergy was possibly their timothy hay, and I did indeed find out that I'm allergic to timothy hay!..... I also learned I'm pretty seriously allergic to my guinea pigs. Also I'm allergic to my brand...

Hello. I have two pairs of boars. When I moved away from home, I only brought one pair initially and left the other pair with my mom (she lives close by so I could easily still care for them and my apartment is a studio, so I figured they wouldn't have enough room if I brought all four.) My...

As many of you know, Carson passed away last night unexpectedly after we picked them up from the boarders 2 days ago. You can read about it in the Pigging Out thread. This is to remember my happy little boy from the moment we adopted him from RSPCA as a companion for Bodie who recently lost his...

I have remembered when I was at my last house and had a designated guinea pig and rabbit room. I was bonding two rabbits so I slept in the room. The noise of the little creatures munching hay was just delightful. Really soothing and intimate somehow.

I'm currently getting spare bedroom ready for guinea pigs we hope to adopt. The bedroom gets very warm in summer we struggled to keep my sons bedroom next door cool in summer as gets sun all day and evening so worrying will get too warm and door will have to be closed due to my cat. Considering...

I have recently moved Saffron and Shimmer into the conservatory, from an insulated shed (with no electricity). They were not getting any sunlight and Shimmer had bubbly breathing. They now have some sunlight but there is no insulation in the conservatory (more of a lean to really, home made by...

Heard a guinea pig performing mega-wheeks so I jumped up and ran from the living room to the kitchen to find Minerva stood screaming in front of the bin. I asked her what was wrong/what she wanted and she bumbled off, muttering the entire time, before sitting next to Gaia in the back room. I...

As above digital kitchen scales are great and have a snuggle sack or bowl for them to sit in. I will attach a link. Also nothing to do with age I'm with you on the book front I love a real book my local library is one of my favourite places after the guinea pig room of course 🥰📚🥰📚

Mom doesn't have room for another cage. She barely has enough room to sit down! She's going to stick with us. She's currently soaking her surgical site. Wound looks good. Polo and truffle are all you need! Mom also only wants two pigs.

Thank you, great ideas. Lovely piggies. Yes, stay safe. Hopefully this will be over soon 🙏❤️
