Ok, so cat carriers are much larger than the rosewood ones. The room I and the two piggie cages share is large but is packed with Guinea pig stuff (double as one of everything for each cage) mobility aids, craft supplies and DVDs ( modern tv is too noisy and flashy for my illness). You might...

Yes the presence of the girls will be having the effect - lots of girls coming into season frequently will cause disruption to boys who are not used to sow pheromones. (Although and as you mention they aren’t neutered - do note that even if they were neutered, the effect on them would still be...

Some very good points there Truffolo. I will be having electricity connected to the shed. It will be insulated and will have a heater in the winter and a fan in the summer. The guinea pigs (Shimmer and new guinea pig once I have one) will come into my bedroom in the very hot and very cold...

I think shutting our old portable thermostat in the living room with the guinea pigs really helps us. We like having a cooler bedroom, unlike the piggies. 😂 (Mind you with costs rising. :yikes:)

But it's winter, you'll get sick without fur 😲

Hi everyone, thank you for your replies. My dreams of adventure with Teilo Pig are crushed! I had visions of sunsets over the beach in the Lake District. Ah well, he can stay home with his brothers where he is most comfortable. I feel really sad they can't see or appreciate the world like we...

Thanks, when I first separated the boars after they lost their bond they were very angry and chewing the bars etc. Not sure if I want them to be riled up again sows in the room. My plan is to get the boys neutered but its expensive , in my area its £200+ per pig

Hi. This is going to be quite long, as I want to provide as much information on this pig as possible. I am looking for any information on anyone else’s experiences with pigs who have unusual temperaments, if they ever changed, and how it can be managed throughout their lives. I have had pigs...

I was actually wondering if it could possibly be something coming from the hay, like some kind of tiny bug. A few months ago, when we had a problem with a lot of bigger bugs in the room where my piggies are (we found where they were hiding about two months ago, and thankfully they’re gone now)...

Hi So great that Beauty is finally healing up well. Please no hides or anything they can get possessive over whatsoever. Rather peg a sheet or large towel over the top/ part top and one side. This gives them a feeling of security in the strange new space. Rather leave them in the pen...

Hi That is worrying but how hot has it been in your piggy room and could your #1 suffer from the after effects of heat stroke/exhaustion or an underlying health issue that has come to the fore because of the extra pressure on the body? Unfortunately, the symptoms are too vague to tell what...

Thank you to all who replied with their experiences of fleece and other bedding: it is very helpful to understand what works in what situation. Our idea was for an indoor cage on stand in our living room in our flat, so we will have it very much under our eyes and can probably do more strategic...

Thank you. i know :( unfortunately I dont have much room for another box of hay so I had to use it for bedding and feeding. Thank you again, as long as someone else is using it as their main feeding hay. I feel relieved :)

Lovely hay. You are a brave guinea pig ❤️

I'm afraid Ollie being in your room and Capelinni and feta being in your son’s room will not work and could cause Ollie to become depressed and lonely. While they cannot share a cage, It is absolutely vital that their cages are not only in the same room but that the two cages are side by side...

Just to add on that our piggies are tolerant and seem to enjoy my moderate singing- they also have their own songs. I used to sing Beat It and Park Life to foster pig, Beetle and our piggie Parkin. They have a particular Grass Time song when they go outside or we bring some indoors. Our piggies...

Hello, I have an older guinea pig who has recently lost the use of his back legs. It’s been about a week now and vet believes it to be neurological. He’s been completely fine in terms of eating/drinking etc. so we are just seeing how he gets on. However, yesterday I did turn around to find...

Hi y'all. I'm off on Monday, and I was thinking about going to the downtown animal shelter that day. I have room for another guinea pig now and they have a bunch of girls looking for homes. The babies always get adopted so I'm not going to be taking one of those home so what age would be...

Thanks for this Wiebke! I was hoping you'd pitch in - I always enjoy your posts about piggy behaviour and have learned so much from them :) That all makes perfect sense. I didn't know boars tend to be chattier throughout their lives, having only had sows so far. They're endlessly fascinating...

I've just been running and I was thinking exactly the same thing while I was out! If I move them to the 16m² room 2 herds could have quite a big space each😀
