We aired the room today and the heating has been on a couple of times, he is breathing really well. Still on the antibiotics. As the we go further into winter we will have the heating on more, do we need to put some cardboard in between the radiator and the cage to prevent overheating? I think...

Hi folks, My friend has asked if we could babysit her hamster whilst she is away. Is it safe to have a hamster in the same room as my guinea pigs? Each in their own cages obviously! They will never “meet” but it would be more straightforward to keep them in the same room. Thanks in advance!

First year I’ve been trying to keep the pigs outside instead of taking over the living room. They are in a non insulated wooden shed with access to a covered run and cardboard boxes filled with hay. Noticed scarlet tonight is wheezy a little. I’ve normally brought them inside by October but I...

HUGE HUGS Carson was clearly much loved and had the happiest of zooming piggy lives. I am just so very sorry that you were unable to bring him back, despite your best attempts. Brodie knew that Carson was very ill and dying, and has taken his leave from him before you; when piggies show no...

Good Evening I adopted a neutered boar and sow just over 2 weeks ago and am new to guinea pigs. He is clearly the dominant pig and much more confident. She's very sweet and smart but clearly the underpig, I do hear squeals from her at times (they are indoors). Ive provided 2 of everything and...

Hi everyone, I just am looking for some tips on bringing a dog into my home while having a piggy. I have a senior pig, Penny (she recently lost her cage mate but is doing fabulous on her own). She was very submissive to her sister and now she seems to actually be showing some of her...

Thank you. I'm planning on switching from our current hay brand as its also very expensive and switching to the online dustfreehay.co.uk. Hopefully I'm going to remove everything from the room and fully wipe it down, hoover etc. Then build new cages for the room. I'm thinking of bathing one of my...

I know right, you guys are lucky. We are from the Philippines so we like it warmer haha

...with hay getting mould etc over 24h? Will 24h change routine be enough? 3. Has anyone had any problems running a dehumidifier in guinea pig room overnight? 4. What temp variation is really a max? Do I really need to keep the radiator on 24/7? I just used to add a layer and fluffy socks and...

While we nervously wait for Maccy’s blood test results, today is Espresso’s 4th birthday! 🥳 She is the only guinea pig I’ve owned where I know her exact birthday because she was born in the rescue I got her from. She’s gone from being afraid of her own shadow to a bold, confident baby who...

Hi guys - my female guinea pig DeeDee is 3 years old and recently lost her cage mate, another 6 six year old female piggie. Deedee usually eats a lot of hay and poops a lot throughout the day, but recently i noticed she only eats when I'm at home with her. when i leave for work and go back home i...

Welcome to the forum Do you have a thermometer on the cage to see what temperature the room is? Generally speaking, if you feel warm enough then they also will. Make sure you get two snugglesafes - the ‘rule’ is that you always need one of everything for each piggy! Lots of hay to snuggle...

I have had both cats and guinea pigs but we had the cats from kittens so they grew up in a household that had guinea pigs living in it. We kept our guinea pigs in a properly secured cage and kept the door to their room closed when we were out but we did leave the door to their room open when...

Hi there, Looking for advice on what to do for my 10 week old girl who has suspected ringworm. About 2 weeks ago I noticed hair loss on her nose with scabbing. I asked the lady I got her from for her opinion as she has owned pigs for years. She advised to apply athletes foot cream twice daily...

Hi I am very sorry, I have had my share of sows who were severely traumatised and who attacked other piggies and bit hands even after months in rescue and was able to rehabilitate them with some patience, persistence and plenty of piggy whispering but this is another step up. Have you tried...

They were, but my concern is that the pig I've had longer has only been an "only" (with other pig neighbors) and I feel like I'd be forcing something on him he might not want? Does that make sense? Am I overthinking? I don't know a ton about the pig I just rescued because we only get what info...

We are entirely west facing. There are bushes around the garden which help a little but the sun hits the house at 1.30pm and tries to turn us in to an oven. We air overnight then before the temperature equalises again we hang sheets up outside, close windows/blinds/curtains and stay in lockdown...

Quick question/update: His brother now also has a small patch of missing fur. They have both had their baths and a full extensive clean this evening I have a 3rd guinea pig who lives solo but in the same room, should he be bathed as well? He’s an alpaca guinea pig and unfortunately had to...

Hey everyone 😊 Just looking for some advice regarding guniea pig behaviour. I had Reggie for about 4 months now which means his 6 months old now. Has anyone ever experienced extreme squeaking at night. Reggie is in our room and i cant be placed anywhere else but lately we are struggling to...

To preface, I have owned all types of pets my entire life. Including guinea pigs before! However, I recently took in my boyfriends sisters guinea pig because she was unable to care for it anymore. He has lived alone his entire life (3 years). I know he should have a friend, but I’m...
