I did go away for Christmas. I got Timmy up to 1045kg before I went. He is maintaining himself at 1050 ish so still 100gms down on where he was before but I'm not going to stress him with trying to up his weight hopefully he will increase slowly. He's such a stressed piggy I don't want cystitis...

Ok so ive moved his cage to the floor as it may be a while until I can nueter him (probably around Christmas time). Will this be suitable for them? (Also I just finished cleaning so they usually have more stuff it just needs to be washed.) The smaller cage is obviously Shawn's and then the lads...

The active contact thing sounds lovely indeed. I am glad this seems to be a rather common habit with other bereaved guinea pigs and their caregivers as well. For now, I still feel like I can never go fully no-contact with Ville, but of course, time will tell. My feelings might go in a reverse...

Struggling a bit with Timmy, he's so hard to get out of the cage and he is fighting the syringe, fighting the medication and getting stressed, stressed is something he doesn't need with cystitis! I'm trying very hard not to get stressed, thinking calm thoughts whilst persuading him he really...

If I get money for Christmas I might get Stripe his own c&c. He currently has a cage with bedding and long term it's kind of expensive.

Your guinea @Merab looks a little like Minnie! Thought I would share some photos of my girls. They are Minnie and coco. I think you can guess which is which! Coco died late June 2025 and I miss her a lot. Also these photos are from a few years ago when I knew quite a lot about care and what...

I’m sorry to read your post - it’s good he’s stopped squeaking when he wees and that his wee is now clear It’s hard as we know what we have to do for them but they don’t. Calm thoughts, deep breathing etc Come Timmy keep munching and put some weight on lovely 🥰

Kongo is just mad because his cage is smaller again. It doesn't really look that way, but he is a very active little capybara. When the Christmas three is out we will try to re-arrange the cage again. Joe is in his golden years and its ok for him to high maintenance and treated like a king 😂...

well it didnt take long to find a box big enough to make a second hidy for hawkeye and hotlops went christmas shopping the other day and some things came in through the mail which left me with a box to make a second hidy and is also big enough that both piggys can get into if they want to with...

I was so naughty in the night, I ate some plastic. Mom's fault for leaving it too close to the cage. But mom searched the forum and the experts said just to keep an eye on me. I took my critical care, ate some pellets, am eating hay and had a couple little cookies. Hopefully I don't get a...

I really do miss them but I hope that we can finally clear the space at the bottom of the room for their cage after the Christmas tree has gone and I am back on my legs again but before hub can hog it again for a computer job. When you are seriously ill, you do not really realise quite how ill...

Stripe's poop is finally looking good, so he had a sprig of coriander today. He usually gets a small slice of pepper with benebac, too. Chez is currently trying to con me into another cookie. He zoomed on the coroplast today and got poop all over. In fifteen minutes I'm cleaning cages and...

I am glad that Oreo is still hanging in there. See every day more with him as a special blessing. The crucial thing is working past your fear of loss so you can treasure the remainder. You will be grieving underneath it all and the end - whenever it comes - is going to come as a shock as you...

Awww I am so sorry to hear about Dryw, thinking of you and her friends. Sending hugs, sounds like you need a big one today and especially after being ill for so long. Thanks for your reply again, it really is appreciated. Hoping that you’re right & I’m being anxious as you say. Which I am...

My girls live on fleece in a C&C cage in our conservatory for most of the year. It does have central heating, but it’s quite rubbish! I monitor the temperature with a digital thermometer. This is what we do. Spring and Autumn: Mostly they’re just fine as they are. If we have a night that’s...

As soon as you feel ready for the piggies to return, just let me know, but there is absolutely no rush! They can stay as long as needed! They’re such a lovely pair and have the closest of bonds! 💙❤️ I can’t believe Macsen is 6 now! It sounds like he’s living the best life! Take care and just...

Our piggies are not tidy, infact I have yet to meet a tidy guinea pig! Our boys leave us poo everywhere and anywhere! We also have big messy hay piles. So our photos rarely look tidy, a lot of people just take photos after a big clean up- which naturally doesn’t reflect the real world of having...

Before Christmas, I decided to upgrade my two female pigs from a 160 Ferplast cage in their shed to having half of the shed floor, approx 50sq ft, covered with thick lino, then softflake shavings with piles of hay around the area. They normally have 50 gr of Versele Laga pellets and veg. This is...

Went to look today and they didn't have any. Wanted to look at the sizing. They didn't have any of the piggy stuff that's on line except the fleece blankets. They did have pink bobble bath mats for 60p though. Luckily we have loads of bath mats or my boys would be lying on Peony Pink at next...
