I am going to be using washable puppy pee pads as the main liners but I will need pee pads and it would be cheaper for me to make my own but the issues is I do not have a sewing machine nor do I know how to use them. I can learn how to hand sew if thats possible for pee pads? Ive seen a video...

Here's a little picture dump as Lakrits and Oreo have been so so cute these last few days and also let me take pictures of them for once :wub: Lakrits having just woke up, with a proper bedhead :)) Lakrits sleeping next to me while Oreo was running around exploring the sofa Lakrits and...

Hello how lovely …I’m biased but I love boars - I have 2 atm I use washable liners and use vetbed as I have a skinny pig (but I didn’t when I had furry boars ) Before him I used just the liner with pee pads placed here and there and in their hideys I change one half of the cage one day and the...

Ok, so whenever we have to use the carrier, Selwyn in particular, gets worried and buries himself underneath the little fleece liner I put in there to make it comfortable and soak any pee up. I thought he might just get used to travelling but we don’t do it unless a trip to the vets or boarder...

Hi bubble64, I’ve also heard that the Kavee liners don’t actually have a proper absorbent middle and waterproof bottom, which is a pity as they are so expensive! When looking for fleece liners or pee pads, try to make sure whoever you’re buying from is very clear about what the absorbent middle...

Hi there everyone! Our family is looking to be first time piggie owners (myself and 2 adult "kids") and we are planning on applying for adopting from a rescue but not entirely sure on how many yet (2 boars or 2-3 sows). We will probably have a chat with rescue and let them guide us on that but...

Chewing the bars and Laying next to the dividers is not necessarily a friendly sign - it can just be territory marking and making sure the other piggy doesn’t try to cross, and not a sign they want to or can be together. Please don’t be fooled by thinking it’s always a friendly gesture. And...

I picked up sewing to make liners and pad for my piggies earlier this year. I didn't know anything about sewing and didn't have a relative for example to help me. There's two youtube playlists that I found incredibly helpful: - from The Tiny Herd on how to make liners specifically. It takes...

I am planning on making my own fleece liners but wondered if those of you who have used fleece liners could guide me. Before I decided to make my own liners, I was looking at them on a few different sites that sold them and most of them were “double absorbent liner”. I had originally planned to...

I also get my hay (ings) from Hay and Straw in Yorkshire. I have half the cage with a large wooden magazine as a hay rack with two newspaper and hay lined litter trays and some extra hay and the other half with an ikea dolls bed which they like to go on and under with fleece pads under it and...

Thank you very much for your response on both questions its greatly appreciated !

Hey. Thanks. I do get anxious because he’s 6, this is only my third piggie, and the way the first two passed was traumatizing for me. I’m glad I have those links you sent me. I suspect I may know what it was 🙄 , although I don’t want to jump to conclusions just yet. I’ll see how dry he is in the...

Hi all, I hope you and your furry potatoes are all well. We are sadly no longer guinea pig owners having made the decision after Frenchie passed to rehome Lollipop as she was getting depressed. She is much happier now. This means that I have a whole guinea pig set up that we no longer need...

Thanks so much @Wiebke for your reply, hope you’re well? Think you’re probably right, even if I shrink them then they’ll still be usable in some form? I agree that the Asda bath mats do seem better, easier to get hay off them too! Going to go out now & get some more. I am thinking I possibly...

Thank you. The cage deep clean is done and the bedding washed at 60 degrees. Going to bin all the logs as it’s not worth the risk of having any spores left! I’ve yet to bath the piggies. Sorry to ask again but how do you recommend using the head and shoulders shampoo around eyes and ears? Do I...

Hi I am ever so sorry. It depends on what comes back from the lab. The places the fungal is currently located are pointing toward secondary infections (i.e. picked up from spores on the bedding) rather than an a primary infection around the face/ears. Any fabric (including the clothes you are...

Hi I recommend a lady on Youtube that is very knowledgeable on guinea pigs and she has a video on a step by step guide on how to make your own fleece liners and pee pads. She also said what materials to use for making them her channel is 'Squeak Dreams'. Here is the link to the video. How to...

I’m making some new fleece liners for the piggies! I have some 100% polyester fleece throws that I’m going to use. All the liners I currently use were pre-wicked. I don’t want to damage the new fleece. It’s from Amazon, and the care section said “Machine wash cold. No bleach.” Will washing it...

You change the bedding as normal but wash at 60 C (may shrink liners). Personally, I still have a bag with cheap 'ringworm' baby blanket fleeces from Primark and underlay cheap beach towel in the attic that I only use when dealing with a fungal outbreak so I only have to hot wash the regular...
