I currently have 5 girls and have seen a neutered boy that I would like to offer a home to, but I am not sure if I have the space?
I have an L-shaped enclosure - the long bit is 245cm by 60cm and the shorter bit is 110cm by 60cm.
How many piggies could live happily in there, please? My 5 girls...
Our local shop is looking a bit bare and my Mum couldn’t find the usual mixed salad so she bought ‘Italian Style Salad Kit’ - is it safe for piggies?
The cheese and balsamic vinegar dressing is in little sachets so obviously they won’t have that.
I have checked the following are safe:
Wild...
(I hope I have put this in the right place, if not please move/delete)
I no longer need my outdoor hutches as the guinea pigs have a shed :D Would anyone like them? Free to collect from Milton Keynes.
All three are Pets At Home Dandelion Den hutches (5ft) but two have been joined together by a...
I’ve been on the lookout but a lot of places are closed at the moment, hoping I can get an answer when restrictions ease a bit! It would be nice if they could go to a rescue.
I’m having a clear out of some of my plastic pigloos and wondered if anyone local to me (I’m in Milton Keynes) would like them for free? It would be collection.
some are a little nibble around the entrance but they’re otherwise good.
thank you, this is very helpful. Missy had fluids, metacam, and emeprid at the vets and more to take at home. She’s being syringe fed, too.
The vet was able to hear gut sounds and she did produce some poops in the vets so that’s a positive.
She’s really not in a good way though and I’m very...
I’m on my way to our local vet with Missy who I suspect has bloat, I can’t get to Simon due to another personal emergency occurring today.
please can someone tell me what treatment I should expect/ask for? I’m in a bit of a state already and don’t want her to be given inadequate care.
Thank you...
It’s a change to how she normally is. When I was showing Dad earlier it wasn’t as noticeable as this morning so I’m going to try and check regularly and see if I can catch her just after she’s been to the toilet in case there’s something going on there that would make it more pronounced.
I’ve...
It’s visible without parting the lips but more visible when you do. I’ve not noticed any problems with her toileting but I’ll have a closer look today.
I check all my piggies’ bottoms at least once a week and today I noticed that Melody’s bits look a little unusual.
I’m not sure exactly what the little ‘bump’ is called but Melody’s looks to be protruding slightly, whereas on my other girls it’s tucked inside and not so round.
Melody is...
Thank you for the replies 😊
Thanks for the link.
I need to come up with a way of getting her attention in the run when giving out treats 🤔 At the moment I have to reach in and wave them in front of her face lol
My 5 year old guinea pig, Missy seems to have gone deaf. I’d noticed a couple of months ago that she didn’t respond as quickly and seemed to be sleeping more so I took her to see Simon and he said she was in very good health and he’d have never have guessed she was 5 years old.
Now I’m...
I’ve found a small, hard lump on the back of Donna’s left ankle. It’s almost as though there’s a tiny stone embedded under her skin, it’s that solid.
Donna has kind of dark grey-brown skin and this little lump is a bit darker than the rest of her skin. I’ve not managed to get a picture of it...
