Hi, I could really do with some advice about whether of not to keep trying to find a friend for my almost 5 year old sow Puffin. Over Christmas she lost her sister Panda who she had lived with her whole life. We have since tried to bond her with a 4 year old sow, but that failed, we tried...

I've recently taken over the care of 2 pigs from my sister, theyre both male and have been together since birth. Ive recently moved them into a 2x4 c&c cage, they've been in there for around 3 days and suddenly they seem to be constantly fighting for dominance. Could this be as a result of...

Hello, I've been concerned about my skinny because he started pooping very little like a week ago. Now usually I would take him into the vet because little poop means little eating but hes had small poops before because he can be very picky with food. but now I'm worried because his eyes are...

Hello, I got a New Guinea to join my 2 girls. The new one (s’more) and my youngest (cricket) didn’t seem to have any issues, didn’t nip or really seem to care about each other. However s'more and my oldest (poppy) were not so good. S’more is a lot bigger than both of my girls. S’more nipped as...

Hi all. I was wondering what others do to keep their piggies warm in the winter (if like me they keep theirs outside in a hutch with no access to inside the house or a shed etc). I am going to buy more fleece liners (as they have fleece liners for their sleeping area but not for the main part...

Hi everyone, it's my first post on here! I have an issue with my guinea pig and am curious to know if anyone had a familiar issue like this with their guinea pig? Yesterday I had noticed a bump/lump on my guineapig's back. When touching it, my guineapig seemed very irritated by it. He is...

Hi there, I haven't owned piggies in a few years, and have never kept boys before. I recently got a 15 week old boar and then a bigger boar (the person who sold him to me claimed he was also 15 weeks but he seems a bit older to me) to live with him. They are still absolutely terrified of me, and...

Hey! Today, my guinea pig Muffin passed away, he was in a pair with my other pig, Cookie. Now I only have Cookie left and I'm really worrying as to what I should do with him. Rehoming is an option however I simply don't have the heart to give away one of my pigs. Adopting another pig is an...

Hi! My guinea pig, Muffin, suddenly stopped eating yesterday; he's simply been sleeping. I've noticed he squeaks when he poops, he also produces very soft and clumpy stools. I've been giving him Critical Care (15ml every 3 hr) and Pro-C probiotics diluted with water (5ml every 3h). Apologies if...

Hi! I just got a baby boar yesterday, and he is adapting well to his environment and he already likes his cage mate. I do have some concerns. There is a bit of light noise when he breathes. I’m not sure if it is from my other pig’s fur or if it is because of something else. Has anyone had this...
