baby and adult

We just adopted a 2 year old Guinea pig boar 2 days ago for my son. I personally am committed to his ultimate care. I’ve had Guinea pigs in the past many years ago so I considered myself an experienced owner, however, I see that much has changed since the days of yesteryear and that I in fact...

Hello All! I’ve found myself in possession of a 4-week old baby boar. (Long story) Proud owner of a boar duo (7 Months Old, Bonded) With Trios having such a high failure rate, I’m not even going to introduce them/try to bond. The baby is cute and awesome, but the existing bond of my boys...

Hi there, For reasons that I have posted on another thread, I now have a 2 months old piggie and a 10 month old piggie living together. For that reason, I have some questions: Does the younger piggie really need the pellets that are labeled as Baby/Young Food? We use Oxbow. Because if so...

Hi everyone! Last Sunday I (finally) bonded my 2 and a half year old (neutered) boar with a 6 week old sow. They are getting along amazingly and I have seen such an improvement in both of their wellbeing. For a bit of backstory, I got my boar (Beemo) 7 months ago from an extremely neglectful...

Hello, I had NO idea what to post this thread in, all i saw was baby care. Anyways, I have two adult male guinea pigs, and I’m planning on getting a baby male guinea pig soon. I don’t know how to introduce them, or anything like that. My boys can be very territorial when it comes to new pigs (i...

Hello, I'm new to posting though I've found this forum useful many times so thank you all... Sadly we lost one of our beautiful guinea pigs yesterday and she leaves behind her life companion (4.5 years). She appears to still be eating so not dangerously affected luckily, but we don't want her to...

About a week and a half ago, one of my beloved piggies passed away. I had 2 at the time and suddenly I then only had one. I spent the day cuddling with my baby and thought that he needed a new sibling. After doing much research and talking to a vet, I came to the decision to find him a little...

Hi, we have recused a 5 week old baby male and are looking to bond him with our 5 month old male. We currently have their cages next to each other and my older piggy is squeaking so much and trying to look into see the other one. We were advised to introduce them in a neutral space, I did do...

Hi, so I have two boars Bill (approx 8months) and Bean (approx 2months). I have started the boing process and was wondering if you can help me figure out the behaviours I'm seeing and if things are going smoothly. I've noticed: Some rumble strutting form Bill Some happy squeaks from both Both...

See title. Moose has been kicking and throwing her butt and her baby recently. I have never seen this behavior before in any of my other guinea pigs. Should I separate them?

Hey all, I have 3 bonded guinea pigs (1 adult and 2 babies) currently in a 3x4 C&C, so space isn't an issue for them. In order to feed the babies alfalfa pellets and make sure the adult doesn't eat them, I'm planning to split the space into two 2x3's to separate the adult and the babies. To...

So I just got a g/p today and I suppose its understandable that its scared and shy. I am a bit troubled though since it hasnt drunk any water and only ate very little. Is there anything I can do or will it eventually eat on its own?

Hi! I'm new here. I have two older female guinea pigs (around 2 years) i used to have a third but she passed two weeks ago. Three days ago i got a female baby guinea pig thats around 7 weeks old. Ive been housing her in the upper level of their c&c cage for the past few days and I'm letting them...

My youngest gp is about 7 months old, we have had him since January with my eldest who I believe to be over the age of 3. My youngest has been mounting my eldest to the point he is shoving him in the corner and almost knocking him over. My eldest always tries to get away and has never bit him...

I have a 1 year and 1 month old guinea pig who lives in the same cage as a 3 month old guinea pig. Should I feed pellets and hay made for adult guinea pigs or ones made for baby guinea pigs?

i have three lonely guinea pigs who don't get along (+ 2 others that do) i was wondering whether it would be better to get them a female companion or a baby companion since i saw that adult guinea pigs get along well with baby ones.

Hi, I have 3 guinea pigs. 1 is 2 years old, the other is 24 weeks and the new one I got is 12 weeks. The 2 year old and 24 week old ones have shared a 3 x 5 cage for months and are fine. I introduced the 12 week one by building a small c&c cage inside the 3 x 5 for a week and they all popcorned...

Hi, I have 3 New Guinea pigs and I’m looking for advice on grouping. They are a 14 month boar and his two 6 week sons. They have been paired for a while as I am told that previous attempts to pair him with other babies had not worked out. I am told that one of the babies that I own stood up to...

hello, i have recently bought a baby guinea pig to be a companion for my one year old lola. from the day that i got her, lola has begun scratching pretty heavily, mainly around her nose and towards her back. i’ve never seen her do this before. i bought a flea/mite treatment and used it on both...

I recently bought a pregnant pig, she gave birth to three semi- healthy babies and I was really happy that it all went smoothly but as I watched them I've noticed the other sow has been acting weird, she keeps rumble strutting and snapping at the babies and the mum. When I first saw it I assumed...
