Hi :D
I'm new to the forum but writing in desperation in the hope someone can help us out as our past herd was a group of females and have never experienced this before!
Little back story, around one year ago we adopted a pair of bonded boars Dan and Darwin (brothers), who were at the time...
I was thinking today, is a trio of boars a common thing? I know a trio of sows is a thing and they get along but would a trio of boars work out?
I currently have 2 boars right now and was thinking (of course when they settle in to their C&C cage and get over their dominant stages) of getting...
Hey Everyone,
This is my first post on the forums and I have a problem as well as a question that I cannot find an answer to anywhere.
I have four guinea pigs and they are all males. My friend (the owner of my pigs' parent pigs) assured me that they should get on fine as they are all brothers...
hi
I am currently introducing a sow to a neutered male. My sow has been living with two other sows for 3.5 years but has been showing signs she was being bullied (become skittish/nervous/other steal her food/she is much smaller than the other two but they all happily nap and eat together)...
Hey, everyone!
I think it was around a month ago I bonded my boars. Since the last time I've posted here, I've expanded my cage a lot. Now it is 16 square feet, (or imagine a 4x2 connected to a 2x3 but more space because no closing). They've been really happy in it, they have 3 hideys, a hay...
Hi guys I'm looking for an alternative to fleece bedding. I do love the fleece and will keep them on it from time to time but the number of fleeces I go through in a month is high and the washing can be a painful task lol- especially when the washing machine isn't really yours and your mum...
So before I post my ramble I should probably say that naturally around this time I get extremely anxious regarding the pigs welfare because on the 26th of Jan four days after her birthday my first piggy Vinnie had to be pts.
I've posted previously about Mo sometimes squeaking when toileting...
I'm no photographer but felt like getting a few pics of my boys tonight- why not? :lol!:
Thought I'd share them on here because they actually cooperated for once...who knows maybe we'll try get some valentines ones taken soon.
I noticed recently that my boar (Biscuit) has been a bit sniffly and sounds like he has a bit of a blocked nose. I then realised a few days later my other boar (Ollie) started sniffling as well. Biscuit has now become less interested in his nuggets but does still eat his veggies and hay. Ollie...
Hi guys so a while ago now I posted a thread regarding my eldest boar Mo who was occasionally squeaking while toileting- he'd do it for a day then nothing for a week and then it'd happen again. You all advised keeping an eye on him and taking him to the vets if he did it constantly, I saw blood...
"Hi fellow piggies of the forum! I have taken over pig mum's account for a short while as I am not best pleased! I would like to announce that I -yes me- am infact a part time werewolf tamer and unfortunately pigmum doesn't want me to share this secret. I was going to show Simon Cowell on BGT...
So how guys me again with yet another thread on poop! I've read the threads and guinea pig lynx website on poos about 100 times and yet everytime I see something a little off I still write a thread- I blame my nerves!
Mo is normal in himself -recently seen the vet for his ear (which by the...
Is This Squabbling Or A Sign The Bond Isn't Going To Work Out?
On this thread I shared a picture of Mo's ear that had a white spot on it because I wondered if the pairs squabbling had anything to do with it.I'm happy to say both boars are still together (still the odd squabble though!)
Now...
Does anyone else's guinea pig roll over?! Mo does :lol!: if I stroke him near his belly he rolls over like a dog- must be ticklish! And (as you'll see in the video) when he gets a bit over excited...
(This video was taken ages ago Mo was a baby) here I decided to get 'crafty' and make a...
I never realised how fun floortime could be! The first time I tried it with Mo, I was rather nervous - and he stuck by my side so I think he was too :lol!: but eventually he learnt that my bedroom floor was a safe space and went mental!
Now I get them out together as much as possible. I...
So I hope these help (other then being adorable LOL) but basically thought I'd share some videos of the behaviour I noticed from Mo when I introduced Steve. Of course I'm sure you will all note the size difference (Steve isn't that small anymore :( ) but you'll also see what many members and...
Looking back through my instagram posts today (sad I know...) and realised I hadn't shared with you one of my favourite videos of all time! Back when Mo was a lone piggy this was taken a short while after I thought he had a URI. As you all know, Mo adores a good cardboard tube and here he had...
Went to Pets@Home today to get another 1kg bag (I think lol its the biggest one they do) of Timothy hay. I know it's not the best value for money (actually think they messed up as the sign said £6.99 and I paid £4 something :whistle:) but Mo loves it and Steve has been on it since I got him...
