Obviously the anus isn't the best smelling part of the piggy, but my god. I put my thumbs on each cheek (he was on my chest, looking down) and I spread them out. Turns out their anus can... Open up? If that makes any sense. There was some hay and some woodshavings, and I was going to grab a...

Hi there! I'm a recent new owner of 2 male guinea pigs and I was hoping for some advice in general about looking after them. They are in a 2 x 3 C&C cage with a loft and I use fleece bedding that is washed every 3 days! They get fresh veggies morning and night and nuggets and hay! Is there...
