elder guinea pig

Hi! My 7.5 y/o guin pig Nut has been refusing to eat hay for a while - while having a monster appetite for anything that isn't hay (pellets, veg, critical care, joint supplements I feed him). After a visit to the vet we found out that he has overgrown molars trapping his tongue, and today he...

I have a piggy who’s nearly 8 so you can image I’m a bit jumpy about her health 😅 recently I’ve noticed she has reoccurring bouts of hiccups. It’s very short and doesn’t upset her. I mostly notice it when she’s out for floor time but it’s happened once or twice in the cage too. She does have...
