#guineapig

Hi all, I have been thinking about getting some Piggies for a while now. I have done months worth of research on them and their care, but the one thing that is holding me back from getting some piggies is the fear of them coming out in ringworm. I have asked so many different people about it...

I just got a male guinea pig 5 days ago from a animal shelter. They didn't have his age, it was unknown. For the first 2 days he was perfectly fine. Of course he ran away from me when I tried to pick him up. But thats what all piggies do as what ive seen/read. After those 3 days we started...

Hai, I have a guinea pig named Storm, and I guess she's always been a picky eater. I remember when I first got her (Will be a year on Dec. 10th) and I wasn't educated enough. We bought her the food with the colored shapes, and she'd only eat those, not the brown pellets. So, I changed up her...

My name is Sarah. I’m a final year university student studying Applied Animal Studies. For my dissertation I am researching how guinea pig owners care for their companion guinea pigs. There are 19 questions and I would really appreciate your contribution. Your answers will be kept confidential...

Hello everyone :) xx Recently I adopted two adorable little guinea pigs from my local rescue, and the cage that they came in is so horrible and tiny - they are both miserable and bored stiff. :soz: I've been busy writing ideas and cage plans and have now decided to attach a Bluebell Hideaway...

I noticed something strange about my guinea pigs. I know I will need to go to a vet soon. However I want to make extra sure if my piggies will be okay. I was cleaning their cage and I noticed a little puddle of light red but clear pee. My dad told me he fed them carrots and that's why their pee...

I had 3 guinea pigs, they were all brothers from the same litter. They were all different sizes, one is very big and heavy, the other is just right and likes to play and Pipsqueak (who sadly died not so long ago) has always been very small and delicate. They're all a year and they live in my...
