This morning I found a little patch of my guinea pigs fur missing, I picked her up to investigate what it was. As I was checking through her fur there was a fleshy red scab on her back. I’ve researched everything about it to figure out how it could’ve happened but i’m still not too sure. I...

Is it okay if my 6 month old female Guinea pig has had an eye infection a second time after having it just a month ago.

Hello! My guinea pig likes stretching out after a little nap or when being petted. He’s a little chubbier than “normal” piggies and when he stretched out I noticed this there’s a little wider part. When my two piggies started arguing, it led to a fight and cookie was probably grooming himself a...

Hello, I have 2 guinea pigs called Kenco and Crumpet. I got Kenco in September of 2016. This morning I got woken from my guineas really squealing so I rushed up and went to the cage. I loved Crumpet out of the way as my first thought was they where fighting. (They get along really well) I...

I have two guinea pigs. One is around 10 months (cookie). The other is around 5-6 months. The problem is the 5-6 months (walnut) is obsessively dominant right now. He runs after cookie, teeth chatters, lunges, and forces cookie out of their cage. Their space is good. They have one Midwest cage...

Hello. I never had a problem with guinea pigs and pesticides but recently a bunch of Argentina ants decided to enter my home. We had to call pest control and after they left, we put out some ant killers for any remaining ants. The pesticide that we put out is in a flat plastic container. ______...

Hello! I’m really worried right now. Although I am experienced with guinea pigs, I am not a pro. My guinea pig recently peed pink a few days ago then it stopped and returned to their usual color. It started being pink when I slowly adjusted them to their new pellets. They loved it but shortly...

Hi all, I am new and don't know if I posted this in the right place. Sometime in the future I would like to start my own guinea pig rescue and I would place the rescued pigs in large c and c cages in winter and sheds in summer. Would it be cruel to do this because when they get adopted they...

Hi Three weeks ago, we noticed that out three year old female guinea pig (Jupiter) was unable to eat. She was trying to eat, but was unable to bite. We went to a vet, but he did not gave a substantial cure. We changed the vet. Went to vet number 2. Even he didn't had the required expertise and...

Hello! I’m here to talk about my guinea pig. There’s nobody to ask about how to know what is going on with her and I just want to find clarity. My guinea pig, well where do I start? I have a guinea pig named Nickel and I got her and her play mate from a woman. That one died somehow and I woke...

Hi sorry if this is long but I’m concerned about Scooby’s eye. It started September/October time last year. It started out with just a tiny lump that you could only notice if you pulled his eye back so I took him to the vets and got given some eye drops (sorry I can’t remember the name). They...

Hello everyone, I’m just wondering how much should you take your piggies out of their cage or give them lap time? How important is this and how much do you let your piggies have floor and lap time? Is once a week enough or should it be more? Thanks x

Hi all, I’m very curious about what you all think about buying pets from pet shops and any bad experiences you have encountered with them. I highly dislike pet shops for many reasons. So so many parents go in with their kids and end up buying a pet they know nothing about. I feel so sorry for...

I give my guinea pigs Apple branches a couple times a week and I gave them skinnier ones and they both ate them completely-can’t find them anywhere in cage. Is this okay?

Hi I’ve noticed this white thing on Scrappys penis, I’m really worried as I don’t know what it is and I really don’t want everyone to say take him to a vet! How can I get it off? The 2 bits at the bottom of him are woodshavings it’s the penis part I’m worried about.

Hi I got baby scales from a friend today and weighed my one year old male guinea pigs for the first time. Scooby weighs 1,600g and Scrappy weighs 1,500g are they normal weights as I read that they should be no more than 1,200g? Thanks :)
