I have two male Guinea pigs.
I have been doing all of the things that you're supposed to do, at least the things that I'm physically able to do (I have Cerebral Palsy and am wheelchair bound). I'm not able to pick them up on my own. I sat by their cage literally all day, every day for two weeks...
Hello,
I have been trying to find a friend for my male (~2.5 year old) piggie, Casper. I found a sweet/troublemaker skinny pig and they did fairly well with introductions at the shelter, so we decided to try a foster-to-adopt. I started slow, switching dishes and hideouts then put them together...
So I have to questions really:
1. Recently I had two of my three guinea pigs died. We think they had some virus or something.. completely random thing that thankfully I didn't end up losing all of my pigs too. The thing is I got two new Guinea pigs the other day and my older girl ( she's only...
So, I rescued a baby sow who is about 6 weeks old, the mum passed and it's herd separated. I have 4 older sow piggies. 2 are 6 months old and the other two 3 months old.
This was fully unplanned and I only knew on the day when I found her and had to rescue her.
I have put her in a cage right...
Last week I lost one of my guinea pigs very suddenly. He left behind 2 cage mates one 4 years old named Brownie and that was with S'more(my g pig that passed) for his entire life and another guinea pig(Puddin) and he is just under a year. Their reaction has been worrying me.
Brownie has...
So I felt I would know if a bond has failed but I’m unsure.
As you know I recently welcomed my new addition Stitch for Steve.
I returned home from work today and Steve has a scratch on his nose and a tiny tiny speck of a scratch near his eye. It’s not a wound I’m concerned about. It’s not deep...
I am still quite new to owning guinea pigs with only owing 3 in my lifetime and this is my first time having two guinea pigs together. I own two boars named Wasabi and Tofu who about 9 months old. They seem to get along quite well for the most part. They are able to share food bowls, water...
Hi I have these two female guinea pigs named Shrimp and Kiwi and I’m not sure if they’re getting along together or not. Shrimp is older by 2 weeks and she’s a lot bigger than Kiwi but it appears that Kiwi is more dominant and when Kiwi gets up into Shrimp’s face Shrimp looks upward as if to say...
I’ve had my guinea pig for about two months with out any problem. She’s about a month and a half old. So I decided to get a new one so they can bond. I reached out to a rescue and they had one female named lea she’s at least half a year old ( 100g bigger) but that said she was antsy. I wanted...
i used to have two girls, butterscotch and cashew. cashew was always the shy, submissive one of the two. unfortunately butterscotch passed away a few months ago and my city only seemed to have pairs up for adoption and i didnt have a big enough space for 3. well that changed and i have a...
Hi guys,
Me and my BF are new piggie slaves haha. Everyday I try to inform myself about caring of pigs, thus resulted in me joining this forum! Though it seems we should've educated ourselves prior. We have 4 sows, We recently got our fourth on early december. I read all about bonding and i'm...
I recently just got a pig named Max (white piggy). Their owners couldn't keep him since they were moving to a smaller place, so I had my piggy meet him. I thought it was fine between them, a lot of dominance between the both of them but nothing more serious when I met with her. Once I got home...
My guinea pig (nibbles) is a boy who will not stop attacking my other piggies hes around 2 years old and keeps biting his farther and my other male and actually rips out fur or makes them bleed. They got along one time but he was younger. Now whenever they are together he will chase them, bite...
I have a 2 year old girl named Luna and yesterday I adopted another girl to replace Luna's cage mate that sadly passed last month. And some of Luna's behavior towards the new piggie has left me confused and slightly worried because I had never seen it before. Their first initial introduction...
Hi there,

Hey guys! I've been under some great stress over my 2 babies and I need your opinion/help. Please bare with me, this will be long but I wanted to give as much information as I could to get better help.
I got the brothers, Smores and Teddy, when they were just babies, now they are a little...
So by now I'm guessing Steve has gone through his teenage hormone stage. He's testicles have descended etc and he's definitely bigger then he was. Last night and now tonight (can't speak for the day as I wasn't here all day) They seem a bit uptight with each other. No full on biting or any real...
I've had my 2 Guinea Pigs, Mocha and Coco for a while now and Mocha is just fine with me being around. She lets me pick her up and pet her and things like that. However, Coco is still extremely shy. I do understand that when you first get your Guinea Pigs, they'll be shy and it may take some...
Hi,
So I have a 4 month old guinea pig. She lives by herself because I do not have the room for two sadly. I handler her a lot and she has a lot of toys to keep her occupied. She lives a spoiled life. She has now started to bite me (not breaking skin, but more than nibbles). She swings her...
