what can be the causes of bloat becuase Steve keeps getting episodes of it and I feel like a crappy pig mum right now.

Hi all! I have a 5 year old piggy who I recently noticed had a bit of a bulge, of course brought her straight to the vet panicking it was a tumour and was told to see how her weight goes and call back. Her weight continued to drop (about 20g a week) so I went back. She’s currently in the vets...

Hi, me and my boyfriend bought 3 guinea pigs just over a year ago. We’ve tried everything to bond with the guinea pigs, and they seem terrified of us, apart from feeding times, we can’t pet or hold them which makes daily tasks not only difficult but stressful for both myself and the 3 little...

So I’ve got a tonne of grids ready to build a C and C cage for my two boys- well two cages actually as they’ve decided they want to kill each other. I now need a stand (long and wide tho not super wide) that the cage can go on. Ideally I’m thinking one that has space underneath for another cage...

Hiya, Unfortunately I'm back with more (different) skin issues. I noticed some tiny white worm-looking things moving in my guineas fur - I think they're lice, but will get them checked by a vet to be sure and get treatment for them. I have noticed them scratching a bit, but no...
