Hey! Today, my guinea pig Muffin passed away, he was in a pair with my other pig, Cookie. Now I only have Cookie left and I'm really worrying as to what I should do with him. Rehoming is an option however I simply don't have the heart to give away one of my pigs. Adopting another pig is an...

My guinea pig was eaten by a big ole husky today. Outside my house I had a patch of grass I usually let my piggy’s eat from while I’m cutting grass. Today my neighbour took his dog out to walk and when he came back my brother got scared and the guy said “Don’t worry he is gentle dog” next thing...

Hi, I have had my two bonded male piggies for 6 years now since they were only 8 weeks old or so. The dominant one of them has recently sadly been put down. My other pig got to see the body and seemed to show no interest in it, continuing to graze. He has been eating alright since then and was...

hi, my guinea pig died about 5 days ago now, and i just feel awful for the cagemate she's left behind. as far as i know she isn't experiencing acute pining. she's fine with walking around the cage, drinking and eating, but seeing her alone in there just breaks my heart since she's never been a...

Hi everyone. Unfortunately today one of my piggies lost his battle with an infection :( He was sick and old and it was just his time to leave us. Unfortunately he has left behind his brother, who’s been with him pretty much all of his life. I don’t really have the energy for a new pig, so I know...

Hi everyone, I got my little girl pickles about 2 months ago. She is very loud and popcorns often. She does, however, have some weird behaviors I’d like to ask about as I’m worried about my baby. They thought she was about 4 months old when I got her. She looooves cuddles to the point where she...

Hello everyone! I had two guinea pigs, two five year old sows and one sadly passed away only two days ago. My family and I are quite unsure of what to do since we only have one now, she is extremely lonely. We need help, or some tips... ~My piggy Popbell.

Hello everyone, I am incredibly thrilled to adopt my first guinea pigs! Although I haven't owned cavies yet, I've done quite a bit of research and feel as ready as I'll ever be. My only question is this: I would love to rehome a lone boar from CL, neuter him, than place him with a pair of one...

Hello, I've had two guinea pigs for the last 5 years, both boys and they've lived together since they were around 8 weeks old. This morning, one of them was very lethargic and not very willing to eat so he went to the vets. The vet examined him and said he has either sprained his spine (he was...

I wrote a post on Wednesday that one of my guinea pigs sadly passed due to cancer. We had two boys which has left us with one (both males) and at first my guinea pig was fine. He was a little bit jittery but he has been interacting and eating normally. I took him to the vets yesterday for a...

Just looking to get some advice on my current situation as I am very new to owning guinea pigs. I rescued a male guinea pig about a week ago. His situation was pretty grim - he was kept in a tiny cage with a filthy water bottle and nails so long they started to curl. He is around five years old...

So 3 days ago one of my pigs past away, he was rushed to an emergency vet and diagnosed with pneumonia but passed away that night...after he past I totally disinfected the cage and bedding for my remaining pig. My vet said it’s possible but not likely my other pig would have caught it, so to...

Hi :) A little backstory first... Last year I adopted 2 baby guinea pigs, unfortunately several months later one of them passed away and we were left with 1. So we bought another guinea pig to keep him company. Just as of yesterday, the 2nd guinea pig that we bought passed away suddenly and now...

Hi Everyone :) Me and my partner aren't new to guinea pigs but we wanted a bit of advice on a problem we haven't had before. So we had a trio of brothers (all adopted together), which got on lovely for about a year and a bit (they have a nice custom big cage with lots of open hideys and toys...

Yesterday, my guinea pig Ted passed away after about a year of having him and we're not sure what to do with my other guinea pig Chester. We brought them on the 8th of August and Ted passed away on the 7th of July due to natural causes. We could either give Chester away yet that will make me...

I have a four year old guinea pig whose friend passed away about six months ago. My guinea pig didn't really care that her friend was gone, she was eating and drinking normally and she didn't gain or lose any weight. She didn't get depressed or anything like that. But lately i just don't know...

i had two guinea pigs, not particularly old (around 2 years, just under) and 2 days ago found one of the boys dead. The day before he seemed perfectly happy and healthy, so I have no idea what happened. I now have one left, (his cage mate) who seems healthy and is eating and drinking fine since...

Rip squeaky 2013 or 2014 - 2018 16th April 14:46 You shall be missed She was found in pain and being spastic as the lumps on her were pushing onto her brain . We drove her straight to the vet and she had to be put down which is really hard for me since I’ve had them my whole life. I also have...

I don't think I'm quite in the right category, I've never posted in anything like this before, I couldn't find a catagorey that quite fit. I just need to tell someone what happened and get some advice for my other pig. I'm sorry that this will be so long. My guinea pig Pumba died on Saturday. He...
