males

and he was the bravest boy! Reggie weighs in at 1.11g 🥹 the vet seemed surprised at how clean and healthy he is. It’s so validating having a vet tell you your babies are perfect, especially when you have a lot of anxiety around whether or not you’re doing enough for them, feeding them the right...

We just adopted a 2 year old Guinea pig boar 2 days ago for my son. I personally am committed to his ultimate care. I’ve had Guinea pigs in the past many years ago so I considered myself an experienced owner, however, I see that much has changed since the days of yesteryear and that I in fact...

Hey, My boys Boris and Stanley are approximately 6 years old. They've had two homes before me. I've had them for over a year. Boris used to be dominant but recently Stanley has started to act more dominantly. A couple of days ago Stanley was chasing Boris around for probably a few hours in the...

I have just introduced a young male to an older (not by much) male who is considerably bigger. I purposely picked a submissive male baby so that the natural order would be: introduce them, older one takes dominance role as the alpha boar, then they chill and can be in the same cage. It’s been...

So a few days ago I upgraded the cage of my 3 year old pig and it is now big enough to host 2-3 pigs. I have 3 pigs and Finnian has been left by himself because he was not able to establish dominance and get along with the other two. Today, I tried again for the first time in over a year to get...

So I’ve been talking to my friend who’s old classmate is trying to rehome their two male guinea pigs, for a few months now. They asked me several months ago (right after I got my two girls) and I was thinking about getting them but they never responded. Until like a week ago, and she told me...

Until recently i had 2 male guinea pigs who had never got on (one was adopted after another passed away) i have tried floor time many times in a very large room and it’s always ended in a fight and sometimes injuries. One of the 2 (mixed colour Peruvian in the picture) was seeming very lonely so...

Mr Muffin was neutered last week and when I weighed him yesterday he has lost about 22g. I weighed him again today and he has lost about 25g. There hasn’t been anything wrong with him since the surgery. I think it might be because of the separation from Blueberry. They’ve been separated for a...

Hi! I’m a New Guinea pig mom, and I currently have 4 males living together. I have 3 youngsters, who I assume is one 3 month old and two 7 month olds. I also have one rescue who is over a year old. I got the two 7 month olds at the same time and the same place, then the 3 month old about a month...

7 days ago I got my first pair of guinea pigs! They're two boys and are about 7 weeks old now, though I'm fairly sure that one is older than the other since he's a little fatter and longer. Everything was fine for the first 5 days. We started with cuddling for 5 minutes and gradually got...

Hi there! I am going to buy a guinea pig next year and had been wondering about this. So I am going to put my piggies outside on a hutch on our backyard. Then there are my dogs... Will the piggies be afraid when dogs bark? And one more... Is it okay to pair up male guinea pigs? Thank you very...

Wondering if anyone could help me, I have a older guniea pig of 2 years and a new guinea pig I recently got as a friend for my other pig, I have given them two weeks apart before they met face to face and about 2 days ago I put them together. So far it’s been pretty okay but they are starting...

Hi there! Just a bit of background, although it says I am new to the Guinea Pig Forum, I had an account a long time ago yet was inactive for a long period of time. I have owned guinea pigs for 5/6 years now, my current two being Lenny, a 3 Year old long haired mop, and Noel, a 5 month old grey...

Hey! So me & my girlfriend rescued a guinea pig last year from a local SPCA. (His name is Felix). He was only 2 months old, and about a month after getting him we decided to get another. So we got Hammy, a 3 month old. We followed every step to introduce them, and only after a couple of days of...

Our two male guinea pigs ( tufty and nibbles) keep trying to mate with each other. Does anyone now how to stop them? Thanks

I'm new to owning piggies, I just got my first one on 11-26-17 from a pet page on Facebook and did all the research I could and knew he needed a friend. So on 11-29-17 I adopted another male from the shelter. I have no idea how old either of them are, but the first one was owned by the previous...

My name is Annelle - an enthusiastic new Guinea Pig parent. I have two little boys (less than 6 months old,) named Banjo and Snoopy. I intended to stop there until I was at a Petco and felt horrible for a bigger male who was being kept alone in the small cage. My heart when out to him and I...

Hello all! I am a new owner of two very handsome little guys, I have had them for about a month . They are playful and express themselves a lot I have read up on a lot of sounds and the meanings. I understand from this that they really don't like me much and i'm wondering if my naivety when I...

I own three male guinea-pigs consisting of two brothers and a half-brother. I've had them for over a year now, and they're around 12 - 13 months old. These guys have got on pretty well without any arguing or squabbles, but suddenly, out of nowhere, the half-brother has randomly turned on one of...
