One of the new guinea pigs I got (her name is Cupcake) keeps climbing on top of her hay feeder. I’m worried that I’ll go to bed at night and then wake up with her feet stuck in her feeder. Does anyone have any advice on how to get her to stop doing that? Right now I have the feeder higher up...

My little piggy has gone through alot. I think she's like two months old? Unsure. She's a problematic albino. She had gotten surgery on her eye.

Hey guys! So yesterday i got 2 new guinea pigs! I'm a first time owner and just want to make sure I'm doing everything right! My question is (I'm sure there will be many more!) do you use woodshavings or fleece for your piggies? At the mo i have shavings down as thats what the store...

So my two boars are currently on a fine grade heavily dust extracted wood shaving - i've always used this mostly because i had a horse that was allergic to dust of pretty much any sort and always had it lying around. I'd asked my vet in the past if it would be ok and because it was totally dust...
