    Biting piggie

    Hello everyone! I have two guinea pigs: Odin (3y/o Rex, intact boar) and Woezel (2y/o Teddie, rescued intact boar). Odin has always been rather fidgety and impatient during lap time, while the other piggies that I've owned in the past were all very calm. He became calmer as he got older, but he...

    Guinea pics terrified at vets

    Hi all, I went to the vets for the first time with my guinea pigs yesterday and come away feeling disheartened 😩.

    Piggi With Long Hair

    How Can I Build Their Confidence?

    We got some new piggies a while ago and they're still very shy and nervous. They are in a quiet environment with a big pen. They are two male piggies who get along well but can argue over veggies from time to time. They can also be handled by people but freeze and don't move because of nerves...
