new baby

Hi there! I recently welcomed a new guinea pig into my home. He's around 2-3 months old, and I decided to name him Brownie. Brownie is currently living with my adult guinea pig, Piggy. However, I'm encountering an issue where Piggy constantly starts sniffing or biting his butt? I’m not sure what...

Hey everyone I just adopted a new baby from my local animal shelter. I brought him home and let him get settled and once he was a little more relaxed I did a little check in to see if he was in good health or if I missed anything at the shelter. I noticed a slight smell around his mouth so I...

Hello Everyone, Saturday I got a new guinea pig, Nugget, so that my old one, Peppa, won't feel alone after we've separated her from her babies. Unfortunately, the visit to the vet had to wait till Monday so I kept them separate just to be safe, since I got her from a pet store and from what I...

Since roughly around yesterday 10am, I have been bonding my Harvey (aprox a year) with a new baby pig (aprox 1 month) Milton, I didn’t read up enough and thought washing Harvey’s blankets and wiping down a bit would be enough to put Milton in his cage, stupid now that I know. They were NOT...

So after the first week of being here the two of them are finally settling together, Maple has accepted that Beans is the boss, and Beans likes to remind her on an hourly basis... :doh: As she's only 8 months Maple is such a fast little pig. Beans, however, at the ripe old age of 6 and a half...

After buttons, we decided the right thing for Benji would be a new friend. So we found and bought barney, little white and ginger munchkin! When we took him home, we discovered righworm, so he's just completed a month of treatment! Today was his first meeting with Benji, we set up a pen on...

The smaller piggy of my two 7 week olds, Beansprout, flips onto her side and nibbles quite frequently when being handled, we've tried to handle them calmly and gently, and we've put her behaviour down to being young or perhaps needing a wee or poo when being handled, but the other piggy, Noodle...

I just got a baby guinea pig today (he's about 6-8 weeks I think?) and he makes a weird noise before making a noise that sound like he's coughing or choking? His nose isn't runny but he keeps nearly closing one of his eyes. I can't find any thing on this and I'm scared? Please help? He also is...

I have a three month old female and her cage is pretty clean but she is not super clean and is starting to smell. I'm wondering what to do for bathing situations? Any help would be much appreciated. :help:

This is Sunny, he's 11 months old and he might be getting a little brother tomorrow! I've read all the info in the forum about bonding two boars. I've purposely waited until Sunny's hormones were a bit more stable until introducing a new friend, to minimize fighting. Personality wise, Sunny is...
