    Guinea pig suddenly scared of everything - URI?

    Hello everybody! I'm worried about our 2.5 year old boar Manteli. We have had him and his brother for almost a year.

    Raspy Wheaks

    Hi hi! My 4 month old girl, Café, her wheaks got noticeably raspy/not crisp+sharp one morning after rescuing her from her head getting stuck in a toilet paper tube. She was screaming a lot, so I wasn’t sure if it was because of that. Her wheaks stayed raspy from then on. I listened to her...

    Unsure of URI?

    Hey! The piggie in question is our boy Minkus, he’s a rescue though I suspect around 4-5 y/o, for a nice few months now he does a little cough, but that’s normally when he’s eating or drinking and he IS a chunky guy so we’re thinking that’s just due to eating or drinking too fast. He’s been...
