How did you find out about the forum?

I'll be honest... We got our piggies, and did some general searching for Guinea pig things, cages, houses etc... mostly around youtube, but I found this forum by simply Google searching 'Guinea Pig Forum'. I browsed for about 30minutes, and in that time found lots of really helpful hints, tips, food charts, guidelines, just lots of really helpful stuff :)

The two main things that sealed it for me though was:
  1. Easy to get around the site and find what you are looking for.
  2. What looks like a majority UK member base !? (I've found it hard finding helpful links to people across the pond before now)
On the whole, this forum has made it onto my bookmarks bar so is simple to get to :)
 
I found the forum using a google search. I used to be part of "The Piggy Hub" but it seems to have been neglected by its admin lately sadly. So I created an account on here and am really liking it so far.

As far as I remember I found it by accident when looking up guinea pig stuff. I'm so chuffed I did, i go on here every day, it's almost given me a social life from the sofa!
 
I searched Google for help with introducing two boars. It was here that I learned about boars teenage hormones and behavior. I visited many sites before finding this information. I am a newbie, and have learned a few things the hard way, but this forum has been the most helpful and supportive resource I've found so far.
 
We found this forum ages ago from looking up various piggie problems and used it as a guest. It was when we started getting more guinea pigs about last year that we decided to become a member.
 
I found the forum via google. I searched "guineapig forum" and this is one of the first/best that showed up. I was looking for help with specific health related questions at first but then ended up really liking the forum. It's nice having other people who are passionate about guineapigs to talk to :)
 
Hey!

I found you by typing guinea questions into google- "which vegetables are best for guinea pigs" "how to bond with rescued guinea pigs" etc.

The forum came up multiple times and was always very helpful so I decided to cut out the middle man and join!

And I am so pleased I did.

Just from joining today and following advice my piggies seem happier and I've got my husband to be in the garage building a "extension" to their home!

Love Chloe and The Wiglets- Vader and Franco. x

Me Too! Ha ha ha ha ha! :yahoo::)):clap::tu:
 
I found this forum by typing in Guinea pig forum into google too and this is the first one that came up it was so informative that it is on my bookmarks bar as well and I dip into it a few times a day to see what is going on.
 
I am not a social person and I have never joined a forum before; but after adopting my piggies I was searching for a forum for sharing experiences and having a good chat, reading also stories by other pigs' owners and this is what I found. I though a lot whether joining it or not because my english is not fluent.:mal:
Although in Italy guinea pigs are not popular pets and people hardly know them, in Rome there are 2-3 famous savvy piggies vets, therefore I would not need to drive far for getting the best check-ups/treatments; but sharing something, also a simple pic, with my friends who only ask "why not a cat?" is demoralizing.
 
I was doing what most anxious pet owners do and googling what could be the cause of my guinea pigs sneezing fit and clicked on here. I read the experience of another member and saw a vet...Mo had an allergy PHEW

Later I revisited the site and saw a thread I really wanted to respond too and realised I needed to actually join the site and boom here I am! I love it on here and I enjoy having the ability to A ask questions without always worrying that my piggy is ill and rushing him to the vet and B having the ability to help ease someone's else's worry. Not only that but I've found a piggy on here that I'd really love to offer a home and bond with my Mo - waiting on the approval from boss pig.

A friend who has piggies recommended the forum as she has received lots of helpful tips and advise from you all
 
I like it on here so much I made a donation! It is good to have a forum where you can ask that you think are stupid or silly questions and the answers you get are really helpful. Everyone is so lovely and helpful and you're not made to feel like an idiot.
 
When I did my month and a bit's research I found that this forum popped up first for most answers so decided to join it to talk piggy with piggy savvy people :)
 
I was specifically looking for guinea pig forums in the UK on Google since I did not want to join any others.
 
I as of late began wellness preparing again and my refrigerator is full to overflowing with new products of the soil essentially veggies... anyway, I'm getting myself toss a great deal of stalks, leaves, closes away and it made them think this used to go to my piggies, which got me genuinely needing them once more, so I hit Google to begin to accumulate data (as its been two or three years) and there you were! glanced around for a bit as a visitor and chosen to join as this is by all accounts a neighborly, useful place
 
Good old google search, just wanted a nice forum to better understand my Piggy's
