I found out about you guys while google searching information on guinea pigs. Two reputable sites kept popping up, yours and guinealynx, both great sites which I use all the time. I am having a bit of trouble though getting answers to my questions, re the 10 day old pig with pneumonia and how to clear blocked airways. Maybe I am not using the site correctly. it would be useful to be able to contribute and take part in a conversation. I have a lot of rescued pigs and am constantly seeking advice, and wanting to share what works for me and what doesnt re bedding etc. I am always experimenting with indoor C&C cage setups and bedding and trying to find an easy solution that works well for my pigs and is easy and quick for me, given I have so many piggy floor spaces and beds to clean daily.
 
hi @AnnetteMac if you need help on health issues please try going to the health and illness section of the forum and opening a new thread there. Our health and illness gurus monitor that thread and will attempt to answer any questions you may have.

Welcome AnnetteMac this is a fantastic group. I use mattress protector face up must be 100% cotton. I get my protectors from tesco. Over that I put fleece from the Range. I sweep twice a day & wash the covers every 5 to 7 days. But that depends how many piggies to a cage
 
Came here via Google. Lurked for a little while, thought it looked like a good forum, and decided to join.

Thanks Tiamolly, what a good idea about the mattress protectors, havent tried them yet and will do so. Do they dry quickly? I am sure I can find similar here in Tas. Once again great group, a privilage to be a member!

The fleece can go on a low heat for about 20 mins. Unfortunatley you can't wash the protectors as they will so it's line or clothes dryer in the house. We've got 2 sets so we always have one ready. You have to wick the fleece. Wash in in non biological powder & white viniger, then once the water goes through that's it. Put water through when you've dried it. The other thing is tuck the fleece under the corex so no little piggie goes under. I had 2 do it till I did this method.
Good luck! Sue x

I found you through Google when I was researching what I would need for my piggies and if I should get them. I like the GPF but I find it quite tricky to navigate around! I sometimes have to ask my other half to help!
 
I agree I is a great forum full of information. My kids and I are thoroughly enjoying all the new things we are learning together. From them bedding to behaviour it's amazing to learn.

I found you through Google - I typed a question about male guinea pig behaviour into Google and got several threads that lead to this forum. I read all about Boars and their behavioural traits and it was so useful! So I signed up :-) x
 
Found through Google whilst doing research on Guinea Pigs to find out how to look after them and if they are the right pet for me. Since I now have two girlies, it seemed only right to join up.

No, we don't have an app. Our forum runs on voluntary member donations and mods who work for free in their free time for the forum. It simply doesn't stretch as far as that. ;)
But the forum is perfectly accessible on any appliance that accesses the internet.
 
App's take lots of money and development time. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to ever do something like this unless I win the lottery and then once we have located TGPF headquarters to the Caribbean we may look into it :))
 
Ah the dreaded 'green silhouette' image for now... Well I did a Google search on pigs and it led me this way. Best set of answers for my question (girls or boys better) and I joined immediately Of course I am not in the UK but that shouldn't stop the pig love! ;).

Found the group on google when looking for advice. Then I browed without becoming a member for about a month and eventually joined because everyone seemed really helpful and welcoming. :)
 
I found this forum by accident when I was looking for info on introducing indoor guinea pigs to going outside in the garden, as I have my first garden and am building an enclosure for my guinea pigs to go out in a run when the weather is nice. I like that this forum seems friendly, sensible & responsible, so i joined ☺
 
I found this website in 2015 but didn't join till 2016. I was looking for information about how to keep your guinea pig warm or when can you tell when your piggy is ill. After I found the website I used it nearly every day to find stuff out about guinea pigs. Then I found out you can join the forum and then I joined! The reason why I joined was to learn more information and to help other people, and now its been 6 months later and ive learnt so much and helped other people. So I just want to say I massive thank you to the staff members for helping me what to do when my guinea pig is ill and a massive thank you to all the people ive met and talked to :hug::):D
