Where are you based @himariyuno ? We have members all over the world and it is useful to know whether you are in the UK/US... Or elsewhere.

I have never heard of a guinea pig being diagnosed with Pica. Most nutritional deficiencies in Guinea pigs are addressed by adjusting their diet. I would never give my guinea pigs, a mineral block.


If your guinea is squeeking when he wees, he needs to see a vet..... But I'm not sure your current vet has the right skills to treat Guinea Pigs.
