Re: Questions about my Deaf / Blind cavy

I'd get her a friend, a female would be best. Guinea pigs don't hve the best sight anyway and the smell of the other piggy might comfort her and she would know she was there.

My pigs freak out when I touch them in the cage, I don't think it has much to do with her disability. She can probably sense something above her, and her instincts kick in.

I don't like being suspended in mid air (walking over glass and rock climbing), I can imagine pigs don't like it either, as long as she fine when she is on you I wouldn't worry.

Baby food? As in human? I don't know about that!. As for the rest of her diet I would keep adding other veggies, some pigs just take time to get to like it.

Also the tablets in her water aren't good- it makes it taste funny and the sunlight breaks down the vit c content making it useless! You can give her the tablets in some apple if you want. Also apple shouldn't be fed daily- it can lead to ulcers.

Sounds like you are doing a great job. Please build her a c&c cage- she will have more running around space without so much bumping into things. Also you will need extra space with another pig.


Why would you get her spayed?

Keep us updated on her progress.
