Hi everyone, I'm from Jax, Fla. I'm new to the group and with guinea pigs. I have two piggies ( Mochabear & Peanut ). I am hoping to get some good advice here on them. Hope to chat with someone soon. Toni

Hi Toni, nice to meet you and welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll learn a lot here, there's so much information, and it's a great place to get feedback and answers to questions. I have five pigs myself, four lady pigs and one neutered male.
Take care,

Welcome!
I have four piggies, three girlies and one neutered boy. Are your pigs male or female? What kinds? Any pigtures? We love pigtures.

Welcome Starryblen, I have nine piggies. Yipes! One is named Peanut. I am at absolute maximum capacity here, eight girls and one neutered boar who is not bored! Be careful, I started out with two boys, six years ago. Definitely habit-forming.

I echo that! piggies are certainly addictive, thankfully I'm at my full capacity too!

Thank"s everyone for the warm welcomes. First let me say WOW !! nine piggies, I don't know if I could handle that many, two is hard enough. My two are little girls. I do have a question, I started using fleece today to see how it works, My little girls just love it, they started bouncing all over the cage when I put them back in. I have never seen Mocha Bear do that before . Anyway my question is, how do you spot clean when they pee and if they start chewing on the fleece should I take it up and use something else or will it not hurt them? Thanks for the replies! I am waiting on my new C&C cage, so as soon as I get it up I will up load some pics. Toni P.S. Does anyone go in the chat room?

Welcome! For spot cleaning the fleece, what I do is, once or twice a day, vacuum up any poos. If you have enough layers of newspaper, towels, puppy pads/whatever you use, there shouldn't be a need to clean up the pee. It should soak right through the fleece to the other layers, so your pigs' feet stay dry! That is if you do everything right- ie: don't use any softener, and wash 2-4 times before using. This will make it have the maximum "wickiness." I wash all my fleece once a week. This thread should cover any other questions about your fleece:

I have two sows as well! Snickers, and Skye. Snickers is the pig in my avatar.
