Aww you are a moderator and you cant close a post. Aww I feel sorry for you.
By the way I did have a previous user called GuineaPigQueen but I was far to forward about my showing and someone banned me.
I can close a post, why don't you feel sorry for someone else and not for me. You just got yourself banned again by your own self admission. We don't allow banned people to rejoin under new names. How many of your so called "friends" would like to be banned with you?

Re: Breeder block hutches

I wish my pig wasn't in quarenteen just so I can have a picture of both of them together playing on the keyboard... where do children come into this, excuse my childlike mentality, I must not be able to comprehend that one.

Slap, thats adorable! I want to get one so my piggies, can chill with me more often.

Actually mine get loads of greens and fresh vegetables and fruit. Infact I spend about £30 a week on fresh food. I think thats about $50 depending on what your exchange rate is of course.

Re: Breeder block hutches

Yes, but my desk is made out of wood too. They do not live on my desk either. They live on fleece which is made out of cotton which is "gasp" grown in the wild.

You use metel for your hutches. Do they see chicken wire in the wild too?

Yes my guineas do know what a house look like thanks alot!
Their shed is very cosy and it even has a heater for the winter.
NOW do I care about my guineas? I think so.

Thats kind of funny. I don't use a scale. I know by eye what a cup looks like. Do you?

You must need to learn a lot, because yes, you do need to watch the Ca/Phos ratio when you feed your pigs. Ever heard of it? I have lots of print outs I requested from Oxbow Hay Co. which they sent to me. Would be happy to send some copys out for you, since it looks like you may need them.

Ever heard of a pellet free diet? I am considering that. But *gasp* breeders use pellets as a staple!

Well they arent sleeping on the wire are they? unless you need photographic proof?
My guineas sleep on wood shavings, theirs that wood word again and hay. All natural. My uncle works with wood for a living so I know that the shavings arent treated, and my other uncle has a farm, its organic!

Re: Breeder block hutches

I feed my pigs as much as they eat.
To me they need more than a cup full and loads of grass and veg too.

Re: Breeder block hutches

Yeah I bet guinea pigs see a lot of fleece in the wild and leap on the laps of passing humans for some laptime,you people are seriously deluded. while your across the room happy snapping the pigs could fall off the desk.

Re: Breeder block hutches

I am a new visitor to this forum, and I really have to say that some of the threads in this forum are not very welcoming to new members, a lot of you seem to come across as very rude people, who will not live and let live.

I think you should learn from your guinea pigs and get on with everyone in a big herd.

oh and by the way if you want to ban me go right ahead

Re: Breeder block hutches

So it's solid wood with no windows? I'm sure there is at least one unnatural component of your cage. Did you use nails, glue, wire for the window? A water bottle? If so they are seeing *gasp* un-natural things.

But I see that you are banned so it really doesn't matter.

Re: Breeder block hutches

I think I would rather risk my pig sleeping in a cuddle cup on a desk in front of me than being bred and bred again with a 20% chance she could die every time.

Re: Breeder block hutches

I know, eh Slap? We are so risky with our pigs in "un-natural enviroments", but in the end, who's pigs are healthier and happier? I think we all know the answer to that.

Re: Breeder block hutches

MMM Technology, see it's a great thing, I don't even have to leave my chair to take a picture, I set a timer on the digital, and it magically takes the picture for me, it's kinda nice. I will never worry about my pigs falling off my desk...
