I have 10 boys living in a cage together. It is a 2x6 fleece living area with a 2x6 kitchen area attached in a L shape (so all together a 2x12). This is the most I have ever housed together, and it is working out quite well. I will certainly never have this many in one cage again though! The...

4 Lil Pigs n Buns Rescue has lots of baby and young pigs right now. Most are males, but we also have younger momma piggies that gave birth a bit ago that will also be up for adoption. Nearly all pigs are under a year old, most just a few months old. We will be having a big baby adoption event...

A bird cage is NOT appropriate housing for guinea pigs! It is far too small and the wire bottom will hurt their feet. The spacing of these bars is so far apart, they may even have their feet slip through and break their legs. Put some cardboard down as a temporary measure until you can get a new...

Good luck finding these girls homes!

Thanks so much! :) Just an FYI that you may not be able to reach anyone during the work day. We are a network of foster homes, and all of us have full time jobs. Also, this is the pair I was referring to: (broken link removed) and (broken link removed)We do have a couple more texels, however...

Thank you so much Catahoula. We have changed it so the 'secondary breed' is listed as 'guinea pig.' I didn't realize that it would narrow the search like that. Again, thank you!

The rescue I am with, 4 Lil Pigs n Buns, has over 30 guinea pigs at the moment, including texels and Peruvians. The closest foster home we have to you would be in Brandon. If you are interested, we do have a male pair, one texel and one silkie, who are ready for a forever home. If you fill out...

If you feel comfortable and good about your vet, I would go with them, as they have already met your bun and you have spoken with them. $150 is a good price most places. I pay $75, but that is because we called around to low cost clinics who eventually could direct us to another low cost place...

He looks quite overweight, so I would cut pellets out of his diet totally. Unlimited hay and a nice big salad divided into a breakfast and dinner would be fine. Make sure you are giving him a good mix of veggies, just like with guinea pigs. A foster bunny of mine came in recently very obese and...

The girl found in a cardboard box just gave birth! We are so grateful that the woman who found her took the time to find a rescue to place her in, so that she could have a safe and knowledgeable place to have her babies. There is one male (piggy on the left) and two females. We are still very...

I neglected to mention that all foster homes will receive a cage, hidey houses, water bottles, food bowls and fleece if needed. No pigs sent into foster care will be special needs (unless requested by a piggy savvy home), unweened babies or pregnant. skater1776- I read in your thread that you...

4 Lil Pigs n Buns Guinea Pig and Rabbit Rescue recently helped with a massive rescue involving a hoarding/breeding situation. Now, in addition to our bunnies and little critters, our number of pigs is now over 30! Most of the pigs came from the hoarding situation, and some are special needs...

Ah, I see. Well, I am very happy Mr. Bunny is now on speaking terms with you :) Good luck in finding him a friend!

I'm confused as to why the vet would keep him for a couple days after a neuter. Were there complications? Rabbits can be very easily stressed, so it is always better to have them recover in their own home. Have you seen him grinding his teeth, or not relaxing like he is in pain? Is he still on...

Oh my, $421 is far too much to pay. Ask the one that is $150 per bun if that includes things like bloodwork. That is not usually needed and is quite costly. You can also ask your local HRS chapter or a private bunny rescue group if they know a place that is reliable but also cheap. For example...
