I had two female guinea pigs, Ginger and Dixie. Dixie died suddenly this morning (may her beautiful little soul rest in peace) and I am in shambles. I don't know how to handle Ginger not having a mate. She is eating and seems to be doing okay. I don't want her to be without a friend if it is...

My guinea pig Ginger had pink blood about a month ago. I kept a close eye on it and it went away. Well, I just went up to give the pigs some veggies and the white fleece she was laying on has brown spots and a fresh spot of pee with a red spot and gunk. I'm sure it was her who did it because she...

Where in New York are you? I have been looking into adopting another female.

I had my first ear peircing when I was about 8. I tried to get my second ear holes done about 2 years ago but they never healed right. You shouldn't get them done in the mall...I learned that the hard way. Right now I'm trying to convince my mom to let me get my naval pierced. I don't want a...

Okay thanks. I did find a store that can order it for me pretty cheap but I am going to call around to the supply stores around here for no-name brand hay. I didn't know that hay brand didn't matter but now that I do I can save even more money.

Thanks so much. Hopefully I will have a better chance convincing my Mom now. I plan to have a job soon to pay for everything. Now I am doing extensive weekly chores to pay for food and stuff. I was worried the cost of caring for three guinea pigs would increase significantly but it's nice to...

I currently have two wonderful guinea pigs Dixie and Giner. I was looking on petfinder the other day and they have an adorable female that I would love to adopt. How much more work is it to have three guinea pigs than two? Right now I spend about $3-$5 a week on vegetables and a bag of oxbow...

I have had my two guinea pigs for almost a year. They seem to get along and run about their cage. My cage is very large and plenty big for four guinea pigs let alone two. When I take them out for floortime and for their salad around 8 or 9 at night they hide and quickly eat. Ginger is very...

No she is not pregnant. Thanks all for the replies. I'm going to do the white towel thing and see how she does. I might as well do it for both pigs just to be safe...I did clean their cage yesterday and there were no blood spots only a few tan ones but I heard that is normal. I'll keep you...

I had my piggies out for floor time yesterday and I noticed a pinkish spot on the towel I had them on...Ginger went exploring on the left side of the cage and when I was cleaning up I saw a small puddle of bloody urine. It must be hers because she was the only piggy over in that area. I am...

I was at Americas fair near the lottery building and there was a tent with sugar gliders. I am not familiar with them as I have only had guinea pigs, hamsters and mice as small pets. The company was called Pocket Pets if anyone is familiar with it. Their website is XXXXXXXXXX. I was listening to...

That sounds like what Ginger has...the night before I noticed her breathing she coughed on her veggies. Her breathing seems alot worse today though so I'm going to give the vet a call.

I was holding my guinea pig Ginger this morning and noticed that she is wheezing while breathing. It sounds almost like she has liquid in her lungs. It also seems as though it is slighty laborous breathing. She has no runny nose or no secretions out of her eyes however last night while she was...

Thanks! I guess they'll be getting a nice treat today!
