    Great, thank you so much! Are the grids or coroplast bubble wrapped or anything? Or are they just shipped in the box? Thank you :)

    C&C Looking to purchase a C&C cage, how is it shipped?

    Hi Everyone, I am looking to purchase a new C&C cage from the guineapigcages store. As I am overseas does anyone have any pictures of the box it comes in? Or how its packed? Images would be great so I have an idea. As I live in an apartment I need to see if I will need to pick it up from the...

    Australia Fellow Aussies! Which hay and pellets do you feed?

    I feed these for my rabbits. The Nature-T pellets are however 100% made from hay. No additives, no preservatives basically just fortified timothy hay. The only all natural pellet I have found. I give my guinea pigs enough Vitamin C in their vegetables, fruits and daily intake to ensure the...

    New Zealand New Zealand Oxbow Club??

    Hi Kiwi!! I think its a great idea - however I have inquired back in 2006 (before oxbow was in Australia) about importing the products. I am not sure about NZ importation laws but in Australia I cannot buy any pellets, critical care or oxbow hay from overseas. Even though the products are...

    Hay Hay in AUSTRALIA?

    Hi, I feed my guinea pigs Meadow hay which is a type of grass hay. My pigs love it. Next best thing to Timothy which you cannot get here at all unless its shipped from the USA. Do you have any local horse produce or feed stores near you? They should be able to see if they can have it or at...

    Medications Need Help Fast Vet Has poisoned my Guinea Pig

    The vet I saw orally fed him CEPHALEXIN and gave 0.25 ml to him orally. I always look up all antibiotics given to my pets. And I discovered to my shock and dismay that the antibiotic she prescribed is in fact dangerous to guinea pigs and should never be prescribed. Please see: Guinea...

    I honestly had no idea that people do this....I never even imagined it was possible..

    One of Australia's main exports and sources of economic growth includes sheep, export of wool, cattle and dairy. In order for Australia to sustain these sources of income we have to maintain large areas for grazing. Kangaroos whilst a very large tourist attraction and international icon put...

    Won't Eat Veggies Not wanting veggies

    Another tip for getting picky piglets to eat their veggies is: Sprinking the veggies with fresh orange juice (simply squeeze the juice from a fresh slice of of orange) - do not use artificial juice etc. This will make the veggies smell and have a slight taste of fruit making them seem more...
