Well I don't know too much about new introductions but if your baby piggy and Rose are getting along then that's a good sign. I would say it should be okay to put them in the smaller cage for a short period of time so long as you get the new cage up and running fairly soon. Just make sure you...

I know it probably doesn't help but my guinea pig had a very potent v-shape along his back and after inspection I found he had visible lice in his fur. It's worth taking a good look, but if you've noticed bleeding you probably would have noticed lice. You've probably established by now that...

@sillylittle Just to say, if you give their fur a trim (I have a Peruvian and I trim hers about once a month) and keep it just above floor length while keeping the back area a little shorter, they don't require much grooming. :) But I often find during lap time I end up grooming mine anyway as...

Great news! I love that warm feeling when you know your guinea pig has bonded well with you.

Thanks everyone, you've all been really helpful. :)

I wouldn't worry too much about them not using the ramp. I'm no guinea pig expert, but you haven't long had them and if they didn't have one before then they may be a little ramp-shy! :) Just a thought I'd like to share.

Ok, thank you very much! :)

Hi all, With my plans to build a 2x4 C+C cage, I have a question regarding the coroplast sides. (Apologies if I have missed a post on this: I have tried using the search tool but couldn't find anything that answered my question). Is there a recommended or minimum height on coroplast sides...

That's lovely. Can I ask about the stability of it like that with it supported by (8?) panels? Because I am planning on making a 4x2 which would give me 8 panels left over and something like this looks ideal. :D

I am in a similar position to you, @Sl and S. My guinea pigs are kept currently in an awful pet store cage and the only way I can get them indoors is for me to keep them in my bedroom as my parents flatly refuse to keep them anywhere else. (they're currently in the conservatory just for the...

I guess everyone's pretty much pointing out what I want to say, so I'll try and make this brief. I'm from the UK too and there are no local rescues near me. There are two local pet stores which do appear to treat their guinea pigs with care, however you can't say that what's going on behind the...

Thank you all for the great feedback! :)

Thank you both, no I didn't look there! I must've missed that bit. Thank you :D

Hi all, I'm planning on making a C+C cage for my two females, but what do you use as a bed, or bedroom, for your guinea pigs? I've been browsing the pictures in the galleries but I can't seem to get many ideas from those. Do you guys use things like snuggle sacs and cup beds? Or something more...

Thanks lissie, these are in fact the ones I had in mind as a backup. I might have to go with these after all!
