    UK Cubes in the UK.....

    I got mine from Wayfair, but these ones from Reception Space are the cheapest I've found: https://www.receptionspace.co.uk/shop/magazine-racks/magazine-storage/wire-cube-rack.aspx The correx I got from Teacrate Packaging, it is only 2mm thick but it is fine, or it's cheap enough to double layer.

    Rabbits Neglected Rabbit! What do I do?!

    My buns have veggies everyday. They do not get diarrhea from being fed greens daily. In the wild, the vast majority, if not all, of a rabbit's diet would be fresh food. Fresh greens are an important part of rabbit's diets and they provide additional nutrients, as well as variety in the diet. It...

    Bathing yellow belly

    That doesn't sound like a good idea, dog shampoo is likely to be much too strong, especially a coat-brightener one. Sometimes even human baby shampoo is to strong for guinea pigs. It is better to be safe and buy a specially formulated guinea pig shampoo.

    We are Newbies too!

    I would seriously doubt they only sell males. The staff at PetSmart and the supplier will likely be less than adept at sexing. Thanks for checking.

    They are both so cute! As they came from PetSmart, please confirm that they are both the same sex. https://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm Pet stores are notorious for selling mis-sexed, sick and sometimes pregnant pigs.

    What breed? How do I know if I have a roan or dalmation guinea pig

    www.cavyspirit.com/breeding.htm Please read this article on why not to breed. As for your original question, any pig with white on them could be carrying the roan gene.

    Annoying chatroom toolbar visible on my tablet

    I had that, there was a little icon to the right of it that said 'hide this bar'. I clicked on it and it went away.

    Rabbits I know nothing about rabbits : (

    I've never really noticed a scent in either, to be honest. Maybe you just get used to it. All I really ever smell is hay and woodshavings. I suppose they both must have their own odour, but it's certainly not offensive. Sorry, that wasn't particularly helpful. :)

    Hi there! New member here!

    Alternatively, when you go to post a reply, look at the top of the box for a little icon that looks like a tree in a frame. Click on that and it'll let you add a picture you already have saved to your computer, phone etc.

    Rabbits I know nothing about rabbits : (

    I have rabbits! If you have any specific questions, just ask. :) In regards to your cage question, it depends on the rabbit, and whether or not you plan to have your bun(s) free ranging for a large amount of the day. The House Rabbit Society has a wealth of information about rabbit care. Some...

    Flags Breeder/reseller

    I flagged all of the ones that haven't been deleted by him. The problem is though that he is saying that he is 'rehoming' them. To someone who didn't know, it probably wouldn't be obvious that he is breeding them and giving them poor quality care.

    Nutrition Lettuce Trouble

    @Guineapigpro , please do not post advice that you are not positive is correct. Unfortunately, that is a very common misconception about guinea pigs. Guinea pigs can eat all types of lettuce, but Iceberg is mainly water and has little to no nutritional value. Some good types of lettuces are...

    Crackers is already sexually mature. Male guinea pigs can impregnate females at 21 days old. It is not safe to have him with any unspayed females.
