    Megabeast 5/14/05-6/11/12

    Ly and all that know me. I just wanted to post to say that Megabeast passed away a few hours ago in her sleep. She was born to Ly&Pigs' Chatty and Teddy on May 14, 2005 (after an accidental rendezvous). She traveled from Arkansas all the way to New Orleans to live with me. She went with my...

    Cage Building a new cage

    The cage in the post above mine is the stuff I wanted to recommend. It's called hardware cloth. It's welded, sturdy, wire mesh (1cm sq holes). It is easy to see in and out of and tends not to discolor or have the potential of breaking like chicken wire does. Plexiglass will look great at first...

    Gone but will never be forgotten

    I'm terribly sorry Ly. Meg sends you kisses. She's still going strong and still manages to get the zoomies, even at her age.

    Rabbits I need some help please!

    Rabbits can be carriers of both Bordetella and Pasteurella without showing any symptoms and they can even give false negatives if tested for the diseases. Both of these diseases are usually fatal to guinea pigs. Therefore, the less direct contact between them the better.

    Rabbits I need some help please!

    They can be in the same room but they should not be able to touch nor should she share water bottles or feeding dishes. I have my GPs above my rabbit cage. That avoids any accidental contact.

    Cage Modifying pet store cage. Will it be large enough? Opinions please.

    Technically it's still not big enough no matter how many levels you ad to it. Upper levels don't allow a GP to really stretch out and run and explore and some simply don't like upper levels. There is simply no substitution for a large C&C cage. Perhaps, you can do more research and approach...

    Turtles Need help with turtle

    It can have cat food occationally. It's a little to rich for everyday feeding. You can feed it cat food once a week. You can use wet or dry. The dry food should be soaked first to soften it. The wet food should be high quality with actual pieces of chicken or fish in it. If the cage gets at...

    Turtles Need help with turtle

    - What kinds of vegetables that good for turtle? How much should I give him? They can eat pretty much the same stuff you would feed a GP. Mine get leafy greens, shredded carrot, melon, dandelion greens, green pea pods, etc. Cut it up well into small bites to avoid them picking out just the good...

    C&C Alternatives Wooden/Cardboard Cage

    All types of plywood, particle board and MDF contain harmful glues and chemicals. They also, like all woods, also absorb moisture and become a breeding ground for bacteria, molds and fungi. They should not be used without being aired-out/aged (to remove all surface fumes) and fully covered to...

    Vegetables What does one cup of vegetables look like?

    Ramekins come in different sizes so I can't be certain.

    Vegetables What does one cup of vegetables look like?

    A cup of veggies would fill an 8oz drinking glass and is pretty close to a handful with fingers partially closed.

    Eyes/Non-crusty question about my girls eye

    Most likely she scratched it on a bit of bedding or hay. Keep a watch on it. If the discharge goes away it was likely very minor and has healed on it's own. If the discharge continues and/or if her eye appears irritated or she's blinking a lot or if she starts showing discharge in the other eye...

    Pet Stores First Thoughts

    A sticky is a thread or post that has been "stuck" to the top of the listing. If you go to just about any forum section you will see some posts at the top that never move. They are stuck there so they are always easy to find. Often stuck threads cannot be responded to.
