I have four guinea pigs. One neutered boar, and 3 sows. I am currently working over 60 hours a week, and going to college part time, and I cannot give them the attention they deserve. :weepy: These guys are my babies, but its not fair to them. So if you're in the ohio area, and are EXPERIENCED...

So, The way I have my bedding set up is pee-pee pads on the bottom, and one layer of fleece on top. Just a little background. My guinea pigs are obsessed with pulling the fleece up, and eating the pee-pee pad underneath. HOW DO I STOP THIS?! They get plenty of pellet, veggies and hay. Its...

My sow Lucy is under a year old, and when I first got her, she would wheek just like everyone else. But now it seems like her wheek box is broken. She can still make sounds, but they are very deep sounding. Also, I rarely hear her complete a full wheek. Is this something to be concerned about?

Today, I went to Jacks Pet Aquarium just to check up on the animals. I usually do this about twice a month, and when I go in and I see something wrong, I cause a fuss. However, today was different, I saw a mother, and her 2 daughters walking around the store with a cart filled with bad guinea...

Have any of you picked up your pig and listened to their lungs? Is there a certain sound I should be hearing? When I listen to my pigs, I hear air going into the lungs. Is that a healthy sound, or should I not hear anything? Any help would be nice. On a side note: My guinea pig scarlette had...

Today, some drama went down at my house, and now I have to move out. Without going into great detail about it, I was accused of starving my 6month old niece. I would NEVER do anything to hurt a child, ever. So, my income (babysitting) has been cut off, and the place I'm moving to wont let me...

So, its been a day since my boars neuter, and he's doing great. He's eating, drinking, pooping & peeing. But hes REALLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYY active. I have him in a separate 1x2 to limit his movement while he heals, but he's jumping over his hay pile, trying to chew threw the bars, just being rowdy...

I'm adopting a neutered male, and he's comming home today. Any tips on post-op care? Should I keep him in a smaller enclosure?

I am adopting a neutered male, and a 1 year old female, to add on to my 2 females now. Of course I'm quarantining them for 3 weeks, just to make sure they are healthy. My question is, how many of you have had a successful introduction with a boar, with 3 females? Another question is: Will my...

Right now, my bedding is a layer of pee-pee pads, and a layer of fleece. However, I've noticed that if I dont clean the cage every 3-4 days, it seems that the pee-pee pads have absorbed all they can take. I'd like to do spot cleanings everyday as I am, but do major cleanings every friday...

Does any store carry JUST the cube connectors? I was a dumb-dumb, and threw out all my connectors, and now I only have enough to build a new stand, but not a new cage.

Does anyone know of any place in Columbus, Ohio where there are Cavy Savy vets? Thanks.

So, I've been trying to find more toys for my pigs since they are spoiled brats, and turn their nose up to anything home-made. I got a Crinkle Tunnel, and they love it! They sleep in it, run through it, popcorn in it. Just a suggestion to hard to please piggy owners. Crinkle Tunnels Rule!

What is the best cut of Timothy hay to buy? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd? Does this apply to other hays like orchard, or for that matter, grasses?

I have 2 sows named Scarlette, and Shirley. Both of them are around the same age. Nothing like this has ever happend untill lately. They bang their food bowls, and knock all the pellet everywhere, they wheek super-super loud constantly, and when drinking water, they try and kill...

I introduced my piggles 4 months ago with no issues what so ever. Now that has changed. Shirley is absolutely terrified of Scarlette. Shirley rumble struts, does this almost whimpering wheek, and runs from her every time they get close. Scarlette is always nipping at her. I have 2 of...

I just bought some and.... MY GUINEAS ARE OBSESSED WITH IT. haha, they've eaten a ton of it, and also have been running threw it and kind of tossing it up with their noses. I'm glad I got them this! Just thought I'd share my success of this particular hay. (Oxbow of course)

Can a piggie eat itself to death? Mine put so much lettuce and other things away I can't believe my eyes! Also, my pigs seem to pick threw their oxbow timothy hay and discard more than they eat.. I've also tried the oxbow orchard grass, but they do the same thing, any suggestions on a...
