    Bonding What am I doing wrong?

    Anything else you noticed? How is her weight? Does she scratch or anything? I hope it is not mites or smth else that might be hurting her.

    Infection Red/irritated nipple?

    My piggy did have a mammary tumor removed and it grew like in a matter of a week, so super fast in our case. But it looked a bit swollen/lumpy, felt warm to touch, but there was no discharge. It was early stage. Just monitor it to make sure it is not perhaps an irritation or just a natural...

    Media Guys with guinea pigs?

    That's funny, but I concur! My husband gets very involved with our boys too. He cleans the cage and all, I am in charge of handling the fleece, he feeds them too, cuddles w them etc, no shame here :) theguineapigguy, I attached you some photos, one is older, when my husband holds one of the...

    Fleece Fleece flippers? How do you go about washing?

    I usually prefer a more gentle cycle. There's nothing but pee after all, that once soaked, comes out. Also I might add some vinegar even to the detergent area, if I have tougher stains (like tomatoes) and it just takes care of them. I think the normal cycle is a bit too rough, but that's just a...

    Fleece Fleece flippers? How do you go about washing?

    Oh I see. Yes, you take out the coroplast sheet, basically you slide it out. The uhaul pads also slide out of the fleece, constructed as a tight pillow case. You will probably have some hay from the piggies and some stuck poo or food (mine tend to be messier sometimes), even if you spot clean...

    Fleece Fleece flippers? How do you go about washing?

    Well how experienced are you with fleece? If you look at the videos, they have a coroplast that keeps them as "flippers" and it's removable, and inside is just uhaul cut to size, and the fleece is like a pillow case. Just take them apart, clean the hay/poopers/whatever, and wash them normally...

    Fleece New fleece, also explanation for sewn liners

    How does velcro act when washing the fleece, doesn't it get stuck with pieces of hair and material?

    Joy You know you've been pigged when.....

    Joy You know you've been pigged when.....

    I could use a game... You know you've been pigged when your veggie intake diet has changed for life. You know you've been pigged when your dinning table area has been totally donated to your C&C cage. You know you've been pigged when you spent a fortune for a smart vacuum cleaner to help pick...

    If you sew them together, on a long run, don't they have different levels of shrinkage?

    Mites I can't beat these mites!

    You really need to find out what it is before you treat with anything. So is it lice, is it mange mites, other?

    Behavior Constantly knocking over food bowl

    Same issue. I switched to a very low margin ceramic bowl and he doesn't do that anymore - probably there is not enough grabbing area or because the margins are thicker than the other one...who knows

    Mites I can't beat these mites!

    Is your vet an exotic pet vet? What type of mites do you mean, mange mites? If so, are those "shots" treated correctly with Ivermectin? What do you mean by finding mites on them? You cannot see them. The drug is active in their body for a while to kill them, so it takes several weeks to fully...
