Hi. I haven't been on this site for a few years since my piggies passed away but I'm back to see if anyone has any good sites/forums for hedgehogs. A local person has chosen me to rehome her hedgehog to after a friend told her about me and she checked out my fb page. She said lots of people were...

Fate once again brought a guinea pig into my life. A fb friend of mine posted a guinea pig and accessories for free and said she was going to be dropping him off at the shelter the next morning if no one came to get him. She "rescued" him from Petland, has young children and one turned out...

The last few months have sucked for me... I got laid off in Jan, my Grandfather passed in mid April, my Mom passed in mid May and a great uncle passed in June. I have had depression for more then half my life and this was all too much and the care of my animals among many other things fell...

Errrrr... So yesterday my oldest male passed away and today I decided as a treat I would take the guinea pigs outside. When the females were out I was sitting by the pen and in the sunlight I noticed something on the youngest one... tiny white egg-like things on the tips of her black furs(it's...

Atticus, my first guinea pig, passed away today. This morning he was fine and ate his veggies before I left for work, and this afternoon after getting home from work I went in to feed the piggies and he was laying on his side, already passed. It had looked like his cage mate Cinnamon had groomed...

So today I flipped over my baby guinea pig(now 4 weeks old) to make sure she is a girl, and to my horror I saw white spots in the hair around her nipples and belly button and then I saw (what appears to be) an adult louse in her fur. Then I flipped over the mom and her belly was full of white...

I did my pets' photo shoot today... it was not as fun as I thought it would be. haha  It might have been easier if my husband was home to help.  The dogs hate wearing hats and didn't want to sit still(or upright because of the hats).  The cats wanted nothing to do with being dressed up or posed...

This morning I weighed my new pigs Dahlia and Elvis and I was wondering how old they might be. I tried looking at charts online but all had different numbers or just didn't make sense. :crazy: Dahlia is 390g and Elvis is 920g.

I have been looking for female guinea pigs for a while now and since there are no shelters in my area, couldn't find any guinea pig rescues and the Humane Society in the city a couple hours away rarely has pigs(and when they do they go fast and they don't hold) I have been looking at online ads...

So today was the first time I used a sewing machine in about 6-7 years and I made 2 Cozy bags for my guinea pigs. I used "fun fur" for the inside and I don't know what kind of material on the outside. My mother sewed everything when I was young, I used to sew often when I was in school, and love...

I have always dreaded the day I would have to write one of these and now the time has come. This evening my second oldest guinea pig, Baby Boo, passed away with his young buddy Cinnamon right by his side. His cage mate for 5 years, Atticus, was too busy eating to give a last snuggle. I had...

My youngest male had this soft lump on his side that I think is a lipoma(it felt just like the one my husband has on his head), it wasn't very large and didn't seem to be hurting him, so I didn't think it was something to get to worried about. I will admit that I don't play or cuddle with the...

I finally found someone selling square bales of hay that wasn't 2 hours away or I had to buy 50+ bales!! My dad who lives less then 10 miles away from the farmer went and paid him today and we pick them up tomorrow. We are getting 6, three foot bales(approx. 50lbs each) of timothy/orchard...

I often spend time on Yahoo Answers, I came across this question tonight and I was wondering what everyone here would answer. (this is copy and paste from the site) Can my guinea pigs eat horse feed? I have 6 guinea pigs and when i had rabbits i fed them 14% dry pelleted horse feed. Can i...

I was e-mailing a person that had a ad up on Kijiji for mixed hay bales for sale. I asked her what kind of mixed hay it was and she said it "consists of broom grass, timothy, a little alfalfa." Is there such a thing as "broom" grass or do you think she meant brome grass? And if there is such a...

Is it alright to just feed guinea pigs unlimited timothy/alfalfa hay mix and fresh veggies daily and no pellets? I've been looking around for months now to buy a small bale of hay instead of paying an arm and a leg for a bag of hay, for a couple weeks worth at the store. Today I found an ad...
