    Sweet Dreams, my Dearest Joey

    It is with a horribly aching heart that I announce that my baby, Joey, passed away in his sleep on Tuesday night. He was just over 8 years old. He had his molars trimmed on Monday evening, and although he had started to recover well from the procedure, his little old body just wasn't able to...

    Not Eating Critical Care

    I am ordering some critical care for my boy who is refusing pellets (more details in my other thread). Any recommendations as to whether I should order fine grind, or just the original?

    Not Eating Off of Pellets and Hay

    Hi all, My boy Joey has stopped eating his pellets and hay (within the last 24-48 hours). It's as though he has just lost his appetite. He is also refusing most veggies (including lettuce) and when he does eat, it's slower and he consumes less. He is however quite happy to eat grass, and he...

    Behavior Bizarre behaviour?

    About half an hour ago, I went to get Joey, and he was laying down in his cuddle cup. Brought him out, cuddled him, etc. Put him back just now, and he waddled back over to the cozie and hopped in and started digging at it, and biting and pulling. I have never seen him do such a thing! I went...

    RIP Hickstead

    Not sure if there is already a thread on this, but just thought I'd put it out there. Early Sunday morning, Canada lost arguably the greatest equine athlete there ever will be. Hickstead, the 15 year old Dutch Warmblood stallion was walking out of the ring (at a major competition in Verona...

    Scratching Mites?

    Hi all! I haven't been on much lately, been very busy! I have noticed that Joey has been scratching a lot. I am not sure if it is more than usual or not. I have not been in contact with any animals with mites, and neither has he. He was out in the backyard for some grass a few times in the...

    Loss Newly single pig, changing things up a bit

    Hi all, As some of you may know, I very recently lost my Louie, leaving Joey alone. I have decided that I will not be getting him another buddy, because as much as I enjoy their company I will not be getting any more pigs for awhile. So, I thought that shaking things up and bringing a bit of...

    Guinea Pig Stuffy

    I remember reading a thread awhile back where someone had found a lady who made stuffed animal guinea pigs, based on the picture that you sent in. I would like to see if I can get something like that done to remember my Louie. If anyone remembers what I'm talking about and can give me the link...

    R.I.P dearest Louie

    My dearest Louie left us at 11:07 pm last evening. He was fine until about 9, and then things started to go downhill. I cuddled him for a good 45 mins while he was still holding up, but when I put him back, he flopped down where I placed him, and then struggled over to a corner to hide. I had my...

    Sick Something is seriously wrong with Louie

    Over the past few months, Louie (my older pig, he is coming close to 7 years old) has been dropping a bit of weight. He isn't as active, but the vet gave him a clean bill of health a few weeks ago, and I know that some of this is to be expected as he gets old. However, today things have gotten...

    Dominance Increased tension

    I have noticed in the past few weeks that things seem to be more tense between my two boys lately. 2 males living in a 2x5 c&c with a 2x1 kitchen, doubles of everything. NOTHING has changed within the cage, they were moved up from the basement to the living room as we are redoing the basement...

    Has anyone else noticed

    That this website is slower to load/gets stuck more often than others? I know it's not my laptop and the other sites I go on don't have this problem. Has anyone else been experiencing the same thing?

    Veg*n Be careful with ice cream!

    Not sure how many of you are aware of this, but I was sure in for a shock in my science class this morning! Lower fat ice creams have a higher water content, and to prevent large water crystals from forming and making for some not as smooth ice cream, they add fish antifreeze proteins. The...

    Veg*n Oprah

    Did a show today (Tues, Feb 1st) about vegans/veganism. I taped it at 4 but I am sure you could find it time shifted. Neat show. I think they went into one of America's largest meat processing plants too if I'm not mistaken. Just thought I'd let you know! :)

    Veg*n Tips for being a successful vegetarian

    Feel free to add your own! *don't walk by/into McDonalds during your first week *if you can't see inside of it, cut it in half. I have had the unpleasant experience of biting into a quiche to find that it had ham in it. Mega yuck *if you order a half vegetarian half meat pizza make sure to be...

    Veg*n Mark Cosmetics

    Any idea if they are cruelty free/don't test on animals? Love the products and just want to make sure it is safe for me to use without supporting cruelty! Thanks

    Vegetables Lettuce mix

    This was bought this for the humans, everyone hated the parsley and cilantro in it. Thought I would give it to the pigs but don't recognize a few things in it. Is this safe for the pigs? I really hope so, otherwise it will be like $5 down the drain! Fresh Herb Salad Organic baby lettuces (red...

    Worst Day EVER, Stay strong my sweet dog

    On Saturday January 15th at roughly 8am I woke up to hear my mom screaming that Foster had been attacked and needed to get to a vet. I ran downstairs to find my little miniature schnauzer shaking like a leaf in the wind and bleeding on the floor. We rushed him to an emergency vet just a couple...

    Investigation of Petland

    Tonight on Animal Planet (keep in mind I am in canada and on eastern time) they are playing a show that investigates Petland, the largest puppy mill in the states. I am definitely taping it and I thought you guys would like the heads up too!

    What on earth?!

    For the past few days I couldn't go on the site at all- it said "security alert" and wouldn't let me past. This happened on two different computers! What was going on? Was I the only one?
