We finally got around to building our "dream" cage. Well, sort of, we're still adding odds and ends. But so far we're really happy with it. Our 2 piggies live upstairs (6'x2.5') and our 2 rabbits use the bottom 2 levels. The fleece is Velcro-ed to the cage all the way around. This keeps them...

I haven't been on this site in a while, but while I was gone I picked up some tips that I thought might help the piggy owners out there too. We've owned piggies much longer than we have our indoor rabbits, but we've picked up some strategies for keeping our cages clean since we got them. One...

15 months ago we drove an hour to this awesome feed store we had been told about and bought a 100lb bale of the most lovely, lush, green looking orchard hay. The piggies loved it! It lasted forever and was perfect until the last handful. This past weekend we drove up there again and bought...

We finally got Tuxedo a friend! We went to a gp rescue yesterday and tried Tux with 2 baby brothers. The first one was just like Tux as a baby. Strong willed and looking for trouble. That didn't work out. The other brother was much sweeter and they got along fine. We were lucky to find our bossy...

I'll share this video I made of Tuxie waiting for his his dinner, which he can hear being prepped in the kitchen. We call him our little smoke detector. Our other pig (who recently passed) hardly ever made a sound. I miss him... hehe! Tuxie calling for his dinner - YouTube

Dear Snickerdoodle, I can’t believe you’re really going. It feels like just yesterday when we found you under a blackberry bush in the state park. You were all dirty from the rain we’d been having, but you were your curious self, and that’s how the park ranger caught you. We said we would...

We will be sending our beloved Snickerdoodle over the rainbow bridge tomorrow. He's been living with a bladder stone, but the time has come. His friend gets frantic whenever we take him out of the cage, running up and down squeaking like crazy. He got depressed when Doodles was in the hospital...

So, as some of you know, we acquired a bunny 10 days ago. We have never picked her up. When she went to the vet he picked her up and she kicked wildly, trying to get away. He got her under control quickly and the vet tech put her in a trance so we could inspect her feet. The vet showed me how...

Hi bunny people, we are guinea pig people, but my husband's uncle is dying and he has a bunny that is his only "child"! Since we're the only pet people in the family we offered to take it in until he passes (so the bun can visit him and he knows it's safe) while in hospice at my MIL's house...

We're entering new territory as our Snickerdoodle is showing early signs of a returning bladder stone (he had surgery in July of last year), so we'll need to have him put to sleep in the coming weeks/months. His buddy doesn't do well without him so we'll need to adopt him a new friend. For those...

Hi everyone, I didn't know which topic to put this under, so it ended up here. Long story short: we moved in with my in laws this weekend, our lease was up and we're busy buying a house, so it's temporary.Our pigs used to be in our kitchen, but at my in laws they are in our room because they...

So, my poor pigger had bladder stone surgery 3 weeks ago. When he got home from the hospital I noticed that his front paw pads were swollen. The little cushions in the back were round as peas and red. I thought it might be related to his surgery and kept an eye on it. It stayed like that until I...

My pig had a clump of hair stuck together the other day on his nose and the next day the whole clump of hair was missing. A few days later another clump was missing but this time it left a bloody spot. I worried that he may have been in a fight with his cage mate, but I saw no aggression between...

So, I guess this question is for everyone, but especially those who live in disaster prone areas. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have our occasional earthquakes. However, as most people know, we are waiting for our Big One. With all the things going on in the world I am getting...

I found this awesome hidey at a thrift store today, it was a tent model from Target or somewhere. The tent fabric is detachable, so I am going to sew a fleece tent for them to use while it's still cold, then use this one in the summer. It's SO cute! I was just going to post the pics in the...

We found a wonderful source for bales of hay in NorCal. I wanted to share but couldn't find a good "share my source" site, so please let me know if there are any. We live in Benicia and we couldn't find any good feed stores around here that sold halfway decent hay. So we branched out to horse...

Ok, back story, I have a large C&C in my kitchen. The grids are gray and the coro was from a campaign sign that I covered with adhesive vinyl to match my kitchen table, the fleece is also picked to match the kitchen colors as well as the pigloos that we have. In this picture the coro looks...

Tip Type Other Tip Title Hay Bale Storage Your Tip We live in a condo and needed a way to store and contain a bale in our tiny storage unit. We bought a giant 100lb bale and we put it in a (new) breathable christmas tree storage bag that zips up. This way we could cut one of the ties on the...

Anyone who looks back on my pictures will see we have done tiny toiletry bins, cat litter bins and boxes, trying to contain the hay and give them a little at a time. Each time I thought my idea was great, but I have finally come up with the perfect hay area. We bought a 100lb bale of lush...

I need some advice from people who store bales. We live in a condo with no garage, so we have 2 options to store a bale. 1. We can get one of these (Rubbermaid® XL Deck Box (5E39-00-OLVSS) - Storage Sheds - Ace Hardware) and store it on our patio which is exposed to the elements (being only sun...
