Hi all, I'm moving on the 31st, and have a lot of supplies that I cannot move with me. I have LOTS of cubes, and also a large sheet of coroplast. I also have a small pet store cage, and some water bottles. Is there anyone in the Richmond, VA area who wants it?

Came across this Craigslist ad today. I'm not going to post it, because it's nothing that needs to be flagged, but here is what it says: "Young guinea pig in need of new home that has the time to care for him. We haven't had the little guy long but he has started scratching behind his left...

I'm wondering if there is any correlation between the length of a pig's feet and its weight. My biggest pig weighs 1250g and his feet are 1.75 inches long. My smallest pig is 900g and his feet are 1.5in long. I have one pig who has huge feet- 2in long. He is young and still growing. He weighs...

I've been in DC for the past days, and of course I had to go visit the small mammal house at the National Zoo. They have several habitats of rock cavies there, and they are so much like domestic guinea pigs! I watched one cavy barber another, and then poke and bite the others rear. The victim...

I found an ad on Craigslist yesterday from some searching for rabbit poop to put into their compost for their newly organic garden. I replied, and he said he'd be delighted to have bags of guinea pig poop. So, today I get to bag up all their poop and soiled hay instead of throw it away. My...

Now that there are 5 piggies living in this apartment, we needed a bigger cage and a better place to put it....so we built a cage under the loft bed! Here is my boyfriend modeling with the materials we used: And the cage! He told me to say that he did most of the work.......but I did do...

For the past 4 days or so, my piggy Chester has been very grouchy. He would chatter every time someone came close to him. He also stopped coming up to us to beg for food. Well, last night me and my friend rearranged the tunnels and boxes I have on the floor. (The guinea pigs have been free range...

What happens when you have a bit too much free time and a box cutter? This.... Andddd a action shot [video=youtube;fzGSJFBnDU4] And now it's nap time.

I have two litter boxes in my cage that I change out everyday. I put aspen in them, but I'm almost out. I have a bale of hay, would that work in a litter box? I don't think it'd absorb much, but since I change them everyday, would that be a problem? I'd just worried they'd try to eat...

I moved into a new apartment last Friday, and it was a mess! It hadn't gotten cleaned at all. So, instead of moving my stuff in and building a cage as planned, I had to shampoo the carpets and patiently wait for them to dry. The piggies and I stayed the weekend at my friends, and they had to...

Apparently PETA put a sandwich from Strange Matter in Richmond, VA, on their list of Top 5 vegan sandwiches. My former housemate actually owns this restaurant. So, if you ever find yourself in Richmond, you should come eat a sandwich with me. PETA's Top Five Vegan Sandwiches | PETA.org

Throughout my life, every time I've talked to my mother about the possibility of having a rabbit as a pet, she would tell me that they made terrible pets. Apparently, when I was little, another little girl in my neighborhood, Hannah, had a pet rabbit. Apparently, it wasn't friendly, it bit, and...

I bought my guinea pigs a bag of Oxbow pellets at the fancy petfood supermarket today. I just fed them dinner, and I mixed some of the Kaytee with the Oxbow as recommended, and my pig picked out all the Oxbow pellets and didn't eat any of the Kaytee. lol I tried some of the Oxbow and it does in...

This morning I went in to feed my pigs, and one of them came out for food like normal, but the other one didn't come out of his hidey. So I peeked in and saw him lying down, so I nudged him. He didn't move! And then the other pig ran into the cubby and still he did not move! I completely freaked...

I move to my new apartment in 1 week exactly! However, it's a two hour drive away and it's the middle of summer, which means 95+ temps. How do I go about driving my guinea pigs without harming them? Is there a certain way I have to do the AC?

I'm moving to my new apartment in less than two weeks, and my guinea pigs live in a spare bedroom at the moment, because my mom has two dogs. I'm positive one of the dogs would eat them, so I have the hallway to that room blocked off with boxes, and the only way you can get in is to go into...

Hi! I adopted two guinea pigs last week from my local animal shelter, and I am very excited to be taking care of them! Their names are Chester and Winston. Chester is named after a patriotic song written during the Revolutionary War by William Billings. Winston's name is far less regal. I had a...
