    Conditions Painful Poopin

    So my sow, Snowball, who is about 1 year old just started making this whining noise when she was going to the bathroom this morning. I think its when she is pooping because that is what came out after making this strange wheeking noise. She sounded in pain. Now I know that if she was peeing that...

    Can pigs travel?

    I have four piggies (2 female and 2 male). There is the possibility that I might have to move from CA to MA if I can't change my current problems in CA. I love my pigs like they are my children. I don't know what to do! I don't want to give them up but I don't want them to die in travel. Is it...

    Pellets True Newbie Question...

    I get my Oxbow products from Pet Food Express, because my Petco and Petsmart don't sell it. I recently changed my pellets over to Kleen Mamas pellets that you order online like said above which are a step up from Oxbow products. But I wouldn't feed your pigs Petco products because they are not...

    General Baby pictures, and LOTS of questions about raising a baby pig!

    If you can lower the water bottle soon. The mother will teach him how to drink from it. Probably now the pup is just feeding off the mom and eating hay and possibly pellets. But the mom should be the main source of food. Try to keep an eye on them to make sure she is feeding. Also offer veggies...

    Pregnancy My "male" guinea pig might be pregnant?!

    Sammiec4 you just made me laugh so hard! My first pig was from Petco and I didn't know she was pregnant either till I heard a loud squeek and then I jumped to her cage and saw a dark object under her white tummy. I freaked out and said omg there is a mouse in her cage! My bf who was gaming on...

    Howdy Folks!

    Welcome and Howdy! Well said Kathlaaron! I found it difficult at times to understand all their sounds but over time it's like you learn to speak guinea pig. Working on a bonding experience is the greatest thing. Once your pig starts showing affection and enjoys your company you will feel a sense...

    Eyes/Non-crusty Likely Pea Eye

    So $96 later, Teddy Bear does not have Pea eye, she has a type of bacterial problem that has begun in her eye. Her lungs are clear and nothing else wrong yet, so I'm just treating her eye with ointment and keeping a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't start sneezing or have any discharge...

    Eyes/Non-crusty Likely Pea Eye

    Hi all, So yesterday I notice my 4 month old pig's right eye looks watery and droopy. Today it looks the same and I talked to my friend at a gp rescue who confirmed my worry. I checked for hay and put some ointment in her eye just in case, but no visible hay. I'm guessing its just genetics. Her...

    Bonding Introducing a 3rd baby male...

    When you introduce them again make it in floor time if you didn't already and put a huge amount of veggies in front of them that can help with bonding. But definately make sure it's a smell neutral area aka no marked scents like in their cage. You can also try introducing the new pig to just one...

    Cage Two level 3 by 5

    What if you did a 4x4 on the top for the 6 females and then on the bottom two cages of 2x4 to separate the boys. I think I did the math right. Sorry just trying to Help.
