    Grooming Ol' Shaggy and me need your advice?

    I can post pics here soon, so be ready for an update. Now, my friend when she rescued him (from a 2x5 cage with 2 other males and a female!) that he was a year old. We don't believe them one bit! He's got old man signs lol lipoma (I believe is what it is called?), he's got sure cataracts in one...

    Lump Shaggy's ordeal

    we found a pea sized lump (it moves, somewhat soft but similar to a wart) beside his right ear. Now before I asked about his eyes, one is cloudy in the light.... we were told he is a year old but we definitely doubt it now! He has got so many signs of being an old piggy :/ I am taking him into...

    Find Me Somebody to Love! (Edmonton, Alberta, CAN)

    Story: I was found on the 12th of March, in a small cage beside the dumpster during the bitter cold morning! My savior heard my cries and took me in. Unfortunately, she knew nothing of guinea pigs, has one full time job, one part time job, college, and an allergic roommate! So she put a "Help!"...

    Conditions Cataracts in a "young" guinea? And curly toenails!

    My friend had rescued 2 of 4 guinea pigs from a couple who were going to euthanise (or sell off as snake food) the guineas because of "allergies" *cough*theydidn'twantthem*cough* >.> Anyways, I took her sweet mellow boy that I named Shaggy. He is very very good, good with noise, people, walking...

    Bonding How to handle a Skinny Pig??

    I own a male skinny pig, named Oliver. Now, with any other guinea pig I have handled or owned (the furry type :3) once you are holding them they tend to either: want to explore therefore will squirm, or, sit still and you can pet them no problem. Now, he doesn't squirm, but he "twitches" or...

    General One of my guineas gave birth!

    I had gotten a call from my friend who was looking after my guineas until March 2nd... She sounded panicked and I thought one of them died! Then she says, when she went to the cage there were FOUR NOT THREE guineas! She says she is pretty certain it is Honey's, but Ginger is walking funny. She...

    General Making a cage and need some advice on wood types (NOT C&C cage!)

    I got chicken wire already, and plant to make a huge cage. There are no C&C grids near me and I am not spending hundreds to ship it lol! :) So, I still plan on making my own. I intend to make it really large... more than enough space for 2-3 guinea pigs! :) Preferably in removeable sections if I...

    Sick Creature may have kidney failure

    I asked the vet about how much it would cost. He was going to send me to a different vet out of town, but not only do I lack a ride, it would cost so much more... I have to pay 70.00 just for Creature, now. He asked what was wrong, and so I told him about her pinkish urine, her weight problem...

    General How to tell if a piggy is pregnant?

    Now please note I do not breed them. The two adopted ones, I have no clue if they had been housed with males... I did double check and make sure they are both females - and yes, they are :) I have noticed with Creature, she is nippy if I touch her belly or sides... However she is very thin, with...

    Aggression 3 guineas - one bully

    So, I can post you links to youtube for the first introduction Honey had individually to the other two guineas. Her and Panda got along SO well for their first time. Later on they both were popcorning and playing, and shared an alfalfa block together. However, Creature was "okay" with Honey the...

    Photos My guinea pigs!!

    The white one with a black ear is my cutey Honey, about 2 months old. After bathing Creature (the ginger/white) I let them get introduced. I have to take in Creature because she is in some pain (i.e. her hip, beside her spine, etc, probably from being underweight), and even has a rash which I...

    Weight New Guinea Pigs, SERIOUS questions...

    1. I noticed the brown and white one (now named Creature by my roomie), was the friendliest. I was able to hold her, and she was very calm :) Unfortunately I found a "bad spot"... Near her spine, moving towards her belly it's very tender. She turned her head, and I knew I was causing her...

    Chewing Honey grinds her teeth...

    I notice that although I have given her lots to chew on (apple sticks, cardboard, wood sticks, alfalfa blocks, etc) she's began to grind her teeth? I am getting more hay today - timothy hay, to see if it helps. She has been trying to chew anything and everything, including me x.x She is only 2...

    New pig owner here :)

    I'm fairly new to owning guineas. I started out with Honey, who is 2 months old, and the store (yes...I know...store. never again.) gave me pine bedding with her - I found out she is terribly allergic to it, her eye lid swelled, eye was red and watery, and she was always sneezing. Now she is...
