Hey all. Our guinea pig Rose started having blood in her urine and we noticed it Friday morning. Got her into the vet about 1 1/2 hours after we found it, and got antibiotics and Critical care, and acidophilus. I was curious as to when the blood in the urine usually stops with a UTI that is...
Hi all long time no post. I have a question about KMS. Has anyone ordered from them and have their order be delivered to someone else? This just happened to me, and I was wondering what I can expect as far as getting my order or money returned. Thanks!
Hey folks, KMS announced bluegrass is available for pre-sale. Look under New products. it is not listed under hay yet. Thought I would pass along the happy news.:D (broken link removed)
So lets say today was cage cleaning day. After everything is all clean and tidy do you put your dominate pig back in 1st?
I do and she has to check everything out, so then I get our other girl and put her back and our dominate one follows her around nipping at her bottom. I then put their...
Our short hair Rose has been shedding a lot. I do not think it is mites or anything else. She just naturally sheds a ton from all over. No bald patches or anything.
Anyone else have a pig that sheds a lot?
Guess I will have to brush her more. :o
So I ordered some cuddle beds from (broken link removed) (supporting a fellow forum member :D ) and at first my girls were scared of them. Finally last night they climbed in them and now we can not get them out, they LOVE them! (I will post pics soon).
Next we are going to get some caves and...
As the title says I have pneumonia (was diagnosed today). I am the main provider for our 2 pigs. Is it OK for me to continue to feed them etc...? I have been for the last couple of days thinking I just had a bad cold/cough. :guilty:
Thanks!
My 7 year old has to write a book for school and has chosen to do the ABC's of Guinea Pigs. I am hoping I can turn to you all for some help.
So far she has A is for Abyssinian. Abyssinian is a breed of guinea pig.
B is for boar. Which is another name for a boy guinea pig. C is for cavy. Cavy is...
So I have been on a mission to find grids and can't find them anywhere! There is only one store I have not tried yet and I will as soon as I make it out to where it is (like a 30 min drive for me). I have tried, Lowes, Walmart, and Office Depot; No one has them :weepy:.
If you (like me) have...
Today after I pick my daughter up from school we are switching the cage over to fleece. I am so excited. We decided to go with the UHaul pad underneath. We also got them new wood hideys and are going to take out the pigloos. I am anxious to see their reaction to their new bedding and homes...
So I was searching around on the net last night trying to see if there are any shelters in my area that have pigs. and I found this by doing a Google search https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/adoption/46699-need-rescue-florida.html . I contacted the one that is like a 20 min drive from me to...
So if you have a lice infestation and wooden accessories like hideys etc... do you have to get rid of them? I just treated my girls yesterday with Revolution and want to know the best way to disinfect their cage accessories. Can someone explain when or how to clean them or toss them?
Thanks so...
I have been looking for a site to purchase advantage from (not advantage II) and can not find one I feel comfortable ordering from. Looks like my girls still have lice or got reinfected. Does anyone know of a site YOU have used to purchase advantage, and safely treated your piggies?
So I just ordered for the 1st time KMS hay and pellets. I am so excited! I have been using Oxbow but after some consideration I decided to say to heck with the shipping cost and get try some of KMS for the girls.
Also I don't know if I mentioned it but they finally are in the C&C cage (2x5)...
Hey folks. Joann fabrics has their fleece on sale 30-40% off today. It ended up being about $6.30 a yard for what I chose. Home : Shop | Joann.com . Thought I would pass it on.
Edit: It might be regional but still worth a look.
Hi all. I am sure this is a well covered topic but I looked through the 1st 5 pages and cant find and answer. What is the general cost of neutering a boar? Just found out my daughters teacher is retiring and we want to offer to take the class guinea pig, but we have to females and I do not want...
So I was wondering what kind of hideys or pigloos you have used for your piggies? Where did you get them? I currently have just 1 extra large pigloo in our cage but am looking for different ideas and want to know what you folks think is best. :)
After much debating and weighing we decided to just order a C&C cage from Sue. We went with an xl cage w/o a loft (about 13 square feet) for our 2 piggies. I have been having a hard time finding coroplast in my are ( I'd have to drive over an hour a way to the 1 place I did find it) so ordering...
