    Sounds Chirping!!!

    I was reading in bed last night, and I hear something squeaking. And then I realized that one of the girls was CHIRPING! I didn't want to disturb them by turning the light on, so I'm not sure who was chirping. I was almost trembling, I was so excited! It only lasted for a few seconds, until I...

    Any Fellow New Englanders?

    Hello! I'm in NH, and just can't seem to find anybody else in my state, let alone area. Heck, I'll be happy if I find somebody at the border of Maine and Canada. I just feel so alone... If anybody is a fellow New Hampshireite, or New Englander? I was just curious so if I ever wanted to...

    Keeping Out a Kitten?

    I have a kitten, and I have a stand and top for my cage. But she likes to get on top of the hay bin, the top itself (which is fine) or the window sill to watch them. She'll also shove her paw in, (slaws sheathed) and try to "boop" the piggies. She's just curious, and has never even stuck out her...

    Sewing Business. How to Start One?

    I was thinking about starting a business in which I make guinea pig cage liners, cuddle cups, cuddle sacks, or anything else guinea pig related. I have no idea where to start, or if it's even practical. I want to make some money for vet costs, and when I get a car. Does anybody have any...

    How Are Your Pet's Typing Skills?

    This thread is for people who's pets feel the need to type. Even if you dump Fluffy on the keyboard, we want to know how good they are at typing. You might just find that typing lessons would be a good investment!!! Please do NOT force your pets to type. It's supposed to be cute, not cruel...

    Urine Blood in Urine~ What Should I Do?!

    I was cleaning the pigs cage, and had them on the bare Coroplast for a minute to keep them out of the way. I noticed that there was some pinky-red urine. I kinda thought, OK, that's weird... And cleaned it up. Later, I had them out for floor time, and I noticed it again. And there was a lot...

    Size How to Remodel? Help!

    I would like to upgrade my 3X3 to a 5X3. I should have enough cubes on hand but my playtime enclosure might lose a grid or 2. Anyways, I don't want to start from square 1, with a new piece of Coroplast, but I also REALLY want to use it. My parents are reluctant to spend $25 on a new piece of...

    Injury Umm. I'm Not a Bad Mommy, Right?

    Last night I had one of my girls, Emma, out for some laptime. She is very timid, and tries to run up my front if I ever have to walk around with her. She'll do the same thing when I try to put her in the cage. Anyways, she was trying to climb up my front, and as I was sitting down to put her...

    How to Keep a Grid Lid Up?!

    I am (hopefully) getting a cat, or maybe fostering kittens! I tried to make a lid for my 3X3, and when I tried to put it on, it sagged horribly. I have no idea how to make it work. What my plan was is to have it overlapping a teensy bit, and then have it fold onto the back 1/3of the cage, where...

    Fresh Food Is this OK for the piggers?

    Hello! I have a Spring Mix (with herbs) salad, and was wondering if everything in it was OK for the piggers. I'm terrible at figuring out what plants look like, and all that, so I'm going to list what's in it, and (hopefully) somebody can tell if something is bad! Here we go: Tango (?) Lolla...

    Water Best Idea Ever!!!

    I don't really know if this area is the best place for this kind of thing, but it seemed fitting. I have a great idea!! I have been reading about guinea pig care in an emergency, and was thinking about water, and water bottles. Would anybody buy the sipper tube part of the water bottle if it fit...

    Cage Guinea Pig Carrier Help!

    Hello! So last night, I was at Petco to get a cat carrier for my girls. (I know that pet stores are evil, but I really needed to) We had found the perfect carrier! Not too narrow, and not too short. It was the last one, and the tag AND the paper insert on the front were gone!! So we called over...

    Mites Do my Pigs have Mites?!?!

    I got my pigs about 2 weeks ago, and they were scratching a bit. It wasn't serious and I couldn't see any hair loss so I kind of thought that it was normal... But the scratching has gotten a fair amount worse over the past two days. I checked one of my pigs, Chloe, and she had a bald patch...

    General Strange White Stuff

    I cut out a pigsized hole in a shoe box last night. The piggers had fun throwing it up in the air, and hiding inside it while dragging it around. I decided that it was a bit too low for them to play in overnight, without supervision. So I flipped it upside down so it was a convertible. :) But...

    Behavior Conflicting guinea pig personalities!!!

    I recently (Saturday) got 2 guinea pigs off of Craigs List. In the beginning, they were scared witless, as I would be. One, Chloe, is now warming up to me, and will (grudgingly) get me pick her up and cuddle with her for a bit. But the other, Emma, is VERY timid! If my hand gets even anywhere...
