It seems like I'm just having problem after problem with my two girls lately. Right now there are a few things I'm concerned about and am looking for some advice. For Panda the problem is that she's been rumbling a lot and keeps mounting Daisy. This has been going on for maybe a week now, she...

I just received my new batch of hay 3rd cut Timothy from KMS which I've ordered from multiple times before and it has always been perfect. However, this time it's a little different. It is extremely soft (and sort of limp) it feels more like grass than hay. It also doesn't have the really nice...

I can't find any places around here that sell hay! And I know there's a lot of farms in CT! Does anyone in this area know of somewhere to get it? I've been getting my hay online from Sweet Meadow Farms and there's 50% crap in it, if not more. I spend hours a day trying to get the actual hay out...

I've had a lot of trouble with hay since the beginning. I'm wondering where everyone else gets their hay and what their recommendations are? The problem I have is that there is too much 'not hay' in my hay. clover, weeds, twigs, crushed up hay powder, etc. It takes me 1+ hours just to sort...

I'm looking for some suggestions as to what vegetables to feed my girls. (Yes, I have the food chart-but I can't find much they like!) I'm talking about vegetables, not leafy greens (they like those). I like to pre-cut a few days vegetables so I'm not doing it every day, especially on work days...

So I've always found (and taken out) other plants that I find in my hay. There are the white clover flowers and then there are these hard, think stems that have always seemed dangerous. Well, my new batch of hay has A LOT of these, and not very much hay. I emailed the company and they told me...

One of my pigs bites the bars like crazy when she knows I'm about to give her food. I have a C&C and she's starting chewing them so much that she's actually chewed the coating completely off parts so that the metal bar is showing. I'm a little worried about her eating the pieces she chews off...

I just noticed a bunch of brown urine spray/spots on the white pvc pipe I have in their cage. I have read the 'normal urine' section on guinea pig lynx, I'm not sure if maybe it's just this "Very young guinea pigs often have an orange or brown tint to their urine." I don't know how old they are...

Daisy just did the cutest thing and I wanted to share it and see if anyone else has seen this happen! She spent at least five minutes going around the cage and rearranging everything and I was like, "What the heck is she doing?" And then all the sudden she stops and her and my other pig start...

One of pigs has been making a strange noise the past week. It only happened about 3 times in a week, but I've heard it again today 3 times. She makes this wheeze sound and it's like a timed 'wheeze..wheeze..wheeze' and then after a few or more of those, she makes this cough/sneeze/hiccup sound...

I've been trying to get an answer to this question for a while with no replies :/ I have two baby pigs that need to be moved into my old pet store cage within the next day or two as they'll be hitting the 3 week mark. I need to know if I will have to baby proof the cage, and if so...how the...

So I'm having a lot of trouble sexing the 6 pups I have...3 need to be separated by this weekend. I've looked at the photos on guineapiglynx a lot and the boys parts at 3 weeks seem to be very large and noticeable..and none of mine seem to have that. I think I'm applying pressure correctly, but...

So I bought two sows from a pet store that turned out to be pregnant, they had their babies 9/16 and 9/20. They both had 3 babies each so I now have to find homes for 6 guinea pigs :( I'm wondering what the best way would be to list them on the adoption site? I don't know the sexes yet (and am...

My piggie just delivered not to long ago. One of the babies came out all white, she/he seems to have normal eyes, can't see about the teeth yet, but she/he seems to have very weak back legs and is having trouble walking. She also does not seem to be being taken care of by the mom. She had all 3...

One of my girls finally had her babies! I woke up this morning around 9 (it is now almost 12) and there they were! I have just a few questions.. There are 3 babies and they all look healthy, appearance & they're running around just fine and everything. However, there are only 2 placenta(s?) in...

What is a safe hay rack for baby guinea pigs? And also, can I baby proof my cage by putting cardboard between the grids and the coroplast? I can't afford to buy more grids and double them up. And if I can't use the cardboard, what else could I use?

So I have girl two piggies right now. I believe they are both pregnant (one is pretty definite). You can see my other detailed post about that here: https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/pregnancy-babies/76994-general-pregnancy-questions.html#post671410 Anyway, I'm going to need a bigger cage...

So I have a bunch of pregnancy questions that I was hoping to get answered all in one post (and maybe help some other people searching through tons of threads). First a little bit about my situation...(This is all before I found this site.) I got two girl guinea pigs from a local pet store, I...

I've been stressing out lately because I don't know how old my piggies are. I have the oxbow adult pellets because I thought it was the safer bet. (I know adult piggies aren't supposed to have alfalfa, which I know are for younger piggies.) I've had them about 2 weeks now and if I need to switch...

So I'm still on my first bag of hay.. I bought Oxbow because I heard it was the best (or one of the best), but the problem is that my piggies aren't eating half of it! There are a lot of tougher, thicker pieces (stems?), like about half the bag it seems, that they will not eat. They pick through...
