It has been awhile since I've been on here, but I thought I'd drop by and see how everyone is doing. :) I hope you and your piggies are all well! To give a bit of an update on my end, a lot has happened since I was last on here. (I apologize in advance for the really long post!) The owners of...

George's weight has been out of control lately, and I have no idea why. This is what his weight has been like lately: 5-13: 1,341 6-3: 1,273 (68 g. loss) 6-4: 1,315 (42 g. gain) 6-11: 1,316 6-15: 1,247 (69 g. loss) 6-20: 1,280 (33 g. gain) 6-24: 1,237 (43 g. loss) 6-26: 1,255 (18 g. gain)...

I get KMS pellets for my pigs and the rescue i work with was considering getting some for the pigs at the rescue. We were wondering if the chinchillas could also eat KMS pellets. I know that chins can have good quality rabbit pellets, but I've read a lot of conflicting information on whether or...

According to the nutrition chart radishes should only be fed once or twice a month, but what about radish greens? How often can they be fed and more importantly, for me anyways, what is the calcium content?

So at the rescue we have a pair of females named Moo and Reese. I was looking Moo over and noticed she had a line of fur loss on her nose, with the skin being scaly/bumpy in the area. Since i had a problem like this with my boy Rigby, my first thought was that it's a fungal infection. Her cage...

Hi everyone! The rescue I volunteer at is doing an online "Flower Power" fundraiser to help raise money for all of the buns, pigs, and chinchillas. So far they've only raised $44 out of their goal of $1000, so I was hoping maybe some of you would like to help. :) How it works: Go to (broken...

Sorry that this isn't about pigs. Yesterday we had to rush my boyfriends brothers' dog (a shih tzu) to the vet because her eye popped out of socket. We aren't sure how it happened, though we think she may have gotten her head stuck between the bars of a baby gate that we have separating the...

So this is my first time using uhaul pads and I'm a bit concerned. I got the recycled denim kind and just did the first prewash. Not sure if this is normal, but the water was blue while they were washing. When they were done washing, little clumps had come off of the pads. Is that normal...

As some of you may know, I really had my heart set on adopting two boys from the rescue i volunteer at. Well, I won't be adopting them, but I will be fostering them until they get adopted. I talked it over with my boyfriends' mom and she's completely fine with just fostering them. I'll be making...

I have never heard of this before and quite honestly don't believe it. I've been talking to some piggy people on a FB group, and one of the people's pigs has head tilt. She took him to the vet and the vet diagnosed it as a URI. I commented saying that head tilt is not a symptom of an Upper...

A friend recently adopted a pregnant pig and she has since had the babies. They're about a week and a half old now. Recently she noticed mushy poos in the cage. Someone told her it could be that the mom who had babies is producing excess milk, and as a protection, is excreting the excess milk...

The rescue I volunteer at has 2 females piggies, Moo and Reese, that live together. Recently we've noticed that Moo has been giving up her food to Reese without being bullied away from it. We put their food bowls on opposite sides of the cage, and Moo is always reluctant to start eating...

George has a small scratch under his eye. It's very small and doesn't appear to be infected or anything, but I was wondering if I would need to take him to the vet for it or if there's something I can do to make sure it doesn't get infected? I have A&D ointment and maybe some neosporin, but was...

I’m considering getting another pair of boys - the rescue i volunteer at just took in 4 pigs- and was wondering if it’s a lot more work and if I should even consider getting them at all? I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the pair of boys.. One is a white crested named Casper and the other is a...

As the title says, I'll be very temporarily taking in a rabbit tomorrow. I have no idea how big or small this rabbit is and will only be keeping it for several hours until my friends at a rabbit rescue can come pick it up. I have some extra grids, but not enough to make it high enough for the...

I was just on Tumblr and came across this great post on how to help stray cats stay protected from the harsh winter weather. The basic idea is you take a 30 gallon plastic tote and cut a hole wide enough for a cat to fit through into one of the shorter sides. Then you insert a Styrofoam cooler...

Hey guys, for a while now I've been trying to find a place that sells relatively cheap coroplast in my area. To my luck, I finally found a place! https://www.downriverplastics.com/ I just picked up a 4' x 8' piece of coro from them for $18! Just thought I'd let all you other Michiganders know in...

George seems to be really jealous when it comes to me giving Rigby attention. For example, they'll both come up to the cage and wait to be petted, and when i go to pet them George will basically bully Rigby away from me by either chasing him or mounting him until he goes away. A couple of times...

I was at Dollar General and they had this two pack roll out veggies thing for sale. It comes with Grand Rapids lettuce and Straight Eight Cucumbers. I've never heard of either, so if someone could tell me whether or not they're okay to feed I would appreciate it! Also, if anyone knows the...

I was looking into getting the Just for Boars shampoo that Gorgeous Guineas makes, but wasn't completely sure if it's safe or not. (broken link removed) It says it has a combination of Sandalwood and Cedarwood. Would that be harmful to them at all? I know they're highly recommended here, so I...
