    Cage Let's write cage reviews on amazon!

    Hey! I have recently started writing reviews on all those far too small cages sold on amazon. I usually write that the cage is too small, and that people should build a c&c cage, or at least buy a midwest cage. Maybe it'll get some people to buy or build a larger cage, who knows? Anybody care...

    C&C Alternatives My new cage

    (broken link removed) (broken link removed) (broken link removed) I did this a while ago and thought I'd show you the results. It measures 172 square feet, sits on three inches of insulation from the ground and houses five piggies. They love to run through the tunnels, or just relax in them...

    Behavior My pigs always pee and poop on my boyfriend!

    Whenever it's lap time, my boyfriend also takes a pig, keeps it for a few minutes, then we switch. We have five pigs. I have rarely ever been peed upon by a pig, and never has one pooped on me. But my boyfriend gets the full load almost every single time! What gives? Today he held three pigs...

    Behavior Guinea pigs aren't racists, are they?

    Hi! I have a very big cage and three teddy guinea pigs, one male, two female. Last week, I adopted an aby (that had been abandoned by the roadside and brought to the rescue), and two days later another teddy. Both additions are still babies and are girls. When I let the aby join the group, they...

    Veg*n U.S. chain restaurants offering vegetarian dishes

    I live in Switzerland, but spend quite some time in the U.S., traveling. Whenever I am there, I find it pretty hard to get decent vegetarian food. But maybe I just don't know where to look. Could you give me some tips? The Cheesecake Factory has quite a selection of veg entrees, as does Olive...

    Frustrated Venting: Six pregnant sows abandoned

    I am about to adopt two adorable baby girls. Their mother was abandoned when she was pregnant, together with five other pregnant sows. The box they were found in was only about double the size of a shoe box. It happened right before vacation time, so I figure the owners probably went on vacation...

    Size From 55sf to 160sf cage and back?

    Hi there! During summer, I keep my piggies in a very safe and nicely structured outside cage. I have five pigs and the cage measures 55 square feet. I want to take them into the house for winter. Usually I don't have this much space inside, but this winter my pigs will be lucky, since I'll have...

    Dominance Good YouTube video about dominance and fighting

    I just found this clip online, and I think it's a really good one about female dominance behavior.

    Fleece Different fleece - different behavior?

    Hi there! I'm about to buy new fleece. Does it matter to the pigs what kind of color or print it is? Do they behave differently on bright colors than on bland colors?

    Behavior Silly question about guinea pig life in the wild

    Whenever I clean the cage and see how the pigs seemingly just pee and poop wherever they are, I wonder how the wild guinea pigs do it. I understand they live in small burrows and caves and run around looking for food around dawn and dusk. Don't they pee and poop in their hiding places, like the...

    Hello! (Pictures!)

    Hi! I'm active in a forum in Switzerland and only just discovered this one today. Since I have a special relationship with the U.S., I was very happy to discover it. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that in the U.S., fleece bedding for guinea pigs is not as unusual as in Switzerland. It's...
