    Sick Head tilt & balance issues

    The past few days my husband and I have noticed something wrong with our Nibbles, he seemed to get a poke in the eye and his eye was red and irritated. The next day his eye was a little watery, but no longer pink and as irritated looking, and yesterday it looked perfect, reflective, normal as...

    Other Hampster went long without water :( PLEASE HELP

    Irresponsible, inexcuseable, I should have used my brain and known that from past experiences SOMETIMES when you fill the water bottle it doesn't always seal properly and the water can leak out. My heart stopped in my chest when I figured out he wasn't getting water (hence his desperate trys...

    Frustrated Can they catch our colds?

    My husband and I were sick for a few weeks, and our pigs share a room with us. I don't weigh them as we don't have a kitchen scale yet, I know this is a bad thing, but things have been very rough this year and every time we start getting caught up on finances something else falls through and...

    Dominance New friend being aggressive!

    So we got a new piggie over the weekend and he got along fine with the boys for a couple days, but last night he started getting really aggressive towards Nibbles, and obviously my husband and I are more concerned about the boys we had first, vs the adoptee. They have different sleeping...

    General I'm worried about Bibbles - head tilt

    I'm freaking out a little, which often times I do for no reason, just like when I freaked out over a month ago over the boys constant sneezing which turned out to be hay dust because the little buggers like to bury themselves in hay...But anyway, I just changed out their kitchen area, and I...

    Sounds Nibbles keeps making this REALLY odd sound

    I have heard a LOT of guinea pig noises and I did tons of research when I first got the boys, it's not like the chirping videos where the otehr piggies go into a trance, every time we open the door or even sit up he thinks its veggie time and he starts wheeking really loud, it's like, best way...

    Dominance Can dominance change from one pig to the other?

    Bibbles was the dominate one when we got the boys, then he got sick and had to go to the vet, he came back two weeks later and Nibbles took over dominance, Nibbles is considerably larger than Bibbles who was quite obviously the runt of the litter. Nibbles rumblestruts all over the place, and for...
