    I hate teeth.

    I just got back from the dentist, and all was great! Yay! I didn't even need a clean or advice! lol Plus I am 18 tomorrow and he said I can still see him as an nhs patient even though he is actually a private dentist - which is good as he knows how much I hate going and is nice to me! Now I...

    Allergies & Guinea Pigs - Question for everyone

    If your allergies are progressivly getting worse, I would say that it isn't a good idea to put your health at risk. If however they have levelled off and are now stable (not getting worse) I would say that you COULD have more pigs. I do however have a few concerns about them living outside as I...

    You do not need someone who sells pigs - they are breeders! You just want to ring around a few animal shelters and find out if they ever get piggies in!

    Oh, I also forgot to say. If you see some pigs in a shelter you like, often, a piggy train can be arranged. This is where someone collects the pigs, travels a distance with them and another person takes them, travels a distance and so on.

    That is the MINIMUM for two pigs, they need a lot of room to run around and popcorn. Petstore cages just are not big enough. 7.5sq. ft really isn't that big though, mine fits nicely in my room. There are lots of shelters around if you look in the phonebook you can ring around a few and see if...

    Please do not buy a guinea pig from a pet store! This supports the breeding industry which is cruel and irresponsible! There are lots of guinea pigs waiting for homes in shelters. Also piggies are social creatures and will be unhappy if they are alone, it is therefore best to get two pigs. Have...

    I would also read through the forum rules if you havn't already, since posting multiple threads asking the same question is not allowed. Have you got pigs already or are you interested in getting them? If you do have piggies, make sure you post some pics for us all to swoon over!

    No grass isn't an ok bedding since it isn't absorbant at all and will get smelly, wet and grubby very quickly and your piggies will eat the grass. Hay is slightly better but again isn't absorbant and will get smelly and dirty and will need to be changed out daily. Carefresh is good on absorbancy...

    Box of tissues (at least a couple) -- Aging sucks

    Aww what a sad story :(

    Do you clean guinea pigs teeth?

    Honestly I would get the older piggies, baby pigs are much more likely to get homes than older pigs. Whatever pigs you decide to get though, it's great that you are adopting! Good luck with your new piggies and we all look forward to pigtures!

    Veg*n This is so hard

    I had a dream similar to that last week. I have been veggie for 5 months. In my dream, there was a bit of chicken in the middle of the plate - just one bit of chicken on it's own. For some reason I tasted a tiny bit if the chicken and it was awful - really dry and horrible tasting:sick: . The...

    Scary experience

    I think most piggy oowners have cut into the quick during clipping time - I know I did once. I was scared too. Just make sure you keep the cage clean untill it heals, you should also consider getting some styptic powder from the chemist which will stop the bleeding quickly if you ever do it...

    Veg*n I'm going to try!

    Well every little helps, however you can't be partly vegan. The term vegan is used to describe someone who eats no animal flesh, animal by-products, produce or anything that involves an animal in anyway. Not wearing leather or eating honey etc. Even if you cut out milk you will still be a...
