    Built my new cage!

    But no photos yet! The computer is having, shall we say, issues and we've had to wipe the hard drive... twice. So, we don't have the photo editing program right now. I started taking it apart on Monday, the upper levels of the old cage at least. I ordered two navy blue sheets of coroplast then...

    Store? Need ideas

    Hi everyone! I'm thinking of yet another idea: creating an online store! I know this has been done before, and I don't want to step on anyone's toes who already have stores running. The money I make by selling will go towards purchasing materials for c & c cages for local humane societies...

    Project: Pet WAKK!

    As some of you may know, I'm doing a Girl Scout Gold Award project here in Minnesota. What I'm doing is getting donations of supplies for a local humane society. I am also going to distribute flyers and plastic bags in the community, asking for donations (with help, of course). Once these are...

    Veg*n Definitions

    I just did a bit of research. Hope this clears some of the confusion up: Pescetarian=no meat or poultry (still eat fish/seafood). Pollotarian=no meat (still eat poultry). Lacto-vegetarian=no meat, poultry, fish/seafood, or eggs (still eat dairy products). Ovo-vegetarian=no meat, poultry...

    Chatting?

    I was just wondering if anyone would like to chat. As in msn, yahoo, aim, etc. rather than just talking on the forums. Maybe this is a stupid idea, but I think it might be fun? If anyone's interested, I can give you my screen names. Thanks for your input!

    Veg*n Vegetarian

    I just went veggie, and it's been ten (full) days. It was sort of difficult convincing my dad that I was serious, as he thought it was just a phase, but I've kept with it! What made me change? Well, it wasn't spur-of-the-moment, exactly. I had been thinking about this for a few years, and I...

    Cages for humane society?

    I'm doing a project at a local humane society for girl scouts, collecting supplies, making starter kits with information on neutering/spaying (dogs/cats), nutrition, etc. (see www.angelfire.com/ultra/projectpetwakk for more info.) I was wondering, should I have people donate their old cages for...

    Ramp source!

    I finally found a place that sells just the plastic ramps and not just the cages with them. So, everyone who keeps asking how to get these, they're here: (broken link removed). (Just ignore the teeny cages and scroll down.) Just thought I should share. =)

    Should I add 3rd pig?

    I have been wondering about adding one more piggy to my two bonded boars. Do you think this is a good idea, and does older, younger, or the same age usually work better? I've heard all three, and am wondering what everyone here thinks. Also, does the third pig get treated as a "third wheel" at...

    broken links

    A couple broken links showed up on the HAY page. These were: Oxbow's Hay Storage Advice--should be (broken link removed) Seagull's Storing Hay--doesn't seem to be working on Seagull's main page either. Sorry, I know you are VERY busy, but I thought it'd be better to tell you than to leave the...

    Hay/CellSorb supplier near St. Paul, MN?

    I have been thinking about finding a feed store or something to that effect that would sell bales of hay. Does anyone know of someplace near St. Paul in Minnesota? Also, does anyone know somewhere that sells the bedding called "Cell-Sorb"? Thanks so much for all your help! =)

    Page numbers

    I look at the pictures quite a lot, and the one thing that bothers me is this. When you get done looking at a page of pictures, you have to go up to the top to get to the next page. If there is some way you could put a set of page numbers on the bottom of the gallery pages, I would be very...

They can order any color you want for free, it arrives the next day! If you go to their site, www.fastsigns.com, you have so many options to contact...

    Fur Mites

    My piggie had fur mites. I treated him myself with a mite spray that was marked as safe for cavies. I've sprayed him a LOT of times now. I think the mites are gone, and the spray really brought my other cavy back to health. Is this ok or am I really reducing their numbers only to have them still...
