I got a new pig 3 weeks ago from a lady who phoned me(she got my number from a local rescue). The lady told me that Peggy had belonged to a man who abused her. A woman nearby took Peggy off the man but shortly afterwards she got evicted and couldn't take Peggy. Some children wanted to take her...

I wasn't sure where to put this thread really as its guinea pig related but more about my life really. The situation is this - An ex friend has decided to make trouble for me by calling the police and saying that I neglect my kids and starve them and that my pigs take up half the house and the...

Since I started using white Vetbed I noticed some blood staining. This has happened twice and each time I pick up all pigs and check all over for injuries and let them pee on me but there is no sign of anything. I'm wondering, do guinea pigs have periods? If not I'm at a loss as to what can be...

Just before Christmas I adopted two more guinea pigs called Scruffy and Dave. Dave is missing 3 nails off his back feet. I can't stop thinking about what awful things may have happened to him as he came from a school. My son tells me to stop worrying as whatever it was, its over now, but I can't...

I bought my pigs a bag of Excel Herbage (timothy hay with added marigold and dandelion) and Supa Forage Excel (pure dried grass). They seem to love both types and they're lovely green hays. I just wanted to check that its ok to free feed these. I've not been able to find any other really nice...

When I collected Flossie after surgery the vets had very kindly given her a sheet of Vetbed to come home with. She loves it and I'm very impressed with the softness and how it stays dry, so I want to get more for going under the hideys. Sometimes it can get wet under there but if I have a lot of...

I have at least 30 animals buried in my back garden. Mostly guinea pigs as well as 5 hamsters, 7 rabbits and 1 dog. They're not all my companions. I brought home at least 10 from the rescue to bury as they were unable to dispose of the bodies in an adequate way. I've ran out of space so have...

I lost my beautiful little boy today. Timmy was diagnosed with lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. He passed peacefully early this afternoon while my son held him. He'd been ill for a while. There's a thread detailing his ailments in Guinealynx if anyone's interested Guinea Lynx :: Topic -...

Seeing as though my cage is now big enough for 6 pigs I adopted another. Her name is Pumpkin. The rescue lady told me she was litter trained but I never expected it to this extent. She is completely clean, not a single stray poop on the fleece. I've never known a pig like this before. I'm...

Some new pigtures of my pigs, all taken in the last 2 weeks Left to right Lola, Timmy and Mavis Mavis (Do I smell veggies?), Poppy and Flossie Lola and Timmy "Give me that broccoli!" "No its mine!" "OK, I'll let the lady win" All five enjoying veggies during floortime

I'm thinking about adopting another female to live with my 4 girls and one neutered male. I'm not sure though if this would make the cage overcrowed. Its a 2x7 which is 3 wide in 3 places so its effectively a 2x7 plus a 1x3 joined together. As my grids are 14" squares I make that 24.5 square...

Poppy saw the vet last week as she has a hard lump near one of her nipples and fluid with blood is coming out of the nipple. She was put on baytril and the lump has gone down quite a bit but she still has blood and fluid so the vet said to keep her on baytril another week. The amount of baytril...

I've just been reading on another forum. They strongly recommend worming guinea pigs every 3 months. I never heard this before and theres nothing about it on Guinealynx. Has anyone else heard this advice before?

This is my cage as it is now: Its a 2 tier 2x7 however I'm don't need the lower level anymore as I only have 5 pigs now and they live together. I've been pondering for a couple of weeks now whether to adopt a couple more pigs to go in the empty cage but I decided it would be better to give...

I'm going to report them when I figure out how to. This makes me so angry. I bet they're bonded and now they're being auctioned off separately like they're just objects rather than sentient beings :mad: GUINEA PIG on eBay, Guinea Pigs, Pet Supplies, Home Garden (item 190150622176 end time...

I'm so gutted. I was still grieving for Hazel when yesterday I found my favourite pig Milly had died. She passed peacefully in her sleep, with her eyes closed. I don't understand as she hadn't been ill and had been her usual cheery self. There will never be another pig like Milly, she was so...

I have an appointment at the vets this afternoon. I'm really worried that they'll say Hazel should be put to sleep. Last night I thought she'd died. She was on her back with her legs up in the air. Her legs have been bad for a while but she's 11 years old. The vet advised to give extra vitamin C...

After several horrible videos showing guinea pigs being abused that I've seen posted here I thought it would be nice to start a thread showing happy piggy videos. Guinea pigs fighting for a cucumber

After many months of treatment for an infected jaw Patches's finally seemed to be better but unfortunately he became ill with a gut infection and passed away this afternoon. He was the last of my male group and I'd been planning to get him a friend when he got better but it was not to be. I'm...

I have 2 rabbits called Lolly and Dylan who live in my garden. They have free run of the garden and 4 hutches (doors always open) for shelter. Right now its bitterly cold here in the UK, below freezing. Is it OK for rabbits to live like this? Whenever I've brought them indoors they don't seem...
