It has been many years since I have been here, or have owned Guinea pigs. Long story short, my teenage son acquired two "female" Guinea pigs earlier this year. Since that time I have placed my son in a drug rehab, and while hes been away I have discovered one GP is actually a Male and the...

I think I have met my pigs limit on corn husks and silks lol My inlaws pulled 100 ears of corn from their garden last week, so I was the lucky recipient of over 30 gallons of fresh corn husks and silks... My poor pigs have eat and eat and eat their way through it all and we are now down to the...

My 4 boars all get on quite well on a normal every day basis, but Kismet (gray) and Screach (white) have the occasional day where they are all stirred up with each other. They are both the dominant ones of the cage, and I don't think they have ever quite settled which of the two is more...

I used to own a couple of ferrets, but that has been years ago before I knew how grossly wrong pet store advice can be so I doubt I provided them with all that they needed. Today a friend called. She adopted a ferret from a rescue for her 2 yr old daughter Friday. From the rescue she drove...

I can't remember who all was in chat with me a while back when I mentioned I had gone and taken the Postal Exam that day, so I thought I would update here. I have stressed out so much about this, completely convinced that I totally bombed this test. I got my results in the mail on Saturday...

I am making this post, so that I can reference it when someone asks, rather than retyping the info. again. :) If you haven't seen it, please see VJ's post about pic rules before posting any pics on the website. Pet store cage and guinea pig pics are not allowed in the galleries! Here is her...

I have a yard full of this stuff, and didn't see it listed on the "don't" list. Do you know if this is a safe treat for the pigs, or no? Lamium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I picked a gallon bag full of it today, and have it set to the side until I get some info. on it. Thanks!

Since Chloe passing away on Friday, my Pew girls are at each others throats. They aren't fighting to an extent that they need to separated, but they are both just simply miserable-it makes me so sad. When I adopted the girls they were actually a few days shy of 3 weeks old, so I guess Chloe...

For those of you that question the importance of having your pig seen immediately if they have any decrease in activity or change in behavior, this is my story of how quickly things can go down hill. Friday I noticed Chloe wasn't coming out to eat her veggies (she is usually the first one out...

I gave the PEW girls a paper sack last night. They had a blast "remodeling" their pad.... They chewed in their own back door. Rather than switching around the 3 pvc pipes, this time I taped them all together to form a little mini maze. The boars loved it! They played for hours. Most...

I finally worked up the nerve to give Kismet a more thorough haircut. Actually, he got a bath which he didn't mind, and blow dried with the hair dryer, which he also didn't mind..... but he was ticked off about the hair cut! He does not like having his butt touched hehe so he was not at all...

Tuesday night I finally used the very last of my KM bluegrass. I was expecting a new order to arrive Wednesday, but I had plans to go help my mom make Val Day deliveries and wouldn't be here to replenish the hay racks when the order arrived. I was forced to pick up a bag of Kaytee Timothy hay...

I found this bag of leafy veggies at the produce store yesterday and at a glance I thought it was Spinach. Was only .39 for the bag, so I figured I would get it and offer just a little to the pigs. When I pulled it out of the bag last night, I wasn't so sure anymore if it was spinach or not...

Credit goes to TheQueen for this hay rack idea, but I wanted to post some picks for those who may not have seen her cage post. After seeing her post, it dawned on me that I had some of these storage racks stored away. Here are pics of them with the package still attached: So I put the...

In the wee hours Thursday morning my dad and step mom were awoken by my dad's lab. She was jumping up scratching at the bedroom window and barking like crazy, so my dad got up to investigate. A built on room attached to the home behind my dads house was ablaze. They called the family to make...

His name is Screach, but I most often call him "butt puff". ;) I had told Cavy Ema I would get a pic of Screach and his wild hair, and with the Static post, I thought I would finally get off my rear end and do it. Here is Screach and his permanent "static hairdo". Poor boy, he is like an abby...

I started AND FINISHED! clipping all 7 pigs nails tonight. Everyone got brushed too. Holy moly that is a project! Kismet had one little mat forming in his rear end hair that I had to get rid of and man was he mad at me! It took me longer to do their pedicures, than it did to build my cage...

Has anyone heard of, seen, or used the Woody Pets brand horse stall wood pellets? I use fleece on the main part of my cages, but I recently started using the Feline Pine pellets in the hay area's. I am really liking the pellets because I can see which area's are soiled and scoop them out...

I went today and bought (2) 4'x8' sheets of coroplast, and 46 new grids. I plan to spend the day tomorrow, finally!, on my big cage rebuild. The cage that I did have in my living room was 2x4. I arranged to fit a 2x5, but I am really really hell bent on fitting a 2x6 someway, somehow. I...

I apologize if this is something that has been discussed or mentioned eons ago...I am just thinking out loud. I was poking around the net, and wound up on the wikipedia website and read their page on guinea pigs, again. I had forgotten that I read it back when I got my pigs, and it is one of...
