I had two female guinea pigs, Ginger and Dixie. Dixie died suddenly this morning (may her beautiful little soul rest in peace) and I am in shambles. I don't know how to handle Ginger not having a mate. She is eating and seems to be doing okay. I don't want her to be without a friend if it is...

My guinea pig Ginger had pink blood about a month ago. I kept a close eye on it and it went away. Well, I just went up to give the pigs some veggies and the white fleece she was laying on has brown spots and a fresh spot of pee with a red spot and gunk. I'm sure it was her who did it because she...

I currently have two wonderful guinea pigs Dixie and Giner. I was looking on petfinder the other day and they have an adorable female that I would love to adopt. How much more work is it to have three guinea pigs than two? Right now I spend about $3-$5 a week on vegetables and a bag of oxbow...

I have had my two guinea pigs for almost a year. They seem to get along and run about their cage. My cage is very large and plenty big for four guinea pigs let alone two. When I take them out for floortime and for their salad around 8 or 9 at night they hide and quickly eat. Ginger is very...

I had my piggies out for floor time yesterday and I noticed a pinkish spot on the towel I had them on...Ginger went exploring on the left side of the cage and when I was cleaning up I saw a small puddle of bloody urine. It must be hers because she was the only piggy over in that area. I am...

I was at Americas fair near the lottery building and there was a tent with sugar gliders. I am not familiar with them as I have only had guinea pigs, hamsters and mice as small pets. The company was called Pocket Pets if anyone is familiar with it. Their website is XXXXXXXXXX. I was listening to...

I was holding my guinea pig Ginger this morning and noticed that she is wheezing while breathing. It sounds almost like she has liquid in her lungs. It also seems as though it is slighty laborous breathing. She has no runny nose or no secretions out of her eyes however last night while she was...

My dad has been eating a lot of organic and healthy foods lately and he read somwhere that growing and the juicing wheat grass is very good for you. Well, there are tubs of this grass all over my house. Two in the bathroom, four in the front window, etc. I was wondering if it's okay to feed my...

I have a bag of baby carrots, of which the experation date is January 2nd. I soaked them in water however they still appear very dry and cracked. Should I still feed them to my guinea pigs? My Dad ate one and says that they are fine and I am overreacting...

My guinea pig Ginger seems to have been chewing everything lately. She chews the chloroplast in her cage, the pillows, blankies, my finger, etc. I'm not sure if it's her teeth or what. Is there anything that would help? Should I get some chew sticks and see if she'll chew on those instead?

My guinea pig, Ginger, has a habit of chewing along the top edge of the chloroplast in her cage. I've read on here that it is not healthy and that you could use apple bitter spray along the chloroplast. I have bitter lime spray from my dog because he chews his feet. Would that be okay instead of...

I havn't been on in a while and wanted to give an update on my little piggers. I had recently adopted a female guinea pig companion(Ginger) for Dixie. They are getting along great! Dixie has come out of her shell and will come up to the door of the cage for kisses and a carrot. Ginger, who was...

I have read many posts on this website about females and when they are in "heat". I am assuming this is a time when they are sexually active but I am not sure if I am right. Kind of a wierd question but, can female guinea pigs get a period or do they have a menstrual cycle like humans?

I recently adopted a young female guinea pig named Ginger as a companion for my older guinea pig Dixie. I went through the 3 weeks quarentine, introductions and so on. Well, after about 2 months, I am happy to say that everything is going great. They got along pretty well at first and they still...

I went to one of my local feed stores yesterday to buy my shavings (they sell them in bulk). I ventured down the small animal aisle and was tickled pink to see that they had oxbow feed! They had timothy hay, orchard grass, pellets, etc. I was so excited because now I can switch from Mazuri to...

I just got a male mouse and he seems to be itching a lot. I think he might have lice but I'm not sure how to treat mice for that sort of thing. His poop is also a bright green...that might be because he isn't eating his food only these treat sticks but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any advice?

I am looking into getting a mouse which will be housed in my room, where my two guinea pigs' cage is. I was wondering, if I get my mouse and he happens to be sick, is it possible for my guinea pigs to get sick? Are infections and virus's animal specific?

My guinea pig Ginger always seems to be wheeking for vegetables. I give her and Dixie vegetables in the morning afternoon and night, 3 veggie meals a day but it seems that even if I walk into the room she will walk up the the door of the cage and wheek. Is that her way of saying hello or...

I just gave my two piggies their afternoon snack of carrots and I was watching them eat and run around while vacuuming up poops. Ginger came over to me and turned around and there was this string of cloudy/clear gunk coming out of her butt. She walked around and it came out. It almost looked...

I just got home from a long weekend vacation yesterday. Ginger, my younger guinea pig was popcorning all over a very happy and Dixie seemed scared and wouldn't come out to greet me. Anyway, today I noticed that Ginger's poops are really soft. They aren't watery or anything just really soft and...
