After much consideration (and realizing it's a 1/3 of the cost of the hay I'm getting now), I've decided to order a 25lb box of KM's hay. However, I have a couple questions before I finalize the order: 1)How big (dimensions please) is the 25lb box? 2)I know it has to be store in a cool, dry...

Right now, my two boys go through a 40oz bag of Oxbow timothy hay a month. After doing some math, I've discovered that the 25lb box they offer is the same as 10 of those bags...at half the price (and that includes shipping)! My question: How does one keep a 25lb box of hay fresh for, roughly...

One of my friends from Twin Cities Guinea Pig Rescue (TCGPR) posted this over on LiveJournal. They've made the goal for the Ipod PLUS an additional $100. Any additional funds past the cost of the Ipod will be going towards getting a small ITunes gift card and a donation to TCPGR in the little...

The first one is my Christmas card: What better way to get them to sit still than food! lol

As much as Oliver likes to annoy Twizzler, he still seems to depend on him for comfort and companionship. Anything special I should be doing for Oliver while Twizzler is gone? And while he's in quarantine after his procedure?

A little background first. I rescued Twizzler back in May, and in June we discovered an abscess on his cheek, just under his left eye. I brought him to the vet and we were given ABs (Trimethoprim Sulfa liquid(SMZ), for those that are curious). He was dosed every 12 hrs and at the end of the...

My Oliver is a chewer, and he likes to eat what he chews...but the hay doesn't seem to satisfy him, and he eats any and all boxes/bags/etc that I put in the cage. So my question is this: Can I give him a rawhide bone to chew on? Was thinking something along the lines of this (the...

and this is what I found. What? It was like that when you left. I just love the look Twizzler is giving me.

you spend more time keeping their cage clean than you do your own room/house.

Per a couple recommendations in an earlier post, I cut back on the amount of pellets I give Oliver and Twizzler. They were originally getting 1/4 cup each, daily...I cut back to 1/8 cup each, daily. Here's the problem. Twizzler not only won't let Oliver have any of the pellets now, but he also...

I took Oliver and Twizzler out for some floor time while I folded laundry. I set the basket on the floor and started folding. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see Oliver waddling up to me and the basket. He sniffed the basket, which apparently highly excited him, because the next thing I know...

My youngest pig, Oliver, is just about 1 year old. And ever since I got up, he's been non-stop pestering Twizzler (2 yrs old) just like they'd met for the first time. :confused: What Oliver is doing: -Chattering quietly (no lunging) -Raising his nose higher than Twizzler's -Bum sniffing...

While doing clincals for my Nurse's Assistant training, we were in a nursing home and in the lobby on our floor they had a guinea pig, an orange aby female (with a white bum)named Nikki. Unfortunately, the day I got there, the cage and pig were a mess. Poor piggy has super long nails and a bald...

Twizzler is finally comfortable enough around me to popcorn and do zoomies around the cage! :goodvibes He just spent the last 5 minutes doing zoomies, and got Oliver so excited that he started doing zoomies and popcorning as well. The whole cage was shaking! Just had to share with people who I...

Does anyone have any hints, tips or suggestions on a safe, sturdy, inexpensive way to get my cage up off the ground? The space you see in the first pic is the space I have to work with. I've looked into coffee tables, however each table I've found has 1 of 3 problems: a)WAY too expensive and...

I'm going to Alaska for a week, over Christmas, with my parents and I'm curious on a few things about leaving my pigs with my fiancé. He's knowledgeable in pig care, and my boys know him well enough for me to leave him with them for a few days. However, there are a few concerns I have. 1) In...

After showing this picture to my parents, they no longer as why I bought the giant pigloo. All I did was set the pigloo on the floor, they packed themselves inside.

I just found out that my grandparents (on my dad's side) used to breed piggies in their basement. This was 40-45 years ago, but it still makes my heart ache that I'm related to people who used to do this sort of thing. The worst part is, they didn't even breed them for pets, they bred them for...

We just got a lug of peaches from the neighbor (a box of 30 for those that aren't familiar), and there are only 3 of us humans. Can the pigs have some? If so, can they be given slices a couple times a week like an apple or should I limit it to once a week or less? I see it on the GL Fruit...
