I adopted a ~4 mo old boy last sunday. We already have a girl who is around 4 years. We of course have them housed separately right now. Chili is our new boy and we adopted him after we heard of a lady here locally who was hoarding animals and children in a mini-van. 23 guinea pigs, several...

I walked into a local petstore where I go to school, and of course went to check out the animals they had for sale. They had 3 large aquarium type tanks. One had tons and tons and tonsss of hamsters. The next had rabbits but they were all very young. The 3rd had the larger adult rabbits. My...

I've been on the lookout to get a friend for my piggie...and I obviously want to adopt or rehome off of craigs list. I found this listing today, and its suspiciously looks like a breeder. Any second opinions? (broken link removed)

A few weeks ago I posted about pigsitting advice because I was going to paris for a week and would be gone for 10 days. Well I took the precious time to prepare 20 meals for cinny and putting them into plastic baggies to make it SUPER easy for my friend to feed her. for the first 5 days I put...

I'm going to Paris for spring break, so I'm leaving my pigger with a friend who also has a pig. So she knows the basics. What I plan on doing is putting every meal into a plastic baggy so all she has to do is dump it into a bowl. I'm going to be gone for 10 days though, and I'm worried that...

If it had not been for this forum, these shows would not have caught my attention as they do now. I had to post about this once seeing them. On national geographic, they have a show all about hybrid animals and selective breeding to create animals that are either bigger or easier to farm...

I thought my pigger had mites by the way she was acting: biting herself, itching herself a lot, not enjoying lap time...etc. So I figured I would give her a couple rounds of ivermectin to see if the symptoms would go away. I've given her 2 treatments and so far I haven't noticed any changes...

I tried looking for a thread centered on the discussion of eating seafood but no other types of meat. I may have not looked long or hard enough but I did not find one that was answering my questions. The idea of becoming a vegetarian has interested me for awhile now (off and on). However...

First off - good news! In the past two days I have showed three people the undercover video from Rainbow Exotic of how inhumanely the animals are treated before being sold to petstores. I convinced my friend to build a C&C cage to get her piggy out of his petstore cage and she's looking at...

I'm planning on giving my piggie her first dose of ivermectin. Ever since I got her she has been itching and biting more than I thought was usual. So after reading up on how easy it is to give them ivermectin, I decided to order it and give it a shot. Now that everything is here and I've...

I've had my piggie for about a month now and I have noticed how she itches herself quite a bit. Yes she is from a petstore, I didn't know about the problems with petstore animals until finding this site. My main question is, if she had some sort of skin parasite, would it in any way affect me...

I was at my friends apartment yesterday, and her roommate has 2, gorgeous male GP's. The bad thing is, she has them both in a really really tiny petstore cage. This cage isn't even big enough for one guinea pig, let alone two. And hers are adults and they are pretty large. She also had no...

Hi, I was just wondering if the scented oil plugins are ok to have in the same room as the guinea pigs cage because I know that certain beddings with aromatic oils are bad for them. I dont want to get my piggy sick because of an air freshener! (Sorry if this isn't the right spot for this...
