Does anyone know if it would be possible to incorporate a small dog crate into the under cage storage area of a guinea pig cage, with proper reinforcement of course? I have a full-grown dachshund who's small dog crate also stays in my room. I am thinking about re-designing the C&C cage that...

It's hard to believe how much has happened since the last blog I posted on adopting Ichabod. Last May I started taking riding lessons since I have always loved horses and missed riding a lot, fell off a horse in august and developed chronic low back pain (xrays showed that my hips are slightly...

It all started with a random text to my friend about ever after high of all things (but hey it's okay for a 26-year-old to like that), anyways she texted me back and right after sent me a text asking if I needed any "ginnies?" I figured she meant guinea pig but I clarified anyway. She works at...

Saturday night I lost one of the boars I adopted three years ago, Holmes. He had been fine throughout the day but I found him when I went to feed them that night. His cagemates, Sherlock and Haru, didn't seem phased by it...of course they and the two in the other cage heard me grab the food...

Well, I have a new boar to eventually introduce to my other four. After the three week quarantine of course. I got a call last month from a close friend whose friend needed to re-home a guinea pig, and last night my brother picked him on his way to spend the weekend with us. I've noticed that...

Hello, some of you may remember a post a while back when I decided to rehome my three girl guinea pigs and keep the four boys. The girls have long since gone to their new home and I had successfully introduced the two pairs of boys and combined the two stacked 2x5s. So Sherlock and Holmes (2+...

I just got some more coroplast for cage modifications and went to a new sign store to get it; the old one was closing and had already moved inventory. Of course I had to go back up there in my brother's xterra to actually bring the big piece home. When I go back up there, not only do I have the...

This weekend I actually transferred about $60 into savings to start a vet fund and was proud or myself for doing so because it's not just for my guinea pigs but for my other pets too. This morning I found out the the refund from financial aid was about $200 short of what I thought it was...

I know this is a guinea pig forum, but I figured someone on here might have experience with chinchillas. I went with my friend to help clean up another friend's mom's place because she's going to be moving in there, and I took pity on the chinchilla Cloud. I'm not sure how long she'd been in...

Alright, many of you know that I have seven pigs but not many know that I'm a bit of a pack rat and somewhat organizationally challenged. I have some pretty big furniture in a small room, approximately 8x9. I'm planning on switching the large dresser for a smaller one, but I need a desk before...

I noticed that my youngest pig, Choco, was getting "fat" rather quickly and this morning I could've sworn I felt movement twice. So I took her to the vet and it only took him a few seconds of touching her belly before he nodded. So my little Choco is going to be a mommy. We don't know how many...

Alright, Friday in a moment of weakness I bought a little female piggy. I know the views on pet stores and I normally share them, but I melted when I had a chance to hold the little girl. Hence, the moment of weakness part. The point is: the deed was done, she's here, and I'm not taking her...

Ever have one of those days where it seems that anything that could go wrong does? Well as far as the guinea pigs go, this is kinda one of those days. After getting home from doing college applications, I gathered up all three of my pigs and took them to the vet to get their nails clipped. I...

Hello, I adopted a female pig saturday and she's possibly pregnant, though so far weight changes have been fluctuating a little (Gained around 26g between sunday and monday, but lost a couple between monday and tuesday) and I know 2 grams isn't too much but I'm just wandering about the total...

Well, I finally picked up Mo today. I had been in communication with her owner since she called me on the first of this month to see if I could adopt Mo. We had actually had a chance meeting not long before at K-Mart on the pet aisle; she had asked me if I had guinea pigs and the conversation...

I bought some fleece today in order to make a cuddle cup for a new piggy I'm getting Saturday since she appears quite pregnant (wanted her to have something soft to sleep on). However, I currently use aspen shavings in my guinea pig cages (Though for her quarantine cage I might just use a fleece...

Today marks a year since I adopted Sherlock and Holmes, and I'm pleased at how far they come. Over the past year, they've gone from huddling at the back of a cage to coming over to see if I have food and occassionally let me pet them before running off to avoid getting picked up. I've been in a...

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I put it here. I've been thinking about creating a facebook page for my piggies as a way to kinda show them off but possibly to help out with a guinea pig fund. My question is, have any of you created pages for your guinea pigs or another pet and if so what...

Alright, I'm going on a trip this weekend and I'll be gone for a week and a half. I already have a pig-sitter lined up to watch my two boys while I'm gone. I'm trying to figure out what to do for a temporary cage for them. I'd take apart the 2x4 cage that they're in but it's attached to the grid...

I've been super excited since I ordered some cubes and coroplast last saturday, and I now have recieved both; cubes yesterday at walmart, and coroplast today. Sherlock and Holmes will be getting a 2x4 cage to run around to their hearts content. I just have a couple questions. First Question: I...
