    Videos Ida and Sparkles play together for the first time!

    Thanks for the video. What a great introduction! I love how they go from chasing each other around to getting down to the piggy business of eating grass. So cute. Sparkles and Ida are gorgeous!

    Needing to Rehome Pigs;

    I always think that my pigs would be perfectly content if I just dished up their food, cleaned their cage, and otherwise left them alone. They don't want lap time, they just tolerate that, and it's treats that make it tolerable for them. Their cage is big enough that we don't do floor time...

    Videos Timelapse of guinea pigs in their home

    That is fantastic! I love seeing them standing up begging at the side of the cage, having a nap in the cuddle cup, and hoovering up veggies! Very fun! Thanks.

    Behavior Brand new piggies look a little off

    Hi, welcome to the forum! Ditto places to hide, even if it's just an upturned cardboard box with 2 doors (so one won't get trapped by the other pig) cut out, or a towel draped over a corner or end of the cage. Pigs love fleece forests too. You could put some food right near their hideys at...

    Weight Is my piggy gaining too much weight?

    It's hard to tell what the movement is, but it could have been a cough or a sneeze, or perhaps the hiccups if there were several, spaced a second or two apart. My Basher used to get them when she ate too fast. Good luck with her. She's a lovely piggy!

    Bonding I just introduced my guinea pigs and need advice

    If you've taken the pigloos out, make sure that you've given them some other form of hidey, so they are not required to be out in the open. Cheap step stools, or bent grid tunnels are great as the pigs can run through them and nobody gets trapped, or make a fleece forest. Piggies love those...

    Weight Is my guinea pig pregnant or just gaining weight really fast?

    Weights can vary by perhaps an ounce according to the time of day, if they've just eaten or peed and pooped. Also, if she is pregnant, you don't want to be handling her excessively. Let's hope she's just a little fatty! They are both gorgeous piggies!

    Bonding I just introduced my guinea pigs and need advice

    Hi, congrats on the intro! I would put the food in two separate spots, so your pig can't guard both. And use a fleece forest or other hideys that have two entrances so a pig can't get trapped in a pigloo by another, especially while they're getting to know one another. You could always stick...

    Behavior Piggies TOO Friendly!

    Hi @mufasa, haven't seen you on here in a while! It sounds like Amy and Quinn have got you very well trained! You're lucky to have such friendly pigs. My loud and friendly pig Basher passed away, and now I have two quiet ones. No more screaming for food in our house, and we miss that. So I'm...

    Grooming Anal Sac cleaning is the worst!

    Poor Gilbert! He does look upset in that first pic. What a cutie! You do know that the purring sound in guinea pigs does not necessarily mean contentment, as in cats? It can be a sign of irritation, or mean "don't touch me there", as when you touch a pig's backside. That's great you found a...

    Keeping Warm The guinea pig winter blues

    Actually, I just watched a few more of your videos that came up when your above one ended. So cute! Where do you get all the training stuff like goal net, hoop, etc?

    Keeping Warm The guinea pig winter blues

    @prettynyguen, your piggies are gorgeous and very clever little dudes! I might try that with my girls. I don't have a load of those balls, but I could use scrunched up paper balls with treats underneath. I would love to see more of your ideas. I think I saw a video of yours before along those...
