I have had similair problems of late. My oldest boy Sparky past away last month and i have since then adopted a younger pig and tried to introduce him to the herd and he has caused nothing but trouble in the group Cosmo and Henry get along prefectly inless i try to put Harvey in the groups floor...

My vet told me it was a two week thing after his check-up which he got a clean bill of health. And he was in my bedroom when he was in quartine. So Sparky size shouldnt be a problem then, thanks for relieving that fear. lol So tonight we will sit down and let Sparky Cosmo and Henry play for...

So 2 weeks ago we (me and my boyfriend) went to the shelter and adopted a little boy guinea pig they said he is about 2 months maybe 3. He is the tinest thing I have seen. So he is in his own house for the time being. But how long should I keep him in his own place? I have done the two weeks...

Ok so I guess I will go longer and a little bit wider. I just got them into their own room. So I have tons of space. Thanks for all the replies.

I have a 2x4 cage and i am thinking of adding on to it. So my question is should i go long or wider? I know for sure i am going to get another medium 2x4 cage.

When I first built my cc cage, My pig Sparky was scared to death. We had to slowy move all of his toys away from him so he would move. Your lucky your pig took to the new cage so fast.

My boys will do the same thing, I always just take the dominate one out for a while then put him back in the cage. That way he will settles down, If blood is drawn then it is time to seperate them. If not, they should grow out of it. Puberty could be the cause.

If you are looking for a buddy, get a male, best bet is to get a young one, that way he will learn from Speedy. Go to Petfinder.com you can put your zip code in and they will list all the pigs within your area or outside your county. Always adopt, petstores are not the place to go.They buy from...

I have seen people on this website use bricks they stay cool for hours. About a week ago Missouri had some high temps and my parents wouldnt turn on the ac so i put a icepack, (its in a tough plastic holder) wrapped in a towel on the floor of there cage, when the pigs got to warm they would go...

As a former highschool student (class of 08) I got my pigs when I was in nineth grade so I have a similar story, It is really hard balancing pigs and homework and if you want to have a outside life you are going to have to have a strict routine. I know I would get up an half an hour earlier so I...

That is the sickest thing I have ever read!!! I can't believe some people have the nerve to treat animals that way.

I tired to cut my Cosmo's nails by myself but it ended up with me bleeding and him being mad. I had him in my lap and he was standing up and i was trying to cut his front little foot and he turned around even before i could get near him and he took a chunk out of me! Then he sat there and...

I have the same problem with my boy Cosmo. He bit me threw my shirt and drew blood on my shoulder area. Let me tell I havent felt pain like that in a long time.

I think my boys actually enjoy this weekly cleaning spree. lol Just make sure you have a firm grip on him the first time you do it, most boys squirm. I mean who wouldn't. Poor guys thinking you are going to cuddle with him but instead you put a Qtip in his no-no area. lol

Hey I know how you feel with the shelters near u, i had the same problem with my second pig. So i went to the pet store and got him, i wont regret it cus i got a lovely boy who i love and who Sparky couldnt live with out. I would keep them apart for awhile and then take Zoey to the vet and make...

Well he normally does it after i pick them up and feed them. Its like a whining noise that gets real low then high at that point it sounds like a loud squeak but when it is quiet it sounds like a whee whee all time. Its confusing because I'll be playing with him and his brother for awhile and as...

So I have been watching my boys a lot lately since in St.Louis has been having bad weather. grr... But I have noticed Cosmo seems to 'cry' a lot. I am not sure how to explain it. But I will be on my bed and looking in thier cage and Cosmo will be walking around with his head stuck in the air and...

My sparky had a horrible fall before . He was in my arms and i was putting him in his cage and before i knew it he was flying. I guess he really wanted to get to his home but he missed it. He was up pretty high but all was well. He was shocked and gave me a look like wtf why did u let me do...

I have been watching him and he hasnt been straching a lot or bitting himself. Cosmo is acting normal too. I will continue to watch thou. So far he hasnt been acting werid just his normal "I'm not coming to you until you give me carrots" thing. Thanks for all the help.

Well i gave him a bath yesterday and he didnt have anything wrong. I dont know why he would have bitten her. I think maybe she just held him wrong or something. I call my vet and set up an appointment if he continues to be in pain.
