I just added a third pig on Monday. I had a pair of girls, about 2 and 1,5 years old, and I added another girl around 5 to 6 months old.

I washed them one by one and put them in a neutral area....

I’ve had females mostly, one had ovarian cysts, and one might have had pyometra. I still will not spay unless there are issues that require it.

But... some vets here remove ovaries through...

With fleece and towels you just have to have a piece of fleece long and wide enough so you can fold it underneath the towels to prevent burrowing. I did that for years. Having seperate layers like...

I don’t have liners, I have fleece on top of wood pellets and it works great for me.

I have had succes against a fungal infection with Imaverol. You mix it with water to get the right concentration and you can bathe the pig in it, but I put it in spray bottle and got the pig rather...

Have you separated mom and dad? She can get pregnant again right after giving birth. Back to back pregnancies are very hard on guinea pigs.

The male babies should also be separated from females at...

Not sure why the picture is turned.

I use aluminum (aluminium) u-profiles.

If she keeps steadily gaining and with me assuming she has had steady weight gain up till now, going by my latest piggies weights, I would say she is anywhere between 4 to 7 months old...

The picture is a bit blurry and I am by no means an expert, but either someone really kept up with the nails, or this is still a pretty young pig. The nails look really good and small still.

And maybe a picture of the feet, the nails included. Youngsters often have nice straight nails, which get thicker (and for mine at least, a bit more crooked) with age.

This stuff should work without getting your pig really wet.

If you have enough fleece, maybe you can fold it underneath the absorbent layer, that is how I do it. I use towels and washable incontinence pads and with the fleece folded underneath everything...

Taped a carpet to a wooden base, attached casters and put the cage on top of it. The cage is attached to the base with four screws, one through the middle of each corner connector.

Not a pellet, but still food. Not sure if it is too expensive.

Best for her is to get her a friend!


Most piggies warm up to their humans through food. Offer her bits of veggies to entice her to approach your hand and take the veggies from you. Show her the...

Also to keep in mind, guinea pigs are NOT cheap pets. You can keep costs in hand for their food and housing needs (though initial housing costs can be high), but vet bills can get up there!

So you are going to keep the male away from the female(s) and make sure that if (one of the) babies is male to keep them away from any females too once he reaches three weeks of age!

Good for you!

Nobody has been rude... yet...

Are you still having the male and female play together?
Your female just gave birth and can get pregnant again within minutes after giving birth, this is very bad...

So what is the exact inner size?

if piggies can climb panels from C&C cages, they most likely can climb your cage. They seriously are that determined sometimes.

And while I am in my nagging chair...

just saw a picture of your cage. I cannot tell the size, but it looks on the small side, especially for two boys, and majorly so if three pigs need to be...
