General How many piggies do you have or want to have?

[GummiB3ar]

I only have one right now but looking for a second, and might eventually do 3 if I have the room for 3 right now I have plenty of room for 2

That's great to hear. Hope you find a good cage mate for your current piggy. Good luck with everything

Tell your hubby that a lonely piggy is more likely to get depressed and ill

ditto that

Awww so cute. So you have to wait like 2 more weeks before you can bring him home then right? I'm still waiting for Princess to have her 3 babies. I hope it all goes well. I think they will get along just fine. It may take then a few days or weeks to get used to each other. Crossing my fingers they get along from day one

Yeah, he's a week old now and I will be bringing him home when he reaches 5 weeks - he'll be separated from his Mum at 3 weeks but then my friend who I'm adopting him from quarintines his pigs for a further 2 before he lets them go, so I can hopefully crack on with intros when he arrives! So like a month before I can have him, I can't wait!! Wish it wasn't so long really. I hope they get along from the start, I *think* it should go well because they're both quite young and I think Noah might have the upper hand cos he'll be bigger so dominance shouldn't really be too hard to figure out but he's also a little bit too chilled out whereas Elmo's already proving to be a bit adventurous, so who knows, Noah may end up answering to him! So long as they're friends from the start I don't mind, because I don't have a temporary cage other wise! (I can borrow one if not though )

Aww that's good you friend does that for you. The next 4 weeks will go by fast don't worry. Good luck with the 2 boys. I'm sure they will figure out the dominance thing.

Yea a bit. But you do a rescue so that would be why it sounds that way. Best of luck with them all. Hope you find families for the ones you have rescued.

I have a 2x5 cage with a 1x2 loft for my two guinea pigs. I have a ton of space but this size is plenty big enough for me. I would love to adopt more but I'd need to keep expanding their cage!

 

[pocketmonster]

I have a 2x4 for my two sows, Radley and Olive. I want to add a 1x2 loft for them when I move in two weeks. I really love only having two piggies.. For a few months I had three in two separate cages. This was back when I had two boars, Scout and Harper, and I adopted Radley under the impression she was a he and they would live together. Upon finding out her gender and obviously needing to keep her separate, I found out just how difficult it is to have two separate cages...
So now, Scout and Harper are the new best friends of a lovely 13 year old girl, and I'm totally complacent with my two quiet, clean, adorable little girlies

Here they are!

Radley snuggling in some blankets!


Olive says hello!

Hi!! I have 3 piggy girls and I love them, I would happily have 6 at least haha! I'm not sure if I want to get another girl, or a male and then hope they get pregnant... since they are no rescues here in TJ, and San Diego rescues doesn't let me adopt since I moved to TJ... hmm..we'll see.. Oh, I almost forgot, right now I have a 2x5, but I'm about to expand it, maybe another 2x5 on top..I'm not sure whats the better size cage that could work for us and be not expensive.... any suggestions?

 

[AnimalLover202]

How many guinea pigs do you have? 2 boars

Do you want to adopt anymore? yes, there is a boar on CL that I want(because there are no rescues or pigs up for adoption in my area...)

How much space do you have in your cage( for how many guinea pigs)? Um... I don't really want to talk about my cages...(they sucks, but I'm trying to get a new one though!)

That's good. I hope you get the boar that you want on CL. Hope all goes well with it. Good luck on getting them a new cage.

That's good to hear that you would like more, but don't breed them. It's very dangerous for the female especially if they are over 8 months old and never had babies before. Adopt or rescue them. Instead of building a 2x5 on top of your 2x5, I would just make your current 2x5 a 3x4 instead if yo can. Having a 2x5 on top of a 2x5 would be kinda hard to clean. Good luck with your girls.

I told my mom and she wasn't to big on the idea... so probably not. But thanks anyways. :3
