Any time, I can use 2x1 spaces for Alfonz and Marbles, but thats because they adore each other, but I couldn't do it if I put Jellybean near them

My piggy boys are foolish when it comes to their hay. I use hay bags, because it seems to work the best, they pig boy duo eats their hay from the bag, and they dont spread it around. Jellybean doesnt like the bag, so he pulls it out all across the cage. I have tried everything for Jellybean...

I would make the west wing 3x2 as the 3x1 will be narrow, and allow space for pigs to get cornered. Congratulations on the piggy girls.

I think that what you need to consider, beyond whatever these others are saying ( no offense, as I respect you all ) is whether you can afford another piggy, in case of emergency, and if you are committed to housing one more separate cage, for one or more pigs, because one lone pig cries for...

Multiples of everything is what I thing is working best for me. I have to remove their houses at night right now, because they fight over them. I suggest not having houses until your boys can get along without hiding. Alfonz and Marbles refuse to use their separate hay bag or water bottles, but...

The best way to decide how many is too many is to consider your financial situation, can you afford the veggies for all three (I noticed a cost increase when I got a third) can you afford vet visits for three of them? Emergency vet visits? Can you give all three of them the time they need a day...

I change the piggy boys cage too much and they are so incredibly messy lol.

If I take away the pellets, how do I stop the piggy boy bickering?

Alfonz is a year and 2 months, he is about 3.5 pounds. I can take a picture of him, and post it, although I've posted some on here before of him. I can take one now, and show him. They get a cup of food a day, between the two of them, and it usually last them all through the day, because...

For starters, how can I tell if my piggy boy is overweight? Alfonz sometimes looks like he has a "waddle" (you know, like a turkey) and I am beginning to think that I am making him fat. He is still pretty active, jumps in and out of his hay bin, and his hidey house, and runs around the cage...

This video shows that frozen veggies are as full of nutrients as fresh veggies. Is there anything wrong with feeding frozen veggies to guinea pigs, as well as fresh veggies?

I dont seem to have much of a problem with smelly fleece, and this week because I have been soooooo busy at work, the cage went 10 days without cleaning (I felt terrible for the piggy boys, but I have just been away alot more than normal). I use an old kitty litter tray under the pig boys hay...

My boys only eat out of the one hay bag in their cage also, they know where the second one is, and they used it once, but now they dont even bother with it, I think if they are willing to share, and aren't causing each other any grief, or stopping each other from eating, then its not really a...

I have hay bags made out of a sturdier fabric, hay sticks to the fleece so I used a fabric that wasn't fluffy, I love the hay bag, it keeps my cage much tidier for sure. This is my hay bag :)

You clearly didnt read thoroughly, as Morgan said his exotics vet was 3 minutes away but was on vacation, out of town, but he talked to the vet on the phone and will see them tomorrow, but for now, the pig is doing fairly well
