My best friend has four children and her husband recently had to take a pay cut in his job to keep it. Today we were talking and she confided in me that she is really worried about how she is going to provide for her children during the upcoming holidays. I thought I would check around and see...

I love this forum and the wealth of knowlege it offers for guinea pig owners. Before I got my piggies I came here first to learn as much as I could. I have a friend that has a miniature horse that she wants to get rid of. We really want to get it from her but I would like to know everything...

Does any body know about any rescues in my area? I gotta get rid of these girls. My shelter says they are not set up for them so if I bring them there they will just kill them. I really don't know what to do with them. I've put them on a couple different Guinea pig sites and on Craig's list...

I have three girls, Molly, Minnie, & Marsha, that I need to find a new home for. These girls are very bonded to each other and must stay together. They come with a 2x4 c&c with a 1x2 2nd floor. Also included are all their accessories, including bedding, fleece, water bottles, hideys, litter...

Ohhh! Those are too cute! How big are they? It's hard to tell from the pic.

My Molly was last placed with her mis-sexed brother 69 days ago. They were together for about 2 weeks before I figured it out. She looks very pregnant. However I have not positively felt the baby(ies) move yet. I have felt a few small "moves" that could have possibly been gas or even a belly...

I am a stay at home mom of 5. My kids range in age from 1-8. They all really want a dog as do my husband & I. Right now we only have one pregnant piggie (accidental misexing, not on purpose) and 2 gold fish. We would like to adopt a very calm & mellow dog. I do not want a dog that will...

I am a foster parent in the US. I have had a total of 11 children bless my life. I gave birth to 3 of them, 2 of them we adopted, & 6 of them have returned home to their families. I can honestly say I feel the same amount of love for every child that has come into my home, regardless of how...

My vet charges $85 to neuter. She also charges $32 for an general exam before deciding if the GP is healthy enough for it. She will waive the exam if she has ever seen your pig before for anything. I think the cost changes alot from state to state. I think you should trust your gut. Best...

I was able to read this before it was removed and it brought tears to my eyes. I am disgusted by the events that took place around this birth. I am especially disgusted by the fact that after an extearmly long labor, then giving partial birth, 30 minutes later finishing the birth of a still...

I love happy endings!

You did great! I love looking at all the neat ideas people come up with on here. I bet you have some very happy piggies!

I have been struggling with what to do with my cage for awhile. After alot of looking and thinking. I decided to start with a simple with a 1x2 upper level kitchen. So now I have a 2x4 with a 1x2 upper level. I put fleece, a hidey, extra food, & water up there at first. She wouldn't go up...

Here is the answer to the "Should I get another?" question. You MUST put a new piggie in a different room behind closed doors for quarantine. If you don't you will have a bigger vet bill that just a neutering. Especially considering the poor care your friend's pig has been getting. I think...

Put them in a temp cage for the night and move them in with you. It just might save you from having to do a vet visit next week. Better safe than sorry, right?
