    Diet Fed my girls tomato leaves and stalks

    I've been feeding my 3 girls tomato leaves and stalks for the past 2 weeks. I just read online that the leaves and stalks are poisonous?!?!?! Is this true?

    Cage Let's see your cage Pictures please.

    We just added a Tupperware kitchen with Carefresh bedding. We also have a new hay bag and a new feeder for their pellets. Cleanup is much easier since they do most of their pees and poops in the kitchen. Does anyone else think the Carefresh stinks?? We also have new fleece flippers which we...

    Frustrated Lesson Learned: Pet Store female was pregnant

    She did make it through the night but after several more attempts, she will not eat or drink anything. I contacted multiple vets in our area and couldn't find one that treats guinea pigs. So I contacted our humane society and asked if they could care for guinea pigs. They said yes and they...

    Frustrated Lesson Learned: Pet Store female was pregnant

    Ok I'm going to put them all back together in their C and C and keep an eye on them overnight. I don't think she's going to nurse either though.

    Frustrated Lesson Learned: Pet Store female was pregnant

    @bpatters- she will not nurse at all. We cleaned her up because her mother kept ignoring her. And have kept her covered up to keep her warm. Should I put the mother and healthy baby back in their c and c cage? Also I posted a photo of the other "female." What are your thoughts? We only had...

    Frustrated Lesson Learned: Pet Store female was pregnant

    Without a doubt, I will do so in the future. I just don't understand how pet stores or anyone for that matter, can knowingly breed these sweet animals if "lethal" guineas are even a remote possibility?

    Frustrated Lesson Learned: Pet Store female was pregnant

    The 1st image is of our other guinea pig, Shady. The pet store told us she was a female as well. I agree, what does everyone else say? The 2nd image is of the one guinea pig who is struggling.

    Frustrated Lesson Learned: Pet Store female was pregnant

    We purchased 2 females from a pet store 56 days ago. One of the females had 2 pups today. One is perfectly fine and the other is laying on its side and can't sit up on its own. It is completely white and has red/pink eyes. I tried syringe feeding it some water but it wouldn't take it. This poor...

    C&C My First C&C Cage

    It is definitely better. I've got a Tupperware container for the kitchen at the end with fleece and a uhaul layer underneath. Then I'm going to keep a bowl of pellets, fresh hay, and I'll give them some veggies twice a day in there. Then I can just dump it and wash the fleece and uhaul liner as...

    C&C My First C&C Cage

    My new 2x4 C&C arrived last night. Still have some work to do to it, I just snapped a quick shot as soon as I got it up and them in it. Any suggestions are welcome. Also, every time I upload a photo from my phone it shows up upside down?? Can anyone tell me why? Like the photo below is what...

    First Time GP owner- wish I'd found this site first

    I purchased Shady and Shorty about 3 weeks ago. A few days later I found this site. And it was a few days too late. So for now they are in their pet store cage. My 2x4 C&C cage will be here Tuesday thank goodness!! After 2 days of Aspen bedding I quickly realized that wasn't going to work for...
