    Rabbits Need a crash course on bunnies ASAP please

    Aw, she's adorable! I used to own rabbits, and I love them. What's her name? :) And in case you haven't came across it: saveabunny.org has a lot of great information in the Rabbit Care section.

    Hello, we're new and we've got a PLAN

    About purchasing the baby guinea pigs - I can completely understand your concern, but it's important to realize that many (I'd say the majority) of rescue piggies were not abused. Lots of owners just can't keep their piggies because of divorce, moving, new baby, kids lost interest, etc. You...

    General What's this I hear about felt?

    WARNING: guinea pig newbie! I've been wandering through the forums to learn more about guinea pigs (I don't currently own any, but I'm thinking about maybe adopting two or three), and I've seen a lot of mentions of felt being used instead of bedding, and photos of C&C cages with felt on the...

    Veg*n Going from being a lacto-ovo vegetarian to a vegan?

    Thanks! A diet without any animal products is going to be very strange - but I hope I can get used to it. :)

    Veg*n Going from being a lacto-ovo vegetarian to a vegan?

    So, I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian (i.e., I don't eat meat, but dairy and egg products are okay to eat). I'm aware of the awful conditions in factory farms, and I've been contemplating for some time making the jump between being a vegetarian and being a vegan (duh duh DUH!). I'd love the input of...

    Veg*n Need help being a vegetarian....

    Have you ever tried the Morning Star fake meat brand? It isn't vegan (sorry vegans), but it tastes almost exactly like meat. And this website has great vegetarian recipes: Vegetarian Recipes - Allrecipes.com

    Flags Breeder

    Well, from a quick look through the site it looks like she's a great breeder of dogs. Excellent letter of recommendation from her vet, apparently inspected by the AKC, good requirements for her puppies to be adopted (fenced yard; someone has to be at home at all times; no children under six for...

    General Are there behavior differences between boars & sows?

    Thank you for the advice! I'm so sorry to hear about Wednesday. :sad:

    Hopefully a piggy owner to-be!

    Dee_E - thanks! Everyone has been very welcoming & friendly. :) Crystalkate - you can count on it. Your piggy is adorable, by the way! Zuidy - yes, if I decide to get piggies I would make a C&C. I've been wandering around with a measuring tape trying to figure out where I could put one in our...

    Behavior Guinea pigs are weird!

    "Popcorning" is similar to "zoomies" in dogs. Basically, they'll start running around like a crazy person, before jumping in the air and turning quickly to jump again. It's more common with young cavies, but adults do it to if they're really happy. You can Google search it to find videos of...
