I recently made a post about my piggie but to recap, my Laci is an elder pig and recently developed Scurvy. She is fed a wide range of veggies and she is on oxbow pellets which she does not like to eat. She eats her hay and veggies just fine. I was told by my vet that it is likely her age that...

Hello! I have an elder pig who is getting over a case of scurvy. She had a mild case that required her to get a vitamin C shot and take some liquid vitamin C. While I feed them unlimited hay, veggies at night, and pellets, she still somehow got scurvy. Now my vet said it has to do with her age...

Has anyone had a guinea pig that only had her ovaries removed rather than her whole uterus? I can't find any posts online where people discuss it. Also, I would love to hear opinions on the subject! My vet gave me two options on the spay and of the two options, she recommended only taking the...

Sorry the picture is sideways. I'm not sure how to fix that. The inner cage part is 18sq ft. Then I have the outter part of the cage and I am not sure how much room that adds. I currently have four girls and they love doing zoomies in this huge cage! :)

I actually did bring toilet paper rolls haha! I also brought hay (because I buy that in bulk so I have a lot), a few old hidey huts I had, some bedding (I told them about fleece but they said they couldn't wash it. Which is understandable), and two containers of veggies! I really wanted to make...

Thank you for the help! I needed up going with oxbow! I got a great deal at a discount pet food store! The piggies were very happy! (Probably because I brought bell pepper though haha)

My local SPCA currently has two guinea pigs that have been there for a few months now. I have been trying my best to help them in any way I can. I just found out that they have been giving the pigs different pellets brands of pellets very often, so I decided I'm going to try to buy them a big...

I just adopted two girls from the SPCA and I am not 100% convinced she is a girl. She is 3 months old is that helps for any reason. Also, she has crusty stuff on her area. I have a vet appointment coming up for them but if this is something very serious, then I will try to make it sooner. They...

I can't see anything about recommend sizes. Maybe because I'm. On my phone? They box says it is 9 square feet. I thought I remember reading 8 was the minimal? I could be wrong though. The cage seems very big to me. Expecially in compassion to store bought cages. But again I could be very wrong...

Have you thought about a Midwest cage? I believe they are 24x47. I liked mine a lot. It worked great when I only had two guineas.

Thank you for telling me about heart problems! I have done so much reading and never read about that before. My vet is an exotic vet for sure. I truly believe she knows her stuff. She told me that she told them when Aubrey was first brought in that she wanted to do Xrays and a culture but they...

That's true! I didn't think of that. I guess I just figured they'd have some idea of what they were doing.

It would be a long story to start from the beginning but I got my baby from a pet store (I know now how bad that is) in early June and her and her sister ended up having URI (Poor Poppy ended up passing away from this). I brought her back to the pet store because they said they would pay her vet...

My dad is going to build me a basic wooden cage for my 3 guineas. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to make it nice? I decided on not using acrylic walls because I actually like the look of all wooden cages. The bottom of the cage will still be lined with coroplast so that if pee...

(If you want to read my full story about the situation https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/threads/108243-Introducing-myself-and-my-babies!-%29 ) I was trying to get everyone's opinion if I should put my guinea pig in the same cage as my other girls. I Recently got an update that my baby Aubrey...
