I was able to get her back in the cage, she looked very scared and wouldn't get away from the door even to eat, so I took her out again. Has anyone ever had this problem? I think I am going to move her cage to the back of the room, just to see if its something with where her cage is. She has...

I am going to take her to the vet soon, tomorrow or the next day. I already tried taking things out and she always has a hidey by her food, but she is friendly and usually never runs when I walk up to her, she usually greets me. I can't even get her back in the cage, so I had to put her in a...

I don't know what's wrong with my geriatric piggy Treenie. I think something is wrong with her left eye. I heard a noise in the piggy room and went to see what was wrong, the C&C grids were dis connected and when I fixed it and tried to put Treenie in her eyes got so big and she sprung out of...

For the first question, if they seem to be okay with the babies, then they should be fine in the same cage. Given its large enough. If you don't want the babies, you can always call them and they will take the babies when they are ready to leave. As for the third question, I have no idea...

I just get regular timothy hay from Walmart. It is usually very nice and fresh looking.

@Kim37040 Me too. At least I know they are being well cared for with me.

Well it turns out that what I thought the perfect family for my 2 pigs, wasn't so perfect. The lady who had bought them for her daughters and said she had guinea pigs as an adult, was clueless. She didn't know what hay to give them or that they need it ALL the time. She gave them about 3 cups of...

Gwen and Treenie have been getting along so well! I had to sell Carmelle and Penelope though, I couldn't have all 4 of them and give them the attention they needed. I couldn't have asked for a better home too! I think the lady who bought them was maybe a past member of this site. She had guinea...

I spot clean everyday, which is brushing out all of the poos and then taking all the fleece/under layers and washing them once a week. There are a lot of different options for cleaning your cage, sometimes you just have to find what works for you.

@CanadianComforts I don't want to bash any rescue because obviously they care enough about the animals to even take them in in the first place. I know she means well, I just thought that this would be something to share to make people more aware that they should adopt animals needing homes...

@2198lindsey Ditto to the fostering part.

@GuineaGal2013 OMG! She is soooooooooooooo cute! You are too lucky. What a sweet little face and funny little crest. If I were there I would have to take the whole litter!

@2198lindsey The shed is packed, how would you even clean that? How would you tell which one is acting odd when they are sick. You couldn't and she should not take in any more until she finds a lot of them homes. @CanadianComforts I know that she doesn't get many donations and the ones she...

It may be bloat, some cases could be very serious. I suggest taking her in to an exotic vet. Is there any chance she may be pregnant?

I was browsing some youtube videos for some new cage ideas and I came across one of piggiepigpigs's videos. I am a fan of hers, but I think that rescue was boderline cruelty. It was like she was walking into a sea of pigs. Please check out the video and if you live near Nottingham, please help...
