Thank you so much! She's still too flighty to take food from my hand so I'm giving her some space. Tomorrow we're going to get smaller grids because she's such a small baby and she can slip through inch squares and she'll be in her quarantine phase for 3 weeks and then I'll attempt to introduce...

I got a second Guinea pig today and in 3 weeks (she's in a separate cage at the moment) I'll introduce her to my other baby, Meridia. When we went to get Dibella, the new baby, today, she was with another Guinea pig. I could only get one so I decided to get her because she came over to look at...

Thank you! I was just wondering because when Aela was very young (less than a year old) she was barely handled and she wasn't skittish at all. She came to see what everybody was doing all the time. I've been talking to her very softly and trying to get her used to my scent and voice. Thank you...

So a little over a week ago my Guinea pig for a very long time passed away. It was so heart breaking and I started getting depressed but I was supposed to go on vacation so I did. It helped a lot. Well, sometime over that vacation my mom got a baby Guinea pig and planned on getting another when...

they checked everything they could. They listened to her breathing and checked her teeth. She was eating everything but her pellets. And she was drinking. I was giving her a special diet spoon fed to her twice a day that was given by the vet the first time. No matter what we did that the vet...

So I have a very sad update. My mom finally agreed to take her to the vet and so we took her to the exotic vet. And when we got there they could tell something was wrong. They still couldn't find anything and they said there was nothing they could do. They said we could continue her on...

it was an exotic vet. There's only 2 near me and one is extremely expensive. I don't have anybody (adult wise) to talk to because I'm homeschooled. The only person I have to talk to about it is my boyfriend

shes eating only veggies, she leaves her pellets alone. And she only ate a little over half of her veggies from this morning. I don't know how old she is, but when we got her she was already full grown so I'm assuming she's pretty old. I think I might have to sell something to be able to pay...

A few weeks ago my piggie, Aela (whom I've had for 3 years) started developing signs of a URI. I begged my mom to help pay for her to go to the vet, and it took 3 hours of her screaming at me before she finally agreed. We went and the vet said there was nothing wrong with her. She gave us...

Having a coverup they can go to is always a necessary thing. Sun can hurt all guinea pigs in general so make sure you have igloos, and a towel/blanket draped over one portion of the gates. Also, has the grass been treated with insecticides? It would be very bad for them since guinea pigs love...

How long have you had them? Having water in a bowl is super unsanitary and you should try to ween them off of it immediately. I have rats and guinea pigs and neither will drink from a bottle if its on the inside of their cage, or if its too high. So i had to cut a hole in the chloroplast in my...

My guinea pig makes that sound as a way to tell me "hey back off or i will bite you". She's never bitten ME, though. One time i was on vacation with friends and i brought her to my mom to take care of since she is the closest to my little Aela, and my mom told me she bit her once as a warning...

My piggy LOVES to groom herself. I've had her checked for mites as i was scared too, but she just loves to clean herself. If i'm watching tv or playing a video game and shes sprawled out on my chest, she'll start cleaning herself every 20 minutes or so. If she's not doing it every chance she...

I have seen deformation where they're neck is slightly tilted, but its most likely something that you'll want to bring up with a vet. It could be normal, but i would just want a second "ok" to be sure he's ok. Good luck!

So recently i have noticed that my guinea pig has been pooping an awful lot, like its not too soft or hard, but she's going to the bathroom every few minutes, which isn't normal for her. I also cleaned her cage just a few minutes ago, and i noticed that when i was cleaning her "potty corner"...
