    Cage Lixit Critter Hollow

    I love the critter hollows. I wasn't able to put in a request for what color I wanted and I ended up with one pink and one green. I would have preferred two green, but it is what it is. Right now I only needed one, so the pink one is put away till later. If it bothers me, I might make a cover...

    Cage Is my cage big enough?

    I had two boars in a 24"x48" cage while they were babies. When they hit adolescence, that was definitely not enough room to keep them happy with each other (which I expected and knew I would expand)! It took 16 sq. ft. of cage space for my boys to be able to coexist happily. Unfortunately, boars...

    Behavior Iv'e had my piggies for almost three days now. How long until they will let me pet th

    I've had my boars since October and they will still run when I go to pick them up. Once I have a hold on them, they are fine and content to sit on my lap for awhile. You just have to get used to picking them up and they have to get used to being picked up. :)

    Biting Calico is biting - and broke skin on MY finger, now what?

    This was probably a fluke. She was probably just wound up from the cleaning and this was the time she bit. If it happens again, I would lay off letting her nibble you. As for the wound, you should be fine as long as you keep it clean. Watch for seeping or bad smells that could mean an infection.

    Water Tap water help?

    We have a water cooler that we refill 5 gallon reverse osmosis water in for the whole family. The dogs and piggies also get the ro water in gallon jugs because our city water seems to have a high amount of chlorine in it and I don't want to risk it. Refilling the jugs is the best option for us...

    Adopting Just adopted 2 wonderful guinea pigs but am I allergic?

    The only time I have seen guinea pigs climb is when a male is trying to get to a female. If you don't have that problem, then the topless cage should be fine!

    Behavior Ease his mind

    It took my daughter two months offering veggies to convince our boy, Jack, that she wasn't going to get him. Now he comes to her as soon as she gets up to the cage and even lets her pet him. It will just take some time!

    I love the hidey apartments at the end of your cage! All the girls hanging out in that is too cute. :)

    Midwest Midwest Cage Expansion!

    Tomorrow is the big day! My two boys will be getting a new Midwest Cage to expand their current Midwest Cage. I'm going with the "L" shape and the tables are all ready for the new addition. I looked at getting the C&C cage, but the set up was going to be pricey. So for now they will have to be...

    Other Water bottle frustration

    Do you think he would leave one of those fleece pee pads under the water bottle? It wouldn't help with the empty water bottle, but at least it would save the bedding and the hay.

    Fleece Looking for fleece flippers?

    I use a layer of pee pads, then a layer of newspaper, and then fleece. I keep my fleece clipped up on the sides of the cage liner with binder clips. My piggies leave the clips alone and then I know they are not getting under the fleece to chew on the pee pads.

    Dominance Boys Will Be Boys, Or...

    I won't separate them unless things turn bloody! As of right now they have calmed down and have chosen their hidey holes. Thanks again! I was hoping that I was worrying needlessly.
