Small Pet Select has some good chew toys if you want to give them a try. They have a sampler pack that I?ve been getting for my guinea pigs and they love them all. On another note, maybe she is just content with chewing on hay. I?ve noticed if my guinea pigs get bored with the hay they will...

I remember when I got one of my first guinea pigs, she would make that noise all the time. It?s like a chirping noise. I thought it was the tv/computer at first. Now since she passed on, one of my newest guinea pigs does the same thing. Not sure where she learned it from but I?ve heard it?s a...

Keep your eye on her. The first thing I noticed with my guinea pig when she was pregnant was her belly. She was nearly the same weight as my adult and when I first got her I estimated she was maybe 4 months old. But even before that she did get quite the appetite and was ALWAYS eating. Later on...

I could be wrong but I?ve heard these are really bad for guinea pigs. I use buy the one with the suet in it with hay and some sort of seeds in it labeled for guinea pigs and but not the hollow ones. Ended up throwing it away as soon as I found out they can choke on seeds and the log part is...

I refuse to buy anything from pet stores! I use to buy most of my stuff from pet stores but in the past couple years or so I?ve learned it is one of the worse things you can do. Even if you?re not buying an animal, you?re still supporting the business. Plus most of the chew toys, food, treats...

I also have only had sows. The first pair I had were together since they were little, probably since they were a few months old. They would be by eachothers side 24/7 and would even sleep together in the same hut! With that being said, I've heard that they get along better and its easier to...

In my older post, I explained how my guinea pig recently was pregnant and had babies. I decided to keep Coconut, the nearly all white (possibly silkie) with a brown spot and red eyes, as a companion. I?ve made it a point to hold her everyday to get her use to being handled. Recently the past...

She definitely has the pregnant piggy shape! From my experience, the first signs I noticed was definitely my pig?s belly increasing getting bigger than it should be for her age as a normal guinea pig. Also at that point I could tell there was movement in her belly. You should limit picking her...

She had her babies earlier tonight. 4 total and they all seem to be healthy! Thank you again for all the advice [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Yes! I actually just read about them! I'm definitely going to contact them. I'm trying to decide how far along she is. I've tried feeling for the pelvic bone separating but I'm too afraid of hurting her if I pick her up at this point with how big she is to really be able to tell. I've been able...

Thank you so very much @bpatters for all the information you have provided. I read all these posts on here and you seem to be almost like a guinea pig god! I recently moved from a small town in upstate NY to Dallas TX about 6 months ago. At the vet I brought my guinea pigs to in NY always...

UPDATE: Today I brought Iggy to the vet. I told her what I have noticed the past couple weeks. The vet performed the regular check up procedure I saw her do with Squeaky. She checked her eyes, ears, heart beat etc. In the end she said that she seems to just be gaining a lot of weight. She...

Thank you for the advice @bpatters ! I will be getting another cage to attach to the current cage tomorrow! Also I currently feed both of my guinea pigs Small Pet Select 2nd cut hay and pellets and romaine, some green peppers, and an orange sclice everyday. Since there have been issues with...

I adopted Iggy about a month ago. I picked her up the other day and couldn't help but notice how big her belly was. I can't tell if shes just really chubby and I need to change her diet or shes actually expecting. I also remembered that when I got her they also had male guinea pigs in the same...

I have 2 hideys with more than 1 entrance at the moment. I also saw the fleece forest idea and was thinking I will give that a try. Also does anybody have experience with the corner hammocks that attach in the corner? I was just wondering if they're safe? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
