Hi everyone! So I was trimming my guinea pigs' nails yesterday and I noticed the bottoms of their feet were abnormally dry. There was no discoloration, swelling, or hanging skin. But, they seemed very dry and did not feel as soft as usual; it was more of the white/cracked skin we(humans) get...

spy9doc Nikkipig yes! it's amazing! I just used some of my coconut oil (100% of course) to clean her ears and it did wonders; she had SO much wax. Her black ear may not be fully cleaned though because I can't really see all of the black wax on the black ear, but i could definitely see huge...

pinky Soecara thank you so much for the advice! I had a feeling coconut oil was the safest. and yes i use the 100% virgin pure unrefined organic coconut oil and it works great for many other uses so I would definitely feel comfortable using that. Thanks again! :)

Hi everyone! So I'm steadily realizing water is not working to solely clean my piggies ears. I was just wondering what you guys used to clean your piggies ears? Do you use oil and if so which oil? I am familiar with olive oil for hair and cooking. I'm also familiar with coconut oil as a masking...

okay thanks so much! It's so weird how my peruvian has so much wax but i haven't had to clean my abyssinians ears once. I have been able to clean her ears a few times but lately she's been acting up. and yea we have grooming day too! but I mainly just have that day to give them a "bath"/clean...

Alright, thank you so much! Do you think this is something I would need to see a vet for? I'm what most people would call over cautious haha

Alright, thank you so much! I was able to start a new thread but it doesn't show up when I click "view all my threads"? haha there's so much to look at!

Hi everyone! Forgive me if I do something wrong…I just joined the forum a few minutes ago. I am a little concerned about one of my guinea pig's ear wax. She is a Peruvian and I have read that long haired piggies have more wax buildup. But, her wax is black. She has one white ear and one...

Thanks so much! I do have a quick question…would you know how to start a new thread? I can't seem to find the right button ;)

Hey guys! I'm new to forums altogether but I can't wait to start many new discussions with you all about our lovely best friends, guinea pigs! I have two pigs: Coco and Chanel. They are both one year old; Coco is a tricolor Abyssinian and Chanel is a black and white Peruvian. If you have any...
