Hello I am fairly new to this wonderful community so am unsure how many things work, this thread probably belongs in medical but I already posted yesterday on medical on behalf of a vet diagnosis, and the rules say you can only have one thread, and I could not figure out how to edit. Anyhow this...

I am beyond broken hearted, a couple weeks back me and my mom noticed Elvis had a fat toe on his back foot so we started soaking it in a saline solution and today finally went to the vet. Today the vet informed me that he had a cracked toe and it would just take time to heal, but it would...

Thank you everyone for all the advice it truly means a lot, sorry it's been so long since I have responded computer has been giving out. As for Elvis age the bet estimates that he is about 8 months. I have thought of a divider but as the cage is precisely the minimum for 2 Guinea pigs according...

Thank you for the kind word @Amanda Marie it makes me feel better that there is someone who understands and I intend to keep trying, I just feel bad that it will take so long since the adoption center gets limited pigs.

Has anyone ever had a very aggressive guinea pig before?, because my male Elvis seems determined to fight. I brought him home him on May 11, 2015, and been seeking a partner for him, well I live in a very small town where there isn't any adoption centers that have guinea pigs so I have to travel...

Thanks for all the responses, I just bought a fleece blanket and I will see if that and more frequent changes of the blanket will help, i will also investigate a litter box

bpatters your post is very insightful, maybe the material does not wick enough, I know the pee goes under because the towel gets very wet, but I should have got fleece in the first place, I'm not sure if it makes much difference?

Pinky I will try a litter box that is a very good idea, and yes he does sit in the pee soaked area I know its not his fault, I mean I could do more frequent cleanings if it helps, as well, but I just want to know if the type of material has an impact, I see here in this forum it says to use...

CavieGuy I don't even think the material is fleece, I think that is my error!

Hello, I am new to the Guinea Pig world and recently I noticed my male piggy Elvis has very smelly feet, his feet smell like pee very badly, could it be the blanket, I have a blanket that is 100% polyester, I don't think its fleece though, and under I have a towel, Elvis likes to sit in one...

Alright so I will expand, even if I get a sow, thank you :)

I understand bpatters, I feel terrible, but I won't ever make that mistake again, however since I already bought him there is nothing I can do to mend the wrong I did, all I can do is learn from my mistakes, and get him a partner from a shelter when I find one available.

Thank you tobyandheidi, and I will definitely search for a partner for him, but from a shelter, I feel really bad about adopting from a pet store I know they are horrible, but I fell so completely in love with him, and I am willing to spend and do whatever for him, will the cage dimensions be...

Thank you for the kind advice! I can't wait to meet more kind members and show pictures of him when he calms down a bit, he has a very nice cage it has two floors, no wire bottom! and I am using a fleece baby blanket with a towel under, its 30x54 so he has a ton of space, he really likes having...

Hello my name is April, and I just got my piggy Elvis, I have read a lot of books before bringing a piggy home, so I know all the essentials of care,however this boy was rescued from a pet shop, I know, I know, before anyone tells me the horrors of a pet shop, listen to my story first, I was...
