    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    Thank you very much, and yes my backyard is private, there is a large long walkway type area on each side of my house where the gates are where people can look through and the only thing you can see from there is the shed and the water tank but because of my front yard garden you have to walk...

    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    You obviously haven't read my replies properly as I have stated that when I am not home they will be inside and they will be coming inside at around 3-4pm EVERY evening. So do not try to twist my words and make me feel bad for what I am doing.

    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    I think I know my area? The living area where I spend most my day has wide windows and sliding doors where I can perfectly see my pigs so somebody stealing them isn't of concern, they are also not far from the door either so I can see them popping their heads up. And I know about fly stroke...

    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    They absolutely love each other, they were ignoring each other at first but were soon climbing, cuddling and chasing each other everywhere. It even got to the point were Percy was ignoring his favourite treats so he could eat the same thing Perry (the new addition) was eating. There were only a...

    Bonding Bonding with new Guinea pig

    Thank you so much, Perry (the new addition) arrived today and they absolutely love each other. And you were absolutely right although Perry is still in the process of warming up to me Percy has absolutely become more confident he walked up to me and started licking my hand and trying to get...

    I just bought the new addition (Perry) home from someone on Gumtree, and I'm on the coastal side of NSW. My brother works at Bunnings so he will be picking up the materials for me with his employee discount. I'm not planning on leaving them out in the summer unless the weather is pretty decent...

    Hi, I don't know if you read the rest of the replies but I just got my boy a cage mate:) I also just wanted to ask if you have ever been to Australia because it sounds like you are going off of stereotypes. The only time you would face these 'dangerous reptiles' is if you live more in the...

    I'm from Australia so Craigslist isn't really a thing people use, and I just bought my little fella from someone who's Guinea pig had just had a litter and was looking to get rid of him on a website called Gumtree (it's basically the same as Craigslist. And as for the cc cage my brother has told...

    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    My nearest shelter is about 30 minutes from me and looking online the closest Guinea pig rescue is about five hours away, so with my mum as annoyed as she is about the situation there is definitely no way she is driving me for ten hours and I don't have my provisional licence yet so that's not...

    Bonding Bonding with new Guinea pig

    So I have one piggie at the moment and am on the hunt for another boy and I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for bonding with them both as I have only had my first piggie for a week now and I'm still in the process of getting to know him. My worry is the balance between bonding with the...

    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    The hutch I've been looking doesn't have a floor so I don't think it would get ruined, plus my brother is picking me up some sort of cover (I can't remember what it's called) from his work that deters bugs and other pests. I was also planning on bringing them inside of an evening and they would...

    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    Thank you so much for the advice, I've spoken to my mum about it and I asked her to look up this stuff letting her know that Percy is very scared of just about everything which I have learnt comes with being a lone guineapig and although she is slightly annoyed she said I need to find out if I...

    Behavior Lonely guineapig?

    Hi, so I just joined this site as I have recently bought my first guineapig earlier this week, I have wanted one for years so I've been pretty excited but what I wanted to ask is about the health of my piggie as he is going to be on his own. I've been reading a lot about how you should have at...
