    Behavior Guinea Pig Randomly Freezes

    I've noticed that one of my pigs, Loki, will randomly just freeze for no apparent reason. I've had him for over a year now and he's comfortable with me, like when I go up to the cage he usually runs up to the bars and wheeks at me or he will run over to his hut and poke his head out and wheek at...

    General Drinking a lot and dry poop

    Okay, thanks for letting me know. And wow, I didn't know that. On the packaging for the wet-tail drops I bought it said it was for guinea pigs and how deadly it was. I guess they were just trying to sell their product. Thank you for letting me know so I don't have to worry about that any more...

    General Drinking a lot and dry poop

    Yeah I've been keeping an eye on his weight and it hasn't changed. Like I said, he seems physically fine in every sense. He definitely hasn't lost weight. So I don't think it's diabetes, but might I ask what steps do you take afterwards if you find out your guinea pig has diabetes? He already...

    General Drinking a lot and dry poop

    Yes. In the morning they get a cucumber slice and a piece of carrot and either red lettuce or green lettuce. In the afternoon they get either red lettuce or green lettuce, a piece of celery, a bell pepper slice, and a cherry tomato. They get 1/8 cup of Oxbow guinea pig cuisine pellets I believe...

    General Drinking a lot and dry poop

    So my one pig Loki drinks so much. I constantly hear him at his water and I time how long he just sits there and drinks and a lot of times it’s five minutes or more. I’ve had him for around a year and he’s always drank a lot but he’s just been drinking so much lately i find myself constantly...

    Chewing Guinea pig is eating weird. Potential dental issue?

    i figured it wouldn’t really be possible to look at the teeth. he just finished his vegetables and I heard him eating his pellets so I went to look and he appears to be eating perfectly normal now?? He’s not wiping at his face or tilting his head. Do you think there still might be something...

    Chewing Guinea pig is eating weird. Potential dental issue?

    My guinea pig Bugsby ate completely fine early today and a little bit ago I gave them their pellets. He always goes straight to his pellets and eats but this time he didn’t really want to. I was immediately concerned and went and got them dinner. He always eats his vegetables. I brought it up to...

    Sounds Constant wheeking

    I’m afraid I can’t. i don’t understand how he would be lonely though. Like I said, he did this when he was with the others and I honestly don’t think he is capable of being with another pig because of the way he just lashes out at them for literally no reason. He acts happier when he’s away...

    Sounds Constant wheeking

    He is currently alone because he gets in very vicious fights with the others, like very loud teeth chattering and lunging. His cage is right next to theirs though. But when he was managing to get along with the others and was in a cage with another guinea pig he still constantly wheeked. I...

    Sounds Constant wheeking

    I had my pigs for a while now, and they typically wheek when it?s time to eat and when I?m bringing them their food. One of my pigs though was always a bit annoying. He has a very loud, high pitch wheek that you can literally hear all through my upstairs and was cute at first when he only did it...

    Play High jumping guinea pig!

    I was curious how high a normal guinea pig jumps. Thor is about 7 months now, he's still fairly small but I've noticed he can jump really high. When he was just a baby he was able to jump up on top of his pigloo, a large one about 7 and a half inches tall. My other two pigs don't really jump...

    Dominance Guinea pig wont stop mounting new one

    Okay, thank you. I just can’t seem to figure out why all of a sudden Thor and Loki were fighting. I’ll just have to keep trying with them and hope it works out.

    Dominance Guinea pig wont stop mounting new one

    I have not said at all that Im trying to put all three together! I’m asking if there’s anyway I can make Thor and Loki work out.....

    Dominance Guinea pig wont stop mounting new one

    that’s the thing, I can’t seem to get any combination to work. Like I said, I think I might manage to get Thor and Bugsby to work out, but Loki is the one I’m worried about because he seems very depressed by himself but he isn’t getting along with either of the others but I cannot get another...

    Dominance Guinea pig wont stop mounting new one

    Im having issues with dominance again! Thor and Loki havent been getting along lately, then I unfortunately had to separate them because thor had and abscess which popped. My vet thinks it was Loki who bit him and caused the abscess because he had two holes where the abscess was and I think he...
