Hi all, Thanks for all the help and advice here. I have one more question regarding mom. Its been two weeks, and Mom Zoey still seems like her back legs are sore. Right after the babies were born, she seemed very stiff, and instead of walking one leg at a time, her back legs moved together like...

Today we came home from work to find that our second piggie, Izzie, had given birth to two adorable babies! Here are their first photos... The second one looks like it might be part Texel? At least, from my limited knowledge of curly haired piggies. Anyone who knows more willing to guess?

Good news! I got a digital scale today, and the little one is actually much bigger than I first thought! I probably misread our old, cheapo scale in my rush to get tiny back to mom, who was misisng her baby! It turns out, our runt actually weighs 57g, as of today. Not ideal, no, but not such a...

Hi all! Our new guinea Zoey just delivered today while we were away at work! We were being to worry, she was sooo uncomfortable! But, now we have three beautiful little ones! Couple of questions - how long will mama take to recover? She has been walking funny (more of a hop) since her pubic...

I've done both. The biggest plus for just fleece, to me, is that when I change it out, I don't even have to wipe down the empty choroplast, because NOTHING got through. However, with the flippers, things work their way down between, and I have to spray/wash the choro. That being said... The...

Hi all, We recently got two pregnant girls, and the more pregnant they get, they snippier they are with each other. It is mostly Zoey (who is carrying 3-4), bossing around Izzy (who's only carrying 1-2). Some of that is normal dominance behavior, I'm sure, but some of it seems a bit mean! Its...

@spydoc, where do you buy yours?

@spy9doc, thanks so much for the tip! We will try bluegrass, because he is definitely allergic to the hay, but he is also allergic to just them and gets itchy from touching them if he doesn't wash after! @pinky that's so cute! Too bad she had to get rid of some, but I'll bet she collects more...

:) It is a pet name. Its what I use for him when I refer to him online instead of repeating "My husband" over and over! We got a pair of happy-meal penguins when we were first dating, and used to send each other pictures of them in funny settings. Ever since, we've been penguin crazy! Now guinea...

@ShadeyPig, they didn't seem to think this was strange at all. I'm guessing all the girls they have end up pregnant, because they all are housed together! They offered to buy the pups back, of course, but I certainly don't think I want to do that! Hopefully we'll find good homes for them all!

Hi everyone! I'd like to introduce you to my family! There's myself and Mr. Penguin, and our two lovely girls, Izzy and Zoey. Mr. Penguin and I decided we wanted a pet, but weren't allowed cats or dogs in our rental house. Our very sweet landlord had no objection to piggies, after we showed her...
