    Hows she doing?

    Injury Broken leg

    It's only been roughly three weeks? I know he's feeling better but personally, I'd wait at least another 1-2 weeks. It's not worth the risk having him re-break it in my opinion.

    Skin Problems Please help, Guinea pig ears going black

    It looks like a fungal infection to me. I'm not an expert on this, but if you go to a local pharmacy and buy a topical ointment such as miconozole, and apply sparingly and thoroughly to his ears, it should help. It takes time and you need to be sure its rubbed in well so he or his cagemate can't...

    Ive seen piggies that enjoy stacking cups. Also stuffing toilet paper tubes with hay seems to be a fun activity for my boys to try and deconstruct.

    General Large clumps of poop, sluggish behavior?

    Thank you for the update, and the vet recommendation. One can never have access to enough exotic vets especially in Southern Ontario, so it's nice to know there are options within a short driving distance when the proverbial poop hits the fan! Glad to hear Gaffer is improving, keep the updates...

    Simon.....I'm sorry. I love you buddy.

    Sounds exactly like Simon. One of his nicknames was, "The Incredible Shrunken Wheekmonster." He was the smallest pig I've ever had by far, with the biggest set of lungs of all. I could hear him three floors down in the basement doing laundry when he was yelling for a treat. He was a big...

    Is the pig in your avatar 8 bit? He bears a very striking resemblance to my recently departed baby boy Simon. He was also a Lunkarya.
