I never post on here but have frequenctly referred to this forum for help with our piggos over the years, so it feels right to post something. Our sweetheart Aiden had to be put down today. He had had a mass growing on his side that we surgically removed. The surgery went fine, but we think that...

Nope, nothing's changed about what he's eating. I'll do those checkups and clean up everything, thanks for the link!

Recently my guinea pig Jim has displayed a little big of difficultly pooping, wheaking a little when he starts to do so. His poops have also gotten oddly shaped -- they're no longer one smooth, slightly curved shape, but instead are very lumpy, thicker, and less firm. I tried checking his anal...

"(broken link removed) wrote: I would think not. I think it would be way too hot during the middle of the day." I live where it's usually raining, and when it isn't it's usually just average weather. meaning that usually Corey wouldn't get overheated. Plus, the piggy cage that we have has a top...

I was thinking about trying this when the weather is nice and on a day when we're always going be be home and close to Corey. What I was thinking of trying is to have Corey spend the day outside! Checked on every 15-30 minutes, of course, but still, outside for the whole day. I wanted to know if...

OK, thanks. :) So that's all I need to do?

Well, I don't have fleece big enough to go to the sides of the cage. Probably not going to, just because of the difficulties that would present after already have cutting my fleece. :) I'll put towels under the fleece the next time I change it.

OK, so I need some tips on how to make the fleece I have work. Should have done more research before switching, but I've already switched and currently have 5 pieces of nice, soft green fleece. And that's what I use as bedding, currently. One piece of fleece, and that's it. There is one, main...

Update: mom has vetoed the C&C cage. I am in the process of writing a persuasive essay to convince her. Also, I have fleeced Corey's current cage! Oh, and mom says that we didn't get him a petstore cage, we bought a SPECIAL one meant for 2 pigs. Me: It's still a petstore cage, and I still think...

Uhh... I think he got Pneumonia, along with he got a cancer that destroyed his immune system. Don't know the exact details, though.

OK, so where can you find grids for cheap? Also, how should I furnish the cage? I currently only have a tunnel and pigloo in Corey's (my guinea pig's) cage, though I'm sure if I dug around I could find a few more things. And, why is the salt block bad? The big, expensive vet bills that my...

Considering remodeling my guinea pigs cage! Currently, my single guinea pig is in a petstore cage, with CareFresh bedding used as bedding, no seconds layers, a pigloo, and a tunnel, along with a salt block, hay rack, and water bottle. I'm thinking of changing to a C&C cage, and using fleece as...

I say I'm a vegetarian, but I'm technically not, I'm pesetarian (however you spell that >.< It's prononced like: pes-ge-tarian) because I eat fish. I'll go around saying that I'm vegetarian because most people probably don't know what a pesetarian is. I guess I'm a liar. :p Vegetarians can/will...

I live on tofurky! Not kidding. XD It's yummy. Plus, I hate Kale. :3

I only have one piggie. I would love to have 3 or 4, and if I had unlimited money I'd want to have 10! :p We used to have two, but Brian cost a lot of money in vet bills, and now my dad won't let us get the remaining pig, Corey, a companion. :(
