Hello, all! I trained my fluffy baby Mocha to do this "circle" trick. Check out the video! https://youtu.be/R0xW2-UeKmE I hope you enjoy it! I'm hoping to create more content on YouTube, so if you enjoyed the video please like it and comment! Also, subscribe if you'd like to see more...

No, he was kept alone. His wheel is plastic, and I don't think there is anything he could have got caught on. I'll double check though. Before bed last night I saw him drinking some water, even though he wasn't being active, and that sparked some hope. I gave him extra tissue paper to sleep in...

Hello all, I recognise that this forum is guinea-pig oriented, but I wanted to see if any of you have experienced this with a pet mouse before. I tried searching on the internet, but couldn't really find much. A few days ago, my mouse was fine and appeared healthy. Today, I took him out of...

Anyone else? Is this something serious or should I wait to see if she gets any other symptoms? She's squinting this eye a bit as well... I think I'll call the vet up now.

Here are some pics of her gooey eyelids:

She doesn't have hair loss anywhere else. It's only around this eye. I've also noticed that her eyelids are a bit sticky and there is dried white discharge (which could just be the cleaning fluid). I just want to make sure there is actually something wrong with her before I go to the vet. I...

Hello, I noticed today that my guinea pig Mocha has some hair loss around her right eye. I have already treated all three of my piggies with iverrmectin, so I think I can rule out mites. Do you think it's fungal? If it is, I'll be taking her into the vet tomorrow. I've also noticed she has been...

A 2 by 5 should be good for three female guinea pigs, but keep in mind that bigger is better. This page has the cage size standards: https://www.guineapigcages.com/. Here is a craigslist posting in your area for a female guinea pig being re-homed: (broken link removed)

Have you treated your guinea pig for mites and/or lice? Has she been scratching a lot? If she has been treated and/or there is no excessive scratching, it could simply be shedding. Do you brush her hair often? This would help decrease the shedding.

Is your whole cage bedding? I used to have the same problem, so I ended up placing the pellet and veggie dishes in the fleece area. I only put bedding in the hay area.

They cost $7.95 each. Here's the link: https://www.uhaul.com/MovingSupplies/Protective-stuff/Furniture-Pad?id=2670 You don't need a layer of towels with the uhaul pads. I have a 2 by 6 cc cage, and one uhaul pad folded in half (so, two layers) approximately fits the whole base (the pads vary...

I've heard that using towels under the fleece stinks faster than using uhaul pads. Uhaul pads may help decrease the smell. Also, you don't need two layers of fleece. This may make it more difficult for the fleece to wick since the urine has to pass through an extra layer.

Small animals lungs, including those of rodents and birds, are very small. They can get serious respiratory issues if the air they are breathing is filled with chemicals from things like perfumes or scents in the air. It even cautions on the back of Febreze cans to not spray them around birds...

You can mix the vinegar and detergent together, or put them in the washer separately. As for the hair issue, what I do is vacuum out the inside of the washing machine before using it for human laundry. This removes any hair or hay that was still stuck on the fleece and is now on the walls of the...

Why don't you use carefresh? The national geographic bedding is more expensive. It is $17.59 (with a regular price of $21.99) for a 25L bag of the national geographic bedding, whereas it is only $21.99 for a 60L bag of the carefresh.
