I would get her checked out at the Vet just in case...they will be able to determine if she is pregnant or is coming down with some kind of illness.

So precious! Congrats on your new lap piggies!!! Its always a joy when you can finally hold them for the first time <3

Me and my boyfriend are still new to the "cavy world" We watched one tutorial on how to clean a pigs butt and their genital area. What would be the best approach to doing this without causing harm to our piggies and how often does this need to be done? What would be the most effective solution...

I did see the one on the other side, but it wasn't dark.

Thought I would post pictures of my pigs. Stellar is brown and white, Gizmo is black and white, and Botan was orange and white.

I found this dark spot on the belly of my pig. Is this this grease gland or something I should see the vet about?

Well Stellar has a friend that we adopted from the Humane Society and turns out Stellar has a fever with ammonia. The doctor prescribed so antibiotics for him that he takes orally twice a day for a week. I fed him a half slice of orange and some bell peppers. He is just resting right now but the...

I have been doing a lot of research on depression in guinea pigs...Is it possible that my guinea pig is just depressed over losing his companion 4 days ago? I have been trying to feed him the foods he likes. He enjoys carrots but I feed him those three times a week. 1 to 2 small carrots each. He...

Hi guinea pig lovers...We adopted a black and white guinea pig that is 6 months old and bites on the cage bars and runs around like crazy. I have been trying to give him lots of floor time to run out all his energy. Introduced him to my other 6 month old pig and they were chasing each other...

Hi Jenise805, welcome to the "Cavy World" When I first got my two guinea pigs...they were also a bit skittish, but overtime they started establishing trust with me because I would make an effort to hold them daily. Never approach a guinea pig from the back because they will automatically assume...

I have a cage that is similar to this one except I don't have a cage stand like this. I have been wanting to get a C and C cage but not sure whether I want to get the Deluxe or standard C&C cage. I love the tunnel forest idea and I love how spacious the cage is. My two guinea pigs would love it...

@PiggieGuinea I probably worded some things on accident so thanks for correcting me. My guinea pigs seem to know their names when I call them but every cavy is different. :)

Yesterday, we went to the Humane Society and adopted a new 6 month old male guinea pig. We named him gizmo because he is super fast and is hard to catch when we want to hold him lol. He is a black and white cavy and we decided to separate the two pigs for 3 weeks for the quarantine period. We...

Hi, I am new to the Cavy world too but I promise you this website will benefit you greatly and tell you everything you need to know about what are proper methods of handling guinea pigs, building trust with them, the right treats to give them etc. My advice to you would be allowing your guinea...

Hello! I joined this website yesterday and wasn't aware that cabbage and spinach could result in major gas and digestive problems. Everything we were feeding our guinea pigs was wrong, because we were ignorant about true guinea pig care. I was basing my knowledge off of a book I purchased at the...
