Just done Loki & Moki together, they were all fine up until I tried to dry them and then they were wriggly little devils. But I've given them a new extra big cuddle sack to say sorry for the hair trimming & baths and they seem pretty content now :p

Well, the first bath was successful! I thought I'd ease myself into it by doing Peanut first. He LOVED it. He was walking around not bothered at all, sat still and let me wash him but he wasn't a fan of the drying part.. Now to take on the other two! They're a bit weirded out by Peanuts new...

I am about to give the boys their first bath because they are getting really dirty (I don't know how since their cage is clean, but I'm thinking they roll in their pee and poo like dogs). Anyone got any tips for a somewhat relaxed happy bath? I want to make them as comfortable as possible...

If I had enough money for more than 4 piggy's I'd have more than that! ;D I'm going having a look at some little girls a friend of mine rescued to see if they'll fit with my bullied boy. If so, he's going to get neutered soon so he can have a girlfriend :) I really though "I'll just have two...

I've had my pigs for nearly 7 weeks now - starting with my two boys Loki & Moki. I then spotted this adorable little love bug when I was on my daily rescue watch (I should probably stop doing that), and so Peanut came home with me to live with his two brothers in his 3x5 piggy mansion. It was...

I've got a red (or pink, I can't tell the difference) eyed white piggy that I adopted recently and named Peanut. He is approx. 12 weeks old and I've started to notice that he looks around and sniffs a lot. He acts differently to the other two. If I approach with my hand at the side of him it...

I got my grids from Wayfair for just over £30 for 20 & my correx from The One Stop Plastic Shop as it was pretty cheap.

The vet also recommended putting a vitamin C tablet in his water so he "doesn't get depressed", I've read on here not to do that but other than that he seemed pretty cavy savvy. He does look rather down compared to yesterday (he's no longer with his brothers) but will extra vitamin C really help...

Peanut has what looks like the early stages of a URI. (Sneezing, runny nose) but is perfectly healthy otherwise, which means we caught it early and he should be perfectly fine! He's had a baytril injection and has got two doses for the next two days. I ended up breaking down crying in the vets...

I've also noticed that one of his eyes sticks out a bit more than the other. Is there anything that could have caused it or is this normal? We're off to the vets soon to get him checked out so I'll let you all know what he says when we get back. Fingers crossed its something easily treatable :-)

@Nessy - I recently broke my foot and I'm in a cast so getting right in the corner was a pain. Apart from that it kept the hay mess in one area (yay!) and the majority of poops were only in one other corner. I'll probably put mine back on after I get this stupid cast off though :-)

My pigs quite like zooming up and down the ramp, but definitely prefer having their food within stretching distance :p Some pigs will never use a ramp, it all depends on your piggies. I had a 2x2 loft on a 3x5 cage and cleaning was a nightmare. They seem to zoom around and popcorn more without...

@Nessy I was thinking that, it seems to have calmed down a bit now though. He was sneezing at least once every 10 minutes, but now not as often so I'm hoping the change in environment, different smells ect is what set him off. Now I'm noticing a bit of scratching too, poor piggy. He looks and...

I recently got another guinea pig for my two boys (he was quarantined at his last home so I could I introduce him straight away as I didn't have enough space for two cages) and I hadn't noticed any sneezing when I picked him up or on the way home. I did proper introduction and they went AMAZING...

Woo! I bought a bag of care fresh for the upper level but it was so annoying, so not to waste it I've had it in the boys cage for over a week now. No smell whatsoever, and I didn't even have to spot clean much. They popcorned a bit, but I really didn't like the weird smell. But now the fleece is...
