Hi everyone, I recently started using (broken link removed) bedding under a layer of fleece. So far I'm very happy with its performance and intend to continue using a layer of fleece over wood pellets in future. The packaging assures that no binders or chemicals are used. As far as I can...

A bathtub should do the trick if you have one.

She is most likely lonely. Guinea pigs are very social animals, so you should probably consider getting her a friend.

Thanks for all the responses guys! @Aertyn That hay looks amazing! I'm going to try and find some of similar quality! @mejika Thanks for the link, that'll be helpful if I ever need any CC, but the expense of the timothy hay is a good reason to stick to bales from the stockfeed.

I've never seen Timothy hay for sale here in Australia and I've read that is uncommon due to being a water intensive crop. I've had my guinea pigs for around about a year now and I've fed them several types of hay during this time, mostly meadow and wheaten hay. What do you feed your guinea...

Looks lovely and spacious! You should probably plug up those gaps between some of the boards on the walls to better insulate it and prevent drafts which could cause illness (I can see two in the first picture).

I would definitely try contacting the SPCA or this could continue to be an ongoing (and expensive) problem for you if this woman is breeding them. They may or may not be able to help you but it can't hurt to try. Good work on taking care of Dominic though! Hope he recovers quickly!

Grass, provided it is untreated.

Yes I thought they looked unsuitable for those reasons, I wonder if anyone has told him/her. That looks pretty interesting, perhaps I'll give it a go. Currently I just fleece throughout with no designated kitchen area. I'm always looking to make the cage better and easier to clean however...

So I was looking on Facebook for Guinea Pig related pages and came across this: https://www.facebook.com/GuineaGuineaChannel It's got some cute little comics on it but what interests me is the kind of flooring that the cages have: I took a look through the comments and apparently they're...

Okay, awesome, that's what I did. :)

Gumtree is an Australian sale site that I frequently check to see what guinea pigs people are selling and rehoming. I've seen some bad ads before, but these look pretty awful: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/seville-grove/other-pets/guinea-pig-farm/1045083939...

So many cute piggies! Makes me want to get more, but two is enough at the moment. Here are my two boars, Teddy (left) and Chewie (right):

It's made of plastic. It's a kids toy I had before I got the pigs and I figured they might enjoy it. They prefer fully enclosed spaces, like the boxes, but they occasionally sit in it. It's more for me than for them :P

Here you go! :)
