Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted. Anyways, I don't know about you guys but it's really hot here in Charlotte and I'm trying to keep my guinea pig cool. There are these "ice packs" that are blue plastic small boxes which are put in the freezer and used to keep lunchboxes cold...

This morning I was cleaning my room when I heard a strange noise coming from my guinea pigs cage, he looked like he was gagging and he coughed at the end. I did some research and I think he had the hiccups. They stopped after a while then when I came back in and I heard him wheeze. He wheezed...

I am pet sitting a guinea pig and yesterday I saw something that startled me. I was changing out his bedding when I saw some brownish /Orange spots on the puppy pads under the bedding. I have heard that when guinea pig pee dries, it turns that color. Also the last time he peed it was clear and...

I am petsitting a guinea pig for two weeks. I have a single male guinea pig and the the guinea pig I am taking care of us also a male. Do you guys think it would be ok if I let them meet each other? Or will they fight/ get really depressed once the other goes back to his owner??

Hello everyone! I just wanted to know ... Are there any signs of overgrown molars? Overgrown incisors are pretty easy to detect but since the molars are hidden, is there a way to tell if a guinea pig has overgrown molars?

It was a small spot like half of a penny. Its sticky and gel like. I can't post a picture since I cleaned the cage but if I see it again I will make sure I do.

Today I was cleaning my guinea pig's cage and I found a red/brown substance in the corner. It was like the consistency of syrup but slightly thicker. I don't know what it was but I'm really scared. Besides that he's acting normal and eating a lot. Please answer this post!!

I have a small bottle of multivitamin drops. It says it includes A,C, and D. Can I give my 3 year old piggy this? If so how much?

I was just wondering.. Whats the best lettuce for guinea pigs?

Hi everyone! Today I was playing with my guinea pig and I noticed that he was raising Hus butt up funny and then reaching down. He didn't stat chewing so I know it wasnt poop that he was eating. He kind of just raises his butt up slowly and then it shakes..? Then he reaches down. I also notice...

OK thank you so much!

I've heard that pointed poop can be a sign of dehydration or some other problem in the gut. However, I was wondering if there was anything else that could cause slightly pointed poop. The poop is normal on size and consistency, it just seems as if it is "broken" at the tip. A good description is...

Hello there! I was wondering if its normal for my guinea pig's ear to twitch when he eats. I've never seen him do this before. Otherwise, he acts and eats normally. Is this a sign of something?

Thank you so much!

OK, so I just came home from school to find this. This is the smallest poop I have ever seen him make. Its the only one this size though so should I worry? The rest of his poop is the size of the larger poo. Is this normal!?
