    Keeping Cool What's the best way to keep guinea pigs cool?

    The place that I'm living in is about 75-85 degree. It lasts around 4months. Can you guys suggest some ways to keep my pigs cool? Is a fan going to help? I heard some people said put a ice bottle wrapped by a towel, but is it going to be too wet or humid? Thanks T_T

    Frustrated What can I do if I'm out of town for 48hours?

    Fresh Food My vet told me lettuce is not a good food for guinea pig...is it true?

    He said I should feed them vegetables that are "dark green" color, he told me vegetables that are "light green" or "white" don't have a lot of vitamin C, they are mostly water without any nutrition, is that true??Thanks ^_^

    Frustrated Does guinea pig really need timothy hay?

    I feel like my pigs don't really like timothy hay, they only eat the "flower" and always leave the "hard" part.

    Frustrated Switching from carefresh bedding to cloth....?

    Hi everyone, I have two pigs and have been thinking about switching from carefresh bedding to cloth. What's the down side of using a cloth for bedding? I'm considering it because it's cheaper and easier to clean (maybe). Please give me some opinions, thanks, have a great weekend ^_^
