Currently our two pigs are using a mix of carefresh and kiln dried pine. I have been contemplating fleece and will probably try it out this summer. However I had an odd thought: Can you do Fleece over wood shavings? ie replace the absorbent layer of towels with pine or aspen? I am looking...

Thank you. They have always had an alternative spot to hide other than the home. This is the first time one took up permanent rather than temporary residence. They now have 2 identical homes (and of course they are now both in the same one).

We have 2 boars that are about 3 months old. We have 1 wood hiding thing (House) in their cage. It is not huge so it is quite cozy for the 2 of them inside. This has worked so far. However for the last day one has adopted the tunnel as their house while the other stays in the wooden house. This...

Thank you for the feedback. I am 100% certain that there are 3 places for a 1x1 and 95% certain there is 1 place that will fit a 1x2 in the car. Going to be doing some testing later. This is the reason I asked about both.

If one made a 1x1 or 1x2 C&C cage with grids on the bottom would this work as a travel cage? Probably higher than the regular 6 inch sides for the Coroplast.

on this page Pet Store Cages there is a dead link to (broken link removed) in reference to exposed wood. Is exposed wood a problem because of of liquid absorbency and possible harmful wood oils? or is there another reason?

Thank you. The wood shavings took forever. I will probably need a second composter not only for the volume but also for a longer cycle of break down.

When I was young we had guinea pigs and we used wood shavings over newspaper. The cleaning ritual involved carrying the cage (sans piggies) out to the compost, dumping the shavings and paper etc. We are getting ready to adopt and I have been looking at all of the alternatives now available...

https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/kitchen/20501-petstore-breeding-care-housing-disaster-threads.html Thanks. Thanks also for the info about rabbits and Guinea Pigs. I have never been in a situation where I would have a rabbit and guinea pig to deal with at the same time so I have never...

We are going to adopt a pair of cavies soon. My daughter's friend who lives close by has a hamster. Now my initial reaction is that they will have no contact with each other and really I don't care how much whining goes on about it. Does anyone have any factual information on the subject? I...
