Your pigs are cute! btw, are they under a year old? they can get their heads stuck between the bars if so. You will have to double-layer the grids off-center or cover the outside with hardware cloth.

They are on fleece, and now that I think of it he is due for a cleaning! (shame on me for forgetting :/ )

One of my pigs has been having pinched off poos for a while, and I don't know what I should do. They are about 3/4 the size of a normal poo in length, but still just as wide as a normal poo, and today they seem a tiny bit more squishy (a lot of the pinched poos are squished from being stepped...

guineapigzone.com/guinea-pigs shows guinea pig rescues and individual pigs being given away. I am very sorry for your loss :(

The milky urine could mean he is getting too much calcium. What are you feeding them? Also are you sure that it is sneezing, or is it coughing? one of my pigs eats too fast, and will sometimes cough from his food going down the wrong pipe. Did he only start sneezing after you switched to aspen...

Congrats on the new cage! I think it would be fine for you to hold them, I think most suggest only 3-4 days for settling in before you hold them :)

First off, 5 cups of veggies a day is way too much. One cup a day is a good amount, 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup at night. They can get unlimited pellets until they are a year old (I think, someone can confirm that) and after that 1/8 cup each daily. Squeaking for food is normal, whenever...

Welcome! She's cute:love:

Just wanted to say thank you for taking in the piggy! we love pigtures :)

I don't have any furniture that is big enough for a 2x5 unless I extended the cage over the edge of it, and i'm not sure how I would do that so if anyone knows how I'd like to know thanks!

It looks like a furniture cage isn't going to work :/ I don't have any furniture that I can turn into a cage, and there isn't really room for more furniture in the room I want the cage in. At this point it seems like the only place to put the cage is in the basement, but it is not heated. The...

I guess it is more of just something fun for me, but I do tug-of-war with veggies with my boys lol

Yes, the new pig would need to be quarantined for at least two weeks (preferably 3-4) in another room to make sure it isn't sick. The second pig needs to be in another room during quarantine. On the main page there are minimum size requirements for different numbers of Guinea pigs (keep in mind...

Sounds like she might have a URI, but i'm not sure there is much you can do to help her (maybe force feed if she isn't eating, guinea pigs need something going through their systems at all times) besides take her to the vet ASAP. I hope both your piggies come through!

Welcome! I am in love with your little boy! <3
