I've found the perfect apartment for me, but with one catch. They won't allow my guinea pigs! I'm allowed to bring my cat along with a $200 pet deposit, but when I asked about small caged animals (followed by "Ya know, like a guinea pig") she shook her head and said no caged animals... Is this...

I'm so very excited! After months of looking, I may have finally found my skinny pig :) A woman contacted me about her skinny pig that makes her husband severely allergic. He's said no to adding more pigs to their home (so that she isn't a lone pig) so they're considering giving her up for...

I was actually thinking the opposite...I feel like the way the cage will most likely be sitting, it would probably be easier to clean under the 2x6 as everything is right in front of you...when you have a loft that sits off to one side like the top one, you kind of have to reach around the...

Ok, that gives me a lot more comfort!

Alright, so the time has come for me to finally spread my wings, find an apartment, and become a fully-fledged adult in training. I'm excited to take the world by storm with my furry pack of 5, but I have some questions. I need some advice, one piggy addict to another. 1. Should I be up front...

My pigs are on baytril twice a day. They should get their dose in about 4 hours, because usually I'm up until early in the morning, and then I get up late in the afternoon, but I'm just so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open. Is four hours early too early?

sigh at least these ones appear to be well taken care of...but yes, still a shame. I've never understood the whole "pet upgrade" thing. You get a pet, you keep the pet, and you only get another one when that pet dies, or you're sure that you can handle another.

Thank you all for the info! Second question!!: They've both been on the Baytril for 4 days..about how much longer until I can expect the sneezing to go away?

I just bought a 2 month old boar at PetCo a week ago, and I've already had to take him to the vet for a URI. I'm sure Petsmart is just as bad.

My Current Pigs: Oreo, Finn, Piper, Penelope, and Snowflake My Past Pigs: Pudge, Patches, Pumpkin, Bella, Puddin', Oliver, Porky, and Rodney

My oldest boar is about 3 1/2 . . . I got him last year from a family that did NOT take good care of him at all..small cage, no hay, no veggies, crappy pellet mix...His cage was super dirty when I got him. Well, he was very skinny when I got him, and his cagemate didn't eat so I took them both...

I posted the ad on a few groups that I'm a part of on Facebook...It looks like a couple of women are working on it! :)

With all due respect, what is the point in flagging the "Free to a good home" ad? If that little box is where they live, that's terrible..and the male and female shouldn't be housed together...but if we keep flagging them for removal, that just might aggravate the seller and lead them to go to...

For those of you that celebrate Christmas, who here spoiled their pigs a wee bit too much here? haha! I knew I was addicted when I realized that I was using my Christmas gifts on the pigs... I bought 18 yards of fleece from JoAnn's on black friday I cut up the old smaller cages, taped them...

Well, I already sew my own liners and lap pads, etc. I was looking to something similar to this: (broken link removed) Something that's a bit more cushy. I was thinking something along the lines of this: (broken link removed)
