Thank you guys all so much. And yeah its only the older one who does those things but its starting to become less frequent

About one month ago I adopted a Guinea Pig from a rescue and the girl was very experienced in match making. She found Jack (my adult boar) a little friend who is about 4 months old now. The introductions went fine, there was a little rumble strutting from Jack and mounting, but nothing more. I...

It sounds a lot like what passionpiggies described. Because I know he doesn't mind it based off of his actions and general energy. And he constantly scratches. Do I need to buy shampoo to get rid of the lice if that is the case?

Thank you. (: He is my baby. And he has the softest coat, when we first got him I was shocked at how silky it was.

It could just be Stella's personality. I have two dogs also, Bailey and Kahlua. Bailey always gets in Kahlua's face when she is trying to sleep, and she growls. I think Stella is just warning Karma, but I would ask a professional if it continues, because it may get worse, and may hint towards...

This is Jackie, my baby boy. He has a unique personality, is a trouble maker, but he is the sweetest thing. Every morning he greets me with chirping (probably because he expects hay) and always gives me a kiss goodnight. My dad came home with him as a gift to my mother for christmas, we had...

Im not sure how everyone feels about this, but I make stairs/caves for my guinea out of washed/clean bricks. But if you do this make sure there is absolutely no way for it to fall/tip/wobble. It is also a great way to keep them cool in the summer. (: Just a tip: put one under their water bottle...

I am so happy to say that Jack has a bigger cage now. I used my dogs wire cage (the spacing is not larger than 1.5 inches), it is about 48"x30". My mom said it was fine to use because it was in the living room for the longest time. He is so happy it. He now has fleece bedding, and a "fleece...

Maybe if the cage were a two story 2x3 cage. I measured and it it a few inches larger on all sides, this makes it too large for the table his cage is already on. So if I did a two story it may be high enough. I want it to be at the same height his cage is right now becausue we have two dogs...

If I keep him in the smaller modified cage during the day and put him in the c&c (2x3 grids) in the afernoon/night/ and early morning (in my room) would this be enough? Because I know I wouldn't be able to put the larger cage where his old cage was and my mom would complain of having too little...

I have told them I would pay for a large cage 100% because he is basically my guinea pig (he started off as my moms but I've pretty much claimed him as mine). Im wondering if I can have him that cage in the day and put a large cage in my room for afternoons and nights. Problem is that it would...

Yes. I have heard about mites but I don't think that's it. It is exactly like a dog. And he totally phases out when he does it, like I can touch his paws and belly and act like im cutting his nails (this is a big deal because it is hard to cut his nails because he gets scared). I don't think it...

Awwww. My guinea is a talker...every morning I give him hay so as soon as I get out of bed he goes crazy. I have another question. There is a spot on his back that if I pet he will start chewwing something as if he is scratching himself. He goes crazy. Is this normal or do you think he has...

Thank you so much, does he flip back over himself? (I have never let him roll onto his back for too long)

I am concerned about my guinea pig, he is not my first but he is the only one that does this. When he popcorns and I am holding him he will roll onto his back. It is only when I hold him or have him out of his cage, even when he is on a flat surface. I am worried because guinea pigs have fragile...
