    Hay Allergic reaction to Timothy Hay

    My wife is SUPER allergic to timothy hay, even Orchard Grass will get her sinuses acting up. Pretty much the only hay we can have in the house is Oat, but the pigs seem to enjoy eating that at least.

    C&C C&c size decisions

    I just recently got my 4th pig and expanded my cage out to be 4 x 4.5. Our newest, Cinnamon, is a 4 month old baby and she loves to zoomie around. Felt like in a 3x4.5 cage she just didn't have enough room to zoom around.

    How Many? Is it OK to have one pig? Also, can someone tell me how to add images?

    Media Liners to the US?

    If you are trying to just cut costs, getting a bunch of the U-haul furniture pads and some discount fleece and a $20 handheld sewing machine from Joannes allows you to do quite a bit. I've made 6 blanket liners so far. My sewing is terrible but I don't think the piggies are going to complain...

    Cage Cages Help For 5 Girls

    2x7 foot is only 14 square foot. Seems like it's fairly cramped space for 5 girls. (Depending on the size of the loft of course.) I'd see what you can do to expand their cage space. For comparisons sake I have a 4x5 foot cage for my 3 girls.

    Hello!

    Hi, My wife decided to adopt two 2 year old guinea pigs from a family who claimed their child was allergic to them. (Squeeks and Brownie) I built them a wooden 3 by 4 foot cage and they were quite happy. A few weeks afterwards I decided to get my own "Pinkie" and after realizing their home was...
