I've been using Borax and an unscented detergent on all my fleece, from a recommendation I had previously. For my own clothes, i started the same combo, and I was shocked at how much the borax removed built up detergent. I had so many outfits I couldn't wear because they strangely started to...

All he sees is Guinea Pigs, Hedgehogs, and Rabbits for over 25 years in practise. I only have two options, him or the overkill expensive over 200$ an appointment place that wants to spay every animal just to make money. he shaved her because on the sides is where there is ALOT of fur I mean...

He x-rayed Fluffy, and 4 of my other females. I had 3 new ones to get checked out and one has a knee issue that pops out of place so he was making sure it was ok. He compared all the girths, weights, Xrays, and shaved fluffy's sides for a more accurate measurement. Poked, prodded, checked...

We already did the Mite treatment for all 7 of mine (all in 3 different cages mind you) a month ago. In the interim, cage re design will be underway tonight. Are some Piggies just OK on their own cage with visibility/grids between other groups? I have 3 2x5 cages, so Fluffy would have a 2x4...

No, there is no signs the vet could find of ovarian cysts or any other medical issues. Everything came out fine.

Like I stated, I rescued them from someone else, I only have had them 5 months. She had her cyst for over two years, due to her size it was strongly suggested not to have it removed as she probably wouldn't wake up, and she was 7 years old when she passed so the previous owner went for Quality...

Hi Everyone, Back Story: Rescued 4 guinea pigs off Kijiji from a lovely young lady who's parents were separating and she could not keep the guinea pigs. Two were senior, (1 Senior, Female, had an ovarian cyst, 1 Senior is a neutered male) one female "middle aged" and one was 1.5 years old...

Morning Everyone, I had the opportunity to rescue a neutered male and 3 sows (all over the age of 4yrs old) over the Thanksgiving weekend, and now I am not totally sure on how to introduce them to my mother daughter duo. I've built a 2x8 with a dividing wall temporary but I know that will...

Really? Oh gosh, mine run and hide even when i touch the fleece forest a little too much. That's why I was asking this, thought it would be best for them. Thank you so much, I will try this and see if it works for my girls.

Do you just remove the ramp and binder clip a grid on? I read your post before, it is a wonderful idea.

when your replacing the fleece and cleaning the coroplast??? How does that work?

Hi Everyone. This is probably extremely long winded, I apologize in advance, but I am trying to provide as much detail as I can and I am not sure what info is needed. Currently my two girls are in a 2x8 grid, made only with zipties, as connectors are not MS friendly *sigh* I'm trying to...

Thanks Everyone, I am just leaving to go pick them up now. They were coming in from the other side of the province. I have all my Rubbermaid Cubes and Coroplast all ready. I ended up having enough space for a 3x4 enclosure, with stand for now. I found my dog's old mesh playpen with waterproof...

Hello Everyone, Today I am picking up my first guinea pigs to add to my furbaby family (One small dog, two cats). From what the shelter has told me is that it is a mother around two years old and her daughter who is about one years old. They are in a store bought small size cage, and I'm not...
