    No Guinea Pig Cages in a Child's Room???

    I'm in the same boat as @sarah0712 . While I agree gp's should not be kept in a child's room, I can't agree with gp's not being kept in a bedroom whatsoever. I'm 29, had to move back in with my mother and didn't get my gp's until I moved back in, but that being said if I were to move back out...

    Pet Stores I sorry but I DISAGREE with most people on this site.

    Reeeeally?? I'm not sure which gave me more of a headache. The ignorance, or the spelling/grammar... Must just be a combination of the two. Why are you even here? You're begging for a war with this thread. I'll just watch the chaos unfold now... :eye-poppi

    Showing Thoughts on Showing

    I see no point in it whatsoever. It's nothing but a confidence boost to the owner/handler/breeder anyway, what exactly is it doing for the pet? Nothing. Dog shows, cat shows, gp shows, all pointless in my mind. Horse shows... Jumping is a natural act for the horse anyway so I suppose in a sense...

    Animal Rights Irresponsible Rescue?

    Valid points from everyone. Was I little too angry when posting this? Probably. But I think any reasonable person can also understand my frustration. I do my research and find that I'll get a healthier pig by going to a rescue and within one week of doing so I'm forking over hundreds in vet...

    Animal Rights Irresponsible Rescue?

    Wow... Just wow... This was my first time going to a rescue and I wasn't given any contracts at all. I filled out the application and noticed all she did was take it from me, I don't think she even read over it. Not knowing any better I figured this was normal. So basically she is just in it for...

    Animal Rights Irresponsible Rescue?

    I don't know if I can call it abuse or just flat out no education. I noticed when one pig was taken out another was put directly in it's cage without cleaning or disinfecting first. Once she knew for sure I was taking Matisse she put another pig directly in. This can't be good and my vet...

    Animal Rights Irresponsible Rescue?

    It looks like they are. They claim they have 501c status.

    Animal Rights Irresponsible Rescue?

    I'm going to try to avoid giving a name here unless it becomes necessary as I don't know who trolls these boards, but is it possible to report a rescue you feel is not doing a proper job of caring for their Guinea Pigs, and if so who do you go to to file said report?

    Flags Breeder

    When I went to check her FB page yesterday there were tons of the same messages on the wall, over and over and over. So maybe they aren't actually being deleted but you're just not seeing them on your end? Sometimes when I post something on my wall, then something immediately after, I can see...

    If she's doing this to her pigs, what must she be doing to her dogs?! This is her website: (broken link removed) She's no better than a puppy mill!

    Hmm, what do you report it under though?! There's not really a category...

    Flags Breeder

    Wow, I just went to her page. I can't believe it! I'll report it to FB also. She has no clue what she is doing. OMG. Ugh, this just added to my headache. (I'll admit, trying to figure out which one of you is which on those comments is entertaining me)

    I need help convincing my sister that petco is not a good place to buy piggies

    Please DO NOT let your sister get her pig from one of these stores!! Learn from my experience! Before I was educated on the conditions these sweethearts are kept in before getting sent off to these stores I figured Petco or PetSmart were THE places to go. WRONG! (This was before I was aware...
