Just thought I would attach a few pictures of our pigs. The brown one is Tucker and the white and grey one is Sisco. I also included a picture of the cage I built. I hope you all enjoy.

That is it! I just put fresh hey in their cage. Thank-you!

I have heard what sounds like a couple of sneezes from one of my boys. I was not able to identify which one did. They are both active and seem to be fine. Do I need to worry, or is this normal?

A second cavy will give your little guy some company. Show your mom this link. Guinea Lynx :: Companionship

A 4x3 willl not work. The sheet of coroplast is not wide enough. A 5x2 will work. Since most grids are 14'' long and not 12''. I have my two guys in a 5x2 and they love it.

I block off my kitchen for floor time. This is not a whole lot larger than my currnet pen of 2x5. Is this ok, or do I need to find a larger space? It is larger than my cage, but not by a lot. Thank-you for your help.

It could be minor. Your pig my have scratched his eye on some hey. I would take Eli to the vet. It is better to be safe. Here is a page that I came across. Guinea Lynx :: Eyes

My girlfriend and I have been going through the introduction process. Our pigs did not fight. I have heard that is harder to introduce an older pig into a younger pigs environment. You might want to introduce them on neutral ground. Clean your cage, and after a proper introduction put them in...

Ah thank you, why does the gramar mean alot here? I thought it was something basic like discussion of the pigs?

Ah yea, We built a 2 by 5 cage and we have coplast so that type of thing i guess its a bit bigger than two mim needed, so but eventually we will make a second level or make it a bit bigger, but i hope till that comes, it will be in the bigger place cuz i dont think i need them to take up MORE of...

Hey, Im just begining to be so drawn to check out a bunch of sites and such, but what is the best site to find out what breed is tucker and sisco? tucker seem to have two different shades of brown i guessn common short hair and i know sisco is a mix, hes white and grey. I will have to post a...

Hey you guys! Oh man, when I was surprised with Tucker (five month old pig) I'll admit i was scared! I didnt know what to do because i never taken care of animals like cavies in general i was the basic person knowing about cats and dogs and rabbits in general *thro a friend* so we got him a 4...

Thank you. That brought a tear to my eye. I agree with an ealier post. You should take up writing. You have a real tallent. I will not let my young child have a pet like that.

I just got my 2nd cavy from the same person that I got my first one from. We introduced them for about 30 minutes on flor time. They were chirping and chasing eachother. I read the page on social life and they are deffinately doing the dominance game, but have made no threating behavior. I...

I just got my pig, and built the cage. It is pretty easy. I got two orginize it Kits from Target and some zip ties. If you can your local sign store they should have the cloroplast. I bought mine for $13.90. It took a little trial and error, but it is a pretty easy. Take a look at the directions...

Check around for a farm supply store. I payed $6.99 for a bag that expands into 10 cubic feet!

I don't know. I responded to a craigslist add. My pig is 5 months old. He came with a small cage for free and she refered me to this site for a better cage. She gave me an older book on caring for him. She gave me all this for free and is charging me $10 for a baby that I will be picking up on...
