I'm very sorry for Coco's loss. When I lost my hammie Bella I was unconsolable. I had to make the decision to put her to sleep because she was suffering so much and would likely not recover. I had her little body cremated and have her ashes at home on my mantle. Now your Coco is over...

I posted not long ago about all the issues I was having with my Momo, and then a recent surgery he had to remove a kidney stone. Well sadly I woke up on Saturday morning to the lifeless body of my Momo in the middle of his cage :weepy:, I was so devastated. The vet did a necropsy on him and he...

I just wanted to give a quick update. We've been having good progress as far as Momo cooperating when it comes to hand feeding. He now lets me give him the pellet mash with the small syringe, but he will only take about 10 cc's in one sitting and he's done, he won't let me get anymore in his...

Ly, the vet didn't tell me. We have a follow-up appointment on Monday, so I will ask him for sure. When he told me about feeding him, he just said foods low in calcium and didn't mention anything about oxalic acid, so I will ask him about that too. Basically all he emphasized for me not feed...

Thank you Ly, that was my concern, I had no idea if carrot tops were high in calcium and it sounds like they are. What about other herbs like maybe basil, mint, etc? I'm wondering if he might like those and if they would be ok to give him at this time?

He just had surgery on Monday. I picked him up on Tuesday evening. So it's only been a few days. He hasn't lost anymore weight since I picked him up, but he also hasn't really gained any. I "think" I may have found something he likes. I bought a bunch of carrots with the leaves still on...

My Momo recently had surgery to have a kidney stone removed. From the time he developed the stone, we found it in an Xray, and finally surgery, he lost about 200 grams. When he went into surgery he wasn't even eating half of the veggies I was giving him, and I was giving him the most variety...

Hello, I just wanted to give an update. After meds and after trying to see if things could get better on their own, I finally opted for surgery. Momo had his surgery today, and the vet was able to remove the kidney stone and save the kidney :). I just got a call a little while ago and my Momo...

My pig Momo started walking kind of funny, so I took him to the vet on Saturday thinking his leg might be hurt, turns out his leg was fine, but after Xrays it was discovered he has a pretty big kidney stone and a piece broke off that is now stuck in his urethra. He's lost about 200g in the past...

I got my baby Nismo back today, feels like the wound has been opened back up :weepy:, but its also closure. Below are some pics of his little box. Now baby Nismo gets to come home and spend the rest of eternity with his mommy. The front of his box with a little charm with his name engraved...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I am still mourning the loss of my little one, and I will be getting his ashes back on Monday. It will be a very hard day because even though it will bring back the pain all over again, it will be closure as well. Now I need to focus on my other baby...

I went on a trip for Xmas/New Years for 10 days, because my Nismo had been very sick for the past couple of months and slowly getting worse I was able to find him a very cavy savvy sitter; Fenella from Wee Companions rescue here in San Diego. I left him and my Momo with her on Xmas eve, and...

Hi there, yea I posted in GuineaLynx already too....sigh, I hate to see my baby like this :-(, I've had him since he was a tiny baby

One of my pigs name's is Nismo, and he's a little over 4 years old. Nismo has had health issues for a couple of year, and most recently last month had Xrays done and the vet was concerned that Nismo was showing signs of possible arthritis and vitamin C deficiency. He also suffers from his jaw...

Hi Sammy, Not it's not that one, but thank you :).

They play with poop....haha! But really, my pigs usually play with each other, they follow each other around, nudge each other in the hiney, hehe. I've put toys in there for them like balls, and wooden toys, and hay balls, etc, but they hardly touch them. Mostly they just push stuff out of...

Thanks! Yea, I live in a 600 sq. ft. apartment with 5 furballs (1 hamster, 2 guinea pigs, 1 large rabbit, and now the chin), hehe, I have to make use of my space as best as I possibly can!

There is a poem I read a while back, and I cannot remember the name of it. The poem was about why we love small animals like guinea pigs, hamster, etc, even though they have such short life spans. Why we give them such care and love, even though we know they will leave us soon. And in the...

Connectors taken :)

I hope it's ok to post this here: I have 34 black cube connectors that I never used, and they are just sitting in a drawer collecting dust. I'd love to give them to someone that could use them. I would just ask for shipping costs, I'm thinking like 5-6 dollars. If interested I would say the...
