I WAS ABOUT TO SAY ROLO TOO, littlenme! Great minds think alike! But yes, I suggest Rolo also, especially since its a sweet, like Coco. Or, you could go with Caramel/Carmel, Twix, Snickers, Toffee, Truffle, Nougat, Rocky Road (Rocky), or Moose Tracks (Moose). Those are some names I considered...

My piggie Spike also tugs on my shirt when I pick her up, but she also chews on her cuddle sack when she's in the cage. It does seem to happen more when I'm holding her, though. I try to only hold her for a little while because I can tell after a few minutes she has had enough and will start...

I use uhaul also, it works like a charm :) But it is pretty thick so hand sewing could be frustrating.

It's great that you have decided to go with a C&C cage! And THANK YOU for wanting to get him a friend, it sounds like you have really done your homework. I promise you, your pig will be much more happy and with a nice cage and a friend to play with, he will have so much energy and will make you...

Yes, when my Spike starts annoying Luisa (If she were human, Spike would be that one little kid that comes over on the playground and says, "You wanna play? You wanna play? How about now?"over and over again :) ) Luisa will squeal at her and start popcorning. Also, they will both rumblestrut at...

UPDATE: So, over the past few days Luisa has been gaining about .2 oz a day. She was up to 2 lbs, 2.3 oz yesterday. Then, this morning, it dropped back down to 2 lbs, 1.7 oz. Any ideas?

Okay, I'll do that. Thanks, PiggieGuinea and bpatters

Thank you, bpatters, I guess I was just worried that she was really sick. I don't want to lose her like I lost my old pig. I think you're probably right, I'm just going to drive myself crazy. There's no solid evidence that she's really sick, so I'll just keep an eye on her. Thanks again. You...

I just weighed her, and she was 2 lbs, 2 oz, which is .8 oz more than yesterday! Yay! I did give her her lunch veggies a little bit later than usual, so I'll weigh her a little bit later too, but at least she hasn't lost weight again!

I've weighed her every day (since Friday, so not that long) at around 7 pm. She has continued to lose weight, but we haven't been back for that long. As long as she doesn't get noticeably worse, I'm just going to keep an eye on her weight for a little while. If she continues to lose, what could...

Yeah, I really don't want to waste money on an unnecessary vet visit, but I will take her in if she needs it. The main thing I am worried about is her weight. She's been losing weight for a while, I don't know exactly how long, but I don't know why, so if she shows any more symptoms she's going...

She's eating normally, eyes are clear, nose appears to be clear, she seems a little more lazy than normal, but nothing too excessive. Trust me, I'm popping in to check on her every 5 minutes, and if she gets worse, we're packing her up and going straight to the vet. My pig Rambo also died of a...

The squeaky nose is only when she sniffs, and even then, her nose only squeaks a little. Other than laying down on me, she is still acting perfectly normal. I want to take one more weight tonight before I take her in, just to be sure that there really is something wrong. I have already taken her...

I know that is exactly what I was thinking! I just wanted another opinion in case I was just being paranoid. Thank you, PiggieGuinea, I will call and make an appointment right now. Any suggestions on what I should do in the meantime?

Okay now I am really worried... I picked her up after feeding time and weighed her, just because. She was 2 lbs, 2.3 oz, so she gained a little weight, but only because I had just given her lettuce (I think). Then, as I was holding her, I heard her nose squeaking as she was breathing. She has...

Guinea pigs eat A LOT, so if you weighed him before and after eating his veggies, then there would probably be a bit of a weight difference. I think you only need to worry if he is constantly losing or gaining weight.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, what I can do to fix it, and what symptoms I should be on the lookout for in the meantime?

True. I weighed her at about 5 pm, which was before her dinnertime. I weighed her at the same time tonight, and she was 5 lbs 1.2 oz, which is .6 oz less than yesterday. It's not a huge difference, but if she continues to lose weight consistently, I'm going to have to take her to the vet...

No, but 4 oz is a lot of fluctuation for 1 week, much less 1 day.

Oh, I do keep track of their weights in Excel, I just forgot to enter last weeks weights.
