I have 3 dogs (1 was 12 when I got her), 2 are Jack Russel x's and one is pure Jack Russell, They are all rescue dogs and non of them take any notice of my piggies. When I got my sugar gliders they were very interested in them but they soon learnt it was a no no and now they take no notice at...

Wow its amazing that something so small can produce so much lol I have changed the cage today as I had thier food on a 2nd level so they had to go up a ramp for it. When I put them in yesterday it took them about 8 hours to come down the ramp so I think they thought that a bit scary. I have...

Thanks for the advice mommyoffive but when I took out the pigloo to clean they just huddled together in the corner looking totally petrified. It sounds great about putting them on your should so in time I will try that. Ive stroked them a couple of times so far today and held them for a few...

Have you tried carefresh in their litter tray and newspaper with fleece on top the rest of the cage. I am allergic to anything and everything but carefresh is great. Pine is one of the worst things to set my allergys off, the smell goes straight to my chest and I cant breath and my eyes start...

Hi I just wondered if its normal for piggies to wee in their cozies, hammocks, futons, pigloos etc or is this because my guys are new to me (2 males 7 & 9 weeks old)and they are scared? I only got them yesterday bless and today I had to clean the cage right out as they had wee'd so much. Ive...

I just found the New Arrival link which has helped a great deal.

Hi, I only got my 2 piggies today, they were born at a rescue after their mums and dads were taken in there with another piggies. They are only 9 weeks and 7 weeks old. I put them in their new cage only 10 hours ago and they havent moved. One is at one end of the cage and the other one is at the...

So if I had 2 neutered boys would they hardly smell at all? Just wondering if its worth getting done. My vet has quoted me £45 a piggie. What age should you get them neutered?

I went to the rescue although I would say they are more breeders than a rescue and there was 2 teddys and 2 long haired in the run. The silver teddy was being kept so that left the dark brown teddy and the 2 long haired. As I suffer badly from allergys I thought the teddy would be better for...

Thanks for your reply. The other one was a girl and has been sold, I dont think he is a resce just someone whos piggie has had babies. Iwill hopefully see the rescue ones tomorrow and may get one from there if the cream one is still available, if not I'll get both from the rescue. Is the...

Hi I have now finished my cage and have seen an advert for a 7 week male rosette piggie, he looks really cute and I would like to get him but obviously I will need to get him a male buddie. Do 2 piggies that dont know each usually get on ok? The cage would obviously be new to both of them so it...

Great thanks, I did think its more to do with personality like any animal, thanks for the replys

Thankyou, its so hard reading up on all the different sites to know which ones to believe, thats why I prefer forums.

Im just wondering if this is true (I read it on another site).....The Abyssinian and the long haired guinea pig does not like to be handled and stroked as much as the smooth haired varieties. I wanted to get 2 Abyssinian piggies but am now wondering after reading this as I want to be able to...

Great thanks

Hi is there a link on this site where you can hear the different sounds piggies make and what they mean? Im a newby so it would be great to hear all the different talk :cheerful:
