Let me give you some advise, wait until you have your own place. I've been here since 2009, and during that time I was kicked out of my parent's house and living in a 2 bedroom trailer shared with my boyfriend, his mother and grandmother, before I got my own apartment. I definitely never thought...

Nah, I don't live there. It's something I put when I was a kid, haha. I've been on this site for awhile.

Very cute! I want to see more pictures but they won't load. I do adore baby pigs. C:

I would try to adopt a guinea pig next time. :) You'd be surprised at how often poor guinea pigs are abandoned by their owners and therefore needs homes. Search craiglist, FB groups, and the humane society. ^^ Anyways, give your guinea pig some time to adjust. Try winning her trust with feeding...

Let me clarify, I did not say I spend 40 dollars on hay and pellets weekly, but 20 dollars weekly on veggies. And also, don't bank on guinea pigs not going to the vet. That's a horrible mind set.

Did my post imply that? I know they shouldn't be put any where near each other, sorry if what I said was not clear enough.

All your answers could be found through forum searches, I am not your personal internet search. You keep neglecting to state who will pay the bills for the vet. Their health is a gamble, so be prepared to spend thousands at the vet for one pig. I hope you do not plan to buy, as that will prove...

If you private party is honest about all illnesses, signs of illnesses and gave them good care, then not really. It takes 3 weeks for some signs of some illnesses to appear, as guinea pigs tend to hide them. You could put them together early if you're sure about their health, because you would...

You need to quarantine the new pig for 3 weeks so hidden illnesses will not spread. You need to introduce them in a neutral area and let them establish their dominance. The old cage will need to be clean to erase all scents from the previous pig to let them start over.

100 dollars is nothing, sorry. I spent 54 dollars today on my new adoption, for them to tell me to bring her back for another 54 dollars, to tell me if my 20 dollar medication is working or not, and when I need to get my 300+ risky surgery. To get a simple medication for my Freya, it cost 100...

Do not buy them for a pet store/breeder, but rather, give a second chance to an animal who might not see tomorrow.

Wait to your older and have the means to support them. I love a lot of things that I can't have. For example, I'd love to have more dogs. However, with my job, I can only support my guinea pigs. Instead, I volunteer at an animal shelter and spend time with all kinds of homeless dogs. One day...

Oranges are not something that is high in Vit C, and should be limited to 1-2 times a week, and can cause mouth sores. Guinea pigs need a wide range of vegetables (no iceburg) to meet their nutritional needs. Pet store hay and food is usually crap, unless you can find oxbow. I'd suggest buying...

Guinea pigs are not easy to take care of and you need to be able to afford at LEAST 2-3 hours a DAY to their care. Will you parents pay for vet care? Will they make a CC cage? Will they help you adopt? Will they allow for two same sex pigs? Will they buy high quality food and veggies every week...

They are in my sister's room. While generally not recommended, the guinea pigs are OUR pets and no one else in the "family" cares about them. Also, while our dog is friendly, I'd rather them not be near her for I can not trust her around them. Also, they have a larger cage upstairs and when...

If you really didn't want to cause a rift in this community, you could have done a forum search answering every single question you've had. Weird,right? Except this post is EXACTLY like others that I see, oh maybe 1-2 times a WEEK.

Hm. Except the "poor petstore" pig epidemic will be a never ending cycle.(Except if someone breaks it.) That animal you gave a home, yeah, it was bred for money. And they'll keep breeding for money, ignoring the utter crisis of homeless and neglected pets. They don't care where the pig ends up...

Craigslist is a good bet. It doesn't seem like it at first, but when you are searching to add to your herd, it becomes so stressful because you become aware of all the homeless pigs. Right now, after a single posting on Craigslist, we have several people who want us to adopt their pigs. However...

Well, if you go to a shelter, see if they know anything about the personalities the Pig's have. Ask them if they have anything that has a submissive personality. Also, I'd go for an older female over a younger pig. You could even try a neutered boy to keep her company, as I hear that male and...
