    Anyway of knowing about how far along she is?

    Thank you! �� I appreciate the information! Should I be concerned if her weight has been fluctuating between 1 lb 12oz and 1lb 14oz? She hasn't steadily been gaining weight for the past week or so.

    Anyway of knowing about how far along she is?

    We do want to try to keep all the babies if there aren't too many. We already have 5 guinea pigs currently. We are planning on keeping the girls with mom and putting any boys, if there are any, with dad at 3 weeks. We just added to our cage to accomodate all of our piggies. I appreciate the...

    Sexing Is my skinny pig a male or female?

    I am going to pick up some oxbow young guinea pig pellets. I have been feeding the adult ones. But they do get unlimited hay from small pet select and a cup of veggies every morning. Thank you for the advice! I will keep a close eye on her for sure! I am so nervous

    Sexing Is my skinny pig a male or female?

    I tried pressing and nothing popped out! I also felt atound for balls and found none! I am so worried she is pregnant! She was born on March 8th and has been in the same cage as my male since March 31st. She doesn't look to be too big though.

    Sexing Is my skinny pig a male or female?

    I got two supposed males and now I am afraid the one is a female! I thought he just didn't have big balls because they were both so young but now it has become obvious there is a difference. They have been in the same cage for 68 days and I haven't seen either of them humping the other.

    Adopting Possibility of mites??

    I havent notices her itching at all but in the meantime I have picked up some Durvet Invermectin Pour On. How do I figure out how to dose it for my other piggies? She has put on a good bit of weight and is currently 340 grams. Should I wait until she is 350 grams or can I treat her right along...

    Adopting Possibility of mites??

    I weighed her and she is only 269 grams. She was born on March 30th so I take it she is too young for it. And she is currently in quarantine in a seperate part of our home. :)

    Comment by 'KristenMatejka' in media '5 X 3 Stacked C&C Cage.'

    I love this!!! How are you supporting the top level? I want to upgrade my stacked 2x5 to a stacked 3x5 with 2x5 offset lofts but didnt know if it would be too heavy or not.

    Adopting Possibility of mites??

    I am going to be adopting a sweet little baby girl on Sunday and she was housed outside for the first 2 weeks of her life. Should I treat her for mites to be safe? What do I need if so?

    Rumblestrutting One boar rumblestrutting all the time around other boar

    When exactly do they hit puberty? We are moving May 21st from New Orleans, La to Houston, Tx. Should I worry about moving them in a small area? I would immediately set their cage up once we get to Houston but I am worried about the stress of the move on them.
