Thank you all for your opinion. I hadn't thought of them fighting over her. I was thinking about not having more litters. sigh. I'll have to talk to my husband and share what you all have said. thanks

Here is my conundrum in a nutshell: In Aug. we got a guinea pig and didn't know she was pregnant. Early Sept. I thought she might be pregnant and voila! on Sept. 7th she delivered 2 healthy babies. We read up on sexing and found them both to be boys. At 22 days of age we seperated the boys...

We haven't experienced many cons to using fleece. My 11 year old kids completely maintain the cage. Before school they take a very small broom, the sort you may have in camper/tent, and sweep up the cage. After school they take the pigs out for playtime (I watch them) and the cage gets...

Hi there, We just outfitted our guinea pig with a C&C Cage using supplies found in HRM. Coroplast can be found at Kent Building Supplies and East West Plastics in Burnside Industrial Park. Call ahead to confirm that they have IN STOCK what you want before you drive out. East West Plastics...

I don't know much about craigslist but I assume people use it to post things they have for sale. In your place I would try to freecycle a cat carrier while saving to buy one. Just google 'freecycle' and your city name. Not sure about your question of the shiny coated cardboard box. My gut...

You certainly have a nice sized piggie family! Not to mention your hamsters too. I know what you mean about the babies looking like the father. Our 2 look completely different from Snowball (all white) so they clearly look like the father. How difficult did you find it to sex the babies...

I wish I had an answer for you but I have the same question. One of our babies (still nursing) will drink a sip or two of water if you literally hold it for him/her while they drink. the other won't touch it. I'm trying not to worry too much though because they both nurse frequently and their...

When we got our guinea pig she didn't move a lot in her cage. Not even after we built her a nice C&C cage. During floor time she wouldn't move that much either. Turns out she was quite pregnant, we just didn't know it. Her pups were born this past Sunday and now she is capable to zoom...

Thank you all. I will call the vet and check the babies every week to try and determine gender. We can seperate any boars if need be but our goal is to eventually have them all together.

Hello all, We have 2 day old baby piggies in our house. (Lucky us!) Mom and babies appear to be quite healthy and happy. They scamper around, popcorn sometimes and the babies nurse often. We feed mom throughout the day, a healthy diet, because she seems hungrier than usual. We think it's...

Hello, We were blessed (somewhat as a surprise) with 2 delightful and seemingly happy baby guinea pigs yesterday. Mother and pups are scampering around the cage, popcorning now and again and spending a fair amount of time nursing. My question concerns getting some of the pigs fixed. We've...

Janelle, Saturday night I felt clear movement in our recently adopted piggy. She had her pigs around 2 a.m. this next morning! Everything went very well, which pleased me to no end. I was sort of worried about the birth, if we'd have to 'do' something. Mother Nature took over and our...

Hello all, I'm a new member to this forum. In early Aug. we got a guinea pig. In essence we 'rescued' her because we got her from a lady who fosters all those pets children get as *gifts* when the families realize pets are work. We were warned that our girl, Snowball, might be pregnant...
