    Diet Help me with my pigs' menu please?

    I find my pigs like the orange and yellow peppers over the green peppers. They will eat them up, but if I put green peppers in just a couple of nibbles. Maybe you can try orange or yellow peppers?

    URI/Upper Respiratory Infection URI Help

    It has been 7 days since I have brought snickers to the vet. No signs of URI anymore, when can I introduce the baby that has been in quarantine to them? She is 1 week over the recommended quarantine because of the URI incident.

    Fleece Zorb US

    You are probably talking about wazoodle that is in Canada. That is the only place that sells it as they have designed it. Shipping isnt alot, which I was shocked about that. I have ordered from there twice with no problems. It just takes some time to receive the items due to them being in Canada.

    Introductions Yay!!

    Thanks, yeah I am sure glad I did. Bad enough I have to keep an eye on the other one that lives with her for any symptoms, I would feel so bad if the baby got sick.

    Bathing bathing advice?

    So why can't you use a wet cloth on him too like you other pigs? A wet cloth is like a wipe just without chemicals. or you could even use a damp sponge? It beat all the chemicals that are in wipes.

    Behavior I Think I Traumatized My Piggie!

    He'll get over it...he's just not used to it. He's probably thinking to himself, what the heck am I getting poked with? lol

    Introductions Yay!!

    That's good to hear! :) My baby quarentine was up this week, but I can't introduce them to the other two since I found out one of them has a URI.

    Bathing bathing advice?

    Wipes aren't recommended to use on guinea pigs. Pigs like to clean themselves and by using the wipes the chemicals from them are left on the pigs fur. Everytime the pig grooms itself it most likely is licking the chemicals from the wipes.

    General Am I doing something wrong?

    I am sorry for what you had to go through. You are not doing anything wrong, in fact you sound like a good owner and knows how to treat pigs right. I just hope that shelter gave some good advice to the person they decided was such a good fit for that pig.

    Chewing Wooden ramp=[

    Aspen is fine to use as bedding, as said though stay away from Pine unless it is kiln dried. Cedar and Pine are bad woods because they release chemicals that can cause the pigs to have respirtory issues. If you are out of coroplast, some sign places might have extra pieces laying around that...

    URI/Upper Respiratory Infection URI Help

    I don't know how people with big herds get there pigs checked if one gets sick. For example people with 4 or 6 pigs. If one gets sick, do they really take all of them in the vet at the same time? That's a big vet bill. URI's are caused by Bacteria? What kind, is it from the bedding, or something?
