    Popcorning Do your guinea pigs seem to like your other pets?

    My piggies like to give my dogs kisses on their noses through their cages, piggies love it, dogs just sit there looking at the piggies with their heads turned sideways like what was that?

    My dream pets

    I already had 3 chinchillas and I love them to death!! And it's funny because the Siberian Husky that I do have is black grey and white with blue eyes.

    Allergic to Pigs?

    My allergies were so bad when I first got my pigs that if I wasn't careful and didn't pay attention to my symptoms I have to go to the ER before I stop breathing. However, this went away eventually. For me, with new pets, it's about 2-3 months. It really sucks to deal with but your body need...

    Bedding Good bedding other than pine and carefresh?

    I'm not sure where you are located but do you have a Fleet Farm in your town? I buy shaved aspen bedding, a 50lb compressed bag for $6.00 and my piggies love it. Fleet Farm is a hardware store/farm store so if you dont have a Fleet Farm but something like it I would try there. It's horse...

    I thought Craigslist was bad!!!

    Paula you hit it right on the head with your whole post. I was just so angry writing the post that I couldn't get all the words out. My part about the people who actually fall for the "designer" breeds that are out there could find pets in another place other than breeders. It amazes me that...

    I thought Craigslist was bad!!!

    Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason but it still makes me really mad, at least on CL that crap can get flagged.

    I thought Craigslist was bad!!!

    So I'm pretty new to this site and I come onto the forum daily and I see a lot of people reference kijiji.com alot. So yesterday I was bored and decided to check the site out to see if it was really as bad as Craigslist. Let me just say that I think it's 10 times worse and it ticked me off so...

    What are your other favorite animals?

    I loves wolves and since owning one is out of the question, dogs are the next best thing!! I hope to sell my house and move out into the country more since where I live you are only allowed to own 2 dogs. I enjoy pheasant hunting( sorry anyone against it) so having more than one Lab is my...

    Getting my chinchilla today :)

    I have 3, 2 boys Arthur and Onyx and a girl Bella. I also have a very large ferret cage but I changed mine a lot. My Chins dont like any of the metal ramps or levels so I went out and bought wood to replace everything. Before I did this they spent all their time on their wooden ledges so I...

    Fighting Did I do the right thing?

    Last night when I got home from work it was piggie play time. I set up my 3 different little pens for the piggies, the girls in their own, 1 for Gilbert, and another for Louie and Duke. When I picked up Duke I noticed he was more skiddish than usually and wanted nothing to do with Louie...

    Nutrition How can they sell this?

    When I first got my 2 piggies Charlotte and Lily this is the kind of food that they came with. They never really seemed to eat anything other than the pellets so I went online and I found this wonderful site and thank god the next day I switched them to pellets only (and veggies of course!) and...

    Animal Welfare G-force is INFURIATING me.

    If that craigslist gets your blood going, listen to this. I received a Petco flyer in the mail yesterday. I normally dont shop there but with the large amount of different critters in my house, Im always looking for things on sale. Im flipping through the ad and get to the 2nd to last page...

    Hay Canary Hay??

    That's what I have been reading about Canary grass. This farmer doesn't actually plant it. He just plants Timothy and Brome together for his horses and he always gets Canary growing and can't get rid of it. Glad to know my piggies can have it, the farmer is more than happy to share!

    Hay Canary Hay??

    Having 5 piggies I have been searching and searching for hay that I can buy in bulk. I recently found a farmer who grows a Brome, Canary, Timothy mix. Would this be ok for the piggies? I know that Brome and Timothy are ok but I have not found anything on here about Canary grass hay. From...

    Comment by 'Irishmoon' in media 'Beware of the Guinea Pigs'

    I love it! I honestly was thinking of doing the same thing. Piggies make us do silly things.

    Behavior How talkative are your piggies?

    Lily is really quiet and only talks when she is made that Charlotte is taking too much of her veggies. Charlotte I think finally figured out that if she wheeks louder than the boys she can get everyones attention first. Gilbert talks to my cat Cain all the time and especially at dinner time...

    Pellets Buying in bulk??

    I have 5 piggies and to save money I want to buy their pellets in bulk from a feed mill. My questions is, what kind do I ask for? All piggies are over 6 months so I know the Alfalfa is out. If I ask for Timothy Hay pellets, would that be correct? I know that's what you want to buy from a...

    Hello from Wisconsin!

    The day after I got the boys I did some floor time with them and the fighting got worse between Gilbert and Louie. I took Louie out to see if Gilbert and Duke would get along but then Gilbert started picking on Duke and poor Duke just started squeeking and tried to run away and hide. So sadly...
