    Size 3x8 C&C Cage - how many pigs?

    Good evening all! I currently have a herd of 4 piggies (3 females and 1 neutered male). I rescued 2 females about a month ago and am thinking about rescuing 2 more females here soon. The reason I bring that up is that I am turning a spare bedroom into a pet room and want to build a 3x8 C&C...

    Frustrated Do I worry too much?

    With my Jaina the vet couldn't find anything wrong with her other than the weight loss and that she was running a fever. Even after she passed and a necropsy was performed he didn't notice anything out of the norm :( I hope that perhaps @GuineaPigpapa is correct and that you're just reading the...

    Reference Guinea Pig names!!! What are yours?

    Congrats on the new addition! Their names are really cute :) My 4 piggies that have passed over the rainbow bridge were named Penny, Roxy, Bella, and Jaina. The current trio I have are Sylvanas, Cookie, and Shadow.

    Chat Bored at work

    Evening/Morning all! As the title says, I'm bored at work. I'm covering a graveyard shift for someone (I usually work morning shifts) and I've done everything I need to do for the evening so I'm just sitting here drinking monsters and trying to decide what Steam game to play. What are you guys...

    Shadow and Sylvanas

    Shadow and Sylvanas. They are not the best of friends yet (as of this posting Shadow has only been with us for 24 hours). In fact, they're still trying to decide who the boss is! But in this picture at least, they had a shared bonding moment over how terrifying baths are.

    Shadow, Sylvanas, Cookie

    From L to R: Shadow, Sylvanas, and Cookie. Shadow is the most recent addition to our herd. He's a 10 month old neutered male from the Wee Companions rescue down in San Diego. Sylvanas is a 6 month old Peruvian sow. She was adopted from a private party who was looking to rehome her. Her previous ow

    My husband and I decided on a name for him! We went with Shadow :) Now we just need to find another way to refer to the piggies since "the girls" is no longer applicable :P

    Photos Post bath time trio

    Here are my trio (Sylvanas, Cookie, and a TBD neutered boar) post bath time. Sylvanas is the Peruvian in the middle, Cookie is the American on the right and the neutered boar is the black one on the left. We aren't sure about what to name the little mister yet. I'm leaning towards either...

    Dominance Peruvian Sow & Neutered Boar getting aggressive with dominance.

    Yep, I know it is hence the ordering of the 2x5. I haven't received the e-mail that they've started working on my order but I imagine in 1.5-2 weeks I'll have everything and have it up and running! As far as hideys, there are none at the moment. The rescue recommended to not have any in there...

    Frustrated Do I worry too much?

    @Tgrady That's how I am right now. I've lost 2 pigs this month. Penny ((broken link removed)) passed away earlier this month. She was 8 years old so I imagine it was due to old age. She was a well traveled pig (moved from CA to Long Island, NY and then back to CA with her 2 sisters that passed...

    Dominance Peruvian Sow & Neutered Boar getting aggressive with dominance.

    @bpatters Their current cage is a bit on the smaller side for 3 piggies. Currently they have a 2x3.5 base with a 2x2 loft. I ordered them a 2x5 base with a wide loft loop that will hopefully be here early next month (I ordered from the Guinea Pig Cages store and I live in southern California, so...

    Comment by 'GeekKate' in media 'Roxy, Bella, and Penny's new cage'

    I no longer have this cage setup but it worked great while I had it! They used the tube quite well but it was difficult to clean because the majority of the tube was closed.

    Oh my gosh, you had my husband and I rolling with the antics of your sweet Maya. Guinea pigs are such characters! I was wondering if maybe Sylvanas (the Peruvian) was in heat but I honestly have no idea how to tell. If I was going based off of last night I'd think it was just that she didn't...

    Good Morning! I have 2 sows (1 Peruvian & 1 American) that are roughly 6 months old. They've only been together for just over 2 weeks but they get along swimmingly. There was a bit of rumblestrutting at one point but it didn't last long. Other than that they follow each other around the cage...
