    Rest In Peace Little Guy

    Diet No Romaine Lettuce.

    Well I called her since she obviously works there and she said there is NO mixes of any sort either. The store only has regular icebrg lettuce thats the only option so were going to another store since we've been to a few that have had none. I'm crossing my fingers they have it.

    Diet No Romaine Lettuce.

    I called my mom to grab some romaine lettuce before she came home and she called back saying there is NO romaine, dark leaf, etc. Just Iceberg lettuce. I have never had a problem out of it, but is there another lettuce of any sort I can use until they get Romaine in?

    One Death, A Million Words.

    Thanks everyone. She is currently in a different cage until I get the other cage surely clean. She is acting normal, eating, drinking, and playing. We do not plan to adopt in another but were going to get some stuffed animals and some toys to cheer her up. Thanks for all your blessings!

    Hair Loss Enormous Loss Of Hair

    I noticed during feeding tonight that my oldest guinea pig (lola) has lost a huge amount of hair on her back. She lives with 1 female but I havent noticed any fighting. I haven't looked too close because I am afraid she is in pain. I have done so much research but I can't determine what it...

    Cage Cage Designs/Plans

    Something towards a 2x3 loft. I think im going to expand to a 2x5 so it will deffinatley be huge. I also want to know how to make it stable. Do grids work? I hear they collapse and I hear its the best. I also want to make the loft like there food/hay area. And maybe some doors?

    Woven Grass Accessories - Safe?

    I personally own one and I put it as a bowl/plate for their hay. Mine normally won't pee on it if it has hay on it. Unfortunatley animals go wherever they feel like going, unless trained. Either way, they still go anywhere. I would say it is safe for a while. If they pee on it than it needs to...

    Whatever we had, we caught it before it got to bad period. If you get what Im saying. They actually see each other everyday. their cages are right by each other.

    Biting Bit me!

    They were so close to each other that I couldnt put anything on them. I figured she was showing a sign of dominance and I was going to let her, but she bit him so when I picked her up to take her back to the cage, she bit me in 3 spots. The swelling and redness has went away and it is healing.
