This thread can be removed. I have rehomed my guinea pigs. They are now in a loving home where allergies are not a problem.

As much as it kills me to do this I really need to find a new home for my pigs. They are a little over 2 years old (June 28,2009) and are brothers and have been together since birth. However my asthma and allergies are not getting better and are just getting worse, even with the allergy shots...

I'm curious about this as well because a few months ago Steelix was peeing red urine (red/pink streaks throughout it). He peed on the white coroplast I made their cage out of so there was no mistaking the color. I took him immediately to the vet and she checked him over and did x-rays and such...

Me too, I catch crap all the time from friends, family and co-workers about my guinea pigs. My friends, even the one that I got my guinea pigs from, thought it was silly to go have Steelix's cyst removed and she rolls her eyes every time I take them to the vet over something. Yet I know of 7...

If you can't find any good quality hay locally then I really do recommend Kleenmama's HayLoft. Seriously, I bought 25lbs of Bluegrass Hay back late May/early June and I still have almost half of it left. I am keeping a eye on the kmshayloft.com website so I can order another batch right after...

Yeah I was shocked when I saw the size of incision as well , I didn't think it would be that big. But it's gone, hopefully to never come back since the vet said she was positive she got the whole inflamed area where the cyst had formed cleared out and was pretty confident that it is gone and...

Well it's been a week now since Steelix had his surgery. He has really done well, he was sore the first couple days and now he is running and playing with his brothers like there is nothing wrong at all. He has surprisingly left his stitches and the glue the vet put on them alone. I was...

My 3 males are almost 15 months old now, all out of the same litter, been together since birth and the dominance displays are an everyday occurrence at our house. The rumblestrutting, mounting and chasing each other is just something I assumed was part of having 3 males in one cage together. I...

The surgery went really well. He's home and chilling with his brothers right now. He was glad to see me because I had him a pepper pod (small green pepper stuffed with other fresh veggies) since I didn't give him veggies this morning and it's time for the evening veggies. He munched on it all...

Just called and checked on him, he still hasn't went into surgery. They had an emergency surgery come in right after I talked to Clint so everything got put on hold until they could deal with that.

He went in for surgery this morning, I spoke with my friend Clint who is a vet tech there and was going to be assisting with his surgery around 9:15am EST and he said they were getting ready to prep him and take him in and he would let me know something after they were done. When I dropped...

Are you sure that it is the hay that is causing the allergies? I am allergic to the guinea pigs themselves, well their urine is what is causing the allergy. The hay bothers me some but I have to be extremely careful when cleaning the cage and messing with them. I made the mistake last week...

My 3 boys will be complete food snobs at times. They will turn their noses up at the food and walk around it for hours holding out for something different before they will break down and eat it. The only thing I have ever given them that absolutely would not eat at all was summer squash and...

Looking at it from the side it poked out about 1/2 to 3/4 an inch and the hole in the center was completely symmetrical which I thought was odd for a cyst that had ruptured. Of course I haven't ever seen a cyst like that so I have no clue if they typically rupture like that. It had me totally...

Okay I am gonna try to upload the pictures I have they aren't the best but hopefully it will give you an idea.

Has anyone here had experience in dealing with a warble in a guinea pig. Steelix had a lump pop up on him back in the spring (April/May) and I took him in to the vet. The lump was about the size of a kidney bean then. The vet checked it over and felt that it was a fatty cyst and told me to...

Okay I have just found out that my friends New Zealand Red rabbit has been diagnosed with Pasteurella. I have been digging around looking for info on it and keep finding references to how it can be fatal in Guinea Pigs. My biggest question is, how likely are my cavies to get it when my kids...

Well apparently from what my daughter has told me this girl has had lice for a while and her parents wouldn't treat her for it. She got sent home Tuesday when a teacher noticed them crawling all over her hair. I'm thinking they must have been pretty bad for a teacher to notice them walking by...

Okay my daughter came home and told me one of her friends has head lice. She said her head was itching and I figured I would check it even though I thought it was probably psychological. To my surprise I found one live adult head lice crawling in her hair. Not many nits on her head but we are...

Hi I just read down through the post and I'm new here too but I understand the difficulties in finding the cubes. Might I suggest wire closet shelving? That is what I built the walls of my cage with because I couldn't find any cubes with the small squares locally. If have a home improvement...
