Ahhh, Thanks for the link! I've already started reading it. I've Introduced many rats before, it looks to be a similar procedeure. > Timon is around 2.5 years old, maybe a little older. He was the more dominant of the two boys. The main reason I was considering a companion for him is because...

As I posted in the "In Memory" Forum, my boy Pumbaa passed away about a week ago. I now have a single Guinea Pig, alone, Timon. He seems rather depressed, and while he is eating and I feel so bad, he just sits in his house and hardly wheeks anymore. However, I am nervous about getting another...

Why do your parents have such a say in how you take care of your pets? I'm not sure how you old you are, but since I was around 10, I was allowed to make choices on what I found was best for my pets. (I was a real nerdy kid, constantly in the library doing the research, always upgrading my pets...

He was so freaking young! I have no idea what happened either, I am such a wreck right now. I was going to a friends house for the night last night, so around 7 pm i changed water and fed the pigs and rats. All was well. I asked my mom to peek in on them before she left for work at 10:30 and to...

It kind of looks like a ringworm or fungus spot. Its common for the hair to stick together when they have that I believe. https://www.guinealynx.info/fungus.html for more info.

I'm just wondering where you guys order your pellets, Oxbow or otherwise. Please share what pellets you use and how much you pay for how many pounds, as well as about how much they charge for shipping. My car broke down and only one place sells oxbow near me, and its so far away :sad: It's been...

So what you are suggesting is the OP have her sister, who is badly allergic, deal with the allergies and keep the pigs rather then start now to find a home where they will get better care? Surely, the OP's sister, as she is allergic, will not want to handle the pigs or feel very happy about...

No, people that adopt a "failed" or retired guide or service only want them as pets, which one reason I posted it on this forum. (To get the opinions on a rescue friendly forum) they could adopt homeless dogs, but they adopt these ones instead. a few on the list do "need" these dogs in a sense...

I wanted to ask and see what your guys' opinion is on service dog organizations breeding there own dogs. These orgainizations fix the dogs they place and always make sure they get to good home, however they are still adding more dogs to the population. About "the why don't they use rescue dogs...

Let me a little more clear for those that may have misunderstood. The petsmart close to me is the only one publicly partnered with a rescue.(I could be mistaken, thats what it says on the rescues site) the rescue has its own area inside the store. ALL of its small pets, birds, ect. comes from...

1 cat, Cindy, she is 16! 2 Guinea Pigs, Timon and Pumba...just got them recently - they are so cute! 3 dogs, a cocker spaniel (Molly,13) a chihuahua (Hope,9) and a black lab (Kirby,5) 5 rats: Neela, Harvee, Quinn, and two so far unnamed babies :) Pending - a smooth collie puppy to be raised...

I actually agree with you on everything but this. I did want to say that when you are a minor and you do well in school and are well behaved, you are being responsible for yourself as much as you can be. I know many minors who completely ruined their lives due to lack of responiblity at a young...

Thanks for all the advice guys! I am building them a 2x4 C&C cage after christmas, so they will only be in the tiny for a few more days I hope...I'll post a pic when I finish it! The chew sticks they have look like logs, the are actually made of wood and they adore them. They drag them all...

Mainly Rat rescue also does rattie trains so rats from them are brought to upstate NY frequently. I adpoted two lovely girls from them and I live in upstate NY. I got them when they did transport over the summer. Absolutely love this organization!

OMG yes!!! rats make awesome pets! my mother didn't like rat tail's either, but I went out and got rats anyway (NOT condoning that, I just knew my mom is a sucker for babies) I now have 5. They are the most sociable caged pet I have had, they are even more sociable than my cat and some of the...

Thats super cool! congrats!

Ok, so I seem to have aquired two GP really last min and as a newbie owner, I just want to go over things to make sure I'm doing everything right. I have two males, they are second hand pigs I took them from a friend who could no longer financally support them. He loved his pigs dearly, but...

My local petsmart is partnered with my local humane society (lollipop farm) and all its birds, small animals, and cats come from the rescue where you must be screened, fill out an adpotion contract and be interviewed before being allowed even to handle the animal you are looking to adopt. I know...
