Hi everyone! I used to come here to the forum very often and recieved some of my best advice on how to care for my girls. But I am now embarassed to have to post this thread. My husband has gone through a bout of unemployment, I work for our public school system and with summer here have no...

Okay so I am now on my third type of hay for my girls. 1st we used Kaytee Timothy hay, it was very hard like straw but still fragrant. Then I bought Sweet Meadow Timothy, it was very soft and curly and super fragrant. Now I have purchased a somewhat huge bag of Oxbow Timothy, it is straw like...

Okay, so I feel slightly stupid having to ask this question, I see tons of posts on here pertaining to piggy breadspreads, however, I am still lost at the concept of how to make one. Right now I am lining my cage with 2 or 3 towels and then a layer of fleece that when I cut it I left about 4...

Hi everyone! Our girls are probably about 14 weeks old now, we have had them since Feb. 5th and they are still very skittish. Even when I hold out lettuce or something to try and coax them out, I still have to spend a few minutes running laps around the cage with them to get them out in order to...

I was just wondering what kind of things everyone uses as their "treat" for their piggie, as in what is their favorite once in a while treat that you know they will come out of hiding for no matter what?

Well, I finally got the fleece in about a week ago, and actually these photos are of the second fleece I put in their cage. I bought 4 different patterns of fleece for their cage. I have plenty left to try and make some of the tunnels and cozies I see instructions on here for. The girls...

I went to the store today and bought all different lettuces for the girls. I bought red leaf, green leaf, escarole (spelling?), romaine, radiccio, and also romaine. When I came home I stood and patiently tore all the leaves away from the stalks then stored appropriately. So here are my questions...

Hey everyone. I was just wondering how everyone preps and stores their veggie? I am currently looking for a way to keep my veggies fresh longer. I go to the store about once a week, and since our grocery stores don't have alot of the different things the piggies like, my girls regularly get...

Hi everyone again.... I have a couple quick questions.... 1. I am changing my girl's from bedding (Care Fresh) to fleece tonihgt, I have washed the fleece and dried it 4 times. When I clean out the bedding I want to clean the chloroplast. I bought a spray bottle to mix vinegar and water. Should...

Hey all... Just wondering if I am giving my girls enough veggies/fruits or too much? I normally give them at 7:30 am a small bowl with 3-4 strips of yellow and 3-4 strips of green pepper, 2 round slices cut in half of zucchini, and maybe either 1 baby carrot cut into 4 strip length wise, 2...

I was just wondering when it comes to keeping your piggies clean and smell free, I have read it here that actually bathing them is not really recommended and it dries their skin out, but when I was at the pet store, right where they carry the piggie and small animal shampoo, they have a I guess...

Yippee!!!! I just got my fleece yesterday, local fabric store had fleece on sale 40% off, so I went shopping. So I red the fleece study posted here, wonderful by the way. And even though I read it I still want to clarify a few things before I get started... 1. I am going to wash the fleece 3x...

First I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome here to the community and posting forum. Everyone's advice has been awesome!!!!! Being a first time guinea pig owner, I have to say I did not do any research before I got my babies, I just went and got them, and then started learning. Now to...

HI again all!!! Well we finally finished our first cage. And given the girls were sharing a starter guinea pig cage from the pet store, I would say they feel their new home is practically a mansion, size wise for now. Seeings how they are only 10 weeks old (about that), and we are limited for...

HI again everyone... Here I am again, so I bought all the materials, and so far I have actually put all the grids together. I built a 2x3 (floor deminsion) cage with a 1x2 (floor deminsion) second story. The saide wals are all 1 grid so 1 high all the way around except of course where the second...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum here. I found ya'll last night and must have read until 2 this morning all of the suggestions for feeding to building a cage. Well tonight I am going to build my girls a nice cage. I got the chloroplast with no problem for really cheap and then I ran into the...
