    Pet Stores Petland Employee

    Someone mentioned that they'd like to see a pet store that only has animals for adoption that were strays not from breeders, I have one in my town!! I live in West Chester, PA. There is a little pet supply store that always takes in a few stray cats or dogs at a time and they adopt them out...

    GRRR!! Why does my dog do this!!

    My dog used to potty on the floor if we locked her out of the bedroom for the night. She did it because she was mad at us. I bought doggy diapers and once she realized she was "punishing" herself she stopped.

    Pet Stores hosting adoptions???

    Our local pet stores also host shelters. One of them even hosts the Humane Society. I personally believe that the reason the pet stores do this is bc if someone adopts a pet, chances are they will buy pet supplies when they are there. So even though they do not profit from the sale of an animal...

    Mites Is this mites or not?

    I guess I should also mention that I knew something was up with Dexter when I adopted him. He actually didn't itch a whole lot so I didn't even know he had mites at first, my only clue was that he as well squeeled in pain when being held or when being pet. Then came the dandruff and it seemed as...

    Mites Is this mites or not?

    When my Dexter had mange mites my vet did not do a skin scrape, he found a very dry dandruffy patch of skin and with a tweezer yoinked a few of Dexters hairs out! They came out so easily that Dexter didn't even make a sound! He looked at the hairs under a microscope and found the mites. Then...

    Upper Levels Should I make an upper level?

    My 2 boys love their ramp! When I introduced them to the ramp they looked at me like I was crazy. However, after they checked it out they spent a few days going up and down the ramp for fun! Also, I believe that ramps also provide great exercise which we know our piggies need! Any movement on an...

    Blog It All Started With One Little Pig...

    It all started when I was in 5th grade, one day my best friend Pam came home with a Guinea Pig! My gang of friends were in awe! This was the sweetest little creature I had ever seen. We debated for a week of what Pam should name her. Each of us had our own suggestion, mine at the time was...

    Coroplast Cute C&C story!

    When I decided to build my boys a C&C cage I called all of te local hardware stores and no one even knew what coroplast was! Finally my husband found me a local sign store that sold it. I called ahead for pricing and to make sure they'd sell me a sheet. When I went in to buy it the lady rang up...

    Exercise Behavior in new cage

    That's great! When I switched my piggies to a C&C cage they did the same. I decided to keep the old cage to put them in sometimes when I clean their C&C, If my cats are preventing floor time, and the first time I put them back into their old cage they both make a yucky wheek sound and looked at...

    Getting Along This is ridiculous.

    I'm very new to this board, but I can tell you that the people here are a wealth of knowledge to any Guinea Pig owner. I spent many of my childhood years involved as a member of my local 4-H Cavy Club and I have learned more about pigs from this board than from 4-H. It also seems like you can...

    Bedding cheap care fresh alternative?

    That Fish Place AKA That Pet Place is a pet store in Lancaster, PA. It is actually the largest pet store in the country and since they are also smack in the middle of a farming community they sell pet supplies at a lower price. They ship to anywhere in the US and I believe Canada also. Google...

    Size How to calculate sq ft of a C&C cage?

    I was looking at the pre-made C&C cages and I think their measurements for sq ft are off. I'm not trying to be rude I just think they are miscalculated. If you calculate sq ft by LxW divided by 12 inches in a foot then each 14 inch cube provides 1.63 sq feet. So a 2x5 C&C cage would provide...

    Exercise Are "pig-kabobs" bad to have?

    I just built a 10 cube C&C cage for my two boars. I am trying to make this space as enjoyable for them as possible and provide their food and forage in various ways to keep things interesting. One way I am providing fresh foods to them (aside from scattering forage daily) is by using a...

    I'm not sure how to feel about this, what do you guys think?

    Guinea Pig town looked like the life until you saw where and how they were kept when not having free time outside! It looked dirty, cramped and BORING! Poor pigs, I'd also like to know how that person I providing proper vet care for all of those piggies! Not to mention watching each pig to make...
