They are Rambo and Gizmo, both are 2 years old. I recently moved and started school, and feel I don't have the time for them I used to. They are in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and I would love to find them a good home. Please email me at [email address removed, members can email you through the...

My cage is a 2.5 x 4 grid and I have hideys in opposite corners. One is a two exit cardboard box (a big one) and the other is a grid draped with fleece to make a tent. Both pigs seem to ONLY pee and poop in there. When I noticed it, I switched the corners and put a litter box (hay area) where...

I know how important hay is to pigs but I wanted to know if there is any substitute? Please no snarky comments.... I currently feed them unlimited hay in a hay loft but I'm moving soon to a smaller apartment (currently live at home in a big house) and both me and my boyfriend are allergic to the...

I've had my pigs (two males) for about a year and a half. They were living in one cage that was split in two for the last year because they fought too much. About two months ago, I removed the "split" and they lived together in one big cage. They did the normal dominance stuff with a few bite...

I know I put boars under in heat but I want to know If boars ever get more... Roudy? My pigs -two 1.5 year old boars- are usually fine but the odd time once every couple months the one pig starts chasing the other and trying to hump him (not mount-hump!) and the other pig can't hardly leave his...

Last night I was woken up by a strange sound at about 2 am. My guinea pigs are in a the room next to mine, and I had my door closed and tv on and it still woke me up. I thought it was the fire alarm beeping at first :confused: I googled it and saw that it's kind of common in sows (I have two...

I posted pictures yesterday of a spot of hair missing on my pig's nose: https://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/briannebarkley/009-1.jpg?t=1272903878 And I'm worried now that it might be ringworm and not just some battle injury from my other guinea pig. The other pig has some crusty stuff...

I just noticed this tonight. It wasn't there yesterday when I looked in on them. It looks like a little bald spot on my pig's nose. When I looked closer, the hair around it was clumped as if it was wet or something. They were just to the vet like a month ago to check for mites/fleas (and they...

Last summer I made a make-shift "playpen" out of the grids and cable ties... It wasn't too sturdy and definitely not easy on the eyes. I was hoping to make a nice sturdy one with some 2 x 4s and maybe wire mesh or something like that? Has anyone ever built some like this? Kind of like a rabbit...

I am no guinea pig expert, so I don't know the difference between "showing dominance" and fighting enough that they should be separated. I have two un-neutered males and they had been separated for the last 6 months or so. I've just built them a bigger cage and put them back together, and it...

My guinea pigs (two un-neutered males) are about a year and a half old. Last summer, I separated them by splitting their cage in half with two grids. That way they still saw each other but couldn't squabble. I'm trying to reintroduce them now and when I watch them I only notice the "normal"...

I am thinking about purchasing one (two eventually but they're so expensive!) and I wanted everyone's opinions from people who have bought them, or have made them: What do you think is the best option? -Buying a full made piggy bedspread - it's worth the money! -Buying just the "fleece" piggy...

I've just been reading in the Medical section and I keep making my self paranoid. I have two male pigs that are about a year and a half and I haven't seen anything, but I'm just wondering on what's the frequency on the impaction? Would it be smart to neuter the boys before they're older so the...

I just got home with my fleece and it's on its first wash cycle. Got an awesome deal ($6/m instead of normal $19/m at Fabricland in Alberta if anyone else is from here!) and I'm going to be revamping the cage (bigger) on the weekend and fitting the fleece in. My questions are first off, what in...

Last week I was trimming my long hair pig, and I noticed greasy-feeling spots and on inspection, saw little black pieces (sort of like dandruff) around his hairline and in his hair. I have not noticed him itching or acting funny. When you touch his back, he does sort of tense up though. He has...

I have two guinea pigs and a question for each. My first pig is a long hair and I was recently trimming him and I found greasy-feeling areas, which -when i looked closer - had black dandruff looking stuff coming off his skin. I looked really close and they weren't moving as far as I could tell...

I just looked at the Ikea website (I'm in Canada, if that matters :) ) And I saw these fleece blankets: IKEA | Bedlinen | Bedspreads | BLOMÖRT | Bedspread/ blanket They're cheap compared to the 15/yard fabric, and it actually has kind of cute prints :) Would this work for the bedding okay? It's...

This is my current cage: As you can see, it is the min requirement of 2x4 BUT it's split in two because my two pigs (males) get into fights when they're together. Now, the problem is - they fight but they also hate to be apart. :rolleyes: They lay next to each other by the cage divider and...

I'm planning on going and buying some fleece to use as my guinea pig bedding. I still live at home (in university...:grumpy:) and my parents are worried about me washing the bedding in the washing machine. I told them that there's no poos or hay or anything that I'll put in but they insist that...

I've had my two guinea pigs for a little over a year now, and I have a 2x4 grid cage for them. I wish I could make it HUGE but I don't have the space. Anyways, just a couple questions: 1.)What's a good, easy, and clean way to let them out to exercise? I have a huge ring made out of cardboard...
