My little guy is acting very strangely and has been for a few days. But today it's getting really odd. In the past three weeks, we've brought him to the vet three times. We initially brought him because of a severe head tilt, which seems to have waned - but not entirely gone away. My biggest...

Today my husband and I noticed our piggy tilting his head. It looked like our piggy had strained a muscle and couldn't untilt his head. He started walking in circles, and kept his head stuck to the side. It was so sad! We took him to the vet right away and the vet checked for an ear infection...

Hi everyone, I have a two year old boar who has a really terrible smell. He smells like gasoline or petrol or really old tires. It's very pungent. He's been smelling like this on and off for a few months now. We've tried bathing him and cleaning his anal sac, but he still smells atrocious. I'm...

I was trimming my gp's nails today and felt a rough patch on the bottom of his front foot. Upon closer inspection I noticed that he has a crack on the bottom of his foot! The rest of his foot is not swollen or infected and looks normal in terms of colour. Is this bumblefoot? What can I do to...

My two boys were chattering, mounting and biting one another. There was no blood drawn- but they were going at it for a good 40 minutes. So I put a divider up in their cage hoping that they'd calm down.(Also, I'm about to go to bed and I don't want them to draw blood when I'm sleeping). Anyway-...

Just wondering if anyone else kisses their pigs. I read somewhere a long time ago that kissing your guinea pigs is a no-no, but I can't resist and I kiss them all the time. I know, it's a little gross, but I was wondering if anyone else does it! Anyone? Or is it just me? :love:

When my pigs were out during floor time today, I noticed that one of them was experiencing seizures. It was NOT popcorning. It looked just like this: YouTube - **GRAPHIC* * guinea pig experiencing a seizure. He was standing there doing this. When my husband approached, my piggy became startled...

Today I noticed that BOTH of my guinea pigs have tiny little cuts on their ears. It looks like their ear is split a little bit-like 1mm- which doesn't sound like much, but I noticed it. It wasn't there before. I touched the ears a bit, and the pigs didn't squirm- so I don't think there was any...

Are certain breeds of guinea pigs bigger than others? Also are there particular personality traits affiliated with each breed? I would assume that each pig is different, regardless of its breed, but perhaps I'm wrong. My teddy is significantly smaller than my abyssinian. The teddy is...

I set my piggies out for floor time in our hallway and stupidly left out a 6 pak of soy drinks on the floor. I didn't think the pigs would be interested in them, but clearly I was wrong! About half an hour into floor time, my husband screamed...the pigs had eaten a quarter sized hole out of the...

Right now I have a large plastic tray litter box lined with shredded newspaper and hay on one corner of my 2x5 C and C cage. Their litter box has a towel canopy for privacy. The food, second hay rack and water are on the opposite side of the cage. The pigs WERE using their litter box, but...
