A have an elderly friend who as a cockatiel as a pet. The bird is always with her on her shoulder and is very tame. Once she went on holidays on a plane and the bird had to go cargo. My friend said the bird was traumatized for weeks over the sounds he heard while being in cargo. She would...

I'd take the guinea pig, just make sure you have enough supplies for the trip. We know people that took a guinea pig from Australia to the US when they moved. Northern Ireland to the US is a much shorter trip.

One of my piggies Angel had a tumor removed from her rump in May and is still very sensitive on that spot. The hair still hasn't grown back. I find it needs cleaning every now and then because the skin there gets all scaly if I just leave it. Maybe keeping her fur short so she doesn't need...

I'm in Brisbane and you can only buy them at Bunnings. The brand is Allset and it is $14 for 5 grids only. Bunnings used to sell the Rubbermaid ones and they were brilliant, but not anymore. They are hard to find in Bunnings, they are in the storage aisle. There is an ebay seller called...

Just a thought, but could you to a laundromat for your piggy washing. I've heard of other people doing that.

No sorry, I've tried - I rang Uhaul in Australia and they had no idea what I was talking about. I've emailed the uhual US website and got no response at all, I've rung other moving companies and looked at places that might sell moving blankets (eg. car accessory places, bunnings). Basically...

To get rid of the smell you can use baking soda sprinkled on the towel layer or the newspaper layer. This works brilliantly. Just put a single layer of fleece on the top. I rarely do this as my guinea pig fleece is changed daily (I have 2 pigs in a 2x4). Their upstairs 1x2 kitchen gets the...

OMG, I am so sorry. This happened to one of my guinea pigs when I was a child. She ended up being paralysed for the rest of her life (maybe a year or so, but she was an old guinea pig when this happened). My mum looked after her very carefully and she was still able to have a good life. I...

I love fleece.  I tried shavings in our kitchen area (shavings called hysorb) and they were dreadful, mess everywhere.   I've now gone for fleece in the kitchen too.  It is so much easier and quicker to keep clean.My cage is a 4x2 grid on the bottom with a 2x1 kitchen on the top (I have two...

Hmm... I feed my piggies lots of veggies and they rarely touch their hay. I couldn't not feed them veggies though, I would feel mean, they really enjoy veggies.

I've seen this at hardware shops, but you could only buy it in 20 metres coils. Building a ramp with 2 grids is a lot easier. My pigs wont use PVC pipe as a tunnel, so I doubt they would use the drainage pipe.

I'm just new to this too, and I am having a similar problem. We have ramp to the upstairs kitchen and quite often one pig will sit right at the top of the ramp and block the others access to food. It doesn't happen all the time, but it is on the back of my mind. I've noticed that other...

I'm doing this too. We only got our piggies on the weekend, but by Tuesday I had had enough of the hysorb (wood shaving products used in Australia for guineapig bedding) as the mess was huge in the kitchen area (2x1 grids), and the shaving caused mess throughout the cage, the room and down the...

Hi, I'm also from Brisbane. My two guineapigs came from the Australian Cavy Santuary. Bunnings Capalaba has both the ibex (5 pack - $11.50) and the rubbermaid (12 pack $25) grids. They are in the same aisle, but not next to eachother. Used 3 of the rubbermaid packs to make my cage, they are...

Upstairs kitchen and fully enclosed so that the cat and dog (a maltese) cannot get into the cage.
