    I can't keep my girls...

    Yes, I am extremely thankful to LauraBean! And, Kathlaaron- she is fostering, and she actually lives about 10 minutes from me! She assured me I can come by and visit any time at all until I can take them back lol

    I can't keep my girls...

    Just an update- Roxie and Josie went to their foster home today. LauraBean and her gorgeous piggies have taken them into their lovely piggy home. Roxie, who is accustomed to unchallenged dominance, put on quite a show for us by immediately attempting to dethrone the much larger queen piggy :eek...

    Hay Kleenmama question

    I ordered 2nd cut this time... Linda sent me an e-mail at the time they shipped it that my shipping label and such said "3rd cut" but that the shipment was actually the 2nd cut that I ordered. So it might be that there was some labeling confusion going on. If there are no seed heads at all, you...

    I can't keep my girls...

    I'm registering on guinealynx right now actually lol Is it the Cavy Placement Forum I should be going to? I have used their site to look up medical info and such, but didn't realize they had adoption forums as well.

    Hay KM Hay & Pellets - How much to order for two GPs

    It's only available online- at (broken link removed) The shipping can be a bit shocking, but comparing it to store bought, it's actually a great deal. When I first got my pigs I was using Kaytee hay and pellet (yuck). A 24 oz. bag of Kaytee hay was $3.50... and 1.5 pound bag of pellet was...

    I can't keep my girls...

    KiwiCavyAdorer- that is an excellent idea! I hadn't even thought of a possible temporary foster home. I will message a few people on here that I know are local for me in the morning. I would absolutely love to still be a part of their lives and contribute to their needs... and maybe just maybe...

    I can't keep my girls...

    Thanks Onetwo- my girls are the one thing I prayed I'd be able to hold on to. Just praying I can find them a good home as willing to spoil them as I have been ❤️ I have never posted on guinealynx... do you use the same login and password as for here, or create a new one?

    I can't keep my girls...

    Hi, I have two beautiful girls (Roxie and Josie) that I have to re-home. They are both around 10 months old and are healthy and very well socialized. I have had them for 6 months. I am completely devestated :weepy: Due to a stream of events that landed my husband in rehab and without a job and...

    Vegetables Can guinea pigs have olives?

    The olives as we eat them in salads and such are processed and marinated/seasoned, come out of a can or jar and shouldn't be fed to a guinea pig. Only fresh non-processed and non-seasoned veggies are okay for them.

    Cage Help me PLEASE!!

    Ha- my husband actually built the whole cage the first time around- I did the decor (fleece, beds, etc.). I think I overestimated my construction abilities! It is under control now and looks pretty decent, but I expected it to be done in 2 hours (not the 9 it ended up taking!). I'm glad my girls...

    Cage Help me PLEASE!!

    Yeah.... after about an hour of floortime my girls are always ready to get back in the cage. All this floortime and me almost in tears over this cage has had them wheeking at me constantly! They will get an extra special salad shortly lol

    Cage Help me PLEASE!!

    Thank you to everyone for your help and feedback- I live near High Point, NC... twice a year they have the International Home Furnishings Market. They are preparing for the next one in April. I contacted a friend who does work setting up furniture market showrooms and he has connectors he is...

    Cage Help me PLEASE!!

    Onetwo- oops... yeah I meant zip ties (twist ties would be pretty hysterical!). Okay, well maybe I'm just not using enough. And I may have to ditch the stand if they don't work for a stand since I don't know of any store I can run to for just connectors and my pigs sure need a cage. Thanks...

    Cage Help me PLEASE!!

    Correction to my above thread- ZIP ties.... not twist ties, I am using zip ties.... sorry

    Cage Help me PLEASE!!

    I decided to completely rebuild my c&c cage today. I used the connectors the first time around, and since I've seen on here that zip ties are much easier I decided to go with twist ties this time. I broke most of my connectors taking the cage apart. I am now trying to build my new cage and I do...

    Hay KM Hay & Pellets - How much to order for two GPs

    Like Ly said, I think 3rd cut timothy is generally the best. However, in an e-mail conversation with Linda at KM's before I placed my most recent order she actually advised me to order 2nd cut this time around. She said that hay crops were problematic this season and that her 2nd cut is actually...

    Elroy, Rockit and Chewy - New to the site (pics included)

    Wow... I'm awestruck by your cage (as well as your extremely attractive pigs). I have seen many actual houses that looked easier to build than your cage lol I was planning to do some cage renovations myself in the coming day.... I will not allow my pigs to look at your pictures, I certainly...
