This is a write-up that Chrissie, the owner of Gorgeous Guineas, has done on Proud Owners of Guinea pigs in Singapore (POGS), a group which I had set up for the owners of guinea pigs in my country about 2 years ago. (broken link removed) Facebook link: I have seen quite a number of guinea...

Ginger used to that to Coral. Both are females as well. But she only did it for the first few weeks, to show that she is the dominant one I guess. After that, she stopped the behaviour and is much sweeter to Coral now :)

Ginger is officially on a strike - she is refusing to take treats from me but is still eating a bit of hay and pellets. That's all because I brought her to the vet to get her nails trimmed.

Haha it's a relief that they would understand cos if I go in and clear away the poop, they would have felt disturbed and definitely I won't be able to get the shot when they are both sitting together. And this is also a particularly rare scene as Ginger usually will not tolerate Coral resting so...

I will take a look at your pictures soon, still finding out how to navigate around here. I am trying to figure out how to upload the pictures as well (yes, I am rather slow haha) I gave them a bath as they have been smelling of urine and I don't really fancy that smell when I am holding and...

Hi all! To clarify, they are both girls :) I made a mistake with my pronoun in my post above, my apologies. And I have since changed their names to Ginger and Coral as I think these two are more suitable for them (based on their fur coat). Any idea where I can post pictures here? Can I post...

It's alright...we are all here to learn after all :) How old are your piggies? I just weighed them earlier on and they seem to be maintaining their weight from yesterday. MinMin - 380g and MoonMoon - 580g. Will continue to monitor for the rest of the week until their behaviour returns to normal...

I'm sorry if the question I have asked have been asked before but yea, I am new to the whole business of owning guinea pigs and I have heard that they go downhill quickly, so I was concerned. Imagine that you are having them for the very first time, wouldn't you be? :) Thanks a lot for the...

Hi, I got two new guinea pigs about a week plus ago. One is 6 months old (MoonMoon) and the other is 3 months (MinMin). Up to yesterday, they had been fine, always very excited to come to the side of the cage the moment they heard the rustle of plastic bags, etc. They will be very enthusiastic...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I only have one litter box, might consider getting another one soon. However, I realised my piggies like to fight for items in the cage eg. I have two water bottles placed on opposite ends of the cage but both of them only seem interested in the one on the left...

I have just gotten two girls last week so I guess they are still getting used to me. I have been trying to give them floor time and lap time daily at around the same time. The older one, MoonMoon are bolder and would allow me to briefly stroke him in the cage, especially if my hand comes...

Unfortunately, I don't really have a room which I can leave the play pen set-up. I am considering putting the grids to the wall to prevent them from running to other area. But the flooring is a problem...my piggies don't seem to like walking and running on newspaper. If I used fleece and they...

I lined the entire cage with fleece. So it is indeed strange that they like to sleep on the litter box (which does not look very comfortably by the way because it is covered by a wire rack) rather than sleep on the fleece. I do have boxes lined with fleece which they can hop into and sleep but...

I also find floor time a pain. They are both currently living in a 4ft x 2ft cage, which is supposedly large enough for two female piggies. I let them have some floor time tonight and it took so much time to set up, to lay out the newspapers and to have them pee all over the newspaper! My floor...

Ok, I tried again tonight and seems to be more successful. Before I took them out, I sort of gave them their fave food (wheatgrass) and everytime before I let them take a strand, I will stroke them first. If they let me stroke them, I will let them take a strand. They were running away at first...

Hi, this is my first thread :) Hopefully I have posted this in the right place. I have just gotten myself two piggies and they like sleeping on the litter box. They are quite consistent in using the litter box so the problem comes when one is sleeping on the litter box and the other is in the...

I am having the same problem as well. I have just gotten two piggies - MoonMoon (6 months old) and MinMin (2 months old). I got them around 3 days ago and now when they see my hands inside the cage, they will come around to sniff to see if there is food. If there is no food, they will bolt away...
