    Behavior Loss of a Cage Mate - Advice on Caring for a newly single piggy

    This past weekend, we lost one of our fur babies. We now have a single pig in our home. We immediately washed absolutely everything in the house that might have had her sisters scent on it. We have mixed up Cheri's daily routine, and have given her a stuffed animal for extra snuggles. My...

    Conditions Possible UTI or Behavioral Issue?

    My 3 year old female piggy, Ginny, has been acting odd yesterday and today and I wanted to get some opinions on what it could be. I've had her since she was very young, so I am very familiar with her sick signs vs her behavioral quirks. Starting yesterday she has been crying more than usual...

    Vet Costs Anyone from NH? I think I need a new vet...

    So I need to take my piggies to the vet tomorrow because I think one or both of my babies has fleas or hair mites... something like that... Anyway, I'm apprehensive about my vet because last time I went, they charged me $75.00 per piggy for a check-up visit! I paid $150.00 for both piggies to...

    Aggression Sudden onset of bullying... Cause? How to deal with it?

    So we have had our piggies for about 5 months now, when we got them they were babies (about 2-3 months). Both are girls, both came from the same litter, both are currently caged together and have lived together since birth. Cheri, has always been more dominant than Ginny (our baby). Ginny is...

    Sick Puffed Piggies... Oh no, I didn't think it was bad...

    So as I was perusing the forums here I read one that said if your piggie puffs up she is sick! My piggies occasionally puff up when they snuggle together or if I give them a treat. I thought it was something they did when they were happy! This morning I gave them a baby carrot each (which they...

    Chewing Determined Chewing on Cage Bars... An organized breakout?

    I have two little piggies about three months old now and we upgraded them to a bigger cage (C&C style of 2x4) with a (2x2) loft addition to be added this weekend. Prior to being in this cage they had hours of floor time. Since I work from home I just let them have the run of the living room all...

    In Heat Is this a sign of being in heat?

    I have two female piggies, both are about 2 months old. When I was playing with them on the floor this evening I noticed some hay stuck to the underside of one of my girls. I pulled it off and noticed a clear kind of sticky discharge from her vaginal area. She is eating fine, not lost any...

    Sounds Can't tell what she is saying...? and one more question...

    I've had my little girl for three days now and I thought that when I petted/scratched her bum very gently she was purring in a good way. Now I'm not quite sure... Her voice in general is high pitched so I'm having a hard time discerning what is a happy purr and a discontented burr. Is there any...

    Getting Back into the Guinea Scene

    Hi everyone, I am joining this forum because I loved the content that is posted. It has helped me a lot with my research about guinea pigs. I owned guinea pigs as a child and didn't do tons of research about specifics and behavior. My little one, Nicoma, lived to be over 9 years old, so I guess...
