    Blog May need to find new home for my boys :(

    Yes it is so hard!! My parents now how much I want them so I asked if they could keep them but they don't want them. They are older so they don't want more responsibility. I should have been looking for a home a lot sooner but didn't want to face the fact that I really may have to find a new...

    Blog May need to find new home for my boys :(

    I unfortunately have to move and where I am moving does not allow pets at all and I can't afford to get kicked out cause I am hiding them. I am not sure if this is posted in the right section since the remodeling of this page is different but if anyone is close to me at all and is need of two...

    Thats good! When you find a coroplast shop, you can give them the measurements you need and they will cut it! At least the one I went to will. I bought one sheet and it was horrible, so if you are a bad crafty person like me and can't use a box cutter in one straight line then a good suggestion...

    Your welcome! Coroplast is corrugated plastic. People use these at sign shops. Fast signs is a pretty popular shop and thats where I get mine. You will have to do a little research to see where you can get it. For a 4ft by 8ft sheet of coroplast its normally around $30 but a LOT of people find...

    Make sure you can get the 8 or 9 hole grids cause they will try to get out and may get stuck!

    Yes this link will show you pictures of the grids. The 3rd and 5th picture are the ones your looking at.. storage cubes at Target

    It is going to be more expensive to purchase one thats already set up. You can buy grids at Target or Bed Bath and Beyond. Coroplast can be purchased at sign stores but you dont necessarily need it. I hope that helps!

    General Questions about hay.

    Yeah that makes sense! I would love to save hay but at the same time they were soo cute when i filled the litter pan with hay. They popcorned and jumped right underneath. Maybe every now and then I will just put a pile of it in the cage and not as a litter bedding. Thanks (:

    Behavior Is my Guinea pig scared, depressed, or just tired?

    He is definitely scared! Mine took awhile to get comfortable. What I did to monitor his eating and drinking was to mark the water level on the bottle, and to leave food in certain places. Come back later or in the morning and check. 99% of the time, its gone! Mine would run laps around the cage...

    General Questions about hay.

    I was also thinking of layering the litter pans with hay as a bedding as well as them rolling around in it! I dont know if this will be more of a hassle, so far so good. I will have to try it out when I order!

    General Questions about hay.

    Okay I honestly wasn't sure what to do. I want my pigs to be happy and I know they love to burrow so I am not sure..? Thanks though (:

    General Questions about hay.

    Those of you who have 2 pigs. How long does 15 lbs of KMS hay last you? I am going to keep a hay bag filled at all times, and I have 2 litter pans that I will fill with hay for them to either eat or roll around in. My one boar loves to sleep in litter boxes so this will be more comfy I am sure...

    Fleece Fleece Not Wicking? HELP.

    I had bad luck when wicking my fleece. I literally washed most of them 6-8 times. After each washing, put a towel underneath and pour some water on and check it. It shouldnt take much longer. Good luck with it, it is definitely frustrating. I have NO idea how everyone else gets away with 3 washes (:

    Nails/Nail Trimming Buddys dramatic day!

    Yes it was definitely a scary experience that I was dreading it happened. I am just thankful I wasn't alone! My two are some wiggle worms, Snickers being worse than Buddy! I definitely want to get a brick/rock for their cage hoping that will help but I am going to wait for a few months til...

    Nails/Nail Trimming Buddys dramatic day!

    My friend has experience with cutting animal nails so she was the one doing the pressure to stop the blood! I was feeding him veggies but he didnt want them, he honestly just wanted to cuddle with me. My friend was so scared that she really hurt my pig so she said she wouldnt feel good until the...

    Nails/Nail Trimming Buddys dramatic day!

    So one of my fears came true today! I took my pigs to my friends house to get help to click their nails since I was still too nervous to cut their nails. Everything was going great until Buddy jerked his paw and my friend cut the quick. He was bleeding every where. My friend was almost in...

    Behavior Chattering teeth.

    Lol that is funny. I find it funny how they love the feet but when your literally sitting there on the ground with them they won't come near you sometimes. Interesting little animals (:

    Behavior Chattering teeth.

    Thanks Guineapigs2468, its weird cause he used to be the one that would run to me first while my other one was shy. They definitely switched personalities with that and I am not sure what caused him to be "scared" of me but I will definitely try that. I do sit in the cage with them (on a clean...
