    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...

    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.

    Does anyone have any idea why my pig is acting like this? The last few days I keep trying to pick him up but he keeps chattering his teeth. I can pet him while in the cage but he says forget it when I try to pick him up. I am being careful cause I dont want him to bite me cause of the...

    General Need Hay Advice

    I found a farm right down the road from me that has a 45lb bale of hay for $5!! That is an amazing deal but I have a few questions that I need answered from experts! I asked if he had Timothy hay with no alfafa or chemicals or anything. He said "Yes we do. Wait, you don't want alfafa? I have a...

    Play Fleece forest but with a twist!

    So I was sitting here thinking what I could do for my guinea pigs without spending money. I have limited amount of fleece and really didn't want to cut it up. This is what I came up with: They do not nibble at it at all and are perfectly fine! Buddy loves it so much. He is in it every...

    General I figured out a good cage setup!!

    I think I finally figured out something that may work for me! There are still some additions that I want to add but for now it is working and my boys are super happy! This is a 3x4 with a 2x4 loft. I have noticed them chattering their teeth at each other a lot and just not liking being too...

    General Cage setup

    Okay guys I need some ideas for a new cage setup for my pigs. I have been looking at pictures but reading ideas will help too! I moved a month ago and unfortunately only have space for them on the floor. My room is in the basement and I think it works out best that they are on the floor because...

    General KMS hay

    I so badly want to try KMS hay but I feel that the shipping cost is crazy high. I know it seems worth it but before I order ($21 shipping for hay and pellets or 15 for just hay) is there anywhere else I can get good hay from? The hay I just bought from the store is horrible. I just do not have...

    Play Kitchen floor time

    Is it completely horrible for guinea pigs to walk on the kitchen floor? I have created many play areas but I am coming to the conclusion that the kitchen floor is easier for me. I live in an apartment and pay for laundry so I am trying to eliminate extra costs and I have added a lot of piggy...

    Weight Are my pigs too big?

    How much should a pig weigh at almost 8 months old? My one pig weighs just shy of 2 lbs and the other one is maybe 1lb 9 or so. The vet said they were very healthy, although this was in the beginning of March, I know that they both have put on weight. How am I supposed to know if they are...

    General Tunnel help!!

    I bought this tunnel (link below) a few months ago and I am still not sure if this thing is "safe" or not. My guinea pigs ABSOLUTELY love it. They go crazy over it. I actually dont put up the cube anymore, I just have the long red tunnel velcro to the carpet and they literally run in circles...

    General Summer concerns!

    I was wondering how it would work having window AC in during the summer. I have a pretty nice size living room. The playpen is in the corner of the living room and the window is on the other side behind the chair. Is there going to be a problem having their play area in the same room? The only...

    General UHaul pad questions.

    I have been reading up on the threads about Uhaul pads but still have a few questions. Do you have to wash it a bunch of times before using? If so, how do you know when it has been washed enough. I have to pay for laundry and it would suck to pay a lot. I REALLY want to clean out the boys cage...

    So Frustrating!

    I just have to get this off my chest and this website is the only place where people will understand. Have you ever been attached to something so much that you go overboard to make sure they are taken care of well? Well that is what is going on here. I love my guinea pigs and can't help but to...

    Behavior Wild boars!

    Okay, I just have to get a few things off my mind and maybe in return I can get some answers! When I first got Buddy he was such a calm mellow guinea pig. So sweet and cuddly! The second pig that I got was my nieces and we was a wild one! He chewed on his cage bars, constantly climbed and was...

    General Pictures of cage!

    Hey guys! I just wanted to share some pictures!! I took them from my cell phone so I hope you guys can see them okay! This is a view of my cage. I used to have the 1x2 loft on the actual 2x4 but realized that it would be annoying to clean. I then had the idea to make the loft "Hang" so I built...

    Chewing Fleece Forest

    For people who use the fleece forest, do your guinea pigs try to chew/eat the fleece? I want to make one but my two like to nibble or literally chew things apart. I also wanted to make like a "door" with fleece hanging down each side of a grid so they have a hide out. Anyways, just wanted to get...
