    General Main screen is in metric

    How do I get the main screen to display in feet and inches? Mine is showing in metric, and even tho I've had Guinea pigs for a while, I always check cage size to make sure I meet or exceed cage size.

    So, I took in a pregnant piggie, Bryony, and she successfully delivered 2 babies. (2 were born dead, and 2 were born alive). The babies are 3 weeks old, and thank goodness, they are both girls, so they can stay with Mamma. Now, I have 3 cages of girls-1 set is older and more settled, 1 cage is...

    Upper Levels Building a 2 level cage

    I decided to go with a straight C&C cage so I can stack them and save space. The cages are 2 1/2 grids wide by 4 grids long. My problem: I used zip ties instead of the connectors. Does using the connectors make it sturdier? And the top level seems to sag a bit, but I don't want to put...

    Feet I need shoe design help for my pig.

    I've been trying to come up with a shoe or flip flop design for my girl Daphne. Something happened neurologically, and her front foot curls up like a fist. She walks on it like that, and it's losing muscle tone. If I could make her straighten it out and walk on it properly, I think the...

    Cage Cage size help needed for boars

    I have my 4 girls in a 18 sq ft cage made from white wire shelving. I'm fostering 2 boars who arrived in the largest pet store cage. Now that they are healthier and settled in, the teeth chattering and yawning have begun. I put them in a 3ft by 3ft cage that I made with whatever supplies I...

    Cleaning Fleece in the kitchen?

    Does anyone use fleece in their kitchen area? I have fleece in the main part of the cage, but the 4 girls do most of their urinating in the kitchen where I have piddle pads on the bottom, then newspaper with carefresh on top. Every 3 days it starts to smell, and it's sopping wet all the way...

    Conditions bumblefoot, impactions, etc

    OK, I've been reading all day on Guinea Lynx, and I have some questions. Please don't tell me to go to the vet, it's not an option. Long story. 1. Can I use this on the boars red, chapped feet? Is it safe? It's meant for dogs. I could let it absorb, then wipe it off. I can't get coconut...

    Frustrated So annoyed!

    I saw an add here to foster 2 boars til their owner gets back from traveling. I checked Google maps, and it was a 2 1/2 hr drive, but I felt badly that this girl was going to lose her pigs, so I offered to foster. NEVER AGAIN! :mad: It took 3 hrs to drive into New York City, then I had to...

    General Best / most surprising thing learned

    As I tooling about this morning, I found myself reflecting on how much I've learned in a such a short time on this site. I have been darn lucky I haven't killed my bunny or guinea pig with "kindness" by feeding the wrong foods, or had a fatality because I hadn't recognized a sign of impending...

    Reference Sewing tiips needed

    I'm trying to sew an "envelope" to put my 2 layers of U Haul pads in so they last longer in the washer. I'm using an old bed sheet as the cover. The problem is that when I get to the last side, it seems the pads have bunched a little inside the "envelope". I pin it, I try so hard to keep...

    C&C Alternatives My new cage

    My cage has to withstand 10 feral cats , some of which are pushing 20 lbs, so I was afraid the cube grids wouldn't be strong enough, and went with the wire shelving. Here's my new 3ft by 6ft cage for the 4 "Guinea Girls". Even without the originally planned second level kitchen, they have a ton...

    General In support of fostering

    I found myself going off on a tangent, so I thought I would post a new thread. When adding to your herd, or starting a new herd of a different sex, consider fostering through your local shelter or rescue. There are so many out there. Many rescues are privately run, and are overwhelmed and...

    Fresh Food Spaghetti squash

    So I bought a spaghetti squash today for my girls, brought it home, and have no idea what to do with it. Can they eat the "spaghetti" part? Can they eat the rind? The flesh between the 2? Any help is appreciated!

    Diet Ca:P

    OK, I've been tooling around Guinea Lynx for hours, and I can't find the ratio of Ca:P that I'm supposed to stay within. One of my piggies, I'm not sure which one, has gritty white urine. :sad: I'm trying to amend their diet to reduce calcium. Also, I was thinking of separating them with...
