So get ready for a whiny post. I love my piggies dearly. Every night I give them their veggies during floor time during which I sit with them and hand feed them. But they are still terrified of me. I put them on the couch hoping they would crawl on me, and they just huddled in the corner...

No, not really but he thinks they are his. We have had pigs since he was about 2 (he is 6 now) and he has always kept a watchful eye on them. We never let him get too close but every night when I clean the cage or let them have floor time he is right there keeping a close eye or sleeping. He...

What do you do to not make floor time boring? I have a collapsable pin that I put out in front of the girls cage and I just open the doors and give the their veggies and let them run free. But they seem to not really care. They eat their veggies and go back in the cage. Do you guys have an...

My two girls have recently started eating a TON! They share a bowl and in the morning I put about a 1/4 cup of pellets in their cage. Around noon it is gone, and they wheek like they are dying. They get their veggies at night, but yesterday I added a little more pellets and they ate them in just...

Hey everyone, Elephants baby is now one month old. Gus has been separated and is now in the top level of my 4x2 and the girls are in the bottom. I am getting frustrated because I have yet to find him a forever home. He is posted on guinea pig zone. I am worried about posting him on Craigslist...

I know that separating male babies from their mom is normal but that does not make it bite any less. Poor Gus was an only child, so now he is all alone. I split my 2 level 4x2 cage by taking the ramp out and temporarily blocking the hole. Gus is up top, the girls are on the bottom. I hate it...

Before I found this site I was a bad guinea pig owner. I adopted two Guinea pigs about a year and a half ago, for my four year old daughter. Luckily they came with a C&C cage. I of course learned very quickly that 4 was a ridiculous age to expect for a kid to take care of an animal, and I...

I know this topic comes up a lot but here we go again. I just got back from a little girls 6th birthday party where she got a guinea pig. The pig was delivered in a cardboard box along with some hay. That was it. The mom didn't even know it was coming, she didn't even have a cage. When I got...

Good morning All, So Elephant just had her baby. My daughter and I were sitting on the couch watching tv and I heard a strange noise and checked on Elephant. Sure enough there is a baby in there. She currently cleaning the baby. I can not see much because she is under the ramp but the baby is...

Hey everyone. So I have finally finished my cage. I had the girls in a 2x3 with a 1x2, 1x2 L shaped loft, but it seemed small and was a pain to clean. So with the wonderful ideas from the forum and pictures I built this cage. It is fully enclosed, with barn like doors. The girls seem to love it...

So I put a craigslist ad up when we lost our sweet Olive, to find Dulce a friend about a month and a half ago. I have no clue how to delete it but that is another issue. Today I woke up to an email from a lady that worked at petsmart telling me to come buy a piggy friend from them. It really...

I know this gets asked a lot, but I don't want to make the wrong call. I think Elephant looks pregnant. I really hope not! She is so young! Only about 4-5 months old. I am going to freak out on the lady I got her from if she is. She promised she was separated from her brothers in time. But the...

Ugh I feel sick. After posting earlier about Dulce not getting out of the kitchen area I got her out again to to check on her a little more closely. I noticed that her ear is split in two! This makes me sound like a terrible owner. How did I not notice this before? The gash is about 3/4 of an...

Good morning/afternoon/evening depending on where you are, I finally made a "Kitchen" area since recently it has been getting out of control with mess around the food. I got a kitty litter pan, filled it with care fresh and put it under their hay and put their food in it. But now Dulce almost...

Hello again! I have been away for awhile so I wanted to give you all an update on Dulce and Elephant. They were introduced last week and are doing wonderfully. They still chatter a lot and Ducle rummblestruts but that is the extent of it. Elephant seems to have doubled in size since when we got...

I hope this type of post is allowed, if not I am sorry.I just wanted to let people know that if you are thinking of switching to fleece now is a great time because Jo-Ann's is having a 40% off sale. :D I just got back with 4 yards of fleece for under thirty dollars. Might go get more for the...

So as soon as I got Elephant on my lap for her second lap time since getting her she crawled into my sweater and stared at me. That is an apple piece and carrot piece sitting in front of her. She sat for 15 minutes before she touched the food. But then she ate!!! Yay! :) I have realized this...

Ok, I am going to catch flak for this, but I just don't know if I can keep coming to this website. Most people are awesome on here. They are a big help and patient, but some people are just plain rude and mean. I am honestly scared to post on here sometimes because of the reaction that some...

My pretty baby girl. She is actually blind in that eye. I am not sure why, we got her that way.

Hey everyone, I am getting a little perturbed. I am trying to find Dulce a friend. It has only been a few days since Olive passed, so it is a little hard for me, but I figured that Dulce can't just wait around for me to feel better, lonely. :sorry: I have been looking on craigslist and petfinder...
