    Blog Stan and Ollie

    Hello everyone I would like to introduce you to my boys. Above is Stan. Stan was from a very unlovable home. His cage at the time was one designed for small hampsters and gerbils a full 12" square. He was so thin I could see his hipbones and all he would do the first month I had him was tremor...

    saw a pet store yesterday...

    There is a petstore in loveland that is horrid when it comes to taking care of their animals. I went in last week just to look around and found Cavies housed in a "temporary" cage. This cage is a wire cage meant primarly for SMALL animals such as gerbils and hamsters. The door on the cage...

    memorial

    She (the lady running the shelter) called me today and asked me if I would take a little a little 4 month old ridgeback girl home. Her name is Flossy and she apparently has some "attitude" problems. I haven't seen her picture so I have no idea what she looks like. So of course I said yes...

    memorial

    Jackie dont ever think that it sounds dumb k, Anytime an animal touches us no matter what kind of animal, how big, or any other factor one could think of is involved it doesn't matter. Our hearts don't care if it was a huge dog or a tiny dwarf hamster. If the animal touched us its going to...

    Do you have a jealous pig?

    Roseboy and Midnight are our two attention hounds. Although they both live in seperate cages (Both neutured males) they get upset when one or the other is out and wheek until they are taken out too. Although they don't get along in the same cage they love having floor time together and play...

    memorial

    My Beckers passed away a week ago today. This has been the saddest period of my life. I have looked on the web for some way to give her tribute, some kind of memorial. I don't live real near any cavy rescue center but have asked the nearest one if they need any volunteers and have offered to...

    PetCo "Adoptions"

    At Petsmart the adoption form exists but its merely a legal formality so the company doesn't get into trouble and a "feel good" form for the employees so they can say hey they filled out the form, not my fault if something happened. While an employee is technically free to refuse to sell any...

    Guinea pigs on ebay!

    Here is another item on E-Bay that I at least found even more disturbing. "This is a perfect manual for anyone with a passion for Guinea Pigs and would like to start their own business. It is not a how to care manual. It simply lists 29 names, addresses, phone, fax and web-sites, of wholesale...

    Googlemap

    It seems that with the name change the googlemap no longer functions until a new key is generated. At least thats what my browser keeps telling me. Is that going to be done in the future?:?:

    PetCo "Adoptions"

    Having recently been employeed at petsmart in the loveland area. I can tell you the care there is horrid. They have a "sick room" where any injured or sick cavy, hamster, gerbil is placed. The determination of the animals condition is made entirely by the employee who noticed the sick animal...

    IMPORTANT!! Notice of Major Change!

    This site definatly deserves a higher ranking. I have learned so much from here and the cavy cage is a vast improvement over any store bought cage. (much cheaper than a lot of them 2). My piggies are happier since they got their C&C cage. I wish everyone with a cavy knew about them

    Becky

    :weepy: Becky was the first cavy I owned or should I say that owned me. She was bought at petco with a combination of my son's and daughter's christmas money two years ago. Prior to Becky I had always thought cavies were mean vicious animals loaded with all kinds of disease. How wrong I was...
