    Nutrition Green leaf lettuce - Leafy part vs. Stalky part

    My guys LOVE the stalky parts. And I will give them the "heart" all at once when we get to it. It has the tender little leaves and lots of stalky bits and they devour the whole thing!

    Won't Eat Veggies Picky pigs

    I have one piggie who will eat broccoli. The other piggie will eat celery. Both will eat celery leaves! LOL. One will eat strawberries/tops, the other won't.

    Behavior Funny! Chocolate is a "mountain piggy"

    I don't know how common this is... but Chocolate is a mountain piggy! He loves to hop up on top of the stool or pigloo and just survey the domain from up there. So we've dubbed him a mountain piggy cause he likes to be on top of the mountain. When we adopted him I was told he'd hop from the...

    Won't Eat Veggies Picky pigs

    I was just noticing this... My piggies used to go nutso for their bell peppers, ate them first before the lettuce. Now - eh, the peppers wait and wait, and eventually they will eat them. Green beans... they LOVED them. More than carrots almost. Today they turned up their little piggie noses...

    Hay Could I be allergic to only one brand of timothy hay?

    Allergic to the hay! Fresher is likely to cause more of a reaction, more pollen! Try Orchard hay, I don't react to it at all!

    Vegetables What greens are most unlikely to cause chalky/sludgie urine?

    It seems like all the piggies favorites are no-nos for calcium. Anyone have piggie faves that are NOT a calcium problem???

    Nutrition Two new pigs - Won't eat bell pepper- Questions about other sources of Vitamin C.

    Lots of people recommend chopping the veggie you want to get the piggie to eat into tiny bits and sprinkling it over their pellets. That way they can't help but eat some and they will get used to the taste!

    How Many? separate cages on top of each other

    Neutering won't change his aggression, piggies aren't like cats/dogs that way.

    Allergies Really want a guinea pig..but...

    If your throat felt tight I'd be cautious... Do you have any friends who have piggies that you can visit? Oh... But if the pet store is using Timothy hay that could be making the reaction worse (two allergens at the same time) where a different hay that you don't react to wouldn't be present at...

    Play What's your favorite moments!

    I love meal time! It is so funny watching them eat a lettuce leaf, it just moves around disappearing into their mouth! And then when Chocolate grabs a choice piece of bell pepper and RUNS into an igloo to eat it, just in case Brandy thought SHE could have it! I also love walking in to the...

    Allergies Really want a guinea pig..but...

    Tessabear, I think you are being pretty smart (as a fellow allergy sufferer). If you have less/no reaction this time, then you know the allergy meds help! I can tell you personally that while Timothy Hay makes me allergic, the Orchard gives me no reaction at all - such a relief! If you do...
