I like nearly all animals, but I am unfortunately allergic to some… specifically cats! I'm a foster for one of the local rescues where I live, but they need fosters for cats. My roommate though is thinking of fostering them and I am all up for it (her boyfriend, who is also allergic, is a bit...
Say hi to the Little Rascal (his nickname). So far introductions have been going well between him and Giacomo Casanova :)
Pooped out.
Shives joins in the party for a little while.
KALE!
So far getting along.
I noticed that Sweet Meadow Farm sell pellets, and I have been feeding Oxbow to my piggies, but I like to make a more local switch. Has anyone tried the Sweet Meadow Timothy Guinea Pig Pellets?
I'm curious, since C&C cages are so flexible, has anyone made a C&C cage for a tortoise? I don't know if I'll ever get one, but I do have a fantasy that if I got one now and I grow old, my buddy of a tortoise will still be with me while my grandchildren visit... lol
So I have a single piggy, Giacomo Casanova, for over a month and I am now thinking of finally getting him a brother. I saw an ad on Craiglist for long-haired 8 week old guinea pig babies (I'm interested a particular black and white male). I haven't inquired them yet because I want to be ready to...
So here's the story...
I was in the pet store purchasing some food for my piggy when I noticed there was a large tank with a post-it saying "free to go to a good home" on top of pet displays. In it was a poor looking white mouse, with all the dishes and wheel and everything. My friend and I...
I've been looking around for a vet, and I'm wondering if anyone around the Pioneer Valley of MA has any vet recommendations for guinea pig? I did a preliminary google search, but I like to hear from others if there is a chance.
Also, how did you find your "perfect" vet?
I'm a newbie and got my Giacomo a few weeks ago, but I would like to help out the shelters and rescues by fostering small animals. Of course, I'll need to talk about that with my roommates and prepare extra space, but I like to know what other people done and what your experiences are like.
I...
I'm curious on what herbs to give Giacomo, since I'm an herbalist-in-training myself. I imagine FRESH alfalfa and calendula would be good, especially as treats. I like it if the food helps not just with nutrition, but with medicinal/preventative effects. Any books or website recommendation...
New here! And although Giacomo seems happy in his big rabbit cage (it's like a 1x3 cage), I'll know he'll be happier in a C&C cage lol
Well, my basic design would be a 2x3 grid cage, but I have been thinking of other design. I like some opinions about those designs, so I can get the materials...
In staying local, I use Sweet Meadow Organic Timothy Hay for Giacomo, but I noticed the store had other varieties from this farm. I obviously won't buy the alfalfa one, but I'm curious about the Sweet Meadow hay and herb mix. Any opinions? I would keep getting the timothy hay, but I'm just...
Hello everyone! Let me introduce my cute cavy Giacomo Casanova:
Isn't he cute!? Perhaps that's how he'll get all the ladies, if he lives up to his name (10 months old now).
For now I have him in a large rabbit cage I got for free off of Craiglist (it's really big, like a 1X3, but I know we can...
