    Hay Yay! Small Pet Select hay!

    I ordered some Small Pet Select a month or so ago and was unimpressed. It may be because it was still winter? not sure but there were a lot of straw-like pieces. The girls wouldn't even eat it for the first few days we fed it to them. It was really dry and yellow. I am hoping it was just...

    Behavior Piggies reacting to thunderstorms???

    Well, it's April in Indiana and that means thunderstorms. I have noticed that the piggies started wheeking like crazy during a thunderstorm the other day, so I went and sat with them and gave them some fresh hay and that seemed to appease them. Today it's been storming all day and anytime my...

    Bonding Does anyone do this?

    My husband and I both will sit in the cage with the girls a few times a week. Mostly during floor time. My husband loves when they run over his feet and try to nibble his toes.

    Dominance Shift in Dominance?

    We are not 100% certain but they are 9-10 months. I hadn't even considered her being in heat! Duh!!! She was rumblestrutting a bit too. She has calmed down since Saturday, so I think maybe it could have been that. Plus, I suspect we may have a case of mites too. I am going to treat them with...

    Parasites Dumb question

    Ok, I realize this may be a dumb question, but how do piggies get mites, lice, etc when they are not exposed to other piggies? Can they get them from us or from our dog? Just wondering, I am thinking my piggies may have mites, they have been acting a little weird and are kinda dandruffy lately...

    Won't Eat Guinea pig won't eat capsicum!

    Mine won't eat any peppers (capsicum). They just don't seem to care for it. They eat a lot of other things though so I guess it's ok. I keep buying them, they keep not eating them, so we get to eat them! lol

    Pine Where to find boning in Canada?

    You can get feather boning (or plastic boning) at Jo-Ann (or their website), a sewing supplier called Wawak (web). If you want spiral or steel boning, in Canada there is a company called Farthingales, I think they have a website. Or in the US for steel and spiral boning, check a company called...

    Dominance Shift in Dominance?

    On Thursday my husband changed the girls' fleece and vacuumed out the cage, as well as the guinea pig room. After that, I noticed Zelda chasing Peach around and trying to mount her-- not from behind but still. I noticed Peach would kinda snap at her and then Zelda would leave her alone. I was...

    Diet What is your piggie's favorite food?

    My girls go crazy for radicchio, blueberries, and, of course, carrots! They also really love blackberries, apple, and grape tomatoes.

    Indianapolis Pet Shop in Trouble

    I drove past this pet store last week, randomly, and I said out loud, "Eww, I wouldn't want to buy anything in that pet shop!" It is totally creepy and now I know more! I think this story proves why so many of us are against buying animals in pet shops. Sheesh. So sad. (broken link removed)

    Guinea Pigs and Music

    Peach and Zelda always seem calm when I sing to them, they like it when my husband sings too. We both make up songs with their names in them. I haven't tried playing recorded music for them yet, but I am sure they don't like NPR because if that's playing, mama's going to work.

    General Tear-drop shaped poops? What to cut off?

    I think I read somewhere that it means they aren't getting enough water. Mine were having that problem, so I started rinsing their veggies with water and leaving them wet and we haven't had that issue since.

    Timothy Hay

    Well, I just ordered an 8 lb box of timothy hay from Small Pet Select. I hope the piggies like it. We have been working on an 8 lb bag of Zupreem hay. The girls go CRAZY for it. I thought the Zupreem was pretty good at first. Nice, fresh grassy scent and long green pieces. But about halfway thru...
