So quick question. First though I have had pigs for many, many years and also currently run a guinea pig rescue in my home. I like to think I know what I am doing....buuutttt... I am trying to pair up two of the rescue girls, Bella (approx 2 yrs) and Bailey (approx 8 months). Intros went not so...

This is our rescue Harriet. She came from a home that I believe was just uninformed and not intentionally cruel. They said she had babies prior but was not pregnant now. She was dirty, wet, underweight, and had sores and terrible nails. I rescued her with every intention of adopting her into a...

Just wanted to share our new rescue pig, Harriet. I don't believe these people were intentionally cruel, but VERY uninformed. Harriet is a year old and has already had a litter of pups. We are hoping she is not again pregnant. She has some terrible sore and her nails look awful. She was living...

Hello all! I have searched and searched and cannot seem to find the answer in the other threads. When do you replace your wood pellets? Mine have been is a bit over a month and they seem to be about 50-50 pellets and dust. How do I know when its time to take it all out and replace with fresh...

Hello everyone!! So since you are all such fantastic piggie owners, I am sure you all know this already. However, I thought I was a great piggie owner too. I was doing some reading a few weeks ago and found a tip about cleaning their water bottle tips. I had NEVER thought about it before! So I...

Just wanted to share. I took in two new rescues piggies, Maisy and Cuddles, so I had to make a bigger cage. Introductions to my current herd of 5 went great so now everyone is all happily living in a 2x7 with a 2x2 kitchen. I hope that is big enough for 6 girls and 1 boy (neutered of course)...

Normally I always feed Oxbow, however, I noticed at our pet store they have a 25 lb bag of Mazuri for the same price as a 10 lb bag of Oxbow. I tried searching the forum for thoughts but everything I find says the Mazuri is alfalfa based but this stuff said Timothy based. I compared ingredients...

I needed to find something to hold enough hay for my 5 piggies so they didn't run out so quickly. Sooooo...I bought a little plastic hanging file container and cut some openings near the bottom and WALLA! New huge hay bin. Even has a cover to help keep it contained and not falling all over my...

Is anyone else having trouble with Tapatalk since the server move? I can't view anything cause it says it can't find the server when I try to log into the cages page.

Just wanted to show off our newest rescues. I think we officially have a herd now. From top to bottom we have Alice, Marsha, Rose, Nilla, and Carmel. Marsha and Carmel just joined us today. Love them!!!

So a few weeks ago I noticed Piggles wasn't eating well and seemed to be having some trouble with her veggies. I was pretty sure her teeth looked overgrown so I took her to the vet. Low and behold, the vet said her teeth looked pretty long so the ground them down for her. He said other than...

So we recently rescued our first male, Nilla. He is a great little boy. We had him neutured a few weeks ago so he can live with our three girls. My question is, I have always had girls. I have seen plenty of videos and read about it, but its very unclear on how often it needs to be done. Thanks...

So we recently had our boy neutered. He cannot move in with the girls for a month yet (just neutered last Friday). Currently we have "blinders" up between the 2 cages because prior to his neuter he was crazily chewing the coro and bars trying to get at the girls. Will this behavior change or...

Hello. I need advice. I have three girls ages 3, 6, and 6. We just rescued an adorable 1 year old boy piggy. It's crazy but intros were an instant hit. Question is do we need to neuter him before he can live permanently with the girls or are they too old to breed? I don't want to put him...

So I have had my 3 girls, Piggles and Alice for 2 1/2 years and Rose for 1 1/2 years. The girls have always lived together without any issues other than a little chasing now and again when Piggles decides to be bossy. They have very distinct personalities...Piggles is the older bossy sister...

I have been trying to get my girls out of their pigloos for some time now. They don't like the sacs so I wasn't sure what to do for them. I decided to try making them tunnels and they seem to love them. LOL Here is a picture of the first few. I ended up making 13 of them so I have plenty to...

So I wanted to share that Mill End Textiles is going out of business and they have fleece on sale at 60% off!! I just picked up 35 yards of fleece for my piggies and only spend $90! lol Their fleece is regularly around $6.99/yard so at 60% off you are saving a ton. They do not have on line...

I was recently browsing on the ASPCA website (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and they had this chart showing average yearly pet care costs. I just thought I would share because I never really thought about it before. I have 2 small dogs, 2 cats, 3 guinea pigs, and...

I found this fleece and thought it was sooooo pretty so I had to share a picture since I finally got it sewn and in the cage.

I had my girls outside for the first time. I was shocked that they were not even a bit nervous...just happily munching on grass. My question is how much should I allow them to eat grass? I don't want them to get a tummy ache but I also don't want to deprive them if they can be outside as long...
