    Dominance Questions on normal levels of guinea pig dominance/hormones.

    I'm closer to Kingsport, TN and Bristol VA/TN than anywhere else, that's as close to my location as I can give while feeling comfortable, and it's still almost a two hour drive. But I could do the Knoxville suggestion, I will have to give them a call later today. It will still be a four hour...

    Dominance Questions on normal levels of guinea pig dominance/hormones.

    Hello all, I have a few questions that pertain to the level of hormonal-ness that your piggies go through while in heat. As in, how hormonal are your piggies while in heat. And a vet closer to me, as I will explain further below. I have a little one, Kurimu, well she's two but she's, for...

    Popcorning How does your Guinea Pig popcorn!?

    I love how it's governed by the personality of the pig it seems! I believe Skittles is confused of Miss Piggy's style, a erratic jumping bean would be a good image thank you for that Star. I think it's where she's older and just can't get that distance Skittles can. ;3 Hehe. Skittles seems to...

    Popcorning How does your Guinea Pig popcorn!?

    :3 Thought this would be fun. Since getting Miss Piggy a friend I've noticed they both have their own way of the popcorn. While Skittles will jump a half a foot in the air with a little squeak, take off then flop over, Miss Piggy will jump in circles then take off, do some more circles and...

    Old pigs...would you adopt them?

    Awwww. Looking at them makes me rethink how old my Miss Piggy is. But of course! I saved her, I'd do it again. :3 Age doesn't matter, it's the time you get. I know I won't have as much time with her as I will most likely get with Skittles. So I intend to make the best of it and cherish it...

    Allergies Opinions on air filters/humidifiers.

    Thank you very much Traysea for the information I wouldn't have known about it irritating his asthma at all. And for the exact things I need to go look for when getting one beside that as well. I do take 'breathing' treatments from a nebulizer after I clean their cage which helps a lot to...

    Allergies Opinions on air filters/humidifiers.

    I have family on farms that grow all different types of hays for their companions and livestock a bit away from here that may still have it. I know they did when they had Rabbits, I'm sure they still have them. Their a bit extreme on the 'grow your own', I commend them and wish I had the area to...

    Adopting Where did you buy your guinea pig?

    Their so cute!!! I love their fur pattern. :3 But that does seem to be a thing that I never had any clue of was the overabundance of unwanted piggies. I suppose people just do not plan for their size and life span and attention needs but that's what I absolutely love about them! I actually get...

    Adopting Where did you buy your guinea pig?

    I still think about if I hadn't came over there that night because I wasn't going to go in the first place, I had just dropped by off from work to say hi. I would have never found out they had her, it would have been too late. That haunts me how close she really did come to dying for no...

    Allergies Opinions on air filters/humidifiers.

    I do apologize for I'm sure another post to bog down the actual answers, I did look but was trying to find specific filters like you've stated that would be best. I found many but it didn't help much, people have a tendency to use what is cheapest as well as I wanted a testimony from...

    Allergies Opinions on air filters/humidifiers.

    :3 What type of air purifier and humidifier do you use? My boyfriend also has asthma but is lucky and somehow not allergic to them nor the hay so the humidifier could possibility help his spring/otheranimal allergies at the very least which would help enough, sure it would help me too. But I...

    Adopting Where did you buy your guinea pig?

    Miss Piggy was rescued from a friends home. She had nothing but a tiny cage with barely any wood shavings let alone the right type, nasty and caked in everything. AND A HERMIT CRAB SPONGE. No food bowl, no water bottle let alone a bowl, never had hay or veggies and had been completely...

    Vet Vet opinions for the Tennessee, Virgina, and Kentucky area.

    So far, besides a check up when I got each of them, and I'm sure I knew more than him, I haven't needed any veterinarian business from around my area of TN, VA and KY. I though do need a vet for future need, if needed, and I would really like to take my piggies to a vet that knows about them. To...

    Pellets Where to get Burgess Excel in US.

    That's what I will be doing with the KMS though I for some reason thing Miss Piggy will like it, at least I know Skittles will. Which will still most likely give her incentive to try. Now when I first got her that was my problem too, Miss Piggy was actually terrified of the veggies it was cute...

    Allergies Opinions on air filters/humidifiers.

    I was wondering if, for a person very allergic to animals, dust, and pollen, what would be the best air purifier or filtration system of any kind. I know that there is many sites and recommendations but wanted to hear the opinion of allergic people and what they do to get by. I do take all the...

    Pellets Where to get Burgess Excel in US.

    I'm actually waiting on the KMS now, should be any day it comes in for I can have a go with that. I've had to fight her tooth and nail to switch her to better foods. When I rescued her it was whatever the Walmart horrible brand is. That was a horrible horrible time getting her to switch to now...

    Pellets Where to get Burgess Excel in US.

    I was trying to find something to help with one of my pigs apparent hatred of pellets. I haven't had the option till now to order their food so wanted to try a variety to see if I could mix them to get her to like them or a particular one she will like.

    Pellets Where to get Burgess Excel in US.

    I've been wanting to try out Excel brand pellets and hay but having a very difficult time finding a place that ships to I suppose the US or maybe just my area in particular. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and found a site? The actual site's shipping has been down since I've...

    Bonding New two month old piggy with a about two year old piggy? Suggestions, Tips, Ideas?

    :3 Besides Miss Piggles not wanting to cuddle while Skittles, a accidentally word slip that stuck with her, wants too, all went well for the most part. I think it's just going to take Miss Piggy some time getting use to another piggy being with her I believe. But no fights, not even...

    Bonding New two month old piggy with a about two year old piggy? Suggestions, Tips, Ideas?

    I'm just horrified, I don't see why they wouldn't it's just my first introduction so I've been scanning all aspects of the web about what to do. And Miss Piggy's reaction, of just ignoring her for the first two days, made me worry she just didn't even care or want to deal with it. The little...
