    Behavior Neutering my boar? Should I get a female?

    As some of you may know I had two boars, River and Teddy. Teddy passed in August due to heart failure unfortunately, leaving River alone. They got along fine with River being the dominant one. He now seems to enjoy having a cage to himself. Since Teddy's passing River has shown no signs of...

I now know how to wick fleece and have done that with my 2 new cage liners. It smells a lot better but still smells. My question is: can you re-wick already used fleece? I...

    Adopting Where did you buy your guinea pig?

    I'm curious where you all got your piggies! :) Rescues? Breeders? Pet store? I got River and Teddy from Petland. I know, shame on me :( There are no local breeders around here and my rescues almost never have guinea pigs. Otherwise I would have adopted in a heart beat! If you got yours from a...

    General Wet Poop? And a Vitamin C Question!

    I have just switched back to fleece and have noticed that River and Teddy's droppings are a little wet. It's a lot smellier than dry droppings and its getting rubbed into the fleece when they walk over it, leaving poop marks. And sweeping the poop leaves smudges of poop on the dustpan. It's...
