Update: We had our appointment this afternoon. I'm so glad we went to an exotic vet, she was excellent! Very personable, and obviously experienced with guinea pigs. She did a regular full-body exam, took a fecal sample, then took a look at his teeth. She agreed that the front teeth definitely...

Ugh... So Edward is definitely losing weight. :( When I first weighed him 3 weeks ago, he was 1 lb 15 oz... As of tonight, he's 1 lb 12 oz, so down 3 oz. Our other boar Bryce is UP 3 oz to 3 lbs 2 oz. I already have our vet appointment scheduled for Tuesday afternoon (earliest available), but...

Thank you! To be clear, Edward is eating his hay and veggies... He's just slower than my other boar Bryce. Edward is also drinking plenty and runs around like normal. I would think that he is just a less ravenous eater than Bryce (who's the dominant one) except that his bottom teeth look...

Hello! I rescued two boars 2.5 weeks ago. I began noticing that when they eat, Edward eats much more slowly than Bryce and seems to eat less. I also noticed that he drinks differently... He gets a mouth full of water, then throws his head back and let's it go down, repeating this several times...

Hi and welcome! He's adorable. :)

Thanks! I'm definitely looking for budget friendly options! ;)

4 little dogs (two boston terriers and two pugs) 2 guinea pig boys 2 backyard hens Definitely a full house! :)

I've had my boys for 6 days now. I set up a big kitchen area for them yesterday, but I noticed throughout the evening that Bryce (our bossy, dominant boy) was monopolizing it, and running Edward off. Bryce is a full pound heavier and eats much faster, so I was worried that he would hog all the...

Thank you! I gave them their first dose yesterday... I'll be glad when this is behind us!

Thank you! Mufasa, not only that, but the grant coupons weren't that comprehensive, so I ended up spending a ton of money that I wouldn't otherwise spend there! Well the boys are settling in nicely. Unfortunately, we discovered lice on Bryce lastnight. I treated both of them with a dose of...

Hello! We adopted two boys on Tuesday evening... They're around a year old. We left them be for the first couple of days to let them adjust and get used to us, but last night we gave them lap time for the first time in order to clip their nails. One of the pigs (Bryce) seems to scratch himself...

I brought the boys home tonight from the rescue. I felt like a new mother driving my baby home from the hospital for the first time... Nervous! Haha! They settled in nicely, explored their new cage a bit, then gobbled down some lettuce, pellets and hay. They definitely live up to the pig...

Thank you, I just ordered this one! I appreciate everyone's insight! :D

Thank you! I have a tendency to worry. :)

Or maybe this one? (broken link removed)

Thank you! I'm looking on Amazon for a soft animal carrier to bring them back and forth in... I decided that's probably best, since they were designed to travel, have a handle and are hopefully sturdy. What do y'all think of this one? It's 16 inches: (broken link removed) Do you think it...

Wow, thank you so much for the warm welcome! I honestly expected a lynching, after reading the past classroom pet threads. Thanks for the input... I'll definitely bring the pigs home with me each afternoon. I went shopping for some more cage goodies this afternoon. I'm getting so excited! My...

Hello! My name is Jamie; I'm a 3rd grade teacher living in Florida. I've been obsessively reading this forum for a little while now, and since I'll be getting my first guinea pigs this week, I thought it was time to register and introduce myself. :) I applied for and was awarded a grant...
