Today I write in memory of my cat, not my pig. A few months after we got Wilhelm as a present for my dad, he was stupidly let outside and ran away. He ran up a tree and came down in the middle of the night and we haven't seen him since. Willy was the best cat ever. He was very playful and...

For the past 2 years, I have taken my guinea pig outside in the summer. But, every time, he's ended up with a skin infection. Last time, it was supposedly ringworm (which it didn't look like, but oh well). We treated him for that, and he's been fine ever since. I am debating with myself about...

I'm investigating. Is is it possible to train a guinea pig to do tricks? I know some people have done it, like @ClicknCavy. But, When do you start? How do you do it? How do you reward? Where do you do it? How often. I'm really curious. Any answers would be welcome.

I'm not sure if this is the right category to put this under, but I need some help with my toy problem. My little guinea pig has had the same toys since we got him, which was almost 3 years ago. I've got some new chews and a new bowl, but that's it. I would like to get some new toys for him...

My guinea pig has cataracts in his eye (covering the top portion of his eye), and I think he's getting it in his other eye (the size of a grain of sand). I think he'll be okay and I'm not worried. But, how do I prevent this and what is the cause of it? Thanks!

Alright. I know very well that guinea pigs should have a friend, but I am very very sick of how guinea pig cages almost hate people who only have one. Just because you can't afford, can't have, or aren't able to own another guinea pig doesn't mean that they are a bad person. I feel very...

Today I was shaking a hand warmer to activate it. My piggy started wheeking and squeezing like crazy! Most random moment and totally made my day. What sort of noises make your pig excited?

My guinea pig has a small sore and red skin on one part of his foot and just red skin on part of his other foot. Can anyone tell me what this is? He's fine otherwise.

Hello! I have a overweight piggy. Period. He has a large enough cage, floor time, love and toys to keep him busy. He is healthy and happy, but he is extremely addicted to his hut and very overweight. He is okay, but he won't move around or excersise during floor time. What do I do? Thanks, A...

Is there a difference between cuys and guinea pigs?

Hello, I am wondering where to put a C&C cage. Heaters? Windows? On the floor? Near the bed? Near the door? In the corner? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have a male, and I am seriously considering getting another one in the future. How do you introduce a male guinea pig to another male guinea pig? Also, how do I get used to another guinea pig? I'm afraid that I will be more attached to my first pig.

Okay, my guinea pig, Peaches, is unusually large. Not only is he almost a foot around, but he is very long. When I first got him, he wasn't eating much, because he was scared all the time. I think I started to over feed him. I feel like a terrible owner. Now, his natural instict is to store up...

I have one guinea pig and I am worried, because everyone says I should get another. I give him a LOT of attention, but I'm a little worried. If I get another one, I will be more attached to the one I have now. It's also not on my budget. My pig is lazy, because he's always been that way. He is...

My piggy, Peaches, lost 90% of his fur on his underside, has little flakes on his skin, and his skin is red and irritated. I went to the vet a few months ago, when it wasn't as bad, spent $50, just to have her say that it was allergies. Well I REALLY don't think so. PLEASE help. I have no idea...
