    Piggy passed away suddenly

    My piggy Minion passed away sometime last night and we have no idea why. We got him two years ago from a pet store that takes in a lot of surrenders and rescues and he was fully grown when we brought him home. They were unable to give us info on his age or background, but he's always been very...

    Bonding Finding a reputable guinea pig rescue

    So I'm starting to look around for a companion for my boy - preferably an already spayed female, because of space reasons I can't fit a 2x5 currently and I don't want to crowd two boys together.

He's my first piggie so I've never encountered either before. The spots are kind...

    Ramps Covered Ramps

    So, I completed most of Minion's new cage yesterday and this morning we moved him over to it. He loves it! The moment we got him in there he was popcorning all over the place, much to the amusement of my roommates. I built the cage to have a 1x2 loft that I'd like to use as the kitchen and...

    New Piggie Guardian, just getting introduced.

    Hey there. I'm Sal and I've been looking here on the site for a while now, but I only just signed up tonight after picking up my new piggie. I'd been looking around for a while and learning more about pig care and this little guy just caught my attention. The place where I bought him from...
