    Aggression Should I separate or change the cage layout?

    So my girls are not the best of friends. Dottie (2) and Hale (6) can tolerate each other at times, but it seems like Hale is getting bullied. Or she might just be too old to handle Dottie's antagonizing ways. Here's some things that have been happening and increasing in the last few months or...

    Behavior Shoulder all the things!

    My girl Dottie loves to throw her weight around. If there's a pigloo within an inch of her she must shoulder it out of the way. On occasion if I'm sitting with them during floor-time she'll try to nudge me out of the way!! She won't relent* until I budge the tiniest bit. Then she's on her way...

    Upper Levels Removable Upper Loft...??

    Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some feedback from those with engineering skills! I have a 2x3 loft that is connected to the cage. Being a very short person and even with a step-stool I'm having the hardest time reaching the back of the loft/main cage when I clean it. Right now I have two...

    Cage Amused & Annoyed: Cage Expansion

    I've expanded my girls cage a few times already. Originally it was a 2x3 with a 1x1 loft. Then a 2x4 with a 2x2 loft. My oldest piggie, Hale, really liked the loft since Dottie pestered her sometimes. Dottie also never took to the ramp so I figured Hale would enjoy the extra space. I made the...

    Howdy from me and my piggies!

    I love this community! I've had guinea pigs on/off for years every since my first one as a young adult. This forum really helped me give the best for my little piggies and I'm very thankful for it. Here are my two current pigs. Dottie: 2 yrs old, spunky, and has a BIG attitude Haleakala...
