Oh gosh yes! I always thought the same when I had hamsters too. If only they were big enough to walk around loose without getting into every nook and cranny, were house-broken/litter trained, and didn't chew wires!

They love sleeping under the hammocks, I have yet to see them actually climb into them yet!

I thought that I had introduced myself when I joined, but I can't find the thread. Here are my piggies! Pootpoot (grey) is about 2 years old and I will have had her for 2 years in April. She loves exploring and runs laps like a maniac every evening, usually beginning as the sun is setting...

I hate being in an area without rescues. After I moved I spent 2 months stalking shelters, craigslist, and the newspaper for female pigs so that mine could have a best friend. My pig started barely eating, so I caved and went to Petco because she needed a friend now. I happened to luck out...

I would work on getting them used to it gradually. For a few days, when you hold him, touch his legs and feet while you're petting him. After he's used to that, start picking up his feet while you're petting him. Once he's good there, start turning the foot over so you can see the quick while...

When I purchased pellets online for my pigs I ended up buying 2 large bags of Oxbow so that I could get the free shipping. These were purchased I believe in April of last year, and now I'm worried that the vitamin C has likely degraded and am hoping to supplement my pigs' vitamin C with...

Thanks for posting this, actually was planning to stop at Joann's today!

After reading this thread and needing something that controls odor better than the Uhaul pads (boyfriend is very sensitive and complaintive about guinea pig urine) I switched to wood pellets under my fleece last night. Is it normal for in the first day or two for a guinea pig to be sneezing and...

Correction on my numbers, I thought the boxes of grids only came with 17, turns out they come with 23. So, I have 46 grids to work with now - can I make a base 2 grids high and still do a loft and have a decent sized cage? For building the stand, do I need to have grids below the coroplast or...

I'll likely build a table then and make it of a height that would be two grids high in case I decide to expand later on. Without a stand, how big can I make the cage with the loft? I'm intending for the loft to be a kitchen, so doesn't that need to be at least 2x1? Thank you for the help.

I currently have 2 sows in a Midwest cage and am planning to convert them to a C&C cage so that its easier to clean and gives them more room (goodness knows if you're going to zoom, both must do so together in opposite directions so they can crash into eachother and look annoyed). I have...

That's so adorable, and I love his face. There's just too much cuteness there.

I forgot one of my questions: Something I was reading made it sound as though having the dividers in the cage was a bad thing. May I ask if this is true, and if so, why?

Hello, my name is Lori and I've been perusing the forums, but decided to join since I had questions. I have 1 sow (purchased April 2014) in a Midwest cage, possibly going to a C&C in the future. Don't worry, my pig is not alone, I also take care of my sister's 2 sows (younger was purchased...
