Has anyone tried using disposable potty pads under the fleece? I want to try it but I'm afraid they might want to chew on the plastic edges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gibby and Teddy in their 2x5. We're upgrading this month to a 2x6 with a loft and cavy cafe. I just can't decide on a wide or narrow loft and can't decide on a narrow cafe or a wide bistro. I want them to have as much floor room as possible and I'm afraid the wide bistro will take up too much...

The round connectors vs. just zip ties.....GO.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah that was kind of my thoughts. And obviously, I would give it plenty of time to air out so it wont smell like paint fumes. I think before I do it though, I will install t and observe for several weeks to be sure they aren't reaching it and nibbling at it. If they really stretch out on their...

I got Teddy as a tiny baby. He was just weened from his mom and possibly a little too soon. He seemed a little under-deveoped. While bonding with him, I had him out of the cage frequently, thinking he would get used to being held. I knew he was a little shy because he would run from me. I was...

That's a fun question! My first piggie I had when I was a kid was named Ebony because he was black. The inspiration came from the song 'Ebony and Ivory'. We never did get him a white, Ivory friend like originally planned. My current pigs I adopted. Gibby came with that name but I changed it to...

If you do take a piggie from Craigslist. Take someone with you to meet the piggie first; one, for your own safety, and two, so you have another set of eyes on the piggie. You might miss something wrong with the piggie that your friend might see. Only go to the person's home to meet the piggie so...

I'll be doing some remodeling on the piggie cage soon. Currently I have a lid made of the grid's like shown in this string and sold on GPC site. I'd like to use the closet shelving but I'm really particular about it fitting in with my decor and matching the current cage which is black. I've...

Thanks for the great advice. It sounds like your piggies have a cool playground! Do you have any photos of your setup? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of mine popcorns like crazy during floor time! He doesn't do it much when he's in his cage but he is also a very shy skittish piggie so I don't know if that has something to do with it. The other one will popcorn when I tickle his sides. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

i'd like to add a second level for my piggies 1) to give them more space and make things more interesting for them and 2) to get the hay off the main level. i have read that not all piggies will use a second level. i'm wondering what other people have experienced with this and any advice i can...

I adopted Gibby from the local animal shelter. He was 7 months when we got him. He has chronic bladder stones and in one of the x-rays to diagnose, the vet saw an indication of arthritis in his back. This was several months after we adopted him. I know he was surrendered by a family with kids...

Mine both like to be up under my chin or around my neck. They DO NOT like it when I try to put them on my stomach. They scurry back up as fast as they can!! :0) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the free Beware of Guinea pig sign! Thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's funny...I have actually used the tunnel trick before!😄It does work but I don't want that to be the only option. My other pig doesn't mind picking up too much. In fact, if he knows it's carot time, he practically jumps out of the cage into my arms! 😄 I expect a little fear because it's...

I got Teddy when he was a tiny baby and right away started picking him up and cuddling him so he would get used to it. My other pig hadn't been handled much when I adopted him so he won't sit still when you try to hold him. I wanted Teddy to be different. Once you can get a hold of Teddy, he...

I use washable puppy pads. My 2x5 C&C cage takes three of the standard size. They usually last about two days. It's nice having 3 instead of one big blanket because if one part of the cage gets really wet, I can replace just that pad. I've been pretty happy with these, although, The next load I...
