    Play Youtube and Piggies

    My pigs did that when they were younger and didn't understand what it was, they don't do it much now but it's a fun little thing to do ☺ Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

    Joy Nemo The ESA Guinea Pig

    There isn't really much of a registry but you do have to get a doctors note. There are a lot fake registries that charge you to register but there is actually no official one. Although many people advise getting an "ID" so people understand more. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

    Joy Nemo The ESA Guinea Pig

    Some of you may remember Nemo a month or so back as he is on Metacam long term now as he has permanent leg damage after contracting bumblefoot as a baby. He has gotten soo so so much better. Way happier than I've ever seen him. But after a lot of recent stress and my mental health problems...

    Aggression Advice for a Stressed Pair

    Okay. I'll do a ton of research. As Richie tends to have smaller nostrils making him take more short breaths. Thank you for the suggestion! ❤ Really appreciated Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

    Injury Guinea Pig fell and now dragging back legs

    So cute and yeah don't do calcium. Its not really gonna help and just will cause bladder stones. Don't try to work her legs just saying if she wants the exercise herself then that's fine. Just all the needs like food and water need to be close to a favorite hide so she can get to them easy...

    Injury Guinea Pig fell and now dragging back legs

    Lots of comfy beds. Try to give her some convince too like putting hay lower or on the floor. Maybe putting some squishy towels or blankets on top of the bedding (assuming you use fleece) they like to cuddle up in those and give her the opportunity to work her legs, but if she is tired more...

    Aggression Advice for a Stressed Pair

    End of day one. Both pigs weights have gone up. Now I'm doing a lap time test. Richie seems a lot more calm. Not as rowdy. I think that's because his testosterone levels are lowering. Still the most active, tomorrow I try floor time. So hopefully everyone is nice and peppy. Sent from my...

    Aggression Advice for a Stressed Pair

    I adopted my lovely girls many months ago now. But recently, one of my girls Vegas, who is paired with Richie, has gotten seemingly more stressed. She isn't becoming sickly nor losing weight but she just has been different. And that is due to her testy cage mate Richie, he has always been...

    Play Memory Craft

    Hey everyone. Found this idea on pintrest about making your pet's footprint for a Christmas tree ornament. So I put my own spin on it for a cage decoration. I have a solid wood cage so I'll be putting it on the front where I also have a portrait of all the pigs. Here is what I did and how I...

    URI/Upper Respiratory Infection Subcue injection .. With water ?

    I think he meant saline like @bpatters said. And guinea lynx is basically the cavy bible. I would give him a call if you are still unsure. Let anyone else know if you have more questions ☺ Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

    Quarantine New guinea pig won't eat

    I would slowly start rubbing her head, then start picking her up. You don't want to wait too long before handling, just make a routine of handling weather it be petting in the cage or starting to pick her up. Even if you can't pick her up to look at her teeth what you can do is see if when she...

    Quarantine New guinea pig won't eat

    It's quite normal for a new guinea pig to be hesitant to eat. The slowly eating part could be a teeth problem, but I doubt it. But it wouldn't hurt to check their incisors, as if they are overgrown or growing strange most likely the back molars are too. It is pretty easy to check their...

    Behavior Need help recognizing what guinea pig is saying

    I'm sure he'll be popcorning away soon! Maybe make a little play area and put tunnels toys, hide treats on different things. Nemo went nuts for that until he got bored and I had to change it 😂😐 Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

    Hair Loss Piggie Is Losing Hair On His Hand

    It could be a couple things, in my experience his feet look kind of dry and cracked. My boy had Bumblefoot and we caught it before it got bad. Some early signs are dry cracked feet, abrasions or scars, loss of hair etc, here is a guinea lynx page https://www.guinealynx.info/pododermatitis.html...
