    Aggression Aggression or dominance? And how to change it?

    Thank you both very much. The hidey behavior isn't even what my pigs do. Usually my more lively one will go into a hidey that my grumpy pig is already in and get chased out pretty quick. Ive never seen either kick the other out for no reason. And I've definitely never seen one draw blood.

    Aggression Aggression or dominance? And how to change it?

    Hi, I saw a post of facebook today about the difference between aggression and dominance and under the aggression side was a few behaviors that my pigs do. For instance, this post said that chasing and kicking the other out of hidey holes ("and not using" wasn't sure what that meant entirely)...

    I'm not sure when she'll be six months. We don't know their exact ages

    Ok thanks, should I switch them both over when the smaller one reaches 2lbs?

    Pellets When to change from young food to adult food

    So I took your advice and I'm very confident they're both ladies. And I don't think she's a cuy. All the cuys I've ever seen look similar to american pigs and she's a crested medium haired pig. I'm not sure though, can cuys have that sort of genetic diversity since they're breeded so...

    Pellets When to change from young food to adult food

    Forgot to mention right now I feed them unlimited oxbow young pellets (as suggested), unlimited hay, and a cup or two of veggies everyday. For they're adult diet I'd only be changing the pellets to the adult oxbow with 1/8 cup a day per pig (as suggested).

    Pellets When to change from young food to adult food

    Hi, so I got two guinea pigs in mid August. They were estimated to be anywhere between 2 months to 4 months old and since their not sisters they could be a month or two apart. So now the two of them could be anywhere from 4-6 months. I've been weighing them every week and I've noticed one of my...

    Pigsitting Bringing piggies on vacation

    Thank you! I hope I have enough grids, if not I guess I can take a few from their current cage right before we leave. And I have tons of zip ties :) I bought em in bulk when I first built my cage. As for the bedding I have 4 fleece liners I made with bed pads in them so I think I should be good!

    So instead of the corporate base you put down trash bags? Did I get that right? I use fleece bedding so just put that down on top of it? My parents do have a very elderly small dog so my pigs will be in a room behind closed doors on this trip

    Would you be willing to maybe post a picture of your travel cage? I'm having a hard time visualizing it. I do have extra grids and zip ties though so that might not be a bad idea!

    Hi, so I currently have two beautiful lady pigs in a 4X2 C&C cage. These gals are relatively new to my life so there are a few things I still haven't completely figured out. My current dilemma is that my parents live about 2.5 hours away and I would love to visit them this labor day weekend...

    Coughing Advice for coughing piggy?

    So one of my girls started coughing today. I was sitting on the cough after giving them their morning veggies and I heard one make a weird noise with the water bottle (sounded like she hit it or pushed it out too far or something) and then a very loud cough. This is the first time I've heard...
