I'm really wanting/needing to upgrade from my current 2x3 to a 2x5, as I rescued two young females, bringing me up to three pigs. I figured it was worth asking if anyone knew of any current coupon codes for the guineapigcagestore.com? Or knew if their sales are on any kind of schedule? Thanks!

I was able to get him to the vet this afternoon. She was great and very honest with me. His teeth were in bad shape and she didn't think surgery would ultimately help with his quality of life in the long run. He was euthanized and is no longer in pain. Thank you for all the advice. He would...

I kept him in a carrier overnight so I could tell if he ate anything and because his cagemate is quite bossy, so I figured he could use the rest. No poops at all this morning and he's quite lethargic. I did get him to eat a few bites of pellet mush last night, but he's comepletly uninterested in...

I'll call the vet first thing in the morning. My local guinea pig rescue (where I got this pig from just a month ago) recommended 2 vets in my area. One for routine things and one for things that could require advanced treatment. I'll go ahead and call the more specialized one. I do know she has...

I just took a look at his teeth. They're very slanted, but they line up. Is this normal? I've attached a picture. My other pig's teeth are not like this; her's are the same length. So I'm guessing this is not normal?

He is neutered, not sure if that makes his weight a bit lower than the average boar. I will weigh him every morning for the next few days. Perhaps the first time I weighed him he had just eaten quite a bit, which is why I wasn't worried until it was lower still the third time. Thanks!

Hello! I have had my 4-5 year old male guinea pig for about a month. I only bought a scale about two weeks ago, and messed up and got one that just does pounds and ounces instead of grams. When I first weighed him he was two pounds even. Then a week later he had dropped to 1 lb 14.5 ounces...

I think you're doing great! You've got to ask yourself what anyone that would take them would do differently. I know I don't know many people who would even take a pig to the vet for a relatively inexpensive procedure, much less a costly one that you fear in the future. A better home would...

It's possible that what you're thinking is an extra toe is actually just a spur. You should search the forums for some info and pictures of them to see if that's what you're dealing with. I believe they can be trimmed with a little research. My pig had one when I first got her, which my local...

I think as a temporary cage, it would work as long as you don't mind losing the use of that bathtub. It may be a bit small long term, depending on the size of the tub. I'd also add a layer of fleece on top of the towels, so they're not standing on a damp surface. There are several great threads...

Thank you! That was a really informative reply! I had seen the "PEW" acronym before and had not known what it meant. Very interesting!

Just wondering if all red eyed, all white pigs are lethals? I'm a "first time in a long time" pig owner to two healthy pigs now, but the very first guinea pig I ever owned (many years ago, as a child) had this color pattern. He died around age 3 and was always rather sickly. He did go to the vet...

I really think that's a normal feeling at first! I spent the first few days really stressed because I got my first pig on a bit of an impulse and wasn't quite prepared for just how much they poop. Like seriously, it's considerably more than my cat or small dog. But a few weeks in, I feel like...

Ah, I've thought about it some more and as much as I would love this new pig, I don't think the situation is ideal for anoyone involved, especially as I am a relatively new pig owner.

Hello! Just as a quick intro, I've currently got one neutered male and one female guinea pig. The male is at least 4 (rescue wasn't sure of his background, and I think he may be closer to 5), and the female is 4. They both currently share a 2x3 C&C cage, and I know that's not the ideal size for...
