    Bedding Successful Fleece Bedding Alternative! Wanted to share with you all

    I chose the smaller size intentionally. I use four to cover the bottom floor, then layer on top. Often, my girls will choose a specific place to pee but totally ignore the other pads. This way, I only have to change the pad that actually has pee on it and I just sweep up the poops off the...

    Covers How do you make a lid for a C&c cage?

    Here is my C&C with Closet Maid shelving as a lid. There are two and they slightly overlap in the middle. For my needs, I didn't reinforce them at all, I just laid them on top.

    Aggression Cagemate Woes - Need Advice for Constantly Bickering Piggies

    That may be something I try in the future. For now, they will stay separated. Penelope is still off from their nasty fight. Far more skittish than usual and I don't think it's a good idea to allow direct contact anytime soon. But it definitely may be something we try in the future.

    Aggression Cagemate Woes - Need Advice for Constantly Bickering Piggies

    There was actually zero issues in those areas until Stella claimed the bottom as hers and wouldn't let Penelope down there anymore. Penelope then retaliated by not allowing Stella upstairs anymore either. But before Stella did that they had no problems upstairs. It was downstairs that all the...

    Aggression Cagemate Woes - Need Advice for Constantly Bickering Piggies

    Well, I spoke to the rescue owner and told her what was going on. She said I could return Stella, but I honestly don't have the heart to. She also said I could expand and separate the cage so they can see each other and interact, but cannot hurt each other. So that's what I did! The rescue owner...

    Aggression Cagemate Woes - Need Advice for Constantly Bickering Piggies

    It's not broken up. It's a full 4x2 downstairs AND a loft kitchen (2x1) and a loft bedroom (3x1). Introductions we're done in a neutral space no piggy had ever been in (our bedroom). I set up a brand new wire pen with potty pads on the ground and just sat nearby and watched them interact. I...

    Aggression Cagemate Woes - Need Advice for Constantly Bickering Piggies

    I misspoke. When I say play with each other, I mean interact with each other AT ALL outside of bickering. They are either fighting or ignoring each other. I can't expand the bottom... I thought 4x2 was a good size for two females? I will stop floor time for a while then, thank you. All of their...

    Aggression Cagemate Woes - Need Advice for Constantly Bickering Piggies

    Hello everyone, About a week and a half ago, I rescued a skinny pig as a companion for my other rescued skinny. We have been waiting a while for a rescue skinny to show up so we were so happy when our second rescue popped up at a solid, reputable rescue and she had been fully vetted. Anyway, in...

    URI/Upper Respiratory Infection Possibility of getting a URI?

    I brought home a guinea pig friend for my other guinea pig about two weeks ago. She seemed slightly off (less active than my other pig) so I took her back just in case there was something wrong. Turns out she had a URI (showed no symptoms other than being slightly less active than my other pig)...
