Once a bunch of the hay blew off of the top I saw what was keeping me from releasing it! When I cut that one I realize what flakes were! That helped a lot! I thought I was missing some kind of tool. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Mine were adopted from a similar situation and didn't like being held at First. Now one snuggles under my neck when I watch TV with him. The other is slower to come around. He eats his snacks then starts tugging on my shirt to go back. So I don't hold him quite as long as the other. Sent from...

I poked holes in the plastic as soon as I got it. I can't move it anywhere else because it would be too far for me to walk. We have a lot of outbuildings, but I have a muscle disease and can't always walk to an outbuilding. It's only $15 a bale, so I guess I'm just going to have to make do...

I already cut the top straps but there is nothing flaking off. I'm afraid to remove all the plastic for fear it might get wet. But if you're sure that's okay? And I will still be able to leave it sitting there on my driveway? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I bought a bale of Orchard Grass and am having trouble getting it apart to put in their cage. It's a compressed bale and I have a muscle disease so am weak. Any ideas on tools I can use to break up a bale? I just like to put hands full in their litter pans a couple of times a week. Sent from my...

My guys choose their clean beds, which I have several of in their pen, over the litter pans full of Orchard Grass or the pile of hay in front of their hay bags. Maybe it's an individual piggy choice. I guess the important thing is observing whether they are happy and if they aren't, remedying...

I wish we could do that around here. Do you get second cut hay there? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Are pigs really happy sleeping in their own pee and poop? Or lying in it? Somewhere I read that they are clean animals which is why I like to keep the hay up for the most part. I will put out a thin layer for them to walk-in but I clean it up every day. I give them second cut hay which is really...

Can't believe I didn't think of that! That's what I did and they are getting the hay out fine. I've been watching them and there is no way their heads can get stuck in the holes with or without the grommets. That must be a problem for baby pigs. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

She actually has guinea pigs who eat out of it, but I showed her your message and she's making me one without grommets and with larger holes. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I bought two hay bags off of Etsy, the fabric kind with the two holes in the front. The pigs seem to be doing okay with them and it's a whole lot neater but I am concerned with how they are getting their little teeth into the hay. How do they get it out through those little holes? Are they going...

I keep thinking about your poor baby being in pain. I hesitate to offer any advice on forums because if you haven't owned the animals for long people get upset when you offer advice. So let me start by saying I am making suggestions based on taking care of rats for 10 years. I cared for over a...

With rats, I found there are still bad exotic vets and the range of advice can vary. I'm new to guinea pigs and still would feel very nervous giving them baby food. It's hard though when you are being given advice online versus by someone who has a license on their wall. Sounds like you really...

Any vet is better than no vet. They all have manuals they can use and in veterinary school they learn about the systems of all animals and then they specialize. If you have an animal that has been stepped on and you can't find an exotic vet, better to take it to any vet then not take it to a vet...

She needs a checkup for internal injuries. You won't be able to feel those. If you can't find an exotic that I would take her to any vet willing to see her. That would be better than nothing. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Looks like someone else already commented on costs. I never had guinea pigs but at 60 years old wanted something cuddly and decided to get guinea pigs. I rescued two. So glad I did! Angel is just as cuddly as I heard they were. Good luck, have fun and may I say how much I admire you for...

I am preparing to retire from a rescue I started 10 years ago. While getting adopters is wonderful, so is getting foster parents and money. And we always appreciated volunteers. So many different ways to help and any of them is important. Also helping to spread the word! So taking in animals you...

This is the hand vac that I bought! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
