I really want to adopt a buddy for my guinea pig. I have considered the idea many times, but my parents are really concerned. They are afraid that my male pig wont get along with another male pig (getting him neutered is out of the questiong). If that were to happen, I wouldn't be able to house...
Im now trying to convince my dad to let me adopt a neutered pig from a shelter by my house to be with my other guinea pig. But he's not convinced that its a 100% garentee that the pig is no longer furtal. Is there a chance that this could be true, could they mess something up during the...
Because I am planning on getting another guinea pig I figured it would be good to make sure Rock is really a he. I got him at a pet store and because I only going to have one pig I didn't bother when I first got him. Is there a truck to sexing them? I have tried twice now and I cant seem to hold...
I have changed so many things since I got my guinea pig last year. I use to have him in a petstore cage, now I have him in a 3x2 C&C cage with a second 1x2 story. I have switch the bedding from carefresh to fleece to carefresh and now I have finally setteled on kiln-dried pine. All my changes...
My houses is going to be tented next tuesday. I will have to move into be grandmothers house for a week along with my guinea pig. I have a small portable cage that I will have him in, only because the C&C cage I have is too big to move and my grandmother doesnt have room for it in her house...
Ok, so when I first got my ginea pig last june, I was using carfresh. About a couple months ago, I decided that the carefresh was burining a hole in my walet, so I switched to using fleece. But now I find that the fleece is too much of a mess and is beginning to smell. SO now Im looking for...
we are getting our new puppy tomorrow! Im so excited, we found it in a animal shelter, its sooo cute. Im not sure what breed it is, its a mix with a vixen (im not sure if thats what its called) and something else. Its 10 months old. We may name it Baxter (my idea). I cant wait to see it :)
i have read that if you clean a mouse's cage too well it will fell the need to mark its teritory because you have cleaned out his smell. Could the same happen with guinea pigs? I have recently switched from the water and viniger cleaner (my family was complaining about the smell) to soap and...
My guinea pig's 2 story c&c cage use to sit on the ground. But yesterday I decided to rase it a grid level so that I could store thing under his cage and give me more space. Know that Rockys cage is higher he thinks he's a king. Its so funny watching him run around, look out of his cage, and the...

Well I finaly did it. I switched froom carefresh to fleece. So far Im happy with the results and Rocky likes it too. I just have one question, is there a way to keep the hay from sticking to the fleece? I have it in a hay rack, but small pieces still fall out and get stuck to the fleece. They...

In my english class we are writing argument essays. I have decide to write mine on why people should become vegetarians. Does anyone know of any really good web sites that have good strong points that I could use. I also need to look at the opposit side of the argument (the benifits of eating...
Ok, Im really considering switching to fleece. You see I have been using care fresh for the past 6 months (wow! six months alrealdy) and its buring a hole in my pocket now, not to mention it creates a lot of dust in my room. I just have some final questions about fleece and I would really...
Today in my english class my teacher was handing back our essays we wrote about Huckleberry Finn. I was really anxious to get mine back because I felt really proud of what I wrote. My teacher then pulls me aside and askes me if I plagerised(sp) my essay. I was shocked and told her no. Later in...
I have had my pig since July. He is the sweetist thing. He eats food out of my hand and always runs to me when Im by his cage. But any time I try to pet him or pick him up he runs away. I have to corner him and try to grab him any time I have to clean his cage or plan to give him lap time. I...
Have you ever heard of a book called The Jungle ? In my US history class we are currently talking about the early 1900's. We just read a passage from The Jungle (by Upton Sinclair). THe book is about the factory conditions in a meat procesing factory in the 1900's. It was absolutly disgusting. I...
I noticed that some egg cartons at the store are made out of recycled cardboard. It looks a lot like the carefresh a lot of people (including myself) use for their cages. My idea is: if you rip the carton up you could use it for bedding, which means you are recycling (which is always a good...
