    when adopting a second pig

    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...

    too clean?

    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...
