So my piggies have two hay racks in their two kitchens (one at each end of the cage). Both hay racks have lots of hay in them, I filled them with fresh hay when I changed their cage today. But my piggies are a bit spoiled - while they will nibble at their hay racks, they don't really eat much...

Thanks for all your advice, everyone! It is really appreciated. I am in the planning stages right now, and trying to figure it all out in advance. I have not yet tried sewing the 2 layers of fleece & 2 layers of Uhaul with my sewing machine. I assumed it would be fine - I have a fairly upscale...

So I am a knitter, not a sower, but this week I am going to attempt sewing some fleece cage liners on my dusty sewing machine. I've been doing some research online and here's what I've got: a bunch of microfleece blankets from Walmart in different colors/ patterns (washed several times to wick...

They are three females. Well, the two older ones are definitely females. The third is a baby from a pet store, sold as a female. I should probably double check that tomorrow.

We've had our 3 female piggies for about a month. Their cage has been expanding since we got them - they are now in a 2x7 C&C cage. So I changed their bedding today in the whole entire cage, and they smelled fresh until the afternoon. But by the evening, the whole family room (where the cage is...

I've got three sows, and am thinking of getting a fourth. I've seen it mentioned online that once you get to a quad, the "herd behavior" kicks in, and things are different. Not sure what this means though. How is herd behavior different? What can I expect?

Too funny. Are they boys or girls? That kind of behavior reminds me of boys (human ones too!).

What does it mean to have peace in the cage? One of the older sows does "rattle" at the baby quite a bit, usually whenever the baby approaches her or tries to go into a hideout where the older one is resting. She has never bit the baby though, and she doesn't chase her around either. Also...

Hi everyone, seeking some piggie wisdom here. We are new owners of 3 sows. I bought two of them a month ago from a previous owner, they are a bonded pair of 2-year-olds (previously lived in a tiny cage, poor little guys). At the same time, we also bought a baby sow (now 3 months old) at...

Thanks for clearing that up! Very helpful explanation. I have three girls! And yes, I just figured out exactly what you said - that piggies hate to eat out in the open! In fact, they seem to dislike being out in the open much altogether. Just this morning, I put some cardboard "tents" in their...

So I'm a newbie. I just built a basic 2x5 C&C cage (no upper levels - my piggies hate ramps) for our three piggies, and I am mystified by the concept of a kitchen. Right now, I just put their dry food in a food bowl which moves around the cage. Their fresh food takes up a lot of space when they...

I'm a newbie on here, and a new guinea pig owner. However, I have caught the guinea pig 'bug', you could say, and I love having them! I think guinea pigs are similar to rabbits in many ways, and I was very much hoping to keep them outside part time so they could graze on the lawn in our...
