    Guinea Pig "Beans" the Latest Dog Treats!!

    I wonder if I never need to purchase BeneBac for my dog, is because his most favorite treat in the whole wide world is Piggie Poo. He gets "dibs" whenever I clean cages and I never have to crawl under anything after floor time or vacuum to clean up poo!! He keeps the patio poo free too! I'm...

    FYI - New Zealand just had a store open up that SHOULD HAVE (my store here in San Francisco does) an entire selection of grids of every size imaginable and they cheap too. It's called "Daiso Japan" They are opening up stores all over the world and are really unique. The store in NZ is listed as...

    New Store that carries grids (all over the world)

    I just had one of these stores open up here in the San Francisco Bay Area and it's got an entire section of assorted grids in every size and style imaginable. This weekend we stumbled into the store and started drooling! Hubby was stoked because he LOVES to reconfigure cages and designs etc...

    This is Why We Need the Crazy PETA People- SF Bay Area alert

    We are not alone, and we need to support others efforts as much as possible: (broken link removed) Links to the a San Mateo County Journal article that appears to have just come out today. I wanted to alert the people who care about this stuff. Especially for those of us in the Cavy Spirit...

    Internet Forums and How To Behave

    Welcome to the world of internet forums. I think one thing that is important if someone is going to join a forum is to be aware of what is called Netiquette. I'd like to take a minute to review exactly what that is. I think it's something that I've seen many of us need to be reminded of, as...

    My cavy family has grown today.. we rescued a new pigger!

    I'm just so excited. I've been searching for a third boar to fill out my cage for several months in a non-committed way. Occasionaly checking the usual sites and doing online searches etc. I really wanted a pig who I could help. Someone who needed a dedicate mom to come in and rescue him. Last...

    Does anyone want to work on this one?

    I'm afraid my home system doesn't have Outlook (hubby refuses due to security blahblah) and I've found a site that is telling little kids to use kitty litter etc. It's a site meant for school use..sigh.. I can't get into the contact us info, as it attempts to immediately send an e-mail and my...

    A note to the newbies...

    Hi new folks! Just a brief note that I think is important. You will see thousands of posts referring to a set of numbers when people talk about their cages. 2x3 4x5x1x2 The units listed are GRIDS. This means that a 2x3 means that someone is talking about a 2 GRID by 3 GRID cage. Since grids...

    What Would You Do?

    Here in California, the large chains made a name for themselves by selling themselves to the public as being "rescue friendly". They decided on their own to stop selling cats and dogs because the general public became aware of the horrible environment they are in. The stores simply couldn't...

    What do you use for suckin' poo? How well does it work? Does the hay get stuck?

    I know that some people use handheld vacs for sucking poo. To me a "hand vac" is this: (broken link removed) I also know that some use shop vacs. To me a "shop vac" is this: Sears.com Tools Wet-Dry Vacs Yet others use regular household vacuums that are dedicated to poo's too. I'm in the...

    Are these straw mats a safe idea for bedding?

    What are your thoughts? There are several kinds available, and some are thick, and bulky and look like they would be painful for piggers feet. Then I found these at my local feed store: (broken link removed) I bought one for fun and put it under the occasional hidey. I've found that it...

    Mods - Kitchen Loses Intro when using new styles

    I had no idea where to post this. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but when you change the forum "style" to Piggie or Piggie Purple, this no longer appears upon entry into The Kitchen. I just tested it 3 times. This forum is run by a guinea pig rescue and is a RESCUE-FRIENDLY board...

    Let's talk about Litter Boxes and Potty Training

    I'm just curious. How many of us use litter boxes and in what ways? I'm using a hay box right now. While I have it lined and filled with bedding material, it's not really a litter box. They don't go into it JUST to use it, they just poop in it while they are sitting there. It doesn't really...

    I need advice from Shelter, Rescue Workers...another long post..

    Today was a wonderful day for me. I attended my first volunteer orientation for my local shelter. It's considered one of the top shelters in the country, with a 100% placement rate for adoptable cats and dogs, for four years running. They have over 800 people they say are volunteers. The cavies...

    Unofficial GPC Cage/Habitat Builder Competition?

    It seems like we have an awful lot of really nice cage builders here. I was thinking that it would be a good way for us to better ourselves with a little peer competition. I'm thinking it might be fun to have an impromptu cage/habitat competition. I'd be glad to manage the entries, and provide...

    Does Your Cavy Respond to Spoken Words?

    Lately, whenever it's time to vacuum the lower level, I shoo the pigs upstairs and then downstairs telling them it's time to go "up" or "down" It's funny..I really think they are learning the word "up" as they now go up sometimes when I tell them too. I don't know if its the hand movement I...
