    Teeth Malocclusion and heart murmur---help!

    I took my three-year-old piggie, Bailey, to the vet on Friday because he was having trouble eating. (He was interested in food but couldn't seem to actually eat it.) I suspected malocclusion, and the vet confirmed it---his front teeth have become overgrown and he also has overgrowth on his back...

    Any Massachusetts piggie owners in here?

    I'm writing an article about adopting and caring for guinea pigs for Pet Gazette, a regional pet magazine in Massachusetts. The editor wants a strong local spin on the piece, so I'm looking for a few Bay State piggie moms and dads to interview for my article. If you fit the bill and you'd like...

    For the fleece users...

    I was wondering if anyone who uses fleece can give me some advice. I currently use a mix of aspen and Carefresh in the lower level of the cage, and fleece on the upper level. The boys love their loft so much that I'm considering using fleece on the bottom level, too. I have one question...

    Introduction (with pigtures!)

    Hi, fellow cavy slaves! I've been lurking here for about a month, but this is my first post. My name's Angela, and I live in Wilmington, DE. I currently have two piggies named Leo and Max. We've had them for two months--their exact age is unknown, but Max is estimated to be about eight months...
