A few weeks ago, I had to put my 2 guinea pigs up for adoption. 2 weeks later, they were adopted, and (to make a long story short) I have them back again. When I first put them on guineapigzone, I recieved an overwhelming number of responses (I'm assuming it was because it was right before...
This breaks my heart, but I think I have to rehome my two girls. They are almost 3 years old and they would come with everything (cage, fleece, litterbox, etc.) I can no longer provide the time and attention that they need. However, I am very hesitant to follow through with this for many...
My grass allergy seems to be getting worse every year. Right now, it's so bad that I cant reach into the bag of hay to feed the pigs without getting hives on my hands. Even if I wash my hands directly after this, I still have a really bad reaction. Also, I sleep in the same room my guinea pigs...
Right now, I have the pig's fleece cut to exactly the size of the bottom of the cage. The problem is that they like to leave their droppings in the corners and a lot of times the corners roll up so all of their droppings get under the fleece. This makes it a lot harder to clean the cage. How can...
Yesterday, I was cleaning the cage when I saw a spot on their ramp. It was brown with a reddish tint to it. I thought it was from their strawberries they ate a few days ago and I washed it off. Today, I found another spot, in the exact same place as yesterday. This time, it is more red. I looked...
Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get fur off of fleece. My pigs shed like crazy and I always have a big ball of fur in the dryer and washing machine after I wash the fleece.
I walked into my room today to see one of my guinea pigs chewing on the plastic bag of hay that was leaning up against the outside of their cage. I don't know who put it there because I always put it under their cage. Anyway, I moved the bag and saw they had chewed a hole that is 2x1 inches big...
My family will be going on vacation in a few weeks. While we are gone, my aunt and uncle will be comming over to our house and feeding the guinea pigs, filling up their water, and feeding the fish every day. When we are gone we dont like to keep the house very cool so we save money. Right now...
When my guinea pigs are let out for floor time they just sit there. I try to let them get out as much as posible but all they do is run under their box and hide or lay down in the corner. At first I thought they were just scared but I have put them out for floor time every day for 5 months! I...
My dog has chewed though two harnesses and half a collar. They are not too loose but he always finds a way to chew through it. We (my mom and me) went to the store today to get a replacement after comming home to find that he had eaten through his second harness. We decided to try a collar this...
My friend has two guinea pigs in a 2x4 C&C cage. She is now moving the cage to her bedroom. She needs to make a lid for it because she has a dog that will probually try to get the piggies. When she made the cage she bought a ton of grids like this: (broken link removed)
Is there a way she could...
I was wondering what breed my guinea pigs are? I will post a picture in a few hours, but the computer I am using now doesn't have the pictures saved on them. They look like americans but their fur is softer than the american guinea pig I had before. Their fur is really soft and Cinnamon's is...

My dog is 10 months old. When we first got him he was 10 weeks old and ate like a pig. He would eat all his food in less than a minute. Then a few months ago he just stoped. We called the vet and she said to try a new food and mix it in with the food he already had. We did that and he ate like...
I am thinking of adding a loft to my cage. I have two girls. My cage is a 2x3 right now. I want to hear what you think I should do. I have a few questions too.
Is there an alternative to ramps that won't take up as much room in my cage?
Do you think this will make the cage smell better or...
I noticed today that there was lighter colored poos in the cage. its not slimy or soft it just looks normal but its lighter. I haven't been feeding them anything different or anything. I heard that the poos they eat are lighter in color. Should I be worried?
So we took my dog to the vet today because he had a little bit of a limp (he is fine, the vet just thought he sprained it jumping off of something). They had 6 kittens there that were up for adoption where all the adoption money goes to sick or hurt kittens that need to get better before they...
I was wondering if it would be nessisary to get a night light for my piggies. They get plenty of light through the window durring the day but when the sun goes down, they are in the dark.
I'm not exactly sure what dominance is considered. For example, today sugar was drinking out of the water bottle. Then Cinnamon came up to her and nips/squeeked at her. Sugar ran away and Cinnamon sniffed the water bottle and then went back into her tunnel. The same thing happens while eating...
Long story short, I might need to move the pigs into my bedroom. The problem is, I have hardly any space to put them. Their cage now is a 2x3. But what if I had a 2x2 with a second story of 1x2? I have 2 females.
