Snow, I have gotten to know you pretty well. You will be fine! You've been preparing for this for a long time. I have confidence you can take care of them well.

She already stated she cannot take him in because of her landlord, not space issues. My suggestion Vickie is to change the diet and cage first. As others said, introduction is much more likely to be successful if they first have more room. Isn't muesli a lot of grains? Last I heard Guinea Pigs...

That is an amazing cage, so wonderful and roomy. I bet they love it!

Hehehe, that piggy is colored much like my Talia! :)

Wow I love that cage! They sure look happy, and I'm sure they are much better off then they would be otherwise :) They all look healthy and happy. ETA: I would probably name the black and white one Oreo just because that was the name of one of the first guinea pigs I ever interacted with, a pig...

O no Snow....I'm so sorry I know how excited you were. *hugs* Keep looking around you, maybe you can find a new place to get one? I know it's discouraging and it's unfair you've put so much work into preparing for this pig...

Mmm, well I did say I was taking educated guesses. Either way they sound like they at least need a good soak in warm water, The grime and urine and matting cannot be any better for their skin and fur then some plain old warm water. Something needs to rinse them off? Warm water should work...

Should be safe for her. J&J's does a good baby shampoo. Just don't wet her head and try and keep her from getting water in her mouth or nostrils. If you're concerned about it, just bath the one you suspect is pregnant in some warm water as well as possible. Cut their hair before you bath so you...

I'm no expert but an oatmeal-based shampoo or a gentle no-tears baby shampoo should be pretty easy on their skin. (You can even find oatmeal "soaps" with no actual "soap", we got one from the vet for our Shih Tzu because she has very sensitive skin.) If the cavies are matted and smell then I...

According to GPC, a minimum of 13 sq ft is required for 4 guinea pigs, with more being preferred. Their measurement is listed as 30"x76", or 2x6. According to a square foot calculator I found online, 4.5'(roughly 56 inches)x3.5'(42 inches), is 16 sq ft. That is a good amount of room for your...

Guinea Pig is definitely nicer and cuddlier then hamsters, as well as live longer. I'm thrilled with mine, but I agree that they should be rescued if you can. Also get two. I tried to get two females but one decided he wanted to be male. (o.O) They will be much happier when I get him neutered...

I'm sure he is so happy about being there. I know my female is a huge cuddler, I love just laying around with her. I've fallen asleep with her next to me or on top of me and she just purrs and sits there. He will probably be so much happier with your family, good for you (and your husband).

That's so cool! My male, Shintari, chirps occasionally, but only ever once or twice. It's never sounded like a bird singing, he normally does it to get my dad's attention. My female, Talia, she likes to purr. So does that mean one of my cavies is a bird and one is a cat? Haha. Anyways, congrats...
