Hi, I saw this warning while I was surfing the GP forums so forgive me if I can not post a link like this but I think this is worth mentioning to those like myself that build thier GP or Rabitt cages out of the Organize-it Cubes from target and K-mart. The have made changes to the grids and some...

I was thinking of getting a GP. But i have a question. Do they smell much? Because i have a small room and i dont really want it to stink up the place.:)

Ok. Sooo, I've heard about housing chinchillas and degus together, and I've also a few times heard of housing degus and guinea pigs together. I also know on degus.org it says degus could also live with rabbits, but I was wondering the accuracy (for lack of a better word) of that. Regardless of...

Okay I haven't really researched but I DO know that they need vitamin C. Okay I don't really know what I'm asking. I was in the petstore the other day (oh the dreaded pet store) and this girl kept asking us to hold animals because she didn't want to wait on customers. I totally...

Hi me agian!! Can you tell I have a lot of questions! Okay, I'v read on a previos post that galvenized wire is really bad for goos, but I have just bought a cage of g. wire. Is there anything I can do to it, like spray it or something. I don't want to harm my soon-to-be goos.:confused: Thanks...

I just thought I would share the news that as of today I have been looking for two piggy to adopt from local shelters in my home town. There is an organization in my home town that does free adoptions with the exception that you give your pets a neutering or spaying. And I called there office...

Heys :) I'm trying to find a new cage for Zeus online for when we stay with Chris. We've been using a cube cage there but I don't have much room to make it huge, so I figured I might as well get him a nice sturdy cage. I don't want anything huge because of the limited space there, and Zeus is...

Found a new pet shop this aft and decided to look in, i saw some cutie piggies and apparantly a show breeder supplys the pet shop with all the pigs that wont make it in the show ring. In the corner of the pen was a messy black piggie, no idea what it was but shes a cutie so i brought her home...

Well, I'm now proudly owned by a new piggy, named Kakuro. He's quite small, has a rosette on the top of his head, and is black and white. I believe he's a boy. He's very adorable and likes being cuddled and loves cucumbers. :heart: :hyper2: So, what are some things I should get him? I...

Since I'm going to be working with animals soon, I figure it's best to educate myself even more and learn about animals I don't have. Can anyone recommend good sites? I used to bookmark sites but I lost them all.

Today, Bear, my youngest male went to the vet to have his manhood taken away, he's recovering very well and I decided to snap some shots of him as well as of my three guys together, introductions are going smoothly, Ash, my male boy didnt seem very pleased with adding a male, he told me he would...

I thought it would be fun to start a thread with everyone cages. Maybe some people can get some good ideas for their own piggies. I have had many cage designs over the past couple years. Thats one of the reasons I love C&C cages so much. You can always change them around. Here was one of my...

Not sure if I can list this here. If not I am sorry. My name is Michelle. I rescue Guinea Pigs. I currently have 18 great little piggies. My GP's are looking for a great new home. They want someone who will play with them and feed them veggies and clean up after them. They are looking for...

I have finally put my two groups of girls in one cage. It took four months, but I think that they will finally be getting along. I just can't believe how they act towards each other now. There was bloodshed just a few months ago. Even three weeks ago, poor Gizmo got a busted lip. I redid...

Hi! I'm new here and I have a few questions. My family has 2 female guinea pigs, named Anika and Eleanor. Sometimes when I hold them they start to try to eat my hair. They aren't just chewing on it - they're really trying to eat it. Is this normal? Will it hurt them if they swallow any hair? We...

Lol I am so new to guinea pigs. They are so cute and lovable though. I was wondering what I means when you pet them and they headbutt you lol. They don't do it all the time just occasionally and only 2 of the 3 do. Thanks! ~Jenn

Well everyone I still have to talk to my mom about it but there is someone on the local freecyclers group here who just posted about getting rid of their gp...just because the daughter doesn't want him anymore. From the sounds of it he hasn't been held much and needs a lot of work but I'm...
