My close family friends/neighbors are getting their soon to be 10-year-old son a guinea pig for his birthday after much thought on what animal would be the best for him. He is an incredibly responsible kid who loves all animals and would be a fantastic guinea pig owner. His parents and I are...

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.:)

Hey Everyone, I'm considering adopting / buying (preferably adopting) two guinea pigs. It depends on whether the shelter in my area has guinea pigs or not.. they only really advertise for cats and dogs. This would be the second time for me, I've had 2 in the past, one who lived for 8 years and...

So, a friend of a friend got a guinea pig a while back. She lives in a dorm on campus, and has been hiding it since they aren't allowed. Well, now she's decided she doesn't have time for the thing. So she's asking my friend, Ben, to take it. Actually, she's telling him that he HAS to take...

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! 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...

Does anyone have experience with keeping two species of animals together? What happened in the end? Please share. I thought I would share my experiences (well kind of) with you, but if I share mine you’ve got to share yours ;) . I am very cautious about keeping two different species of any...

Male Guinea Pigs Will Fight Truth: Male guinea pigs are more likely to fight in small spaces than females, but most males are completely fine if given enough space. However, pet store cages do NOT provide enough space for male or female guinea pigs. So build your own! Guinea Pig Cages...

I recently got another guinea pig (like a month ago). I'm still not postitive about its sex, but im looking up more sites at the moment to see if what it is. But I was wondering the best way to introduce another? Of course I will get the same sex once I figure out what mine is. I don't want mine...

I recently bought two male guinea pigs from a breeder (I will have pics of them soon). I have heard from a lot of places that they like to be out and graze in a controlled area. Well, I can't afford a grazing arc for them, so I was wondering if a harness would be good. I have read about some...

I was reading on a way to enclose my piggies once I get them, since only two of the three are bonded. I have one wire top-pan bottom cage that I was planning on using for the one pig, but I was reading online about using a kiddie pool as a habitat! That would be nice for the two, and easy to...
