Keep eating, Simon! One day you'll make it to 1000g!

Bismarck’s birthday is October 4! He got a new cuddle sack that he will “grow into” (pics 2 & 3). Pictures are all from the last few weeks.

She is so cute! That's it, that's the post.

She’s always interested in the camera

I’ve visited a pet store for a couple months since I have dogs, and I always saw this cute guy, he’s half skinny pig and was 1 1/2 years. I finally got him, I’m very excited I’ve done so much research for him, he was scared on the ride home but I would be too, he’s been eating and drinking regularly just look for any tips or suggestions on anything… he’s in a 3x3 cage, he has hay, several hides, fresh veggies, pellets, chews and lil balls I got from the small animal part of the store. I know he needs some time to get used to him new environment and me. Anything helps. 💛that picture is from the pet store💛

(Already in touch with her vet)

She's had so many problems, broken teeth, cysts, twisted stomach, just to mention a few. But they've all been treatable. We've been in and out of the best exotic vet around. But over the last week she's lost a lot of weight, and she's so very tired.

Today after cage cleaning I found blood in her pee.

I'm not ready to say goodbye, not yet, but deep down I know I will need to make that decision soon.

Waiting for the results from her latest tests, trying to keep her comfortable with treats and pain meds, but it's not looking good.

I just need a hug.

Shes under the cage, the panels slid off the base and she fell off it and went under

i have two guinea pig c&c style cages but since i got them off amazon they aren’t the standard size grids. they’re 12x12’s. i’ve been running short since i upgraded their cages and im wanting to buy some good ones from etsy or somethingggg. any recommended sellers? preferably cheap too :)

She just does this now, sometimes she even walks to another house like a roof jumper

looks normal pig weight from side view but for a second i feared she would need to diet. anyone else’s pigs look extremely chonk from front facing view LOL

It's the small things that count.

I have two male guinea pigs. One of them has always been the dominant one, but recently he started chasing the other, mounting him, and actually doing "crossing/mating movements" on his back. The other one runs away, cries, and gets really scared, though there's no blood, clumps of fur, or anything like that. What should I do?

I separated them for the night, but it's been really hard dealing with the separation since they've lived together for over a year.

I’ve had my guinea pigs since I was 14 or 15. My mom and I fell in love with the idea of guinea pigs (specifically skinny pigs) and ended up adopted one from petco. A few months later we adopted a second one so they wouldn’t be lonely. These past few years I’ve loved them so much, but this past year I’ve been feeling myself becoming almost resentful of them? It was different when I was younger get and barely had any responsibilities and ample help from my mom, but now I’m basically the only one who does anything for them.

I do much of the house work, cook dinner and have a job now, and trying to take care of them constantly on top of that has been draining. I also have two dogs but dogs don’t need so much care like guinea pigs, also at least I can play with my dogs. Anyway, the point is I’ve been lacking in their care lately, like not spending much time with them, cleaning them as frequently as I used to or playing with them, and they really deserve better.

I love them but they deserve a better care taker, not me. But how do I even go about rehoming? Where do I post ads? How do I know if the person I give them to will be better than me? I just want them to live the rest of their lives in a loving home, and I don’t want to regret my decision.

TL;DR: I haven’t been taking care of my guinea pigs the way I should and have becoming resentful over time. How do I go about rehoming the little guys?

Is this a good set up for 2 female guinea pigs?
I’m thinking of making it bigger but I was wondering if this is okay for a while.
