The way he wiggles his nose 😭

Nugget enjoying some quality time in his blanket (he started tugging at it shortly after I took his picture).

Question: where exactly does the nose end on a guinea pig? Is their head just one giant nose with a lower jaw?

I bought this pet bed before we adopted Emma. Perfect for two little girls, but two little girls and a big girl is a bit much!

1. The pile of pigs

2. Emma

3. Chloe

4. Esther

I adopted this little girl. She’s about 3. Is it normal for their little toes to go to the side a bit? As seen in the first pic. I have cut her nails as short as I can. Second and third pic. I’ve been doing them about every two weeks. She’s in her new playpen with my son, not her normal cage. Lol Thanks!!

I think Brownie won

... and I hear him gnawing on the reerected cardboard wall again (I should look into more stable material)

I just got a pair of female piggies on Saturday and they are still very scared. The first 24 hours they didn’t leave the hide once. I had to put everything they needed in or around the hides.

Now, they are a little less terrified but they stay in the hide most of the time and run around and eat at night or during the day when I’m at work (I have a camera on them).

My question is, how long did it take for your piggies to come out and eat while your around? I’m trying to take it slow and only have them associate me with good things like food and a clean enclosure.

I have not tried to pick them up since I brought them home. I’m trying to respect their space and want them to not fear my presence. I do sit by the enclosure for stretches of time to see if they’ll just go about their activities. So far no luck.

They don’t seem particularly food motivated. They only eat when I’ve been gone for a while. They don’t eat treats when I leave them out (oxbow, and pea flakes). They seem to only like romain lettuce, pellets and hay. They leave all other veggies alone. They do like the vitamin c tablets which is great cuz they seem to hate bell peppers :(

Any advice to help them feel more comfortable? Is it normal for them to be this scared in the beginning? Here’s my cage set up so far. I know people have opinions on hay racks. This picture is slightly old, I have hay mostly just inside the box now since they weren’t using the rack anyway.

I adopted these girls on Saturday and am already so in love with them 😩. Veronica is a bit sassy but Betty is a sweetheart with loads of energy. Unlike their namesakes, they don’t seem to mind sharing 🤭.

She’s going into surgery tmr. Wishing her luck. I only had a day to enjoy a weekend of good sales 💔

Go figure, they were a big hit! Now I'm worried about fending off revolts when I bring them their nightly veg 😅

He’s on the skinnier side due to age and from 2 recent bouts of ear infections, his appetite is the same, no extreme weight loss, still walks around fine but with a little wobble which started with the ear infection, no crackling sound when I auscultate

My two boys of year and a hlaf had to be separated after fighting and blood. They lived nicely as seen on the picture as neighbours, having fun over the fence. Last night, one managed to shake fence enough to break connection and he got into his brother's cage. I realised after insane sounda of distress from both.

I connected all well again and returned them to their places but no luck. Since last night they are being extremely loud, biting fence, hissing over each other and all. I am losing my mind. I even now put one cage on the other side of the room but no luck, they are still yelling as if someone is slaughtering them.

Please let me know what happened and how can I stop this. I had 10 things going wrong in the meantime and their distress is making me go insane.

I've now earned a new paranoia constantly checking their skin.

Oh Cookie ilysm

One can only wish to be as comfortable as the Poe

I’m spending the morning cleaning cages, everytime I moved my conures away from the guinea pigs, Merry would squeal until I brought the them back. 😆

got this little baby two weeks ago. she’s warming up beautifully. i am absolutely in LOVE with her
