I'm really glad that most of the people in here have been nice. I think
that the comments about not feeding trolls (whoever they were meant for)
are very true. Of course I think anybody knows that when somebody seems
ignorant and attacks other people with no validity and no ...

If you make a cage out of cubes and coroplast, should it be raised off
the floor? In the pictures I've seen it looks like they aren't but that
may be due to bad perspective.
Thanks in advance,

For those who might remember me; I'm back! Piggy Ruby is still alive
(against all odss, she has had a rough time) and all other eight cavies are
happy as ever.
Help me out here, for I feel a certain game-producer is being somewhat

Do guinea pigs in their in the wild sleep during the day or night. And how
long do they sleep do they take many naps. My to seem to like rest in the
morning to about mid day and have heared moving eating in the middle of the
night.

Ella (http://users.durge.org/~stu-stu/gps/EllaJuly04.JPG and
http://users.durge.org/~stu-stu/gps/Ella2July04.JPG), the smallest of my
piggies, and noisiest, had to be euphonised on Thursday night after suddenly

I'm not sure who this bubba test person is...or the robin marin person
either... and in a lot of ways I really don't care.    i thought that
this forum was for discussion of all things relevant to the care, love
and protection of guinea pigs.   Not for discussions of NAMBLA or

Was wondering what the average cost was for a check up....Pokey seems to
be in good health....could use a manicure...and what that might cost if
I have the vet do it? I don't wanna snip any viens. Chuckie

Following the sad passing away of our GP Cahrlie I have a brand new
unused, unopened box of Oxbow hay for sale. It's a real treat for any
pig - our Charlie loved the stuff.
Please be aware this is a 9kg box, it'll cost a bomb to post and so

Pokey has about 5...Tomatoes...cucumbers...romaine lettuce...( gets very
upset when I run out of romaine ) timothy hay, and cavie cuisine.... Was
wondering what the other 5 might be? I buy him all types of fruits and
veggies....good one week...no thanks the next. Chuckie

I have a good friend who does guinea pig rescue in her home. She has a
total of about 75 well kept in cages throughout her house. Recently she
had noticed some maggot infestation in the cages and had two unexplained
deaths. She managed to find her supply of Vitakraft Nibble ...

Just a quick question to see if anyone had ever had a guinea pig treated
with the above drug.  I have 3 months supply of Stonghold (the product name,
the drug name is Selamectin) to be applied to the skin on the back of her
neck.  One of the side effects is hair loss at the site of ...

Waste of time, energy and wit. Especially as  they can't spell "humour"
properly.  :)

I've decided to upgrade my G.P's home/pen/cage to something much
larger so she can have loads of room to walk about. Her previous cage
was smaller and unfortunately had a wire base. Don't worry, I know
it's a bad thing so there was always a solid cover over it so she

Hi, this is the first time I've done this!I hope everyone's guinea-pigs
are healthy and well. I have now been keeping guinea-pigs for 5 years,
my latest pair are called Whistler and Blackcomb, and as always they've
got their own little characters. It was through keeping ...
