Pet Forum / Mammals / Guinea Pigs / February 2006

When I was a child I had two pet guinea pigs, I loved them to bits. Now
that I'm married I've just bought 3 baby girls! They're absolutely
gorgeous and I love them all loads. Their names are Darla, Lola and
Tallulah.

i rescued a guinea pig from the freecycle program 3 weeks ago.  i got her in
a standard store-bought sized guinea pig cage.  it was very small and she
stayed in her "Chube" (those cardoboard pet tube house thingies they sell)
all the time.  anyway, i have never owned a guinea pig ...

stretch out on a clean dry bed..........

we've had 2 pigs for almost 6 months. Wondered if its easy, don't do
it!, etc to introduce a new pig to 2 pigs that are already settled in
together.
How have you gone about it?

Does anyone have a clue what might be going on with a guinea pig who mostly
hops to get from point A to point B? He seems otherwise healthy.

I've popped in here a couple of times now, but thought you might like to
see some pics of our pigs. These are all the pigs we've had, so some are
no longer with us.

I have a 3 year old female, Gizmo.  She's an Abyssinian.  She has
always been a robust piggie, with a hearty appetite for greens and hay
especially.  The past couple of weeks, her appetite has basically
disappeared.  She is also not drinking her water.

You all were so helpful when my other GP Blizzard passed on, so I
thought I'd try and ask a simple question...Is 8oz of water in 2 days
excessive for a GP?  Ginger, our remaining female, is in fine form but
lately seems to be absoulutely devouring the water from her feeder.

Hallo everyone!
I need to trim Squeakers nails, but her front nails are black, and I cannot
see, where the quick is.
You always have great ideas on this group, and I am sure, someone will have
