I have 2 adult guinea pigs and now 2 babies, I plan on keeping them all what is the best size cage for them to all to have room to run and play? I do not want my girls to fight and I know being too close will cause that. All of my pigs are girls, a mother and 2 daughters and an Aunt.
I have every intention on keeping all of my girls, and possibility adopting a few more girls later on. But for now I am not sure on what size cage I should got/make for them so they have the best amount of room to play and run.
I was thinking of making a C&C cage that is 2×5 maybe and putting a second story on it, I figured that would give them room to hide and play. The Cage I have now is a 2×3, and it is getting small fast, I didn’t realize how fast these little girls would grow.
If anyone has any input on a cage size please let me know and thank you.
Thank you on the info about the ramps, I really don’t want my girls hurt.
I read a site that said something like 13 sq feet or more , does that sound right?
Would building one out of wood be better than the coroplast? I know it would be heaver and everything but would that be better for the pigs? They don’t play very rough or anything, but I could get the material easier that way.
I’m just wondering if they would eat it, or if the wood would be bad for them in any way.

ok i have 3 guinea pig babies and need to know everything and i want to know when i can handle the babies they were born tuesday and today is sunday plz answer

It needs to be homemade please, nothing with a box. She will be 3 next month, she is kind of short for her age. She could be a hula girl (I have a grass skirt, flower necklaces, and a half top). She could also be a farmer (bandanna, overalls, plaid shirt, stuffed pig or cow, straw hat). Or she could be a cheerleader in my old uniform which I would have to pin up to fit her correctly, it would be a little big for her. Her two older brothers (5, and 2) are going to be punk babies. She is very girly girl. She can either match them or not, either way is fine. It also needs to be easy to make!

I am being a dark fairy.

we rescued a little bitty pot belly pig recently.she is such a little sweet heart. she was shy at first but is comming out of her shell.we havent had her very long.maybe a month or so..
we noticed the other day she has quite a big belly. it is almost touching the ground. she did not look like that when we took her in,tho.
im thinking she may be going to have babies.(we do not have any other pigs,so she must have been bred when we got her).. any advice from experiance would be great. any helpful tips.we have been doing some research on line,but nothing beats experience
thanks.

We have 2 dogs and 2 potbellied pigs. Our yard is fenced in and we work hard to make sure our animals don’t bother no one else. We have bird feeders and houses everywhere because we love to see all the differant birds. But cats come over our fence and kill our baby birds. We have attracted them here and someone thinks their cat can just roam and kill what we have built as our sanctuary. I finally called the law and they said if any animal got into our yard that it was legal to shoot them. I tried telling our neighbors about this and they got angry. It’s alright that their cats kill our birds but we are not suppose to kill their cat? Doesn’t make much sense to me. Only seems fair. Their cat has no right in our yard when we have worked so hard to make sure our animals don’t get in theirs. Why do people think this is alright. I don’t hate carts, but I just don’t want them in my yard. Why don’t people with cats take on more responsibility for their pet? All people don’t want them!
One thing I do control my animals. They all have been trained. The pigs are cleaned up regularly and on their side of the fence there is no one that can live on that side but we do have a privacy fence there. But their yard is cleaned regularly. Our dogs our mainly inside and if not, they are in our yard. I do not see why people think I should put out money to control others peoples animals. We have our fence put up to control ours, and it mostly keeps other peoples animals out, except for cats out of control. And if I did have a cat it would be inside or on a leash because I will not let my animals bother anyone else. They are my babies. Because it is the only responsible thing to do. And when I said I talked to someone about this it was the sheriff. So I do believe he knows the law. Like I said I have nothing against cats and maybe one day I will have one. But I will be responsible with it considering my neighbors would proubly expect me to like I do the rest of them.

today my pet Guinea pig had 2 babies. what do i do to take care of them.

HELP I NEED TO KNOW

I recently bought two adorable female syrian hamsters who were babies from the same litter. But for some reason, they don’t seem like pets. They are aggressive but that doesn’t stop me from interacting with them and trying to tame them, although all I get in return is a bloodied finger or a mark. They sleep, eat, drink and fight me. I am attempting to seperate them from eachother but cannot actually pick them up without them squeaking or ganging up on my pinkie finger. I already had a male syrian before them who was gentle and loving, so Im not sure what’s going on.

Now to a guinea pig. My recent experience with one was dreadful which lead me to purchase two syrians, but that was because of the petstore and not because of the pig. Everything was fine – until the second day, that is. I found out that the shop had sold me a guinea pig that owed mites, dandruff and bugs. It came as a shock but I decided to keep it and try and find some treatments for it. The ones I found in my town an amazing £20 each. That comes in at an amazing £60. Thats fine – but I was not willing to pay for medicine for him that cost that much when he was actually SOLD to me in this state. Even if he had caught the bugs a month after purchase I would of spent money for treatment, but because the shop had actually conned me into buying this poor but ill guinea pig, I was too amazed at what they had done to do so.

So, I went with my mum to the shop that we had bought him from, and this is when the con revealed itself. They said it had no bugs, mites or dandruff (even though I had compared his skin and behavior to that of an ill guinea pig online) and used a magnifying glass to ‘prove it’. We gave back the abused guinea pig in regret and we where not allowed our money back because of the "proof". I was very upset and wanted to buy another one from a trusted shop, but my mum has gone off them and Im not sure how to prove that I can look after one to a huge standard as she has actually become terrified of the animals. Im amazed as she will never be interacting with it; I will. Therefore Im not sure what the problem is with me buying another. I just need to prove Im worthy.

How?
What do I need to do?
I love hamsters and guinea pigs, but my mum is calling the house a "farm" because of all the animals even though we only have three tiny hamsters. I just wish there was a way to convince her. Please help.
No, your misunderstanding the question! I didn’t want to, my mum made me! I was devistated and very upset!
I actually TOLD her pretty much what you said, Piggy, and she didn’t listen. She was very hard to talk to and she had made up her mind about the situation. Don’t tell me that Im unfit to be an owner, because I have owned many pets that have grown into healthy, loving animals. My hamster has lived for four years and is still going, even though the typical lifespan is two. I was not suggesting that I would give up my hamsters for a guinea pig, but rather asking whether I should leave my hamsters alone for a little bit so they could settle in – thats why I said "give up". I meant "give up trying and let them relax".

My male guinea pig jumped in her cage and she is a year and half and never had babies, what would happen if she is pregnant.
