Guinea Pigs!!!

Puppy_love_122 · 07-19-2007, 11:48 PM

Does anyone else have Guinea Pigs? I have 2 young Boars Chewie and Charlie. Chewie is a 7mth old chocolate aby and Charlie is a 1yr old tricolored mixed. They have a 2x6 C&C cage with a 2X2 loft. They are so smart, and they love to nibble the toes of unsuspected Dogs, Cats, and people. They favorite veggies include BellPepper and Carrots. One of their favorite pastimes is sneeking up on Belle my rottie mix when she laying on the floor then either play with her tail or nibble on a nail then as soon as she turns to look they run, then as soon as she falls back asleep they sneek up on her again. They also do this to the cats but the cats always hear or see them and run away. Here are some pics of my baby boys ^_^!

Cute piggies! We have three sows. Two of them are a mother/daughter pair and the other is a rescue. I love your setup!!!

I used to have a little Tri girl - she died almost a year ago though.

I love your cage for the piggies! I bet they have fun going up to that loft!

Thats an awesome cage I like the stand you made. Im going to make a stand for mine as soon as I have enough money for more grids. Cute piggies.

Thanks! But I didn't make the cage, my sis did, they're her Guin Guins!

She has another one, his name is Chocolate. She doesn't have a pic of him yet, but he's brown, with a HINT of black.

Oh, I am SOOOO jealous of the cages you guys have.

I have a simple petstore bought one. Its like....5'x2'? It was the biggest one I could find.

The piggies are so cute.

I love Abys. I had an Aby, but she died a couple of years ago. Now I own a fat rescued piggy.

Here is Lucy:

Now for all of you Guinea Pig savvy people out there....what is the best way to care for a Guinea Pig? After Chum died, I learned a bit more about Cavy care, but I still don't feel like I'm doing a very good job.
And also, how can you tell if the Guinea pig is too fat? Lucy is a chubby thing, and I'm afraid she is eating to much. And yet, she doesn't get a lot of food. A handful of pellets along with some Timothy hay at night. And then every couple of days she gets some fresh veggies and grass.

Awww! They have a couch XD
And I can't help but say that is one cool cage set up there.

They bring back old memories from when I was a kid, I had two "weeps", lots of great fun they were.

I love your guinea pig cage!!! So Kool! How do you go about cleaning it??

Mad4Dogs · 07-31-2007, 11:52 AM

I have a 6 1/2 yr old female short/smooth hair guinea pig names Roxy! I love her very, very much!! She is a sweetheart. She was in a litter that her mom had. Her Mom Dana, gave birth to 3 guinea pig. 2 girls and 1 boy and the boy Teddy was a Teddy Breed. Very rare in the guinea pig breeds. I loved them all. All 3 pasted on and I have one left which is Roxy. Roxy is doing very well.

Its really easy to clean, I only have to do it about every 10 days because of the size. I sweep up the shaving with a dustpan and put them into a trashbag then spray the bottom down with a vinigar mix and put the shaving back in, it only takes about a half an hour.

It is VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD!!!! to keep a Guinea Pig ina Plastic tub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They can KILL THEM!!!!! A guinea pig requires 7.5 square feet of living space!!!! go to www.guineapigcages.com to learn how to PROPERLY cage a guinea pig!!! Also her nails are too long and need to be cut before they grow into her feet!

How dose a plastic tub kills guinea pigs??? Never heard such a thing. I just recently had cut her nails after I that pic was posted. I will put a new pic of her up shortly.

They donot provide proper ventalation and exercise.

They dont directly kill them but they casue sickness from the lack of ventalation and exercise that can casue death.
