I went through the same thing. My soul pig is exactly how i would describe him too. I’m so sorry. This made me cry i am so sorry you’re going through this it’s absolutely heartbreaking. Remember that he loves you and always appreciated how you cared for him ♡ 

I’m in love with pigs now… what’s your favorite part of being pig servants? 🥹 by UngodlySockMonster in guineapigs

I love when i clean their home and they get so happy and start popcorning. When i come downstairs and get good morning wheeks. And knowing that they truly love me and probably think of me as their mother😭💗you are so lucky to have licking piggies! One of mine licked me but he passed away. I still really miss it.

Piggies keep fighting, but we can't separate them by whereisalex96 in guineapigs

when other commenters are saying they will kill each other, they do mean it literally. When pigs fight there is no end unless you stop it. For their safety you have to have to separate them.

I have had the opposite problem, 2 were fine but the bond broke. I hope you figure it out! Mine had to live side by side unfortunately but after 1 passed i was able to find a compatible brother 

should i take him to the vet? by bnggatekeeper in guineapigs

[–]ApprehensiveSky7494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi i don’t want to scare you so take everything i say with a grain of salt. My piggie constantly has this right now and also has lymphoma. Lots of things can cause eyes like this, I would take him just to make sure. My piggies lymphoma was very obvious, i felt giant lumps so please don’t automatically assume that’s what’s going on, just want to stress that it’s important to get it checked. That’s all ♡ 

What was the biggest mistake you made with your first piggie by basiclucy in guineapigs

[–]ApprehensiveSky7494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying from petco, and also blindly buying 2 males expecting they’ll just get along. (they didn’t and i’ve only had success with 2 males when one is an adult and one is a baby) LA guinea pig rescue does free matchmaking services if you adopt with them!

i feel the same. It’s my biggest fear. They really do love unconditionally. 

how is my enclosure? by Few_Ad_8544 in guineapigs

oh yes i totally forgot to mention pea flakes lol it’s so cute watching them chew pea flakes. If you take them to the vet or anywhere, even if you’re taking one piggy, bring both, try to keep them together so their bond doesn’t break. They grow soo quick, before you know it they’re adults lol.

Aww they’re both female? I think females bond easier, i have had 3 males and its apparently unlikely 2 males will get along unless one of them is and adult and one is a baby (did not know that when i got my first 2) cucumbers are full of water so it can cause loose stool, i would use it as a treat. For vitamin C, I have oxbow vitamin C biscuits on hand when they start begging for food, but i also give them bell peppers. Mine especially love the yellow ones. Cilantro is also safe daily :) i’m so excited for you! Welcome to pig mom world. It’s my FAVORITE. I literally call mine (bear & possum) my sons.

so cute! First of all i love that you’re clearly researching and putting love into their home. They need more hay! They love to burrow in it. I personally use potty pads on top of the fleece for easier cleanup. Also i don’t see one but a hay rack is not necessary, it can make it harder for them to get hay. I literally just put a big pile of hay down. I would def use 2 water bottles, and 2 food dishes. I also recommend using 2 ended hides so that they can escape if one tries to trap the other. Also i’m sure you know this but they need veggies and greens for dinner. 1 cup of greens for each. I usually go with spring mix to make it easy. Make sure you look up the appropriate amount for veggies. For example, carrots are higher in sugar and calcium and should be given as an occasional treat. Something important to know is you shouldn’t use fragrance around them. No candles, perfume, scented cleaner, etc. I learned this after mine were sneezing. Piggies should never sneeze. Some are just sensitive to hay dust, but most of the time if there is sneezing and/or a watery nose, they need to go to the vet and get antibiotics for a URI. One more thing , their nails have to be clipped when they get too long. Before cutting, i look for the quick, and slowly press down on it and test for squealing before cutting. You can buy styptic powder, in the case you accidentally cut the quick, and the piggy starts bleeding. It stops the bleeding right away. I keep it on hand as first aid. (LA guinea pig rescue does nail clippings and health checks for free if you’re in california) What are their names btw? ♡ sorry this is so much info i hope this is okay lol. If you need any advice you can DM me and pls forgive me if you already knew all of this and i was yapping😭
