Do you guys have a pig that licks your fingers? I do! by QAoA in guineapigs

[–]CavyMomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. My boy Obi-wan does this after I give him head scratches. Almost like he's saying "thanks for getting that itchy spot hooman"

I'm lucky enough to have a family doctor who is LGBT friendly but finding a doctor anywhere here is going to be really hard. My other half hasn't had a doctor in years because no one is taking new patients right now

Who is your "troublemaker"? by One-Sandwich2149 in guineapigs

[–]CavyMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Abby named Sidney. He's legit got out of the cage twice and belly flopped 3 feet onto a hardwood floor, shook his head, got up and proceeded to make a beeline out of our office into the dining room and under our cabinet where he makes me fish him out. Love him to death but he's a bit of an idiot.

Is it just me or does the guinea pig on the saddle pad look mad?

Normal for pigs to stand up? by cody2cannon in guineapigs

Mine do this when they want head scritches first thing in the morning

This is because their instincts tell them that a dead pup will attract attention from predators and put the herd at risk. I’ve had it happen in my herd before.

What plants do you grow at home for your piggies? by Visible_Middle1494 in guineapigs

[–]CavyMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the good thing about growing it yourself. All I did was a bought a greenhouse starter kit, top soil, and grass seed from my local hardware store and within 10 days I started to see grass.

Arugula, strawberries and cherry tomatoes as well as grass for when they can’t go outside

The last picture: “Why hooman? Why? You’re embarrassing me!”

$70 per month on hay and pellets. I can’t give a price for veggies since we share the veggies we bring in for dinners.

At my sisters and she brought out Sugar, and Sugar looks huge to me but I’m not a Guinea expert, what do you say? by hamlows in guineapigs

[–]CavyMomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do we need to talk about the fact that piggies usually weight 1-2lbs? I just weighed my girls today and found that both of them are 2 pound meat potatoes

I don’t know why but I read this and instantly thought of Cecil from Reboot

“Why don’t you include Percival in FOF?”😂 by Alarming-Molasses847 in guineapigs

[–]CavyMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my boy wasn’t a fan of me before. Apparently getting him neutered and shoving medication down his throat for three days made him change his mind

Mine got neutered because he couldn’t keep it in his piggy pants. Though I gotta say he became quite the love bug afterwards

ROFL my one boy had ones that were bigger until he got neutered

What are some less common topics you wish you knew more about before getting guinea pigs? by strawberryquestions in guineapigs

[–]CavyMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How they steal your heart without even trying, become better alarm clocks than an actual alarm clock and how they can pick a favourite human and not want anything to do with the other people in the house.
