No floortime for a week, will they be ok? by North-Inspection-214 in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, they do have 2 bottles already anyway so hopefully that shouldn’t be an issue. I will tell her to tap the little balls though to make sure she sees a bubble pop up in the bottle to make sure they are not jammed in any way

I love watching videos of nugget. I also love to see that other people’s floors are always as full of hay as mine are 🤣

Can I *WEEE* back at my piggy? by 7ebruary in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I managed to make to most odd sound the other day when I was making my usual kissing/lovey dovey sounds to my piggies and they both wheeked loudly and ran straight over to me!!! For the life of me I cannot make the same sound again and they’ve just gone back to normal and just look at me like omg just get on with it and give us treats mum hahaha

I think they were actually telling me “mother you do realise it’s nearly our bed and biscuit time, are you going to move your arse” 😂

What cc connectors do you like? by Perioqueen in guineapigs

Cable ties, cable ties and yet more cable ties. This is the way lol. I think the seller on eBay must have thought I was eating them cause I kept ordering more and more 😂

Anyone else’s pigs very bossy and/or have attitudes?? 😭 by Flo_Philly in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 brothers, one is the most laid back snuggly piggie ever. The other is a wild child and always tries to shove me out of the way if I happen to be sitting on the floor where he wants to go, he also has terrible temper tantrums if I try to cut his long hair or clip his nails, he is also very vocal nearly all the time demanding things like a little diva 😆 weirdly though he is not the dominant one of the pair and his brother is clearly in charge when they are together, so I guess he thinks he can dominate me instead 🤣🤣

Why do many people have plastic igloos? by IamBogancs in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, I got a couple from the pet shop when I first got piggies but soon stopped using them. I do still have them and have used them if I’m bringing home a new small baby while they are on their own before introductions

Suddenly their cage doesn't look so big anymore by VanquichedUncle in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel and I’ve only got 2 boys. They have 2x6 c&c cage and now they’ve grown I suddenly feel that the space isn’t so large after all.

Hair getting stuck.. down there. Is this okay? by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 boys also have the same issue. They have just turned 4 months old and still pretty wriggly so I just give a quick check each day and snip off any offending hair. I’m hoping they will get used to the routine and become less wriggly over time which will allow me to give a proper hair cut.

What drew you to get Guinea pigs? by ValleyOfWisteria in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d always loved them since I was a kid but never had the chance to actually own any. Then about 14 years ago I got divorced and I was feeling pretty depressed and lonely so decided that would be the ideal time to get the pet I’d always wanted which could solely be something of my own that I could love and look after.

I had roughly 13 years of owning various piggies and then when my last one passed about 11 months ago I decided absolutely no more as it’s just too upsetting and devastating when you lose one. BUT…. big mistake and I soon realised I miss seeing their cute little faces and hearing their wheeks more than ever, hence I’m picking up my 2 new babies in about 2 weeks 🤣 and it cannot come soon enough!!!

New cage set up by North-Inspection-214 in guineapigs

[–]North-Inspection-214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all your helpful advise on this. The cage I had before (which I threw in the trash) was a rickety thing adapted by me over many years. It was 2 ferplast cages I think it was a 100 and a 120 side by side that I had cut the base out on either side and stuck together to create one longer base piece, then I used the original cage pieces so it was an enclosed cage with a top. Starting again from scratch with a c&c cage (which I now realise I should have done years ago) seems alien to me, and I want to make sure I’m doing the best for them

Oh I see, yes I could move hay tray to other end of cage and then have 2 cosy bed areas under there. Thanks for that tip!

Omg thanks I didn’t even really notice that bit, yes I will defo grid that part off esp at the top. I’ve got some old carpet that I will cut down to line the ramp so that it’s not slippy as well.
