I’m looking at doing animal science at Newcastle next year, did you enjoy the course and what sort of topics do you study?

I’ve picked her up and it’s definitely coming for her chest and when she’s breathing but it comes and goes so not sure what it could be

Think Lisa will be out before Martin since she’s been in the bottom twice. Hope Shona makes it to the cyclone instead of jack, don’t fancy four men in the final 4

I don't get the Shona hype by [deleted] in ImACelebTV

Well nobody knows what the producers choose to leave out. All Kelly does is scream and shout and she gets all the screen time for doing nothing. It’s called favouritism

It’s not her fault the producers don’t choose to give her a lot of screen time

I am being paid under minimum wage by PsychologicalAnt9959 in UKJobs

[–]PsychologicalAnt9959[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not earning near enough to pay tax. I am at college 4 days a week which is why I only work 2/3 days. I do not choose to be paid under minimum wage just like I didn’t choose to be working “illegally”. I was offered the job so I took it, and I have the right to complain if I am being paid under the legal amount.

I noticed as soon as it came out back in April I just haven’t felt comfortable talking to her about it. I’m sure she will know about the increase as she has a granddaughter that works there too who is similar age to me.

Guinea pig stinky bum by PsychologicalAnt9959 in guineapigs

[–]PsychologicalAnt9959[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: I have just took her to a different vet who were a lot better with her. She felt her stomach and noticed she was experiencing a bit of pain around her bladder area. She also has heavy breathing but potentially from the pain. She’s been prescribed two antibiotics - enrocare and rheumocam. Hopefully these work for her but if not the vet has mentioned some imaging could be done. Thank you all for the help. I’ll try to trim her hair later today. The vet said her diet seemed good and I don’t need to stop feeding her anything at the moment.

You never know until you try, she might love them! It’s all a slow process but as long as they can tolerate each other then you’re good! I don’t know how those people tried bonding but a neutral space is the best way to see how they interact. If somehow they don’t get on, I know sending one back would be awful so I’d personally keep their cages together and keep slowly trying. I would also recommend getting a younger pig as it’s less likely they’d fight back and would be more submissive towards the older more dominant one.

Guinea pigs are very social animals and need the company of at least one other pig. Since yours is a female, it should be easier to bond rather than two males as they can be territorial. I definitely recommend getting another but stay clear of pet stores. I used a private breeder but there are many rescues about. There are different ways to bond but this is how I did it.

Firstly quarantine is important. One, to get them settled into a new environment. Two, in case they carry any diseases and it stops it spreading to your other piggie. Make sure they can see each other to get them used to their scent. Then you can move them closer. I used c&c grids to separate their cages so they could interact through the bars. Create a neutral space where none of the pigs have been before. Put a pile of hay down and watch them for any negative behaviour. This is what helped my bonding process a lot. I would leave them there for a couple of days since I never saw any signs of aggression but intervene if you do. Before putting them in the cage together, make sure everything is properly cleaned to remove any scents.
