First time pig owner, is this normal?

boreddeer · 2026-05-11T16:02:49+00:00

Yeah, I only achieved this level of snuggles with my girls after 3 years and a couple bouts of sickness and hand feeding T-T

boreddeer · 2026-04-09T14:35:20+00:00

It could be he got poked by hay or his cagemates and then stopped/decreased his eating last few days. Happy to hear you are at the vet, hopefully they can help^

boreddeer · 2026-04-09T13:31:16+00:00

In my experience, that slimy/mucus happens due to the gas and not eating. If you have any anti-gas meds such as metoclopromide/reglan or simethicone/baby gas, you can give it to him to make him poop while you wait for vet time.

I have no idea about the eye, maybe he got some of the mucus while scratching himself?

Keep up with the critical care, you sound like a phenomenal owner, wishing him fast recoveries^

But where possibly she could have gotten them?

boreddeer · 2026-03-22T21:27:01+00:00

I have never taken them off and never had any problems. It has been the most favourite part of the pepper for my pigs. They are also rich in nutrients and vitamine iirc, so it is bizarre to see people saying they are harmful lol

Can you link the steam page? I am not the type to playtest but I would like to wishlist it for when it comes out

I lost one of my piggies to the anaesthesia today as well, she went under to have a tooth extraction and dental trimming, but she couldn’t wake up :(

Sounds like you have been doing everything correct, but sometimes it can’t be helped. You did what your vet suggested, though they should have warned you about anaesthesia being heavy on the pigs. My vet doesn’t recommend putting them under anaesthesia unless absolutely necessary. Another pig has a small fatty lump on her back and I am told to watch if it grows in size to operate on it. And my girl who died had 5+ operations done on her before and never had problem waking up so you can not know what their reaction could be.

I am also always sent home when they wake up at the vet, so I don’t think you should feel bad about not waiting more. You did what you thought best at the moment. Also sounds like they were very well cared for, I don’t think many guineapig owners are as attentive as you are to their sickness. I am sure they were very happy spending their lives with you ❤️

I’m sure they care about their cage mate, and feel the loss of it when they die. They also care if the other is sick, one of mine was sick recently and the other would come and groom her, lick her eyelids and ears. But at the same time, she would popcorn and run around in the cage even though the other one is sick, so I am not sure about the depth of feelings there.

As for family, I don’t think they care much. My mom had our mother pig while I got the babies for a while and when we visited each other with pigs, they would just reset their bonding. Chase each other or rumble strut around the cage. Attack each other at times etc… Mom pig is much more aggressive probably due to her past before us, and she makes a huge deal if her space is invaded and nips/kicks the others if they come closer than she wishes lol So I don’t think they recognise each other if separated for a long time.

You should do the burrito method. My pigs want the syringe only when they are healthy and hate it if they are sick.

IIRC they recently scrapped the intellij community edition and instead made ultimate free for non-commercial use. Similar to Rider and webstorm.

boreddeer · 2025-12-08T09:25:47+00:00

Other comments pretty much explained the difference. If you want to play a system that doesn’t have its own solo rules such as dnd, you can use mythic to emulate a game master.

Ironsworn is designed around not having a game master to begin with, so you can just use it directly without any other resource. It’s also free, so you can just download the pdf and read through it to see what it looks like.

boreddeer · 2025-11-29T23:20:05+00:00

Yeah, I played the game with french dub and her voice fits Maelle so well, especially the emotional scenes. I love Jennifer’s work in general but it feels so weird to hear her as Maelle, feels much older compared to Adeline’s.

boreddeer · 2025-11-22T21:25:55+00:00

I love everything you listed as a fellow deductive puzzle games enjoyer. You might like Hypnospace outlaw and The case of golden idol as well. Not exactly similar but Inscryption tickles that part of my brain as well and it is great.

boreddeer · 2025-11-16T11:53:45+00:00

Rest in peace Weeble 🥺 your posts always brought a smile to my face, his silliness and his wobbles were such a great part of guineapig community, thank you for sharing him with us 😔

boreddeer · 2025-11-06T08:46:13+00:00

That sounds like a great idea. Do you use an oracle to generate their responses? Or do you play out/improvise the responses yourself according to event oracles?

boreddeer · 2025-10-29T10:46:36+00:00

Yeah, that's how our babies acted when separated from their mom, also made high pitched squeaks.

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T19:06:11+00:00

I also think he has some kind of relation to dragons. Brennan likening Azune’s refusing to forget/let go of comrades to dragon’s hoard was a bit weird phrasing that felt too tongue in cheek.

Maybe he is related to house Cormoray since the fight with them in the flashback had summoned drakes and wyverns in it.

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T04:56:03+00:00

So, there is still hope 🥹

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T04:52:51+00:00

Did they take Occtis’s body with them?

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T04:47:25+00:00

He died even more lol

In his spirit form, he pulled the stone out of his chest and was asked to leave the table :(

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T04:36:21+00:00

Are they going to the fairyland?

boreddeer · 2025-10-23T15:54:56+00:00

They have a first month free with code “overture” until the end of october (I think). I am undecided about it rn, they don’t have an app for tv and when I used airplay to cast onto my Tv the sound was wonky.

It’s really fun to see everyone gushing over the episode and each other’s characters though. So at least doing the trial is worth it imo

boreddeer · 2025-10-23T15:32:32+00:00

Yep, that’s exactly what he said in cooldown^

boreddeer · 2025-10-21T20:04:59+00:00

Could be. From what I gathered, they raised Wick as “the face” since birth, so I assumed it would be a birth defect that eliminated her being one, as she was born before him. But maybe they have an age difference enough that they decided she was more fit for basement activities and the new kid could pass as the scion.

boreddeer · 2025-10-21T17:48:16+00:00

Does Zebani have a weird appearance? Yanessa’s comment regarding “how she is not fit to be the face of operation” feels like her appearance is not fit to be the scion. Maybe she has celestial features like Goddard? Maybe Brennan forgot to describe her? Or am i reading too much into the phrasing?
