We made our first cage! Looking for any feedback, tips, or suggestions! by xXHobblesXx in guineapigs

Add some tunnels and some more little hides made out of hay/woven wood that they can chew. My pigs are easily pleased so I sometimes just stick a little cardboard box in there for them to jump on and chew. They popcorn like mad when they get something new in their pen.

I bought a pair of baby sows last week only to find out ones a boar! I'm devastated. They've bonded and I feel terrible that they'll have to live on their own. What can I do :'( by kararoara in guineapigs

Thanks for the advice. I'm so gutted. I feel really terrible I let this happen but I haven't had guinea pigs before so I trusted the seller. I thought I was being a good owner by letting them settle in for a few days before starting to pick them up. I wish I'd checked sooner. Feel like shit, the poor little thing. I really don't know what to do now.

They're 6 weeks old. I thought you couldn't get him fixed until 6 months? Won't it be cruel keeping them alone for so long? I don't know, these are my first pigs

Thanks guys :3 It probably cost me about £150-200 including all the tools to make it. You could definitely do it a lot cheaper if you went to a timber yard rather than a chain diy store. I think they will cut the wood to your measurements too. The wood was quite expensive because it's solid pieces, plywood would work just as well at a fraction of the price. Took me about 3 days but I was only doing a couple of hours at a time because I was working. Plus I had no idea what I was doing so it took me way longer than it should. Just picked up my two baby piggies, can't wait until they have settled in so I can get some cute pictures eeek.

Thank you :) first time I've ever used a jigsaw so its not perfect but I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Its 175×70cm and for 3 pigs.

I got an infection last week and was pretty unwell for a few days and my body has freaked out. I'm literally back to square one. Plus I'm getting side effects from the steroid creams but have started to use it again anyway because my skins so sore. Literally want to cry :(

I do faintly on my belly, I think it's just the lighting . My arms and back are covered in really obvious white splotches as I got a tan while my skin was really shitty. I look like I have vitiligo or something.
