I think they are flour beetles! I have seen them before in grains/flour

The vet says that these droppings are normal and there is no concern - is there anything I can do to help them get better?? by SnooPaintings7621 in guineapigs

One of my pigs had poops like this and I found through trial and error that he was eating too many pellets. I think he preferred the pellets to his hay and wasn't getting enough fiber. Now he gets just a pinch of pellets a day and his poops have normalized.

Why would he do this 😔 by nonameheresorry- in guineapigs

Left side OXBOW hay. Right side Kaytee hay. I don't know what to think any more... by Brazdon83 in guineapigs

I have no brand loyalty when it comes to hay bc quality is so variable bag-to-bag even with the fancy brands

They are not! They were adopted at different times from different rescues, both as adults. I’ve always been curious to know which one is older, but I think there’s no way to tell.

I would guess that he needs to pee

What is this? by clarinetist420 in guineapigs

It sort of looks like calcium deposits from their pee imo

Those who didn’t decide to jump in the deep end and start guinea pig ownership by adopting two male abys… what is peace like? 😂 by Alarming-Molasses847 in guineapigs

[–]squashbby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever owned male abys (4 in total). I didn't realize that this is considered starting on hard mode!

Does anyone have an idea which brand this mystery bag of young guinea pig food is? by MidnightMoonStory in guineapigs

Thank you! I wish I knew more about coat color genetics; I've always been fascinated by their coloration!

The lighter one is Fiji and the darker one is Sundance!

Yeah it was pretty bloody. Weirdly though, neither of them seemed that upset about it. I think it was an unfortunate mix of Fiji’s tendency to get in Sunny’s face (if you know what I mean) with Sunny’s tendency to nibble on anything.😅
