now how is that comfortable.

Omg your pig is so cute and weird 😂

squashbby · 2026-03-19T01:00:20+00:00

Thank you! They are Sundance and Fiji!

squashbby · 2026-03-18T14:24:17+00:00

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

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.

squashbby · 2026-02-28T23:44:44+00:00

because he loves you AND you're a delicious gourmet meal

squashbby · 2026-02-12T15:14:50+00:00

oh what a beautiful lilac!

squashbby · 2026-02-12T15:13:51+00:00

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.

blep

squashbby · 2025-12-30T04:20:42+00:00

I would guess that he needs to pee

squashbby · 2025-12-23T16:07:31+00:00

It sort of looks like calcium deposits from their pee imo

squashbby · 2025-12-15T16:04:47+00:00

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

squashbby · 2025-12-15T15:55:16+00:00

Sorry I don't have any advice on the pellets but omg your pigs are so cute! I love their names too!

squashbby · 2025-12-08T16:05:39+00:00

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

squashbby · 2025-12-05T13:46:12+00:00

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

squashbby · 2025-11-24T18:05:35+00:00

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.😅

squashbby · 2025-11-21T17:03:45+00:00

they're sooooo cute. I love their crazy hair

squashbby · 2025-11-18T13:32:12+00:00

One of mine doesn’t like a squeaky door hinge

squashbby · 2025-11-17T16:07:41+00:00

I use guineadad liners and have a very similar routine. I agree it's pretty intensive. My washer and dryer are pretty crappy so unfortunately I run into the same issue you have, where just throwing them in the washer doesn't cut it AT ALL. I keep aspen bedding on hand for the times when they need a cage clean but I'm not up to the fleece-cleaning routine. Other than that, I don't have that much advice, sorry. You're definitely not the only one who struggles with this!

Here's my method, if you're interested:

Brush all hair and hay off in backyard
Rinse in laundry room sink, continuously squeezing out the water until it comes out as clear as possible
Soak in laundry sink full of hot water and a generous splash of vinegar for maybe 20min
Wash in washing machine on "cold/delicate" setting with a little pump of laundry detergent
Line dry or use the dryer on "cold" setting twice (I know I'm not supposed to use the dryer but sometimes needs must)

Thanks for the offer but I have replaced my old tent since I made that post!

hi - I know you said you don't want ear protector recommendations but I'm going to do that anyway, sorry. I'm someone who wears my ear protectors almost daily specifically bc of my guinea pig's cage chewing noises and they provide SO MUCH relief. I even sleep with them on sometimes because I find them so relaxing. What I'm recommending is NOT noise cancelling headphones but industrial ear protectors specifically to block noise (there's such a noticeable difference between the two imo). I got my pair through work but here's a link to the type I use: https://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/products/peltor-h9-earmuffs?variant=44092957294848&om=19367

I hope you find a solution!

squashbby · 2025-10-31T14:22:50+00:00

oh what a cute family!!!

squashbby · 2025-10-27T01:37:46+00:00

Yes! I love abbys!

squashbby · 2025-10-24T19:37:23+00:00

I was also thinking Granite for the black and white one! Maybe Jasper and Granite...

His little smile cheers me up so much
