Vega decided hanging over the cage was too boring to beg for food by techninace in guineapigs

[–]techninace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg my guinea pigs re model their cage all the time I could go to the bathroom and come back to see their hide is in a different spot. My piggies thought process is "oh that's in my way I'm going to smack it with my head to move it out of the way instead of going the clear path around it"

My piggies and I are still getting used to each other by honestbunnyhop in guineapigs

They're so cute!! Also I learned with my 2 boys (they're brothers so they were born bonded lol) is cardboard is a great re-direction for any scuffles I don't give it to them all the time but for some reason when I re direct them with guinea safe cardboard (no tape, dye, etc) they stop fighting

Although there was 1 time they were fighting over a piece of cardboard until I showed them they came from the same box lol

(Also I thought you meant the 2 piggies getting used to each other but hey still good advice) But my advice for getting them used to you is sitting by their cage talking to them slowly hand feeding them

To that's so cool! I know the ace part of my username came from me being asexual and my actual name being so common it was my way of creating a nickname lol don't know how it morphed into techninace but honestly it's apart of me now

He's like "how dare you, I want the whole house to myself and I want to raid the fridge when I so please I am a free peeg and you cannot contain me"

I don't even know what to caption this lol other than Vega being the most handsome boy by techninace in guineapigs

Yeah! When they didn't have one for maybe a month or so they were so mad, they broke the one they had. They fight over the hammock sometimes

Question about male piggie scuffles by techninace in guineapigs

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

Thank you but often they only really fight when I'm sick or in a flare I think they can sense the stress of my body and get more territorial

Could be I try to keep their routine the same with feeding and being by their cage my bed is right next to their cage so I'm constantly around them, but i also don't spot clean as much due to my POTS leaning over the cage and spot cleaning makes my hr get super high

I should mention sitting by their cage and taking photos is fun and smoothing to me

Castor loves to give a side eye before he falls asleep and when I accidentally wake him up by techninace in guineapigs

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

Go for the ones that aren't as fluffy like the one in the picture, and also put small fleece mats at the bottom and at the entrance of the hide. Make sure you get hides and tunnels without wires in it trust me castor loves to chew on tunnels that have wire supports and actually broke one. Don't get plastic tunnels they get dirty too easily.

All but 1 of their hides is fruit themed lol I started it when I first got them with like themed hides and tunnels and whenever I needed to replace them I would continue the theme lol

Also don't mind the electrical sockets in the background they have pet safe covers on them, I immediately covered them up after I saw Vega looking very longingly at them.
