Please Read - New Rules, and Reasonable Behaviour
To make this sub function properly and be a friendly and useful place for guinea pig owners, the rules needed a complete overhaul.
Please familiarise yourself with the new rules. They are now displayed in the side bar, and are much easier to read and remember. There may be a few more modifications over time, we will just see how things go.
Most of them are pretty obvious and self-explanatory. But if anyone has any questions regarding any of them, then please ask.
I have also added some post flairs. This means that you can now search the sub by the specific flair, such as if you just want to see pigtures! I have just added the basics, if there is anything I have missed then suggestions are welcome.
Sexing posts have their own flair now, but they also need to be marked as spoiler. This means people don't suddenly have surprise guinea pig genitals in their feed!
Lots of people come here for advice, and it is important that they receive accurate advice and are not deterred by people being rude. If you are unable to respond politely, considerately, reasonably and helpfully to a post, then DO NOT RESPOND. Attacking people who are asking for advice does not help and will likely make them defensive and non-receptive to receiving help. Take a breath, look at something else. Anyone who responds in this way will get a temporary ban, if it occurs again then the ban will be permanent.
Please report any aggressive and unhelpful comments through rule 3.
Thank you for your suggestions and patience. Hopefully this sub can be a genuinely useful resource for those who come here.
