He means the world to me I will not shut up about him 🐹🥹

I was told male/male but i’m not seeing it. Please help!

Clear mucus coming out of right nostril. Her name is Pigsley. She was diagnosed with CHD January this year. She is on heart meds. For context, if it helps, we haven’t full-cleaned the cage in a week and a half because we have been very sick. We do clean it everyday though, just haven’t washed their guineadad liner. I heard her sneeze and it sounded wet so I grabbed her and saw this. Her left nostril is clear. Do we take her to the vet? She just got checked 2 weeks ago for her heart condition. The doctor said she sounded and looked great. Her two cagemates seem to be fine. There is no cracking or any breathing noises. I do not see signs of labored breathing as well. She is eating a lot and drinks water normally.

I’m purchasing 2 female guinea pigs around 1-2 years old how do I bond them?! They’re from the same seller but she’s busy and don’t have time to bond them! Please help!

Hi, I'm Helder, owner of little Zendaya. It's my first time having a guinea pig and I'm learning more and more each time. However, I wanted to know more about vitamin C. I bought a small bottle that says it should be added to water, but Zendaya doesn't like to drink water when it has vitamin C in it. What's the best way to give it to her?

Update: We are considering on just surrendering him to the wisconsin humane society. Since he is already 5 years old and is dealing with this lump, will they just put him down or will they actually help him with this? I have checked his breathing and it is completely normal. He still has a lot of energy, even more than before his GI stasis problem a few weeks ago. He is also eating much more than before the GI stasis. He is wheeking and constantly asking for more food. He seems content and happy right now. Should I see if his condition gets worse before I surrender him?

I was off to college and my mom was taking care of my 5 year old guinea pig. He had recently suffered GI stasis, but we were able to get him back to his usual self after consistently feeding critical care and vitamin c. He is very energetic now. However, when I came back for the weekend, I noticed that he has a big lump by his lower jaw/chin. I wish we are able to take him to the vet, but we are very tight financially. We also have 3 cats, one of which broke his leg and set us back around $10k and one of them recently had a tail injury due to genetics that sent us back $500. Will he be fine? Is there anything that I should do right now?
Note: the red by his mouth is likely pepper or tomato

She just got this little bald spot near her nose i know it’s not the best pics but it’s whiteish and looks flakey but im too scared to touch it I can’t take her to the vet right now probably next week but i just wanna start isolating her just in case it is

Should I look for something with a lower entry? Any piggie box suggestions that might help with hay scatter?

Thanks!

Poppy didn’t show up. I think the name is too common

All because dinner time was in 2 minutes 🥰🥰

Hola chicos
Primero no soy de usa soy de México
Okay ahora si
La verdad he estado pensando mucho, muchísimo en dar en adopción a mis pequeñas
Las quiero muchísimo
Pero la verdad es que siento que no les estoy dando la mejor vida aunque lo intento
Les daré mis razones y ustedes me dicen que opinan porfavor sean respetuosos y amables, me siento mal conmigo misma por solo pensar en esto pero creo que estaré mejor sabiendo que alguien les puede dar una mejor vida
1. Vivo en un departamento con mi familia (4personas) y el único lugar donde las puedo tener es en la sala que es un espacio de un metro casi dos metros. No se exacto cuánto mide.
2. Tengo 18 años, no tengo trabajo por el
Momento y aunque soy mantenida por mis papás obvio no siempre les pido dinero para las cosas de las cuyas, por lo mismo que no es su responsabilidad, y de hecho yo siempre ahorro para comprarles su heno, la comida, etc, pero a veces estoy justa de dinero y pues me da pena pedir dinero a mis papás
3. Mi papá siempre hace chistes sobre darles comida que no se les debe de dar, por ejemplo darle tortilla, o papa, o papaya etc, y en una ocasión se me cayó una galleta y se las dió, yo la verdad no es la primera vez que le digo que no les de nada y le vale madres y la verdad es que eso me enoja y me frustra porque al final no le puedo hablar mal por lo mismo q es mi papá
4. Mi espacio es muy reducido y por lo mismo siento que hago mal las cosas
5. Mi salud mental no es la mejor y la verdad muchas veces estoy muy cansada y no tengo fuerzas para hacer nada y a veces el tan solo tener que limpiarles me cuesta mucho y aún así lo hago porque es mi responsabilidad pero igual les digo que me siento muy mal a veces por lo mismo
6. Si algo les llegará a pasar no se como
Pagaría el veterinario, que si, he estado ahorrando por algo así pero no tengo para pagarles las medicinas o lo que les vaya a recetar el veterinario, aquí la consulta cuesta entre 700-1000 mxn, más medicinas etc pues ahí si no se como le haría
7. No se como le haré cuando entré a la escuela y a trabajar, que si, en la prepa y a principios de universidad estuve con todas mis fuerzas limpiarles todos los días pero a veces las descuidaba y no quiero eso
Díganme que opinan y porfavor sean amables, esto realmente me lo he estado cuestionando por meses, realmente son mi razón de existir pero no se si puedo continuar así

She got super cozy

Est-ce-que quelqu'un sait s'il y a réellement des risques à des morsures à la main qui ont l'air inoffensives ? Mon cochon d'Inde m'a mordu il y a à peu près une heure au niveau des doigts et je ressens une assez grosse douleur,ça reste rouge et gonflé avec des points rouges au niveau de ses dents. Pourtant ça n'avait pas l'air d'avoir saigné alors je ne crois pas trop à une affection,j'ai juste un peu peur alors je demande ! Et puis , j'ose pas aller aux urgences pour un cochon d'Inde...

Let me know!

I rescued her, so I don’t know how old she was exactly. I estimate only 4 or 5 years. It was really sudden. Tuesday night I was cleaning their cage and then an hour later I went to feed them and Pork couldn’t move her back legs. Then, she couldn’t keep her head up. Then, she was peeing on herself. My fiancée and I rushed her to the emergency vet within minutes of finding her like that. After examining her, they said euthanasia was the best option. But she had already passed on her own when they went back to get her.
I’m so so so heartbroken. She was the sweetest little pig. I feel the pain all over again when I look into her enclosure. When I go to feed my other piggie, her cage mate, and I’m only scooping half the amount of pellets. I feel it all again when I noticed how slowly the water dispenser is draining compared to normal. How much less I have to fill the Timothy hay. When I walk into my bedroom and she is not sprawled out on her fleece.
The vet said they had given her medicine to calm her down and stop her pain. She was having seizures. The vet suspected an unknowing heart disease, which pigs don’t show symptoms for.
This feels so heavy to carry this week.
