Hello.. I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to the forum. I just "rescued" a guinea pig today, and we are calling him Jigsaw. I also own other pets, which I will talk about later. But for now, I thought this forum would be a great place to come for helpful information. I did have guinea pigs years ago when I was a child. I am now 44, and still enjoy caring for my pets very much. I will do my best at posting a picture of Jigsaw, hes a handsome boy and I was told that he is about a year and a half old. The poor thing was living in an outside hutch since early this summer.. their young son lost interest. An email and a short trip.. Jigsaw is now home. Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to all the forum has to offer!

Heres a quick picture of Jigsaw.. I believe he falls under the tri-color category being dark brown, caramel, and white. (I was doing some reading about the different breeds, colors, etc.. didnt realize there were so many) But I think hes adorable, regardless. He seems to be settling nicely. He loves to be pet, and greets us with the popcorn jig. I plan on buying him a bigger cage, but for now this is the one he came with.. even though they were keeping him in an outdoor hutch for whatever reason. I actually need to pick him up and take a peek to see if he is truly a "he". Do males tend to be larger than females? I would say "he" is on the smaller side. He may be a she. lol

Sows and boars vary in size depending on breed. I would definately check hes a he!! Lol. Sent from my GT-I9000 using proboards

jordanthompson: hey I was wondering, can you use locker shelves like for school to build a loft in a cage instead of c&c grids? I have a few on hand and thought i'd ask. Jan 28, 2017 23:58:16 GMT

tatyana0404:
Hello, I want to buy cream selfs of super quality boy and girl. Tell me who has it? Mar 15, 2017 18:00:17 GMT

guinaaa: I need some desperate help! My guinea pig just fell like a foot off the ground into a trash can, he was wriggling because I was trying to dry him because he got wet. I think he broke a foot, because he is limping awkwardly and is moving but resting for now Apr 23, 2017 9:06:06 GMT

guinaaa: Please respond ASAP Im really scared because this has never happened before... Apr 23, 2017 9:06:33 GMT

julzgirl1028: My guinea pig just died... She was perfectly fine last ngiht. I fed her a few baby carrots and some cut up celery. I woke up and pet her, but she didn't move. So I stayed with her all day until she died in my arms... What could've happened to her? :'(

julzgirl1028: How often should I feed my guinea pigs carrots? :-X

caveycarer: Found my 20mth female pig collapsed in her run; no signs of illness prior. Picked her up and she was limp and hardly breathing. She then strained and passed what looked like a small blob of rubbery gelatine from bottom, then died. Any ideas what this was? May 11, 2017 21:02:52 GMT *

petlover: my guinea pig chipped his tooth half way so now it is stuck in the back of his mouth, he could only eat it if his food is bite size, he can't eat his pellets. What should i do? Jun 23, 2017 4:31:34 GMT

petlover: julzgirl, celery is stringy. You should'nt give it to your guinea pig very often Jun 23, 2017 4:33:32 GMT

piggilicious: Caveycarer, this sounds to be a discharge put out that lets out all of the toxins either before or after the pig dies

erniej: Thank you! Jul 31, 2017 20:21:57 GMT

texelpiggy66: So sorry for your loss. perhaps she had an infection in her uterus or cancer. it would have been quick. I have had many rescue piggies with problems. Even megacolon! Jun 10, 2018 4:49:48 GMT

sweetpatch: Hello??? I need help. Aug 12, 2018 20:31:12 GMT

stacyb1970: Hello, I have 2 7day old boars. Today one smells very strongly of pee around his head and face. I tried a warm washcloth but he reeks. Do pigs pee on each other? Thank you Oct 21, 2018 23:11:22 GMT *

kat trogdon: Does anyone get on here anymore? I haven't seen any new posts at all. Dec 20, 2018 4:35:06 GMT

sophiathepig: Im new here, how do I create a discussion? Aug 4, 2019 21:26:32 GMT

aridicus: stacyb1970 Young pigs that smell like urine, are usually sprayed by mom or another sow in heat. They think someone is trying to mount them and spray. Young boars can also spray behind them, similar to a sow, but usually when a little older. Jan 10, 2020 11:36:58 GMT

pepperthepiggie: Hi! Jan 18, 2020 23:29:17 GMT

milliesalad: I have a male guinea-pig who is sitting in his own pee. I took him to the vet in case he had a urine infection. There was a very slight infection so the vet gave him antibiotics but he still has the same problem. Any other thoughts. Aug 9, 2021 19:25:58 GMT

pokeoiz: help! my guinea pig seems very ill, shes about 2 and a half years old, whenever she breathes her nose seems blocked, apart from that shes eating fine and drinking fine, any idea what this could be? :'(
