| An idea for an inexpensive guinea pig carrier... | | Today I made a carrier for my pet Guinea Pig using a few things I had lying around. I took a small cardboard box (Guinea Pig-sized), and lined it with a heavy-duty plastic material I had left over (be sure it isn't something that could cause suffocation). I also covered the outside of the box with the material, just to be on the safe side. I put bedding in the bottom of the box. Then, I slipped the box into a messenger-style bag that I could carry when traveling with my Guinea Pig. The bag I used even has compartments for carrying food, water, and other essentials along. It was cheaper, more user-friendly, and more fun than any of the carriers I found in the store...and my pet loves it! | |
| | Do you have a guinea pig..here some tips how to take care of him! | | Rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters are grazing animals are need similar food. One of the most important elements of feeding them all is water. All these animals often get a large portion of their water from fruits and vegetables, but should always have fresh water available. Water bottles are easily emptied by leaking out and if left standing can become contaminated. You should change water for your small pets daily. Preparing and feeding hay: Hay is a foundation of rabbit and guinea pig diets. They should have a fresh supply of hay every day to keep their digestive system regular. Both
animals are natural grazers and should be allowed to eat as much as they like. If possible,
feed Timothy hay, although any grass hay will do. Hay that is from legumes, like alfalfa can be fed, but are high in calcium which can cause bladder stones and so should be fed in moderation. Prepare fresh hay. Purchase from a feed store or a farmer. Hay in grocery stores and pet stores may sit for months before purchase. Always check you hay before feeding it to your pet.Preparing Pellets: Pellets should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place. Feed only high... | |

| | Guinea pig hair loss.... | | My guinea pig is losing hair! When I pet him, alot of hair ends up in my hand, and I mean ALOT! This is not normal. His diet has not changed, he eats just as much as he always has...I don't understand why he's losing his hair so rapidly. I brush him about every other day. I'm concerned. Has anyone had this problem with their piggy & if so what did you find the problem to be, how did you solve it? | |

| Would you be willing to be a medical guinea pig to make extra cash? | | I've been trying to find every way possible to make some money from home while I look after my daughter all day. One of the most interesting ways I've come across is being part of a medical research study without ever leaving the house. There's plenty of risks involved, among them: putting my health on the line and having to send them an initial deposit to get started. Would you be willing to submit your body for medical experimentation to bring in an extra buck? | |
