To squee or not to squee, that is the question...

I've got guineas on the brain again, but I'm not sure if this is a long-term desire or just a short-lived phase I'm going through. I'm also on the fence about whether to renew my current apartment lease* or look for a new place, which would affect any possible pets ( Read more... )

This is such a cute guinea pig shirt, and they're two shirts away from making their goal so I thought I would pass it along http://ww2.cafepress.com/bash/368533914/

Renting! Landlords and apartment brokers!

foxgloved wrote in guinea_pigs Mar 07, 2014 19:13

I'm currently looking for an apartment in the Boston area, and my price range is on the very low end, so I am aware my options are limited. One problem I'm running into is that most of the apartments I'm interested in are listed through brokers as "no pets allowed", and I have two guinea pigs. I've never run into problems negotiating this with ( Read more... )

bumble foot... i think

So my old girl Minerva has what i assume is bumblefoot. Her front foot is swollen but doesnt seem to be hurting her and isn't weeping or anything like that. Before I have to pay another vet bill (up to a total $2000 this year) does anyone have any hints? I've been cleaning it daily with betadine. Her bedding is fleece which is changed everyday ( ( Read more... )

Today...

So I took Wilhelmina to the vets today and they did an ultrasound to discover an ovarian cyst. So $400 later, they removed 15mL of fluid (about half a fluid ounce)and gave her a hormone implant to hopefully stop/slow the re-occurrence. Back in 2 weeks for checkups but she's okay :)

Weight Gain

All of our piggies have gained weight after we got them, no doubt because we feed them properly... But the babies are packing on the grams like nobodies business. They're just three months old, and both of them have gained 40 odd grams (almost 10% of their body weight) in just the week and a half since we adopted them. We've never had babies ( Read more... )
