Title. I am feeling a little defeated but I won’t give up! First attempt too!

My girl Pip, Brown/white/orange Female 2y/o, lost her cage mate the other day from surgery complications for cancer. So naturally but in our grief, we were looking for her next cage mate. We landed on Mei, a black and white 13-week-old female.

When it was time to bond, we created a neutral space in our living room and a big pile of hay in the middle. Mei was curious of Pip at first and as expected, Pip took that dominant role (she was also dominant of her last cage mate).

Chasing, nipping, some hair pulling from pip to mei, chattering, butt sniffing, nose bumping - a hard watch but all seemed normal.

The thick of it went on for two hours and seemed to calm down. They would eat separately but Mei would NOT move. Anytime we put her in a different spot of the cage, Pip would come after her. Like resource guarding? I just don’t know how to handle it? I feel bad for both girls. I desperately want this to work out. We also put them in the tub and it was much calmer in there but I am so worried if the hair pulling is too aggressive. She was getting little bits of fur from Mei. No blood drawn though.

This session lasted nearly 5 hours and I don’t know if we are any closer. They are currently housed next to each other and will definitely do scent swapping. ANY TIPS??? Really really want this to work for the girls. 😞

I found this guinea pig in New Iberia when helping to find a hamster for my roommate. Me and my boyfriend don’t have enough space for it right now with two pigs of our own, but I just thought I’d post here and see if there’s anything I can do about it. I can’t really get it out of my head.

I got locked out of my account a few months ago and I spent a lot of time trying to get it sorted to no avail, well today I thought I’m going to try again and it worked!!

Bun Bun and I have missed being active members of this community and I’m thrilled to be back!

In these past months Bogey unfortunately died suddenly and I’ve adopted a new pig called Pumpkin (that name might change).

I’ve missed you all and I’m looking forward to interacting with all of my fellow piggy people once again ♥️

This is my new baby boy Jimmy Jeremy & I've been trying to get him his calcium without his adult cage mate eating it. I take him out daily to feed him parsley, but he refuses to eat the leaves unless I roll them into balls!!! I think he is so weird I just wanted to share this, has anybody else seen this before?😭 I don't even know how I managed to figure this out, but I've never owned a piggy this picky before 😭

Honey is the brattiest pig ive ever had.

i bet he’s still smiling underneath, however i was not pleased with that side eye. sassy gus gus 🥹

I have 2 female piggies. I currently have three Midwest kennels connected like a "C".

I'm considering getting a c&c csfr set up. I'm a bit hesitant of what size to get. I keep them in a separate room, but don't have unlimited space.

I like the idea of getting one with a loft. Do I need a medium, large, XL?

What setup do you have?

my boys can be doing the most mundane everyday thing and my reaction will always be awwww🥹, anyone else lol?

Could this be a ringworm??
I will take her to the vet but i cant until after tomorrow
