On the first of October this year, I moved my Abyssinian cross male guinea pig, Tyler in with my female Abyssinian guinea pig, Sunflower. I kept him in for about a month ( I took him out and moved him back in his old cage two days ago now) and am pretty sure we have some babies on the way...
I only feed my rabbits and guinea pigs once a day, and they also get super excited and act ' starving' when I feed them each morning. It's just normal, they just get super excited! :)
As long as their not loosing any weight or anything, they're not actually starving.
Just keep trying, as @michaelsforgardens said :D I'm sure they'll be the best of friends soon! Give the male a bit more time- bucks can be pretty stubborn! ( mine sure is!)
One method that might help is to just keep them in separate pens/cages close to one another. They cant have any physical...
hey! My buns love to naw on sticks as well as pieces of cardboard. It helps keep their teeth short and healthy, and they don't even eat the cardboard. after chewing, they spit it out.
Carrots are good treats to keep their teeth down as well.
I would recommend untreated wood- so that they don't...
I don't wash my hands after handling or feeding them, I only wash them after cleaning out their homes. The only other times I wash my hands after handling rabbits or guinea pigs is if one of them is on quarantine, and when Ive held someone else pet to prevent sharing germs.
:lol: :bunnyhop:
Thanks so much for all the advice and tips!
@Ghost, the reason I am breeding is just for fun, as well as where I live there isn't a lot of guinea pigs around at the moment, and theres a bit of a demand for them. I thought it would be a cool project to start, as well as I love the animals and...
Thanks so much, all your advice was amazing! I'll keep it all in mind:)
I haven't been able to find a female in my area at the moment, so I have started anything. I'll make sure to keep you updated! :D
Hey y'all!
So I am going to be starting up a guinea pig breeding project soon- I just posted a whole post with details and plans!
But I am not too educated in breeding and raising pups and such. When I was young I had a female piggy and she had pups once, but it was a long time ago and more of...
Hey everyone!
So some cool news is....I am going to start a guinea pig breeding project!!! :D
We've had our two male guinea pigs ( Tyler and Josh) for about a year now. They used to belong to my younger sisters, but they soon lost interest, and passed them on to me. I've had a lot of fun...
Congrats on getting your first rabbit! I'm sure you'll enjoy him :)
In my opinion he appears to be a Netherland dwarf or Netherland dwarf cross breed. He's very cute though, and quite the handsome lil' dude.
what's his name?
I may be young still....but I really enjoy to crochet!
I learned it sometime in 2017. Me and my younger sister started going to lessons together. A family friend is teaching us so that's really fun:)
Now that I've been crocheting for about a year and a half, almost two years, I've made a...
