Hi , we took my guinea pig dumbo to the vet because he was very weak and thin and cold and his fur went all weird. The vet said it was scurvy and gave him an injection that he said contained vitamin c, and we went straight to the shop and bought all the veggies he recommended. But he seems to be...

I've now had 8 guinea pigs in my life, and 6 of them have died of cancer.
My last guinea pig had a mass in his bowl and had to be put to sleep.

I have an almost 6 month old male guinea pig whose cagemate got killed by a dog. My cousins guinea pigs have just had a ton of babies, so I'm going to pick out a male. He won't be weaned and able to leave his mother for another month, since now he's only two weeks old. How do I keep my current...

I am watching my friend's guinea pig for a week while shes out of town. We know she's pregnant because she has gotten very fat, and has built a nest. We have felt a baby move. We don't know when she got pregnant because she was just bought from the pet store, and according to them, she has been...
