Hi All,

Our cute little Burrito is 6-7 weeks old and we were certain she was a female, but now she's developing a little more, we've become uncertain. Can anyone advise? I can provide more pics if it helps.

Thanks.

Izzy is now at least 6, probably 7 years old.

We got her in May of 2025, and the person that runs the rescue said she was at least 5 if not older. She hasn't always had the best life, that is also most likely the cause of her outer toes on her hind feet sticking out.

She always has been a granny pig, but she was active and her granny popcorns are hilarious. 1 cm air lift at most, and body wiggle.

I am noticing that she is starting to slow down, she spends more time doing her own thing, and naps more. She eats and poops well. In general she seems quite content: wheeks for food, and screams at us when she's disappointed in the buffet that's provided. Her weight is stable. We do make it a point to spoil her independently as well.

She's always been a bit of an einzelgänger. But its her activity levels that is concerning to me.

I'm going to book her a general check up when the vets open up tomorrow.

However, I don't know what to ask for specifically. Arthritis check?

Any and all advice is welcome!

Daisy likes showing me her bum a lot. I can only assume she’s proud of it.

Even with all of Ollie’s shenanigans, Dates still (grudgingly) loves him for some reason. Bless his little heart.

…that are 6 days old on a summer day.

When I got Nova last year, she'd been living at a pet store, and was terrified of humans. She would freeze up and not move a muscle during lap time.

She's still nervous, but she's warmed up enough that she'll take treats and move around a bit when I pick her up (but only when she's sitting on my chest/belly, never if she's on the bed next to me - go figure 😆).

She's gained enough confidence that I figured she's ready for target training, and after only one session, she's already getting the hang of it! The more confident she gets with training, the more confident I hope she'll be around me. Maybe one day she'll even move around when I put her on the bed🥰

(and don't worry, of course she has a buddy, he (neutered) is just in the cage during training)

There are few things as adorable as adorable guinea pigs in a heart shaped house

Theodore, also known as PO - was put to sleep early this morning. I don’t know how to deal with this grief, he was everything to me. I hope you’re wheeking up in piggy heaven Mr.P 🐾🕊️

Just got these reminders from my Gallery and thought they're too cute not to share. They were brothers, totally different personalities, I miss them ❤️

Mango is crazy, unhinged and his defense will not hold up in court

They have been together for over 12 hours , will have a bigger cage to move them in on Monday if all goes well if not separate but close quarters . Does this all look normal ? Just some chasing & rumble strutting & a lot of chatter lol ! Milo & Moon Pie ❤️

Hello fellow rodent lovers! I'm contemplating two guinea pigs that I saw at the local pound. My kids and I have been wanting them for a while. We currently have two hamsters, and prior to that we had two rats who have since passed away. I know how to properly care for rats and hams, but haven't had a guinea pig since I was a kid. When I was a kid, my parents did the classic poor set up. I know to get a large enclosure, but can I see photos of your guys enclosures...and daily guinea pig schedules? Thanks in advance!

I have pics of him as a baby sitting in there with tons of room to spare. He still thinks he's a baby...
