Any rabbit people out there? I know this is a guinea pig blog, but I know someone with a rabbit and it needs help right away.

Spurs.

My guinea pig, Inara, had something weird on her feet. I panicked and took her to the vet right away. It turned out to only be spurs. Everything I’m about to tell you was information told to me by my vet. What are they? Spurs are made out of the same sort of tissue that calluses are made out of. They’re just extra pieces of skin. They never stop growing and therefore can’t...

Inara

I just realized I never actually wrote what happened with Inara. I made a video but I promised to write something to in case people didn’t watch the video. Long story short, everyone who wrote to me was correct. It was spurs. The vet said since none of the other pigs had it that it probably just happened to Inara for no reason. Inara is fine. :) Spurs grow like toenails so the vet will...

In Memory of Tiana

Tiana, you were are such a smart little hamster. You even came when we called your name. I loved the cute little quirks you had. Like how you’d only run on your wheel and not in it. I loved how when I came home from being away at school you would come running out of your little igloo. My sister, your mommy, definitely loved you a lot. She loved how you’d walk all over her and never...

More updates.

Thank you! That’s what Kieri said too. You guys are definitely helping me calm down. I just got a text from my mom saying that she’s going to pick me and Inara up and take us to the vet at 3:30.

Update on my last post. Kieri thinks it’s spurs. I called my mom and she said she’s going to call the vet.

I'm terrified. I'm hysterical crying. Someone help...

Inara’s nails grow faster than my other pigs’ nails. So rather than make a special trip to the vet for her I just do hers an extra time by myself sometimes. I was getting ready to trim them and I noticed these weird things on her feet. I haven’t noticed them on my other pigs. The only foot related piggy sickness I know about is bumblefoot. I have them in a flat-bottom cage,...

On the way in the door:

Mom: Hi! How was your day? Me: Hello, human. Guinea pigs: Wheek! Me: OMG! My babies! Hello! I missed you! I love you so much, my little wheekers! Let’s snuggle!

I'd just like to put something into perspective...

You see that green thing with all the pigs’ veggies in it? You might notice that it doesn’t totally look like a food dish. Well, you’re right! Would you like to know what it was originally? It is the base to a guinea pig cage sold at a pet store. When I got my guinea pigs this was actually the cage they recommended. (I didn’t get it, obviously. I ended up getting it...

I have 99 followers!

Wow! I just noticed! Thanks, guys! If I had a contest (for followers only) how many of you would enter? I’m not sure what the prizes would be but they’d be something for a guinea pig. I’ll let you guys help work out the details if enough people say they’ll enter!

Pet beds.

Can anyone recommend good quality but still fairly cheap pet beds that will clean up easy and be good for guinea pigs? I have four pigs, if that makes a difference. I want ones that will last a while and clean up nicely. Like, they’ll obviously pee/poop in/on them and I’m going to have to wash them. Do you think I’ll have to use a washing machine or could I wash them by hand?
