About this Blog

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! I (Diana) made this blog to help educate people about guinea pigs and to help anyone with any guinea pig related questions they might have. Since getting my piggies I've realized that very few people actually know how to properly care for a piggy! I adore animals and I want all animals to have the happiest and healthiest lives possible. I also use it to post adorable pictures and videos of my own piggies. Sometimes I'll reblog pictures of other piggies too! Now, my friend Taylor also helps me with this blog as well! I hope you enjoy!

About Diana

Hello, my name is Diana. I was born September 8th 1994. I live in New York. I have four guinea pigs. I love my fluffy baby girls so much. Besides guinea pigs, I also love working with computers (graphic design and coding), playing video games, reading, writing, learning, science, drawing, riding horses, cooking, and racing ATVs. I have an amazing boyfriend who is the best daddy to our guinea pigs.

How I (Diana) became a "Guinea Pig Mommy"

I've always wanted a guinea pig. A few years ago I met my best friend Nick. He has had over 20 piggies since he was young! He managed to help me convince my mom to get one. At the pet store I picked up two piggies and just couldn't decide who I wanted. I fell in love with both right away. My mother agreed to let me get both. Those piggies were River and Inara. My little sister asked for two also. After much debate my mother gave in. That's how Snow White and Annabella came to be. My sister had them for a few months and then could no longer take care of them. I happily took them in. Now here we are today. If you would like to talk or have any questions (guinea pig related or not) don't hesitate to send me a message! :)

Diana's Piggy Knowledge
Ever since I first got my piggies I spent countless hours getting to know more and more about guinea pigs. I've learned a lot over the years and I want to pass my wisdom on. I'm not an expert. I never took any classes on this or anything. All my knowledge is from first hand experience that I've picked up over the years and all the research I've done using credible sources. I do have a few friends who have gone to college to work with animals. They are experts and have degrees in fields relating to this. I run everything I hear/read by them before I post anything here.


About Diana's Piggies
written by the piggies

Hello. We're Inara Leeloo, River Daisy, Annabella Dolly, and Snow White Ily. We we born in June of 2011. Our Mommy, Diana, got us from the pet store called Petsmart in August of 2011. We live in America in a state called New York. We sleep in a big and beautiful C&C cage. We like to eat and sleep a lot. We also love to play. Our favorite toys are tunnels, cardboard boxes, fleece forests/corner caves, balls, paper bags, and fleece blankets.


How I made my cage liners.  

I was looking through pictures on my computer and and I was like “Why are these random pieces of fabric here?” Than I realized I was supposed to show you guys how I made them. I got all my fleece on sale so I have no clue how much this would cost. :/ 

So, it’s made up of three (sort of 4, actually) layers.

 

The bottom layer (white fabric) is usually used as a crib liner for babies. It’s got rubber in the middle (although you could never tell) which makes it waterproof. The actual material just feels like really stiff cotton. The middle layer (yellow) is pretty much a towel. I got it at the fabric store so I could use one big piece instead of a lot of little towels. The top layer is fleece. I’ve doubled it up so it’s extra soft for my piggies. Originally I sewed all the layers together. It was SO heavy though. It was even worse when I had to take it wet from the washing machine to the dryer. So Now I just lay them one on top of the other. I just tuck the fleece over the other fabrics so the piggies don’t get under them. Cutting them to the shape of my cage wasn’t hard either. Oh, you’d have to put foam mats or coroplast under them. This isn’t enough to hold up your piggies or protect their little feet from the bars of the cage. 

Uhm. I guess that’s it. Yay! 

Here’s a picture of their cage. (My little sister took it yesterday.) 

Right now I’m using foam mats. I’m getting my coroplast Wednesday. I’m so excited! :D
