    my guinea pig is 3 or 4 can i mate her.

    Jamaica sounds like a good place to have guinea pigs outside, but especially if breeding, the midday temperature of the pen should be kept a bit lower than the daily high temperature that I'm seeing here: http://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/jamaica. I can see that yours is under a porch and...

    my guinea pig is 3 or 4 can i mate her.

    hm interesting. I have no idea what the outcome of that feeding regimen is. She's a really pretty girl (saw the pic).

    my guinea pig is 3 or 4 can i mate her.

    There isn't a way to get experience with breeding guinea pigs aside from learning what you can and jumping in, especially with how bad the internet is right now with the unwarranted hatred of breeders and the efforts of various internet forms to demonize and ban discussion of breeding. The...

    my guinea pig is 3 or 4 can i mate her.

    Hi, word from a small-scale, professional guinea pig breeder - That 8-month thing is only related to first litters. It just means that it is generally treated as unsafe to allow a guinea pig's first litter of her breeding career to be born at a date where she is 8 months of age or older. The...

    Guinea pigs

    Hehe funny story Btw the supposed fact stated everywhere about them being "herd" animals is not good information. Cavy Porcellus naturally forms small harems with one male and several females, or in lower population situations, it is more like families. There are agenda-related reasons for why...

    Worst possible diagnosis... Cancer

    If it helps, remind him that one of them has to go first - him or the dog. It's better for the dog when the dog is the one to go first as opposed with the owner. Also, in terms of the dog's welfare, depending on the situation - perhaps there is no sensible reason for the owner to be present for...

    Is it okay for my dogs to ingest chicken poop?

    Do not let your dog eat that. http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/digestive/c_dg_salmonellosis https://www.cdc.gov/features/salmonellapoultry/index.html

    Baby squirrel

    When you do release him, it could be best to make a point to do this as far away from people and houses etc. as you can manage. It is possible that his exposure to humans (and their scent) will mean that he fears humans less than a normal wild squirrel would. One manifestation of this situation...

    Need some help with my dog.

    Not all dogs respond to past abuse with the long-term behavior you're describing. It seems possible/likely that your dog has a "soft" personality. It's also called "weak nerves". It's a born personality characteristic, not created. Abusing a dog with weak nerves would certainly mess it up...

    What is going on with my Cat’s eye?

    The regular eyedrops in the individual vials have worked well for my animals. Colloidal silver may be pseudoscience though :/ https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Colloidal_silver . Have not touched that.

    Syba's Story [Do Not Give Up Unless They Have Given Up!]

    There is something that should be highlighted from this story. Not all vets are equal. I've seen veterinary practices that range from incompetent to bleeding-edge. The ideal time to find that great vet is before shit hits the fan, not during, although finding it during is better than not finding...

    farm guinea pigs (meat cavy!)

    Depending upon if the person is willing to spend the time/effort, and assuming the environment itself is essentially okay: If a runt is born into a large litter (4 being large) and the runt is developmentally far enough along that it's not ridiculous, and it's having trouble, it's frequently...

    farm guinea pigs (meat cavy!)

    I found a blog written by an English-speaking person who visited Peru and took a picture of a large pen of cuy being maintained outside. It looks like the animals are being maintained up against the side of a house, under a roof, with walls left and right that would protect them from the wind...
