The Crazy Pet Channel: Guinea Pigs

Hi readers, Bramble has had a few problems recently that I wanted to share with you. So a few months ago (Ok so not that recent. To be precise it was in June) I noticed she had a lump but didn't take her to the vet as it was very small. Fast forward a month and it was substantially larger (around the size of a grape and a half) so I took her to the vets and she (the vet not bramble) said it was a benign cyst and due to the risk of the anesthetic it wasn't worth the risk of operating. The vet said to weigh her wheekly to make sure she isn't drastically loosing weight (I haven't actually weighed her! Oooops! But I have no scales...hmm should probably buy some. Ok going off track here!) and make sure she is eating enough. A few weeks later...... We took Bramby to a diffrent vet, on the advice of the guinea pig magazine experts, and they said it's a tumor and it would be better to remove it sooner rather than later. We decided it would be better to get it removed, ...

HI!!!!! Here is Patches updated profile. Patches NAME: Patches                                                Age: 2 and half (ish) Breed: Sheba mini yak type thing Colour: Tortoiseshell and white Favorite food: Lettuce Least Favorite food: Courgette Patches was my first guinea pig. Her personality is crazy and she is very bossy towards Bramble (her cage mate). When I got her she was only 10 wheeks old and was SUPER fluffy. She is always hungry and loves being out on the grass when possible. FUN FACT When I was going to get a guinea pig I thought I wanted a boy, but when I went in to Pets At Home a week before I was going to get one, I got to hold Patches and knew she was the one I wanted. Unfortunately I couldn't reserve her, but luckily no one else had bought her when I went in to get my guinea pig. Also, when I got her, I called her Patch but then ...

Hi readers! Here is the Boris update for June! And I have included some photos of a few of the other animals at the farm. Boris This photo is from a few weeks ago when I held him. Boris is doing well and is getting better at being held and picked up. As I only see him once a week it is always a highlight! As you can see I gave him fresh food as it had been raining and all of his food had got very wet (his nuggets looked disgusting!) Chickens and ducklings Also, last week I held a a chicken and a duckling. The chicken was about the same size as a small rabbit and the duckling was a runner duck. The duckling was soooo fluffy and lives with 2 other ducklings. The chicken was really small and very easy to pick up. It lives with a few other chickens. In the pen behind where the red bowl is there is a quail that we raised from an egg last year. One of the dogs?! The lady who owns the farm has three dogs: Alfie (Jack Russel Terrier. Age 10), Bella (Retired racing Greyh...

Hi readers! I have not got another guinea pig but Boris is a guinea pig I help take care of once a wheek. Name: Boris Age: Around 2 years Breed: Abyssinian mix. Personality: Shy Colour: Tortoiseshell and white Likes: Freshly picked grass and watching the ducks Dislikes: Being handled and having his claws trimmed I go to a farm once a wheek and recently they moved Boris from their other site to the site I go to. He is a Pets At Home adoption centre guinea pig so he is a rescue guinea pig. He is very cute but quite shy and doesn't like to be handled so he needs taming just like I did with Maisie. Just like Patches he likes to have everything on his terms and will squeal if he doesn't like what you are doing. Like most guinea pigs he likes to eat what he shouldn't (like leaves off the trees!)! He does live on his own but just like Maisie he is fine with it and he can watch the other animals (ducks, chickens and humans!). Yesterday I took a bag of Homemade...

Hi readers, Just thought I'd tell you I'm going to the national pet show in London on Saturday the 6th of May ( less than 2 wheeks to go!!!). Who else from Guinea Pig YouTube channels is going? From what I've seen from past pet show vlogs here are a few people: Laura  From PiggiePigPigs (She brings some of the guinea pigs to say hi! I am definitely buying something for the squeekies!) Guinea Pig Wheekly   UK (They were at the Birmingham one in November with their stall with lots of amazing guinea pig designs. I wasn't there sadly but it looked AMAZING!) The small pet shop She vlogs it! LooBoos Shed Zoo  Wheek Wheek! She also vlogs it. Furry Friends  Vlogged it last year. I don't know whether any of these people will be there this year but just to give you an idea! Book Worm :)

Hi readers! So this morning I noticed Patches had white spots on her ears (it's useful having a guinea pig with black ears!). So I booked her a vet appointment. It turns out she has a bit of a fungal infection so they gave us some stuff (forgotten what it is called!) to put on her ears twice a day. she has to be isolated for a wheek(!) so the others don't catch it. She was very well behaved at the vets (surprisingly!). Also they weighed her and she is 950 grams. This photo is her white spots on ear so you know what to look for on your guinea pigs. Happy for veggies! CUTIE!!!! On the way to the vets. I will keep you updated if I can! Book Worm :)
