I'm not as experienced clipping nails of a bun but I've had guinea pigs for 5yrs. I have several dark nailed piggies that I cannot see the quick as easily as the lighter nailed piggies. I try not to trim them too far down but I almost always get at least one nail. Don't be afraid if they...

No problem! Thanks for the compliments. Except for his growling when I get into his cage, Buddy (used to be Cookie) is doing great! We pretty much leave him out like this all the time. He seems to enjoy it better.

Hi & welcome to RO! I wanted to also let you know that nicole is right about guinea pigs and rabbits living together. It's a myth that they should. I have in my house 13 guinea pigs, a dog, a hamster, a rabbit and 3 kids. The dog has free range of the house while the guinea pigs live in a...

I was going to try to help her out but after discussing it w/ the forum, I decided I need to wait before taking on a 2nd bun. I have not heard anything from jasugar since the first day she posted about Winifred.

Thanks to all of you that responded. As much as I'd like to help jasugar out, I think I'll wait. It's not so much that I can't handle Buddy but more so that I want him to get more comfortable w/ us and his surroundings. Plus I need to replenish the vet bill fund account. After having him...

I have fleece on one level and a cat bed on the other as well as a piece of carpeting.

Happy Birthday and congrats on the new bun & that everything's fine w/ your Starlight!

I have a few more questions. Is it hard to get both buns to go potty in one or do you need potties for each bun? Buddy's potty trained but I'm not sure if Winifred is. If bonding doesn't work now, could it work in the future when Buddy's older. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

shave (like shave your legs cause you're wearing a skirt) :)

Hi and welcome! I'm pretty new to buns as well. I have one boy right now. I think all of your buns are so adorable!!

More questions about getting Buddy a buddy! I'm sure you all have seen that jasugar is needing to rehome her bunny. She's close to where I live and I'm debating on taking Winifred in to be a friend for Buddy. Of course, my biggest obstacle is my hubby. We took in Buddy about 2mons ago and as...

jasugar, I just sent ya a PM.

Nice setup! I'm like akane w/ my guinea pig cages. I've had so many guinea pigs in & out of here in the last 5 years that I've upgraded and then had to downsize and then upgrade. I think I'm on my 12th different cage for the piggies. I'm itching to do something w/ Buddy's cage but I'll wait...

He's such a little poophead but I just love him to death! :biggrin: He still charges & growlsme when I'm in his cage but I just tell him no and continue to clean his space. He seems to enjoy the extra room when I have the pen opened up. He likes to rearrange the area to his liking. Here's a few...

Does anyone recommend either of these: Purina or Nutrena rabbit food? Where I get my guinea pig pellets and dog food sells these two types of rabbit pellets in bulk. I didn't know if anyone thought either of these would be good for Buddy. Thanks!

Nice cage. For traction on Buddy's 'step' to his 2nd level, I bought those sticky things you can put in a bathtub to prevent from falling. It seems to help. I also found a piece of carpeting at my local dollar store that's pretty thick that I lay in there as well.

Are you talking about the black edges? If so, it's the bottom half of a Lowe's shelving unit. Here's a picture of the entire unit. Buddy lives in the bottom two levels.

If you spell it, they will come!

I have alot of animals in my home and I'm always trying to make sure that it doesn't smell like I have alot of animals. :) I have our 11 guinea pigs down in the basement area and I run a dehumidifier that seems to help keep that area from smelling too badly. The dog has free range of the...
