THREE GUINEA PIGS ARE EXPENSIVE!
Additional 5% off on top of 85% on All Pet Meds - Coupon Code - CJ0905
I LOVE MY PIGGIES SO MUCH, BUT THE BEDDING I USE AND HAVING TWO CAGES IS REALLY EXPENSIVE! I DID FIND A KAYTEE BEDDING LAST WEEK AT TARGET THAT SEEMS TO BE DOING PRETTY GOOD SO FAR, THEY STILL SMELL FRESH AND LOVABLE EVEN AFTER FOUR DAYS WITH THIS BEDDING. I DID MIX IT WITH THE KAYTEE LAVENDAR AND IT SMELLS NICE!

PETCO RECYCLED PAPER BEDDING!!
DO NOT BUY THIS!!! I USUALLY USE CAREFRESH ULTRA FOR MY PIGGIES TO KEEP THEM SMELLING FRESH AND SWEET. SO I CAN PICK THEM UP AND LOVE THEM ALL OF THE TIME! I SAW THAT THIS WAS $3 CHEAPER. IT CLAIMS ON THE PACKAGE TO HAVE BAKING SODA AND SUPERIOR ODOR CONTROL. IT DOES NOT!!!!! I FRESHEN THEIR BEDDING EVERYDAY AND COMPLETELY CLEAN OUT THEIR CAGES ABOUT EVERY FIVE DAYS. WOW! TWO DAYS AFTER I PUT THIS BEDDING IN, I COULD NOT STAND THE SMELL. IT WAS HORRIBLE. I CLEANED OUT THE CAGE AGAIN. YUCK! IT WAS ALL SORT OF CLUMPED TOGETHER AND WAS THE WORST SMELLING BEDDING I HAVE EVER USED. I WILL NEVER GO AWAY FROM CAREFRESH AGAIN. MY PIGGIES DESERVE TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! BUY CAREFRESH ULTRA BEDDING!

GIVING YOUR GUINEA PIG A BATH
Additional 5% off on top of 85% on All Pet Meds - Coupon Code - CJ0905
I NEVER THOUGHT TOO MUCH ABOUT GIVING MY PIGGIES A BATH. BUT, THEY WERE ALL SHEDDING AND I HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE. I HAD SOME JOHNSON'S BABY SHAMPOO, I WAS EVEN AFRAID TO USE THAT. I STARTED WITH BROOKE LYNN. I PUT JUST ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER IN THE BATHROOM SINK. I PLACED MY HAND UNDER HER BELLY TO HOLD HER HEAD UP OUT OF THE WATER. I USED THE OTHER HAND TO SLOWLY POUR WATER OVER HER. I PUT A TINY AMOUNT OF SHAMPOO ON HER AND LATHERED HER UP. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND IT TOO MUCH, SHE WAS SQUEAKING BUT NOT AS BAD AS WHAT I HAD THOUGHT. I RINSED HER OFF WITH CLEAN WATER. WOW, I WAS AMAZED, I DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS THAT DIRTY UNTIL I LOOKED AT THE WATER! AFTER RINSING HER OFF, I WRAPPED HER IN A BABY TOWEL. I GENTLY RUBBED HER TO DRY HER FUR. SHE SHOOK LIKE A CAT OR DOG DOES WHEN THEY ARE WET. SHE LOOKED SO FUNNY! IT WAS LIKE A PORCUPINE! I DID USE THE HAIR DRYER ON LOW FAN AND COOL TEMP TO HELP DRY HER BECAUSE SHE WAS SHAKING SO MUCH BECAUSE SHE WAS COLD. THAT DID MAKE HER HAVE REALLY FLUFFY FUR THOUGH! SHE LOOKED LIKE A PUFF BALL! I BRUSHED HER AND GAVE HER A TREAT!
NEXT, I ATTEMPTED TO GIVE CASSANDRA A BATH. SHE REALLY SEEMED TO LIKE THE WATER. I THOUGHT I WAS BEING CAREFUL, BUT I MUST HAVE GOTTEN SOME WATER IN HER LITTLE EAR. SHE KEPT FALLING OVER AND COULDN'T HOLD HER HEAD UP. I WAS REALLY SCARED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SO I GENTLY PULLED HER EAR BACK AND TOOK A COTTON SWAB AND RUBBED THE OUTSIDE OF HER EAR TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOME OF THE WATER OUT. SHE WAS ACTING BETTER, BUT, IF I RUB BEHIND HER EAR, SHE WILL STILL TIP HER HEAD SIDEWAYS FOR A WHILE. I SURE HOPE SHE IS OK.
I DIDN'T GIVE THE BABY A BATH, I WAS SCARED TO, ESPECIALLY AFTER I APPARENTLY GOT WATER IN CASSANDRA'S EAR. BUT, WITH THE BEDDING CHANGED AND THEY HAD BATHS. THEY ARE ALL CUTE, FURRY AND SMELL MUCH, MUCH BETTER!

I LOVE MY PIGGIES!
I WENT TO OUR LOCAL PETCO LAST NIGHT. I LOVE GOING TO SEE ALL OF THE NEW PETS. THEY HAD A COUPLE OF PIGGIES UP FOR ADOPTION THERE, THAT SOMEONE HAD OWNED AND FOR WHATEVER REASON COULD NOT AFFORD TO GIVE THEM THE CARE THAT THEY NEEDED. THEY ARE ALL SO CUTE! I BOUGHT SOME NEW BEDDING, IT IS THE PETCO BRAND, MADE WITH PAPER PRODUCTS AND CONTAINS BAKING SODA. I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE PAPER BEDDING THAT CONTAINS BAKING SODA. IT IS UNSURPASSED IN ODOR CONTROL. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL WORK WELL, IT IS $3 CHEAPER THAN CAREFRESH.

NOT ALL HAY IS THE SAME
GUINEA PIGS NEED TO HAVE FRESH HAY FOR THEIR DIGESTION. IT HAS IMPORTANT ENZYMES AND FIBER THAT THEY NEED!
NOT ALL HAY IS ALIKE. ALFALFA HAY CONTAINS TOO MUCH CALCIUM AND SOME VETS SAY THE IMPACT ON THE BLOOD SUGAR IS TOO STRONG.
TIMOTHY HAY IS WHAT I FEED OUR PIGGIES. IT IS THE SAFEST BET. ALTHOUGH IT ISOFTEN ECOMOMICAL TO BUY IN BULK, IF YOU STORE IT TOO LONG, IT CAN GET MOLDY.
HAVE FUN AND LOVE YOUR PIGGIES!
