Almost cuddling cavies

Legend has it that some piggies prefer to snooze curled up next to each other. Well, not any of the Cali Cavy Collective pigs. Poof and Revy long ago enacted strict no sharing rules in their respective domains. Offenders are met with stern piggy stares and a warning flash of teeth.

Let Sleeping Pigs Lie guinea pig beds

We pigs have been thoroughly enjoying the Let Sleeping Pigs Lie beds that our humans won for us from the Bay Area Pignic. These padded beds feature sherpa fleece on one side, cotton on the other and are decorated with adorable guinea pig embroidery.

To the left is a Super Mat Bed in pink and to the right is a Puffy Bed in blue. Here is a demonstration of how we have been using our LSPL beds:

Two pigs, one pigloo

In the past, Revy had always been steadfastly adamant about not sharing her pigloo. It mattered not how roomy the pigloo was or what startling noise was occurring nearby, if there was a pigloo and she was parked in it no visitors were allowed. No "safety in numbers" huddling for this obstinate pig.

Poof's piggy yawn, on video

In this brief clip, Poof stretches out and yawns before snatching a strand of hay from Belka's mouth. After finishing her nibble she proceeds to scratch herself, then lays down for a nap in her pigloo while Belka looks about for more.

Guinea Pig Care & Health Tip: A bigger cage means a healthier pig!

The bigger your piggy's cage is, the healthier and happier he or she will be! As a general rule, pet store cages are far too small for guinea pigs. Cubes and coroplast cages, more commonly known in the guinea pig community as C&C cages, are a great and inexpensive alternative to the constrictive cages sold at pet stores. A larger cage will provide your pigs with more exercise area, stimulation, play space, and room to explore - resulting in a happier, healthier and fitter pig.
