Re: Want a guinea pig
They will be fine with normal room temperature but nothing too hot. If they start scraping away bedding to mlie against the floor then you will know they are getting too warm. Also, if their ears are normally pale they will start to go pink. What they really do not like is damp and humidity.

Re: Want a guinea pig
They should be ok then.
 When we are cooking, I will keep the extractor on to stop any un-necessary heat and steam. They aren't too close anyway. I did feel down the side of the cage when the radiator was on and I don't think it will affect them at all, it will just make that corner of the room a bit cosier. They will be next to a window but I never use it and it is always shaded. Want them so much, right now, a few days earlier shouldn't make a difference should it!?

Re: Want a guinea pig
I bought some more things from P@H last night from this range - Naturals Gnaw Stone Stack for Small Pets by Boredom Breaker-Treats-Pets at Home: Buy Pet Supplies from our Online UK Pet Shop, but can't get my particular boredom breakers up on their website but basically one is a dangly thing with wood bits on and a nut (all natural material) and the other is nuts again but with loofah to help their teeth, is this ok to digest if they do?
I also bought this, hope they like it!  2 Way Snuggles Hooded Bed for Guinea Pigs and Rabbits by Boredom Breaker-Fabric-Pets at Home: Buy Pet Supplies from our Online UK Pet Shop

Re: Want a guinea pig
He just wants to have it where they are exactly 5 weeks - I would love them sooner though. He was also monitoring them as he separated them from their parents but he said they were doing well.

Re: Want a guinea pig
Oh I see.
One of my females was really really tiny when I got her, she couldn't have been more than a few weeks old judging by the size of her and she was all on her own so I bought her. This is her.      She was so tiny that she could get out of the holes in the exercise pen.

Re: Want a guinea pig
Wow, comparing her to the other pig, she is miniscule!
How sweet, they are both beautiful.

Re: Want a guinea pig
She's a little fatty now though and I had to get her a new friend because the other two females started bullying her so her and her new friend live in a 5ft hutch in the shed and get on like a house on fire.

Re: Want a guinea pig
Aaw evil pigs bullying her! Glad she has a new cage mate!
She looks like a hamster in that pic, she is so small! I sooooooooooo wish I could get mine tonight! I do not like waiting for anything, especially when I see so many cute piggies on here!

Re: Want a guinea pig
Jazzy, your little one looked like she was only 3 or 4 weeks when you got her!
GPs should be 5 weeks old minimum before they go to new homes. I normally rehomed mine between 6 and 8 weeks old, sometimes keeping them a while longer if they had been small at birth.
