Guinea Pigs Gathering: "Wheekstock"

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2020
  • Originally named 'Guinea Pigs Farm'. Re-named b/c our pets situation was incorrectly being compared with a 'piggy mill' -which it most certainly wasn't. 'Farm' was in the original title for no other reason than because of the pig herder's affectionate hobby. That was back before some of our newer subscribers joined us. Thanks for stopping by!. *Archive
    Some of y'all wanted a peek at the shop. We're still building it. Always are and will be, it's more like a fort for adults, made of whatever got saved, scrounged or found free. It needs weather tight and critter proof while below requirements for any imaginable building code criteria, so it keeps to more a porch and tent affair. Had we other than a temperate coastal climate, easily an impractical impossibility. Were there any principles, they would be in how to go about it without having to spend money on stuff. On them, we happily empty our pocketses.

    Gotten a lot of questions, lately. Is this a farm where guinea pigs are being raised for food, breeding for sale, or scientific experiment?. Nope, none of any of that. These are pets. Their setup got called a 'farm' out of an affectionate hobby. Nothing more. Keep calm and carry on watching!.

      @@Arsaja Thank you for your question. Overpopulation and an excess of new tiny mouths to feed is always a concern, when you have this many (which I definitely don't suggest doing). Especiallly because guinea pigs tend to breed...well, like guinea pigs, really. Separation of the genders helps. Re-homing with loving owners, when and where possible.

      @@Caterpillartears Hamsters only eat their young if the mother is extremely stressed, which means something is wrong with her environment or care. That means it's the owner's fault for not taking proper care of the hamster (too small cage, bad food, dirty cage, abusing the hamster by "playing" when it doesn't want to) and stressing it out. It's also like a mercy killing for her babies because in the wild a predator would get them first.

    Nothing like babies. It's like Christmas with every litter. You never know what will pop out. The largest litter I had was seven and they all made it, but I had to help feed the runt. Mom still nurtured him and his siblings would popcorn when I put him back in with them, but he could not suckle well enough to compete so I fed him extra. He grew up to be a fine little man pig named Zeke. Black and white.

      We adopted ( thanks to my then 10 year old son) a pair of Gpigs within a couple of weeks we noticed when we woke up two turned into 3 . Evidently one was pregnant and we didn’t know. We ended up buying a plastic kiddie pool for the Gpig farm. This was their hangout when we weren’t home. The kids loved the Gpigs . After 3 litters we had to separate the girls from the boys and ended up with more pools.

He had a huge cage and lived in my house. There was nothing strange going on with him. He ate all good food, Timothy hay, fresh vegetables, but one morning, I uncovered his cage and he had passed away. I rescued him when he was a baby from a pet store. His name was Cubby. He lived in a busy area of my home where he had interaction with me all through the day and also my children and grandchildren. I miss his precious squeaks. 😔❤️

    Oh how they love their grass. It's so good for them. I give mine oranges also for the vitamin C. Cilantro is popular as are dandelions all summer long. They are such little horses aren't they? They eat the same food as horses do. What happy piggies you have. Bless you.

      Quite so. Their design is adapted to it, accounting for their size. We imagine lots of little molars and what they are suited to. Beyond that, they are very adaptable. Even live with people, so well as allowed. Their lives are short however, reminding us to ours as much the same. It seems a fine thing to fill them with comforts of happiness.

      @@annabeltemple230 Yes, the grasses are their natural food in their native habitat. Very tall grasses sometimes. I was reading about their countries of origin and how they live in the wild. They tunnel through the grass. They run like bullet trains in their tunnels. And you know how they eat it like spaghetti so even if its very long, in it goes. Delightful to watch that little chewing and grass disappearing. Adorable. They even can chew their cud at times like a little cow or horse. There are so few people on earth it seems that we can share this love of piggies with. However, early in my piggie keeping days, I connected with fanciers in England over the rather new internet at that time. There were "cavy rescues" (the brits call them cavies) where sweet and loving people kept many of them rescued from various animal shelters. Then there were breeders of every kind and peculiarity. My very first sow was a beautiful cream colored long hair. Not Peruvian, because it was short around the head, but very long in the back and with a bit of wave. She was gorgeous. Huge eyes and very blunt nose. I named her Cream Puff. She gave me my first babies. The boar was a short haired "self" (all one color) shiny black, Ebony. They produced self babies of all colors. Pure white, pure red, pure black, pure cream. They were such beauties and so large! They grew to two pounds and had very sweet dispositions. Calm. Affectionate. I still remember those first babies with such delight. And it never ended. Each litter was a big family affair with all of us trying to catch the mommy having the babies. I'd bring them inside and keep them by my bed so as to not miss the grand event, but almost every time I'd fall asleep and in the morning there would be a litter of darling kits making baby noises. But there were times when we did witness the blessed events and those were thrilling. My children enjoyed them and handled each baby immediately to imprint it so it would not be fearful of people. I have many photos of the kids holding the babies. Such a sweet way to teach children about mammal reproduction. Almost bloodless births and the babies so ready to interact right out of the chute. Within days they are eating food as well as nursing. Mice and rats and rabbits are born blind and naked. Not piggies! They must be ready to run through the grass with mommy to survive. And they can talk to us right away. Perfection. Yes, some of mine were shorter lived than others also. I had one line which were quite small and they only lived two years so I stopped breeding that line. I tried for longevity and good temperament. Ebony lived five years and I thought that was long until Flash! Flash is going on nine or ten years old. I have actually lost track of his age! He has outlived two mates and some of his offspring. But as you say, their lives are far too short and their passing was always such a sadness.

    Rescued one once from a woman's kid who wouldn't care for it. My suggestion buy only for mature kids. G.P. was a sweetie we made a large outdoor run cage safe from birds and brought him in at night the dogs and cats loved him and they would curl up together. Loved his happy squeals. Beautiful well cared bunch here!
