I finally got my pig yesterday! She is so sweet! I do plan on getting her a friend, but I just need to convince my dad!  I am going to her to the vet, just to make sure she is doing good. In the picture, she is in her temp. cage, she has now moved into her 11 sq. ft. cage. What should I name her?  |

She's gorgeous, and 11 square feet is huge! Lucky girl!
I suggest the names Rowan, Tegan, Tessa, Lila and Daisy, respectively. LOL. Feel free to reject those suggestions, just wanted to make some!

Hi and welcome! Mady is just gorgeous! Please get her a friend; guinea pigs are herd animals and much happier if they have compnay of their own kind at all times. Here is a link to the best medical website for guinea pigs and what they say about companionship, if you need to convince your dad: www.guinealynx.info/companionship.html |

Awww, she's beautiful!!! I do hope your dad will let you get her a friend. I've found the more the better, but even just two brings out the best pigginess in both!!!
My animals tend to name themselves, even if I go with a theme, so she should tell you her name soon.

Thanks for all of the name suggestions, but I am keeping with my original name-Poppy!
We just came back from the vet because I noticed sneezing, he does have a URI and he is official a boy! We got some medicine, and it is one of the recommended antibiotics on Guinea Lynx.
Hope he gets better!

Did the vet tell you to bring him back in for a follow up, once the meds were gone? My first vet didn't, and the URI became pneumonia. I lost that pig becuase I didn't know any better and thought the vet would tell me all I needed to do. Now I make a follow up appointment even if the vet doesn't tell me to, which most of them do tell me to do, whew!!!
I like Poppy and it's unisex, lol. Glad you know for sure that Poppy is a boar. No accidents later.

Good that you found out the sex in time and didn't have to change the name! You can always double check any piggy on this excellent website: www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htmPoppy is ever so cute and looks like a bit of a mix between Taffy and my first piggy Minx in his face markings (you can see how all my piggies looks like in the first post of the yodelpigs; I keep it updated). I have a soft spot for piggies with dutch markings. |
