The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

pofotheroromanmy guinea pigs squeaks were low pitched a couple months ago i never knew why can someone tell me why her squeaks were low pitch
guineapigluverrSometimes their squeaks change with age
guineapigluverrMy loudest piggy sometimes had a raspy wheel and sometimes my piggy that doesn’t make a peep will manage to get out the loudest wheek
Marci_101Quick question to all, does a boar still attempt to mount a sow even if you already expected she might have been impregnated? Does this mean She might have not taken up pregnancy ? or… its just a dominance play from the boar?
Marci_101i just got a pair of siblings a month ago and she may have been mated before i got her (she has been eating more and has become plump)
jethro_skullPlease separate them????
