Product Information

A weekend delivery service and a Priority Dispatch service for urgent items is also available to the mainland uk. Guest Post by Craig N. - long time Guinea Pig parent, currently of Bentley and Cosmo (pictured above), and they invite you to follow their antics @ https://www.facebook.com/briochepig Long Lasting Carefresh lasts longer than other kinds of traditional bedding, so you don't spend lots of time cleaning up. It is economical because Carefresh lasts longer between bedding changes. Carefresh is clean, safe, natural and virtually dust free. It won't irritate you or your pet's respiratory system and makes cleaning out cages less of a chore.

So these were many of the most common sounds these cute animals use to engage in a surprisingly sophisticated form of communicating. Hopefully this blog helped you learn something new about these furry pets. And Environmentally Friendly Too! Carefresh is independently certified to be environmentally friendly. It's made from wood pulp that can't be made into paper, and so would normally be buried in a landfill. The short answer is, maybe. There isn't a definitive answer to this, but scientists believe they can have a mental map of their surroundings and when combined with their sense of smell and whisker sensors, they can zip around in the dark without crashing into things!!!Super Absorbent Carefresh absorbs over three times its weight in liquids. The super absorbency of Carefresh keeps pets and their living area dry and clean. What's more, it doesn't fall apart when wet! For odour control and absorbency, choose CareFRESH Ultra bedding for Ultra soft, Ultra Clean and an Ultra absorbent bedding for your pet. It is made from extra-long, extra-soft bleached fibres, providing a natural, comfortable living environment for your pet. And like all CareFRESH products, CareFRESH Ultra is biodegradable. CareFRESH Ultra is a great value, too, since it's long lasting and requires fewer changes. Its patented formula is free from contaminants like pine or cedar oils, so it is safe for your small pet. In the next blog, I’ll explore guinea pig anatomy. How well do they see? Hear? Smell? Why is it so important their digestive system always has something going through it? How fast does their heart beat? Clean & Safe Carefresh is non toxic. It is sanitised at high temperatures to kill bacteria, mould and fungi. It's been tested for dioxins, pesticides and heavy metals to protect you and your pet.

This is a photo of a calcium stone that Biscotti had. You can see it in the x-Ray and also see the actual stone that was removed. How painful that must have been for him. He was both whimpering and grinding his teeth in pain, and then began to lose appetite. This is why an immediate trip to a veterinarian is necessary if such behavior/sounds are noticed. Wheeking, chutting, and rumbling, oh my! These are just some of the noises that the most vocal of rodents, the guinea pig, use to communicate with each other, and you! If your guinea pig is grinding his/her teeth while resting, he/she is likely in pain. Most frequent cause would be a kidney/calcium stone, but no matter what the reason, this also requires an immediate trip to a veterinarian. Often the grinding is accompanied by a whimpering sound. All our delivery services operate within the current COVID guidelines for your safety. If you have any particular COVID-related requirements, please just let us know.This is generally neither a good nor bad noise. For the most part, rumbling refers to “rumble strutting”. Rumble strutting is used when a guinea pig is courting another or, when between two or more males, is used to determine and define a hierarchy. Even if an “alpha male” has already been determined, the behavior can sometimes reoccur to make sure no one forgot what their role is. Among guinea pigs that are already bonded, this is a perfectly natural behavior and sound that may occasionally occur, whether courting or determining who’s in charge. However, this behavior is most likely to occur during bonding and generally not an issue unless a small “fight” breaks out and then only if blood is drawn. Rumble strutting is usually accompanied by a “butt wiggle” and a warning sound as well as teeth chattering (explained later).

In this video you will hear Bentley and Cosmo chutting as they are running around. Bentley’s is not as loud as Cosmo.This is a very quiet noise that a content guinea pig may make. It is usually associated when you have a piggy super relaxed in your lap with a very gentle rubbing of teeth. Sometimes a light pet on their jaw when relaxed will bring this action and sound. But beware, teeth rubbing/grinding can also be a very bad noise- more on that later. Whiskers on a guinea pig act in very similar ways to other animals. Loaded with nerve endings in them, they are used to measure the width of tunnels and objects. Basically, if the whiskers fit, the piggy will fit. They can also use them to measure the size and depth of an object right in front of them (think lettuce!). They also act as a warning for any object approaching the eye so they may protect it. Hopefully this basic overview of a guinea pig’s senses, and how they work together, will help you understand and appreciate your guinea pigs more than ever! These are sounds that demand immediate veterinary intervention. As predatory animals, even after hundreds of generations removed from their wild ancestors, guinea pigs try very hard to hide symptoms of illness. Any one or more of those sounds, mainly during breathing, indicates a high likelihood of a respiratory illness that has already developed, which is why an immediate trip to the vet is needed. In this slowed down video, you will see that Bentley, most likely annoyed that Baxter is in his favorite spot, gives a warning look and then lunges/jabs Baxter. But you can see that just before he does, he covers up his teeth with his lips.
