Poor Oreo! Make sure you don’t have a cedar substrate - some Guinean pigs are allergic to this. My favorite substrate is carefresh. It look like cotton. Since he is coughing as well, I do worry about an upper respiratory infection. You will need to call the specific petco location that you are interested in going to as the prices may vary and you will need to be sure to make an appointment with a vet who is comfortable seeing guinea pigs. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better soon!

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! You can get Lilli some huts and nesting/bedding material to hide/play in. Guinea pigs enjoy burrowing/tunneling so things like huts and pipes are fun for them. You can find plenty of options in pet stores, or make things your self out of shredded paper, toilet paper rolls, PVC pipe, etc. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Guinea pigs may be too large to play inside a ball, but you can still set up a safe activity area outside of their cage environment with the use of an X-pen or other foldable gates. You can then fill that area with toys to play with and chew on, hay to munch on, and other fun activities. This can help your piggies stretch and get a little exercise while still being safe and staying out of areas that may cause harm.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, they can get a lot of different diseases that go from infections, immune mediated diseases and even cancer. If you are concerned your guinea pigs are not doing well, make sure to have them evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!

I would recommend taking her to the vet tonight if you can. Usually by the time a guinea pig shows us they are sick they have been sick For a while and just hiding it. If you cannot tonight I would offer his his favorite treats to make sure he is eating and take her to the veterinarian tomorrow.
