Community Info

Please read all rules before joining!

This community is very pro-adoption. Breeders, and owner of guinea pigs from pet stores are more than welcome to join. However, a pro-adoption response to unexpected pregnancies or the possibility of getting a new pig should be expected!

 

Rules and Regulations

1.) All entries must be related to guinea pigs. No community promos are accepted.

2.) No picture larger than 200 x 200 should be posted without an LJ cut. (for information on how to do an LJ cut, please click here)

3.) You do not have to own a guinea pig to join this community.

4.) Manners are important in this community. No comments will be allowed that use racist, homophobic, sexist, or religious epithets. No comments will be tolerated that include personal attacks.

A personal attack is when you:
1. comment on a persons appearance, religion, mental state, or piggies in a derogatory manner
2. Use foul language not in context at the person
3. Blow off the other persons intelligence/comment/piggies

5.) All members are to feel 100% safe posting anything. If you need help or are unable to find information, please feel free to post.

6.) No spamming, no trolling, and no fighting is allowed. The most frequent hotly debated topics are: breeding, cages, vet care, and feeding treats. When you post about these topics or comment, please be especially sensitive and remember that we are trying to educate, not offend the person. Most owners in here want 100% of the best for their pet - they just may be doing something harmful because they were not given correct information. Remember - there is not a lot of good guinea pig information out there! Be kind!

7.) Deleting comments and posts, or disabling comments is prohibited. Doing either will result in a warning, and then banning from the community. If something was posted to the community by mistake, please email the moderators to let them know you are removing it.

Remember the only way you can help the guinea pigs is to educate people. Educate, don't lecture.
