Anyone know a good guineapig forum?

I'm looking for a good gpig forum - never come across one that I really liked yet.

I know one (guinealynx) that is very good on health matters, but otherwise can be very close-minded on matters (the "my way is the only way" syndrome) and isn't a very friendly place if you happen to have a different opinion, which makes me not want to post much as I disagree with some of their opinions. But all other forums I've found so far and too far the other way - too "fluffy" if you get what I mean!!! Not tough enough.

So if anyone knows any gpig forums let me know the links, I'd like to check them out!

well... I would say www.petwebsite.com but... you know

they are all fluffy and incredibly 'my opinion is the right one etc..' but so far.. all piggy sites seem to be like it

Yeah, I used to go on PWS a lot (I'm funkyvixen on there, actually I just posted a re-hello there today), it's not so bad there but some things really annoying there - I feel its over-modded.

I was going to say Guinea Lynx for serious discussion but you are right about certain attitudes...

Have you checked out http://www.cavymadness.com/ Cavy Madness?

Guinealynx is scary - great for medical matters but that's about it. So far I haven't found a Guinea Pig forum that I really like.

Someone on another forum recommended http://www.pimms-pages.co.uk - it seems alright actually. I've browsed a bit, they seem a nice bunch with some healthy scepticism but not too harsh

, might be quite a few youngsters there though (not a bad thing in itself as most of them seem sensible). I posted an intro and plan to lurk to get my piggy fixes!!! My pigs don't live with me at the moment and I miss them

www.hamsterific.com

It says Hamster Forum, but we've ventured into other fields.

Everyone's very knowledgeable and friendly. They have a sister site, which I think is www.cavypop.com

I've been a member of it for over 2 and a half years!
