We love your cavy videos, Greg! Thank you. We are in the USA and were wondering if pedigreed or purebred show cavies in the UK are required to have permanent IDs (i.e. metal ear tags or ear tattoos or leg rings)? Here cavies must have a numbered metal tag clamped onto the left ear in order to be entered into a show.
@guineapigswithgreg45753 күн бұрын
Hiya mark, thanks for watching the videos, we do not have a compulsory pedigree system here in the Uk, nor do we have any tags or way of identifying the animals, some people micro chip them, but for judging purposes all cavies are anonymous

Thanks you for posting this video Greg since finding your channel and watching all your videos I quite fancy having a go at showing. I found this video really informative and answered questions I had. We are actually going to the Welland Valley Cavey show which amazingly is being held 5 mins walk away at our local community center so am excited to go and watch

Please do not keep this fragile heavenly creatures in such small cages, even if it is for a few hours or shorter time. It shouldn't be allowed.

How do you protect your Guinea pig from any disease, and do you have to prove that your guinea pig is fit and healthy?
@guineapigswithgreg45753 күн бұрын
I have a very strict quarantine policy for new animals incoming, but my after show care routine involves viricidal wipes, anti mite spray and ivomec for the cavies, and viricidial wash for the boxes

Beautiful piggies 😍 Do you have any tips for a particularly greasy boar before a show?
@guineapigswithgreg457518 күн бұрын
I use surgical spirits and a cotton wool bid to break down the grease then wash the pig, you can also use washing up liquid on the grease spot..lol some people use swarfega

We should adopt rather than shop This poor baby has gorgeous. color while big hands rough him up and speak poorly of him. Thumbs down Search out LA Guinea Pig Rescue videos and adopt don’t shop!
@guineapigswithgreg457520 күн бұрын
These guinea pigs aren’t for sale the breeders (not me) are experts in their breed and the cavies are kept immaculately and training well, Simon speaks of breed specific faults only, not in relation to the health of the Guinea pig. I support adoption 💯 and work with Avalon Guinea pig rescue here in the Uk ( you may have seen them on the Netflix movie keeper of the pigs). I will check out your rescue and see the good work you do also. 🥰

Thank you so much for your film footage of Scotland. OMG unbelievably beautiful. It truly is one of God's most beautiful creations. Heaven on earth. So proud of the Scottish people for preserving their land and keeping it the way it has been since the beginning of time. I am so sad to say that we Americans have not respected the land here. Unbelievably beautiful Scotland. And the beautiful Scottish people.

Yes static live was correct, seems there was a small outbreak at the show on a few exhibits, not the fault of the exhibitor and it is not an inherent fault , here in the Uk it is a penalisation not a disqualification
