10 Products Guinea Pigs DON'T NEED! Don't Bother Buying!

There's a lot of confusing products out there for guinea pigs! This video will show you what things are just not necessary for all guinea pigs (or are advertised wrongly!), as well as products that are downright dangerous and should be avoided at all costs! Please note not all these are harmful though - I explain my reasons why I think they are unnecessary in standard situations!

Hi Sarah. Thank you so much for posting this video and for mentioning in it the dangers of hay racks. This is how I lost one of my piggies recently. She managed to get her head stuck in the top of it. Unfortunately, it was too late by the time we found her. I removed all the hay racks and hay balls after this and threw them away. It was heartbreaking to find her like that. I did post it on FB too. Thank you.

[@SqueakDreams]

I'm so very deeply sorry for your loss Helen, I can only imagine how awful that must have been. Thank you so much for having the courage to share this as well, hopefully we can prevent this happening to other innocent piggies ❤

I found this channel searching for help for our sick guinea pig. He's about 2 1/2 years old and has been really lethargic for the last 3 to 4 days. I'm worried about him, and the vet can't get him in until Tuesday. Do you have any advice? My husband use to raise and show them, but that was 35-40 years ago. We rescued him from a miserable situation, and he's part of our family. I'd really appreciate any info. Thanks

I still buy the vitamin c tablets from Oxbow, my guineapig thinks it's a treat and she goes insane when I shake the container I keep it in. I trained her to put her paws up on her house when she wants the vitamin and as soon as I give it to her, she yanks it from my hands and runs into her house and happily eats it. She loves it so much and it's so cute to see her go crazy for her treats.

[@bethwilgis6991]

I have a pic of my piggy back when we first got him, he was so tiny and got himself in his hay rack and was just chillin there munching away minding his own business ❤️ 2 years later it's hard to imagine him being that small 😁

[@hannahharrison7692]

6:01 I'm glad you mentioned treats and foods! When I got my guinea pig cage, they had extra supplies and food that they gave me, the pellets were from Walmart and they had all sorts of unnecessary seeds and nuts and things, and yogurt drops treats too (good for rats and mice but not for pigs!) But yeah I pulled the pellets out of the food, tossed the nuts and fruit loop things, and switched them to Oxbow, they definitely like that better and it's healthier for them too. Thanks and have a blessed day :)

I would definitely give them vitamin c. my guinea pig had vitamin c as an ingredient in her food, and I gave her vitamin c rich veggies and she still got scurvey. Her entire back end was paralyzed. Even if they *eat right* it's often still not enough. Also a helpful tip for guinea pig lice, I covered mine with coconut oil for a day or so, it killed the lice and actually helped with their dry skin! :D then I washed them with dawn dish soap wich is gentle and piggy safe.

[@mikemore]

Dawn isn't safe. I learned this because of gardening. You can use Dr. Bronners unscented or as I do make your own with oil, potassium hydroxide, and distilled water. It's also the cheapest way to😊

I have two guinea pigs. We keep them on a very healthy diet - vegetables, fruit, hay, pellets, straw, woodchips (not to eat, but just as a bedding). We used to buy them these bars where it looks like all of the nuts have been stuck together, and they werent really a fan of them, so we switched to Dandelion Salad, (we purchase ours from Healthy Harvest brand ) and they love it! We drop some outside of their house in their cage or on their food bowl and we really recommend this as a healthy snack for any guinea pig, really. They have been loving it ever since.

Great info as ever, learned a couple new things on bedding too. I recall my hamster (when I was much much younger!) had a plastic ball, seems mad when you think about it! And although harnesses are a very clear no no, anything that are designed for piggies to wear, jumpers, costumes, hats - really don’t like them. I know there’s debate and caveats here - should Skinny pigs have warmth etc? But for me, no clothing. Piggies are beautiful as they are :)

Hello Sarah... I recently purchased. The Clip on Bags with holes. Cause the cage I got was huge and meant for rabbits so the hay feeder was a bit too high. Well they love the hay bag that holds that clips on the side of the cage.. maybe abit too much and sometimes will sit in there and eat.. and poo and pee... I tried to wash the first one I had.. with dye free / scent free detergent and it did not survive the wash. I don't want to have to buy over and over again the same type of bag. Have you ever used these kinds of feeders? How did you clean them? The one I had was pretty big. Had 4 holes on the front that hay stuck out of. I was thinking soaking them to wash.. but I did not know if I could use anything to get the odor out and any bacteria killed from poopies and pee.. lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated... love your videos.. and your accent! haha

Hello there, just wondering when you set up an indoor area for you go and be with your guinea pig, how do you handle their urination? At my place I have tile flooring, so should I have some sort of matt for them to do their business, or just allow them to urinate anywhere they want and deal with it afterwards?

I recommend using fleece or something. First off, it can make it much easier to clean up after. Second, it makes it so your piggy’s won’t slip and have better traction, so it’s a win win!

it frustrates me how many people think piggies need monthly baths, i currenly have 12 piggies 2 of them came to me a little over a year ago and only just got their first bath because one is elderly and lays in her pee often so had developed an over powering scent. the other liked to cuddle with her and the scent had rubbed off on her even though she wasnt laying in pee most of the time. the only piggie who gets a regular bath is our Sheltie pig because some how though hes a healthy moving boy his but gets soaked in pee so smells along with knotting up. he neutered and lives with 7 ladies (not the 2 from above) so also gets pee'd on often when he tries to be romantic LOL.

Wat about putting hay in a little box

[@2DogsVlogs]

I had Amaya out for training with her favourite treat, lettuce. She's getting there and more used to me. She is still very shy. It has really helped by picking up the girls from bellow rather than just grabbing for the wriggly critters. One thing Amaya said she said not to buy is a Husky. She doesn't like her giant predator sister, she loves her big Malamute brother though and snuggling in his fur.
