Hi guys, I made this video so that people who think about getting guinea pigs have realistic expectations. Guinea pigs require a lot of work and you need to consider this before getting them. Obviously, I love guinea pigs and think they're the best pets (I also made a video about reasons you SHOULD get guinea pigs) but that doesn't mean that everyone is going to agree with me. It's important to also share the work that comes with caring for pets so that less end up being given away. This video is still a LOVE LETTER to guinea pigs, watch the last point :)

I really want to rescue a guinea pig that’s being neglected but I don’t think I could afford one especially since I already have a hamster which is pretty expensive, but it makes me so sad I just want to help that piggie. The owners said he can’t be near other piggies because he’s super aggressive but fine with humans which is strange to me and I just want him to be happy and healthy they also don’t give him enough veggies and hay and it just hurts my heart that I can’t help him😭
@Lumors3 жыл бұрын
Yes, and these kinds of videos are super helpful to give an impression for those who never had a pet in their lives, would love to get one, but they have no idea what to prepare for. Just as the video explains it, you might have some expectations, you might try your best to be realistic, but these expectations might still not match reality.

Oh My Gosh! I wish my friend could have seen this last year. I am a college student living in a dorm and I had a friend who adopted a Guinea pig as a companion, even though pets are not allowed in our dorms. She would use old shirt she found in the free box as bedding, and change them every two weeks. She gave him a bath very often and then when summer came and she had to go back home across the country she found out that Piggies are not allowed on planes (for good reasons). So she asked me to take care of him for the summer and I didn't have the heart to say no (and apparently the brain either), I was really nervous about having him and being able to take car of him so I looked up "how to take care of a Guinea Pig" and I found your channel and learned so much, and I was horrified at how many things this friend was doing that were sooooo wrong in terms of a Guinea pig. I didn't have the heart to keep him on old shirt bedding so I began buying him actual bedding (even though my friend would never pay me back for that since I agreed to take care of him under her terms and not mine). During the middle of the summer we went through a heat wave and my dorm was sooo hot I could hardly sleep, people in my work place began to notice how incredibly worried I was about Piggy dying in the heat of my room so my boss did the nicest thing and allowed me to put him in her office for a couple of days until the heat wave passed, this involved me having to go to and from that office so many times a day because I obviously couldn't just leave him there. At a certain point I realized that I would have to leave before my friend came back and all of a sudden she was nowhere to be found when I asked her to help me look for someone to take him from me. No one was willing to do for me what I did for this person, and once I realized that next winter it would be the same story, I did the hardest thing, I found someone to adopt Pigster, I explained to my friend that it was the right thing to do because college was no place for a Piggy...and all she said was 'okay let him know, I paid $30 for him.' At this point I was willing to do anything to get Piggy to a better life, so I gave him to his new dad for free and I had to pay this friend $30,not to mention all the money I had spent on him all summer, the only loser was me. I'm sorry this was such a long comment but this video in particular sparked in me everything that I needed to get off my chest. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because throughout that whole time, I was watching your videos and I still do even though Piggy is long gone. I want to thank you for giving your piggies such a great home, a home that all piggies deserve, and for sharing your knowledge, because I went through so much trouble and stress last year just because of someone else's ignorance on how to take care of a pet.

I think it is best not to pick up a guinea pig on the day you get it. Let it have a quiet time in its hutch, with some nice food. Then, the next day, you can gently put your hand in the hutch so that it can get the scent of you, and later on, try stroking the guinea pig and then gently picking it up.

True. I got my first guinea pigs not just because I thought they were adorable little critters, but also because my dad didn’t want a dog(my mom wanted a pet and a dog was one of the first suggestions) and thought guinea pigs would be less work. Now that we do have a dog, he’s always saying that we should have gone for a dog a lot sooner. Our dog is allergic against almost everything and she still isn’t as expensive overall as our pigs were. And the time consuming part with a dog is fun because they actually want to interact with you, which only a few of the guinea pigs we had were even okay with. It was a good time with our piggies and they were the most adorable little things, but they’re not for everyone if you want them to truly be happy.

they love to love like any animal. it is less about the piggy and more about the trush you inspire in them. when they feel they can trust you they are as cuddly and affectionate as any other animal. they bond to you as you do to them. my girls sit on my lap and watch tv with me while i brush their hair. they will look up to me with total love because they trust and love me.

You are very right on the emotional toll part. I've said goodbye to 9 piggies now and it never gets easier. Some go after a full life like my 8 yo sow and others are like my 2 yo sow who died suddenly last year. They give me so much.

Thanks for taking time to post those very informative videos. Your piggies are of course insanely cute but they look super happy too. Me and my girlfriend bought a Guinea pig (Female piggy, her name is Mango!) in a quite common pet store 3 years ago. We bought her alone because altho we knew it was recommended to have them in pair the store owner convinced us it wasn't necessary (watching your videos made me realize it wasn't the case... abit late unfortunately). Sadly me and my girlfriend broke up and I decided to move back to my home country. She kept Mango. No need to mention that leaving my lovely pet broke my heart. I never thought I would get so attached to such a lovely little creature but she truely was one of the happiest parts of my day. As I work from home I she had all my attention and we spent so much time together. I like to think we really bonded. Anyway here I am, 6-7 months later thinking about getting my own guinea pig. I know me and my ex made some mistakes with how we took care of our piggy but she seemed very happy and the Vet checkups were positiv. Mango was happy and healthy and hopefully she still is. I'm not sure if I want to or if I am ready to adopt a pair of Guinea pigs but if I do I will make sure I follow your advices. Thanks again for sharing your insights.

i had two guinea pigs and one pig turned out to have a bulge on her neck, and her side. we took her to the vet and it ended up in 2 surgeries, about $200-$300. years later she died peacefully sleeping. i miss her, but recently we got a new baby piggy and also recently introduced my 7 year old pig with my 5 month old pig and they hit it off perfectly. thank you for helping me with them.

I love my two piggies so much! The benefits outweigh the costs for me, even if one piggie of mine doesn’t like being pet that much. A plus is you can always encourage them to be more social with you through treating them when they approach you. The trick is to let this be voluntary for them. Get a towel and show them treats and let them walk from their cage into your lap at their own accord. That’s what’s been working for me, anyway.

You're welcome! 3 years later and my peegs are still my babies! Another thing I have learned is to keep an eye on their weight. Them losing weight when they get sick and that being the only symptom until it gets very serious is no joke. Was clipping my pig Carmen's nails in the winter when I noticed she was much lighter than normal. Took her to the vet. She had bladder stones. If we hadn't caught them while they were small she would have needed surgery.

My boy isn't very vocal at all. He doesn't wheek or coo, although one time he purred when I offered him some lettuce after a break between grocery trips. He popcorns a lot though when I come up to the cage or when I use my "special voice" and he knows I'm talking to him specifically! He was rehomed to me by a coworker who couldn't care for him anymore and I'm really happy he's taken to the change.

I had 2 guinea pigs growing up. Our second one was super awesome and would actually let us know when he had to go to the bathroom (pee) so we could put him back in his cage. My main reason why i never got another one is they only live for 5 years. I get emotionally attached to animals, so the short life span made me not want to get another one.

A couple days ago mine started screaming at me at 2:30 in the morning and wouldn't shut up so I slept in the front room. They have food, water, a clean cage, everything. I don't want them(my sister bought them but she moved) but I have to take care of them, and although they might work for you, before you get them, make sure you won't ever have to dump them on someone.

Your guinea pigs are so cute! I used to have a guinea pig but he died in 2016, but I do have three rabbits and this relates to them too! Except for the fact that they don’t make noise. The weird thing is that my guinea pig (Chico) didn’t make any noise at all. But then again back then I had no idea how to take care of him. Chico passed away at the age of five, he went through three other homes before he came to us. He was around five or six years old

I have two Guinea pigs and when my alarm goes off and I start moving my brown and white one starts wheeking at the top of his lungs for treats and attention. Which I always give before and after work. My other Guinea pig, cosmo who is black with golden brown, doesn’t really make a whole lot of noise but he is always curious what I’m doing or what’s in my hand when I give them veggies. Cosmo is more soft spoken compared to his brother but he does make noise if he wants stuff or to say hello.

So in 8 months they all died one by one and now 1 year after i could cry everyday because of that. We were so close, they lived free in my room and theire cage was near my bed so i always heard their noises by falling asleep. I miss them so much 💔💙💚💛💜

As I new guinea pigs owner I am seeing the reality of all that (thankfully I have done lots of research prior so I was prepared). What concerned me the most were the vet bills, specially emergency vet bills. I am glad I am using pet insurance which covers a significant portion of that cost and it is not very expensive the monthly cost. Another thing, they do take over your house! My apartment has hay all over, piggy toys, hideys, blankets, and Al kids of stuff! Thanks for sharing!
