Very nice that you mentioned the cage size and how most sold cages are too small. And also that you should never have one alone, but always two! That is sooo important and everyone getting guinea pigs should know this.

[@ashley-ik9hj]

I had guinea pigs when I was like twelve years old; I didn't research about guinea pigs or anything - and unfortunately the passed away. Now that I am more mature and older I have decided to get some more [I'm 19 now]. I've been watching more videos and now I am more educated about them. :)

[@GThunder_Gaming]

WE ARE THE SAME! I got one when I was 11 and back then I don't know how to take care of them so they also passed away. I just turned 19 today and I miss taking care of guinea pigs so I'm thinking about getting them.

[@lilyannabelle2470]

That was the same with me. We got two guinea pigs when I was 9 and now I’m 18 and want to get guinea pigs again, so have done so much research to make sure I’m more educated now about them and their care ❤️

I have been wanting Guinea pigs since I saw some at the farm 😂. So I’ve been watching Guinea piggles to find out some things I need to get and how to care for them.

[@ashley-ik9hj]

@𝐴𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑎 𝑘 Okay, first of all, no need to be judgemental. Some people are very different and aren't like you who know how to take care of pets. I've learned my mistakes and now how to take proper care.

[@AllieXwilliams]

Things I’m doing right 1.lost of space 2.i have 2 boys 3. They get fresh veggies every day 4.i play with them (if they let me) 5. I can clean there cage 6. I can trim nails (or my mom) 7. I can groom shooky(my super long hair one) 8. I am always home 9. They get the right about of food (hay,veggies,pellets) 10. I love when they talk!!! 11. I’m not allergic! 12.i am not going anywhere anytime soon BC I’m 15 lol!

[@GuineaPiggles]

It sounds like you're a good piggy parent! :)

[@AllieXwilliams]

Update on my piggies: they still don’t like me very much, I can go I to the room where there cage is and they run away from me. When I pick them up they let me hold them tho. There cages gets very stinky so Deep clean it about every 2-3 days. When I put them in a laundry basket with a blanket underneath they run from me at first but then they seem to enjoy my pets on there ears. Overall I love my pigs but I wish they would feel the same way about me!🥲😁😚💗

[@zoe-ci3xv]

Hii! I have a question as I’m wondering about getting a guinea pig! 😊 Do they need to be able to graze on grass? I live in an apartment and it doesn’t have a garden! Also another thing is, do they get scared by dog barking? People walk their dogs by the apartments and the bark SO MUCH! It’s ok if you can answer! :)

[@AllieXwilliams]

@@zoe-ci3xv loud noises do startle the piggies. Mine are upstairs and away from my dogs so they don’t hear them. But over time i think they will get used to the loud barking from time to time. It might take a little longer for them to be comfortable because of the shocking loud noises tho. I have taken my pigs outside to play with the kids I babysit(on the grass) and they liked it, but it’s not a necessary need. I’m not the perfect pet parent but that is what I have gathered throughout my pig Journey so far. I hope this helps at least a little bit!😁

[@zoe-ci3xv]

@@AllieXwilliams aww thanks! Also, are they noisy at night? As in can I keep them in my bedroom? I have this shelf and it’s very wide and big was I was thinking of getting a big hutch and putting it under there, (with lamps etc so it’s not dark when I’m not in the room) 😊

[@missingsummer222]

Thinks I’m doing right 😃!: -Everybody has at least 1/2 buddies in my herd -Big space!! -Fresh veggies every morning and evening(7am-5pm) -Nails trimmed every week or so and groomed every week -Pellets, hay, and water always refilled -Play with them for at least 20 minutes a day! (Each) -Make fun little games for them to entertain them! I love my little herd! ❤️ 3 boys: Apollo, Patch, and Bruno 3 girls: Cleo, August, Lady

[@GuineaPiggles]

Fantastic! You sound like a brilliant piggy parent! :)

[@beverleybalshaw9119]

I too have a Cleo 😊 And two more girls, Phoebe and Sheba. Sadly my elderly gent Tipsy, had to be put to sleep.😢 I held him as he crossed the Rainbow 🌈. Oh yes we cry, but I have always stayed with my pets large or small, you owe it to them to show you love them, as they loved us unconditionally all their lives 💗 I also have a big space for my piggies. I don't intend reducing it, even though I'm almost on the pavement outside....on the sofa.... watching TV!! lol 😆 My girls have a 3x5 grid and floor time for "play time" and love to zoom. They are going for a nail trim tomorrow, as they're young and still skittish, I want them to have a good experience, without any mishaps!😱. They are coming out of their shell and climb on me for treats, but scream blue murder when picked up, no matter how gentle! 😅 They do calm down, when THEY are ready. They may never be like to be picked up, but kindness and gentleness ALL THE TIME is the key to a piggies heart, (🐹 don't forget the treats!! 🥕🥬)

Actually very often guinea pig stress themselves out a lot....l think we did a mistake by having too.... from time to time we have to split them in different cages and slowly introduce them again, for some time they are good and than again same process. I feel my guinea pig that was alone lived stress free life,was much more comfortable doing stuff, interacting with us and we spent quite a lot time with him, sister would do her homework and guina was sleeping or cuddling in her lap.

[@ReadyorNot811]

@@lavalampa3254 the cage was probably too small for 2.

[@lavalampa3254]

@@ReadyorNot811 That definitely can't be the case cause they have a whole room on display and cage itself isn't small, it's always open and they jump in and out when they want....they attack each other even outdoors, they're both males tho but l don't think it would be different in case of females, we fostered females in few occasions and l find them more aggressive.

I have 2 guineapigs, both girls. I have alot time for them, they do have hay all the time. And ofcourse vegetables, but not really any dandelion leaves or anything like that because well, there's already LOTS of snow on the ground. Lumi, is a bit bigger pig, compared to her sister Lulu. Lumi loves attention, right now she is sleeping on me. So i don't want to bother her, Lulu loves attention too. Lumi is white, and Lulu has white, black, brown, and dark brown colored fur. But the thing i really need to know is that how often should i bathe my pigs? I know bathing them too often will dry out their skin. So i want to make sure i don't bathe them too much, their fur is short and usually very soft. But it has started to feel a bit rough than usually. They are still young, so could that be because they are getting older? Maybe, but how much do guineapigs usually shed? I love my guineapigs, and i want them to be happy and healthy, so if you have time. Please answer if you can.

While I wait for it to warm up I put him in a little box with comfy towel under him and above him. He seems to close his eyes often. Also when I touch his ears he closes his eyes and on occasion will yawn. He also sometimes teeth chatters than goes back to looking relaxed. I don’t know if he likes what I’m doing or not.

It sounds like he may not be used to being handled so maybe take him out for daily cuddles to get him used to you. Do this for a few days and when he's a bit more chilled try slowly and carefully trimming his hair. But take your time and have some veggies to hand to distract him. A piece of Romaine lettuce always goes down well with our piggies!

The close caption for "long-haired" came out as "lunkhead" hahaha...Hey reet-rats have feelings too! :) Great presentation and solid facts and knowledge. I'll wager that most people my age (57) in America had reet-rats when we were kids and maybe as teens too and never knew most of this stuff. I'd love to own a pair now but schedule doesn't really permit it.

I have a guinea pig and I am getting him a new cage cause his is way to tiny and I feel so bad I didn’t know when I got him and I’m wondering is the Aivituvin air 10 cage and it’s 9.12ft (tall? I think) big enough for my guinea pig (I am going to try to get another male) so will it be big enough? Also any recommendations for places to get toys?

[@otdl6dktlufuc]

thank you🥰 it's so very helpful

[@elysemiller446]

Is Timothy hay a suitable hay for the piggies to eat on all day?

[@daysure]

Yes they need hay 24/7

Hello, what can I do with my guinea pig, she was agressive to other pigs in pet shop so she was separated and put to adoption. Is any way to introduce her to other guinea pig?

[@lavalampa3254]

Probably not l think, some pigs are actually better of alone

Hello Alicja how are you doing today

[@commenter594]

Oh ma’am thankyou! I’m getting a guinea pig soon - I didn’t know they could get depressed without another of their kind so it helped a lot, hopefully I won’t be allergic to them since my sinus is very sensitive, I sneeze a lot every day :( Great video! Very informative :)

[@GuineaPiggles]

Thank you :) I'm glad you liked the video. I guess guinea pigs are much like humans. If we were completely on our own but living with other animals we would probably feel very lonely too.

[@commenter594]

@@GuineaPiggles ah now that I think about it, you are quite very right. I really appreciate the help! I would’ve been devastate if I made my guinea pig depressed luckily we’re getting two! One female and one male hopefully they’ll be happy with eachother :)

@@commenter594 How’s it going?

[@soundlessmelody7618]

I have a hamster, his name is BMO, 4 months old rn. Thinking about getting a Guinea pig because the petshop I saw them at has a small shitty tank/cage thingy with 3 of them in it. Thank you for the advice!

[@evib7244]

Amazing video, thank you! I'd like to get 2 guinea pigs, but I travel a lot (1 hour trip with the car, normal road, once a week or once every two weeks to visit family-and then back home, of course). Will these trips be super stressful for the piggie? Would it help if I sit in the rear seats and soothe it on my lap? (By petting and maybe giving them a treat).or should getting them be out of the question?

[@JJ-nd5hd]

im currently on break but when i go to school im away for about 6 hours a day in the week is that to much time away from my guinea pig?

[@vickywright54]

Omgosh the little brush 🥰🥰🥰

[@everythingangie5547]

Is it ok to wash the blanket I but in there cage for poop and pee or to vacuum?

[@GuineaPiggles]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean but fleece liners need to be washed regularly and you can use a handheld vacuum for the daily poop clean.

[@cough464]

I know sometimes they poop on the fabric but sometimes do they pee on it too?

[@GuineaPiggles]

Yes, they will pee and poop but if you put the hay in a safe hay manger with a litter tray underneath and put a bit of hay in the litter tray, you'll find that they do a lot of their pees there as they eat the hay. Check out our video on how to do a full cage clean and you'll see our set up is like that - hopefully you'll find it useful :)

[@redmancubillo4162]

is it ok to have same gender as pairs. i just dont want them to multiply without plans.

[@GuineaPiggles]

Yes you can have 2 males together or 2 females together :)

[@michelleanderson7828]

Did not know that they have such a long life span! I need a bigger place...lol. One of my kids wants a guinea pig...we have 2 dogs and a very social bearded dragon who chills with the dogs...lol. How are guineas with other animals?

[@RaymondSmith-if6ge]

Hello Michelle how are you doing today

[@fuzzysisters4434]
