6 Golden Rules of Guinea Pig Care

[@tashifsyed8574]

*You don't own guinea pigs* *You own balls of fluffy cuteness*

[@fruitsmoothie3488]

this should be the care guide at petsmart/petco.

[@NoRevengeNeeded]

U dont know where u live but ours give us hell before they sell us one. Education 101 before you buy.

[@Katie-gt6lt]

Michelle Thomas they get all of their animals from places that mistreat them and they kill the ones that have anything remotely wrong with them. Also they sell over priced and small cages (and they sell those everywhere) and not all of their food or snacks targeted towards animals are good for them. Last time I was there I was getting a bird because I fell in love with him and couldn’t leave him. They tried to sell me a $50 cage that the bird couldn’t even flap his poor wings in. I didn’t but the cage of course I told them I had one at home after they talked my ear off telling me how to care for my animal incorrectly and then gave me a paper with quotes contradicting almost everything the employees told me.

[@videlonlyfans8495]

Katie I went to petco looking for a bird but I gravitated towards the guinea pigs. The employee talked my ear off but she made it fun and was really nice and helpful. The guinea pig I picked might be gone tomorrow but he was really calm and wish I could buy him instead of a random one tomorrow

I live in the U.K. So actually in England it's pets at home

[@notic0al899]

My guinea pig had a brother who used to beat up on him, the brother died, and our guinea pig seemed a lot more happier, and he just seems like such a chill pig and enjoys his time alone, he loves his home and really loves snap peas He used to be very scared of us, and run away, how he takes carrots out of my hand before I put them down. That's Alvin's story And a run on sentence

[@absolutely_nobody28]

My first set of boys were together in the pet shop. They got along extremely well (I think it's probably because they had a very easy dynamic. The submissive pig was content letting the other pig be in charge) and then the submissive pig died very suddenly. Since then, I have kept the remaining pig by himself, but in the same room as my two other pigs and he has lived perfectly happy since

[@kennabarb]

ForRealz ? My fourth grade reading teacher is QUAKING

[@elisee1315]

That a little sad cause the brother died 😢

[@lindsay9298]

my guinea pig had a dad that we had and he died last week from cancer I don't know if he's good or not he's acting really weird he usually hates kisses and pets but now he loves them please help

[@sxnnywaffles4401]

Not being rude and yours may be happy but you could buy a spayed female from an adoption place and then that female will love having you as an owner

LOLLL if i get a guinea pig i might do that too

[@fazeonyt5780]

I got a guinnie pig from a breeder name Benny and he's 6 months

[@sbd_14_09]

Please do your research before getting any pet. And also, if you're planning to buy any other animal, please _adopt_ it. By purschasing an animal from the pet store, you are supporting an Animal Mill. An Animal Mill is where animals are getting exesivly bred over & over without anyone thinking about the animal's _health_ . So by buying a pet from the pet store, you're making the shop order more animals for the spot of the pet you purschased, so, that means more animals are getting exesivly bred over & over. Instead, buy from an _Ethical Breeder_ An Ethical Breeder is someone who breeds animals to help develop their _health_ & _temperment_ , since the animal mills ruined that. Adopt, don't shop.

[@atlaskanik]

The first one is absolutely true. We only keep two guinea pigs and they have an age gap, and when our guinea pig, Dan, passed away, the other one, Jim, was alone. He barely did anything all day, he was completely depressed. So when we got another guinea pig, Jack, he was much more active and happier. It just shows how much they are affected by their companions.

[@aidanthecat3756]

I have a guinea pig named Gizmo he's a Calico guinea pig and he needs hay 24/7 it if I don't give him hey he's going to squeak for 24/7

[@piggielover1236]

[@abigailchavez111]

@@jocelyndiaz4649 same for me 😂

[@nesquick9681]

PiggieLover 123 No, he doesnt. Research it. Male guinea pigs can do just well alone. Also, if you raise a newborn/ young Guinea pig without a partner, they will be just fine.

[@leah7716]

I have two guinea pigs, and once I saw one of them freeze. The other one kept lifting the other's nose with its nose until it went so high it fell over. Cutest thing ever

[@squishidestiny]

That is actually a show of dominance. Guineas placing their nose under another's chin and lifting their head up is another way of them basically saying "I'm superior". c:

[@BeHappy-cp4fv]

Here is a tip. Guinea Pigs love carrots especially the top leafy greens of the carrot, that is their favorite part. An easy way to give them this treat is to grow your own carrot leafs on your own window sill and it is very easy. When you buy carrots at the grocery store simply slice the top 1 inch of the carrot off regardless of whether it had leafs on it or not. place it in a glass of water without letting the top of the carrot be submerged . I use three toothpicks to stick in it which holds it up . Then place it near a sunny window and within one week you should see the leafy tops begin to grow. after about 3 or 4 weeks you can cut the leafy greens off to feed your guinea pigs and keep the carrot in the water and it will keep growing the leafy tops. Grow as many carrots as you want. Change the water in the glass once or twice a week. You can also do this with celery. And never throw out the middle scraps of a green pepper such as the seeds because guinea pigs love them. They also love the outer leaves of corn as well as corn on the cob. They also love the dry outer skins of onions.

[@おちんちん-m2b]

My guinea pig despises carrots so much he literally throws them away with his mouth and leave them on the ground.

[@carrieon2912]

Hmm I thought guinea pigs couldn’t have any part of onions?

[@salliefouts4725]

They love carrots because it's like pure sugar to them. Just don't give them the carrot part every day or it causes bloating and diarrhea.

[@whitneyboykin5219]

Mine eats to much carrots so I now start give him some pellets

[@Momo-zs9nk]

You don't know that

[@shelbyjayde616]

Your piggies are so cute! These tips are great for new owners, good job on this vid!

[@Grace-ed5em]

I 100% AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS . They are LIVING creatures and most definitely not toys . I wish people could under stand that . THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AMAZING PIGGIE OWNER❤️🐹🙌🏻 love you and your piggies

[@bungorogers7067]

HUGE tip for anyone buying hay - a bale of timothy hay (75-100 lbs) costs the same as a 2.5 kilo bag bought from a typical pet store (@ 25.00 - 30.00). I spent hundreds of dollars before discovering this. The farm suppliy store I deal with (Sharcare in Nanaimo on Van Island) also sells part bales and customer stuffed garbage bags of hay for reduced amounts. Be aware if you go to buy a bale from a farm or suppliy store they are heavy, difficult to move and will triple their size if broken down - I usually fill 3 - 4 large rubbermaid containers and a 3 - 4 industrial sized garbage bags for storage. Love your channel - keep it up!

[@PhillyGamer616]

Oh my gosh this helped slot cause we were giving our guinea pigs baths like every 2weeks, we are new pet owners its our first time owner a guinea pig thanks for the help

[@PopcorningPiggy]

Fantastic rules! Totally agree & they are so important! So sad to see so many people not following all these important rules!

[@leaf7392]

Popcorning Piggy I have a friend that doesn't follow most. Like the space one. Her 2 guinea pigs are in a cage that is like the size of my armspan. They rarely get floor time, and they are definitely less happy than the guinea pigs I raised (and got from them because they accidentally put a male and female together). They feed their guinea pigs pellets and hay, veggies once a week. I fed my guinea pigs veggies everyday, and they were always excited to see me. My friend's guinea pigs are always hiding unless there is food. Makes me sad to see those guinea pigs, but they don't think of me as the expert since I got guinea pigs from them and therefore I've had knowledge for less time :/

[@PopcorningPiggy]

LinaRuiting Xu that’s so sad to hear. It’s so sad that so many people still use outdated & old information because they don’t keep themselves educated as time moves forward. I hope they learn soon for the guinea pigs sake!

[@leaf7392]

Popcorning Piggy yeah I just sent her this video, but if she watches it, she's most likely not gonna do anything because the guinea pigs are kinda her mom's, and they are following pet shop advice because they volunteer at one (Petco)

[@DekodaWatchesTV361]

@@imbored4929 I owned one guinea pig for three years and she was perfectly happy and content. I tried to introduce her to other guinea pigs but she just didn't seem to like them. I guess it just depends on the gender, personality, and breed. Nugget is a female Himalayan. I got her when i was 11 years old but had to give her away when we moved three years later. Shes staying with some friends right now. Its been a couple of months and my parents are getting me another guinea pig.
