My husband and I took one of those tables that kids can put trains and Legos on and converted it into a guinea pig cage. It is amazing. Between fighting the table with a second hand store for $20 and buying the racks and zip ties, I think we only spent 40 bucks.

I dont see how people use fabric bedding though.. thats nasty pigs.. pee ALOT.. and I am not wasiting water or soap and putting that in my washer where my cloths go.. discusting

Thank you so much for addressing these issues. You can never point out these things too much. I thank you so much for stating not to give inappropriate items to thrift stores. The thrift stores had a Rollin in the Hay ball which is dangerous to the piggies. Piggies get caught in the rungs. I was the thrift store the other day and they had a bag of non kiln dried pine bedding. I loved your guitar style background music 🎶. Great to see Bengal and Gari.

I'm very glad you brought up the common illnesses. It is so important to have a fully stocked emergency kit at home. With the kit I've put together I can treat almost all illnesses (except those that require antibiotics) at home. The other day one of my pigs had an ulcerated eye out of nowhere. I checked and there was no hay in it. I popped in some terramycin and she was good as new within a day. I possibly saved hundreds right there. I also do health checks and nails trims for my friends pigs. It's instinct at this point whenever I'm in contact with someone's pig I start checking it over 🤣

Tbh, I never trust pet stores in general. I remember the first time I got fish, I knew I needed to do a cycle before settting up the fish tank. So I asked a pet store employee about it. She said a cycle usually takes one day if I used a certain product. So I bought it ofc! I Used it in the new tank, waited one day to put the fish in. Unfortunatly, a few of my fish died from it. I was devistated, but it was my fault for trusting the pet store employee. Later down the line, I got guinea pigs. When I got them, I went to the store to buy some hay. I kid you not, they tried to sell me a pink, small hamster cage (probably not even suited for a hamster) and also a «premium» hamster ball for guinea pigs. I was shocked! I bought lots of panels instead, which means that they now have a huge area to run around, popcorn and do guinea pig stuff! :) Moral of the story: do research, and DON’T blindly trust pet shop employees.

I got her some proper feed, hay, a bigger cage, a soft bed and toys. She went from mellow and scared to playing, eating well and zooming through her hanging toys.

Best place for coroplast is local sign shops! Mine saves any misprints or damaged sheets for me. Because my cages are too big for standard sheets that can be transported easily, I do a double layer with ultra strong tape on seams, and the inside of the cage is unprinted. I use the Kavee panels because my smaller pets can't get in. My crew like SPS pellets, hay samples, and cookies.

Well, I was on the right track, she has signs of hormone issues. Crusty nipples and thinning fur on her sides (she is a silkie sheltie long haired). Please pray for her that she will be okay. I'm very worried about her. I'll keep you posted on how she is doing. Thank you kindly. 🙏😥💖

Processed snacks are limited to Oxbow Vitamin C and dried pea flakes. Our piggies eat about 2 cups maximum total of fresh veggies and fresh herbs a day. We have a neutered boar and a female piggy. Our female Gabby LOVES to take her fresh veggies under her Guinea Dad pouch and save them for later, so I must switch out that fleece liner out every other day. Even if I use 2 x 1 liners under the pouch, she pulls it out as nothing comes between her and her fleece pouch. They have many hidys and fleece blankets for snuggling but our female simply loves snuggling under her Guinea Dad liners with pouch. Our boar is easy going and sleeps all over their 10' x 10' C & C paradise. They also LOVE Small Pet Select Hay (1st cut and 3rd cut blended is the ticket) sprinkled with dried herbs and such from the same company. Thank you for all your very informative videos!

I noticed I learned a lot of the tips from this channel of Scotty’s Pets. Unfortunately one of the first piggies was older than we thought and he was biting at us. Couldn’t figure out why and then noticed he must’ve had testicular cancer. He had to be put down.

Hi Scottie😀 I have kept guineas for many years, giving hopefully a loving and healthy home including several adoptions (I only keep adopted pigs these days). I could not agree more with you on all your points!👍🎯 Plenty of room: my three girls have a whole room to run around in plus two cages with a gap cut out so that they can come and go as they please. I also dump a really cheap sleeping bag on the floor and they love to burrow and feel snug in it. Plenty of hay - 80% - absolutely! I think that sometimes people are only concerned with rodent front teeth (hence giving them stupid wooden carrot toys) and they don’t realise that back teeth need grinding down too. It has been my experience that nervous or unhappy guineas gnaw at stuff - I adopted a girl last year who came from a large herd (was bullied) and she gnawed all the plastic around the cages - she doesn’t do that anymore. She enjoys grass sticks (like the ones you recommended). A good guinea vet is essential - there are a lot of vets out there who have no clue when it comes to treating them and I have had some bad experiences of this, and yes, they can be very expensive pets to keep - you are so right when you say that guineas are NOT ‘starter’ pets - I have kept these beautiful critters for so long but I am still learning about them. I would add a couple of suggestions (if I may). In feeding pellets it is really important to store them in an airtight container because the vitamins (especially Vit C) is very unstable. Regarding fresh veggies, keep an eye on calcium levels as they can cause bladder stones - unfortunately I have lost two pigs to that. So always check the calcium levels of the veggies you feed them. My Primrose is almost 8 years old, I love her to bits (she is a re-homed ex-brood sow). She is a bit boney and a little bit stiff at times but she eats and poos like a trooper❤

Never thought piggies were so complicated but they're so worth getting educated on. Like a dog wagging it's tail when you get home there's nothing like coming home and hearing those excited weaks.

Buy your Timothy grass by the bale at a farm supply or feed store. A 100 lb bale will sell for what 10 or 15 pounds will at the pet store. Stores well in a trash bag if left open to the air. Get the vitamin C they need where you buy yours. Pull apart the Vit C capsules and sprinkle about 25 mg per pig on their veggies.

True about spoiling my piggies with veggies. They didnt eat their hay that much. I already shortened their daily dose of veggies and greens and I am happy to see their hay going out quickly. I am so happy that I am actually following all of your points almost to the point. The only thing I do is to use big hamster ball for my hamster to safely run around the house with my free roaming piggies so they dont hurt eachother. I bought two piggies only to realise their cage is way too small for them. I taught them to go out to free roam anytime I put their cage down but still it was bad. My partner managed to make a small floor cage and they have a ramp to it. Now my piggies freeroam the flat wherever they want. I taught them some manners, they learned where to pee and poop and we just found a great bond. Now they are like my little dogs running to me when I get home :-)

Having had many piggies, for treats we would give them salad bits, baby carrots, and watermelon rinds (not every day all day of course). As for exercise, we'd just let them run around the floor sometimes since it was safe for them and good exercise.

Right now the most expensive thing I’ve found is the fleece. Fleece definitely has s very high up front cost.

i try to catch Joann's sales when I can. There's no Joann in my state so I have to order online, but they often have coupons for free or reduced shipping. Only downside is their inventory system is buggier than a anthill so if they cancel your order just keep trying. It's a pain but saves me a lot on fleece in the end. I also hit up my local fabric store for remnants if I can't be bothered to wait 84 years for shipping (might depend on where you live though). I do make all my fleece items myself, so maybe what I save in money I lose in time? Though I actually really enjoy sewing and just put on a podcast or audiobook so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@TheGuineaCat also if you buy those fleece $3 blankets from Walmart and either cut them or fold them in half, see in some haul blanket in the center, there’s a fleece liner for around $10-$15 . But pre made are as high as $100. It’s nuts.

Oh my gosh, I have 1 momma and 3 rambunctious little boys that have me wrapped around their little paw claws!! Wanna trade? I need a female friend for my momma piggy 😉 I'm new to this & doing my best. We bought 2 bonded males that were surrendered to PetCo by another customer. A week & a half goes by & we've got 3 babies. Devastated, I had to take the dad back so now I've got 3, 2 month old boys in a cage and momma in a cage. I'm looking at getting them fixed so they can all share a big cage
