My piggie is a happy lil man. He popcorns pretty much daily, gives kisses, always says hello, hops onto laps when he can, gets fresh veggies daily, green leaf lettuce, and bell peppers, as well as the urinary support suppliments, and vitamin-C oxbow suppliments daily. Has had recent vet visits due to needing to travel on a very safe airline with us, due to us moving. He was very healthy, clean bill of health, and he handled the flights like a champ. He's in a smaller temp cage, because we're in an appartment atm, but I'm going to buy him the same midwest cage that's like 8 sq feet that he had before we moved, once we move into our home. He really loves people, has mirrors hung in his cage, which he eats around, and gives kisses to. He also has a guinea pig plush to snuggle, which is in storage, but once we move into the house, he will have that to snuggle. He also has his shows to watch, they are at a low volume and he is super comfy with that. He will watch pretty much anything, munch on his oxbow pellets and drink some water while watching. He also is comfortable enough to sleep wherever, outside of hideys, and all snuggly with his eyes either closed or mostly closed. He's got nice fleece, and toilet paper rolls to play with, and plenty of orchard grass hay. He is incredibly friendly, even towards dogs, of course he's safe inside his cage, and is always monitored. My dog will try to bring her toys over to his cage, and wants him to come out and play with her, and of course, I won't let that happen, but it's good to know she thinks of him as a friend rather than prey. He will come up and say hello, mostly...they just kinda sniff eachother through the cage, and she tries to eat the hay off the floor by his cage, cause....y'know hay gets EVERYWHERE. Anyways, he's very well taken care of and happy. I did months of thorough research before even getting him. And while at the airport, he was such a good boy, and was loving all the attention he was getting from people walking by. He let two people pet him. It was super cute. He is 2 years old now, and a very handsome, smart, and tough little man, and I tell him those things every day, and he popcorns when he hears me say those things. He's my little man, and I love him very much.

Check their body language well. They feel insulted when you don't call their fast-waddle "running". They have a reputation to keep up! When a guinea pig waddles towards their personally designated space (they each develop a preference) and then patiently waits to be picked up, they translate it to their peers as "I fled as fast as I could and fought valiantly, but I was cornered and had to endure cuddles and treats!" But, yeah...when they seriously dash around with scared eyes, they're not playing and not having fun. Always check the body language.

Great video. I've never heard "girls in threes" before. One of my pigs, Cupcake, likes lap sitting completely wrapped in a towel with just a bit to peek out of. Believe it or not she will snuggle up in there for 30-40 minutes and not pee. Sometimes I take a little couch nap with her wrapped up on my stomach after working outside. I'm never worried I'm keeping her when she wants to go back, because she always emerges and tugs on my shirt when she wants to go home. Nice way to wake up, so the whole afternoon doesn't escape me. But really... 40 minutes and doesn't pee. She eats the least veggies in the group by far, and drinks the most water FWIW.

Much depends on the individual guinea pig. We had a female that would just sleep on my lap, and never peed on me. She would sometimes eat some poops, but that was just before lying like a pancake and dozing off. Our current piggies don't sit that long, and usually start to point noses towards the cage, and/or nibbling on the towel or clothes they are sitting on, signalling it's time to go back.

My roomate bought one guinea pig a couple months ago to keep her small dog company. I was so angry with her for doing so. The poor guinea pig did not want to play with her dog. I was furious and told her she was selfish that she should have done her research before bringing a guinea pig home. Now her dog of 8yrs died. She has this one lonely guinea pig that I have been caring for day in and day out because apparently she's to depressed to do so. Now I am trying to find another home with other guinea pigs for her. Because she wants to bring it back to the box store where it originally came from a 2x1 fish tank. I said no way. I'll care for her until I can find a safe place for her to go. Thank you for all your videos they have been very helpful to me on caring for her. And believe me she is cared for 100% I give her so much love and clean her pen a few x a day. Feed her 2x day always had hey. But I know it's still not enough. She needs another piggy to play with not me. I guess I needed to vent. Some people are just so selfish and don't deserve to own pets/ animals.

My guinea pig doesn't give any sign that he's gonna pee, he just sits like normal and goes on with his life lol. Also when I first got my pig, he would bite me a lot, I was told he was very aggressive and shouldn't be paired with another pig. But after about 2 weeks he stopped, he only bit when he was uncomfortable or unfamiliar with someone. He has been really happy, popcorning and such. Infact I'm tearing up thinking about it, I'm just so happy for him. I extended his cage so he has a lot more room, and am looking forward to getting him a roomate. I do need an adult boar, because my pigs an adult. I'm glad you made this video, some people don't understand how to properly take care of their guinea pigs, and this helps them be happy :).

Tips for a solo angry piggie, (he’s been very aggressive with other piggies and let’s none of them near him), he has a large c and c built cage. He’s bitten two people, hates being handed for any amount of time. He’s been on several vet visits to no solution (he has fits). He has a routine, veggies and cage toys. There are three other pigs in the room with him but they don’t share a cage so he has company to a degree. He sometimes will let you pat him when he’s in a good mood and that’s really it!

One thing I used to use, was a washable yet waterproof baby pad when holding the pigs. We had a few of them, so if it got dirty, oh well, just give it a wash. Also, we would clean the cage everyday. Just pick out icky spots with a cat scoop, and put down some fresh shavings. Completely wash and put down new shavings every week. Also, every night after dinner, we would block our kitchen off from the living room and let the pigs run in the kitchen. They loved run time!

I’ve never been bitten or clawed. Funny how some pigs have food preferences. This one loves strawberries but not raspberries. He adores a whole ear of corn with husk and tassel when they’re available and will eat it down to the corn cob, and he’ll devour a 1/4 orange leaving the peel.

Indeed, we often misinterpret unwanted behavior for hate, or disliking us, but there is often a good reason. When I swoop down with my hand, our piggies shoot away for the nearest hiding spot. When I come to their level, then gently put my hand inside the cage, they come sniffing it, maybe a few licks, and are totally comfortable with me being there. These animals don't hate you, but they sometimes don't understand our intentions, and we don't understand the meaning of their reactions.

I remember once I was with my guinea pig and he didn't want to pee on me so he got off me to pee then when he was done he got back on me

I have 2 guinea pigs and I have divorced parents so I can’t always be with them and that’s why I feel like they are scared of me and they run away when I try to pick them up and then I don’t wanna hurt them so I give up:/

Don't ever give up, just remember that they're little small prey animals but you can bribe them with food always greet them with whistles and squeaks and bag crinkles and treats

I have just gotten a guinea pig 4 days ago and a guinea pig is already used to me kind of at first he used to run away whenever I stood up for my squeaking chair my chair squeaks terribly it scared him but now whenever I speak with my chair he doesn't care anymore also my household is a lot of yelling so he used to hear Miguel used to hear my mommy and now when we're yelling like her right next to him he just doesn't care he's cool with it and his name is Benny whenever I call by his name he knows that there's about to be some sweet peppers and some special leaves when I put him food in his cage he loves it he is also not scared of my dog which is very surprising cuz my dog is well a predator my dog is a hunting dog so yeah my dog barked him once but after that he calmed down cuz well my dad was kind of scared of him he didn't actually want to eat them when I put my hands in his cage and let him smell me he comes up to me and sniffs me and sometimes licks my finger sometimes I try to put them on the head in two times at work I pet him a couple of times he was cool with it then as of a bored I give him a special favorite treat which was a sweet pepper he loves them he goes crazy for him when he hears the crunch he just goes nuts he starts squealing yelling especially at night if he hears me come up at night and go somewhere and after that I open the fridge to get some water he wants like just one piece of a pepper sweet pepper he lives alone in a very big cage actually suddenly my mom does not like animals that much so yeah that's why I didn't get too many because she will not allow it however I take care of my guinea pigs I used to have 12 hamsters so it's really really nice to have for once again pig I understand the feelings of my guinea pig and I try not to scare him by making a loud noise or anything like that but I think my guinea pig will get used to the fact that I live in Israel and sometimes we have here explosions and sirens and rockets he's already used to a couple of things in my room can you waking up and me making a lot of noise he's not scared of it no more it took him 4 days to get used to it just like well just like it said on KZbin anyway that's what I wanted to say about my guinea pig he's really good

So great to see another informative video. I was thinking about adopting a pair of Guinea pig girls but now I see I need 3. Before watching this video, I wondered why most of the females available for adoption came in 3s and the majority of the males ready for adoption were in pairs.

i thought somthing good to mention would be, when getting a new guinea check their teeth and make sure they aren’t misaligned. i adopted my guinea from a local pet store.(i know not the best) but i got my other two from a breeder. anyways she had misaligned teeth so i new she needed lots of carrots to munch on and extra crunchy hay. (there are different hay textures and quality’s) higher quality hay is better for your guineas teeth and health

I have two guinea pigs one lets me pet him and the other just cannot stand me touching her. I was worried that she just wasn't into me. Your video, the very first thing you said, helped me understand so much that it wasn't the case. She comes to me to eat, which is nice, but the petting part eek, but seeing your guinea pig, that you weren't going to feed but pet, run and hide, made me feel happy that it was normal.
