Excellent and informative video! :) I find it so interesting that in the UK neutering refers to fixing both males and females. Over here fixing a female is referred to as spaying. Your little cutie is just too adorable! I hope her and Ollie make the perfect piggy pair!
@BeckysAnimals10 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much BB :) I think a lot of people here refer to the female procedure as spaying too, spaying is removing the ovaries whereas neutering isn't gender specific because it just means removing parts of the reproductive system to leave them sterile. The vets I go to use the word neuter for both boys and girls so I normally use neuter to make it easier on the phone to the receptionists but some people use neutering for boys and spaying for girls here too :) I hope you and all the fuzz balls have settled into your new home well :) I'm sure little one and Ollie will be great together once I can shift these lice xx

Awww that happens all too often, pet shops overall seem pretty poor at this! (Of course not all pet shops are bad) It will depend on the vet as to the exact age they will neuter piggies, not all vets will so it would be worth ringing around your local vets. You might want to check when you have to separate the baby boys and girls too, once they reach sexual maturity you could end up with a lot more babies! Good luck x

@BeckysAnimals5 жыл бұрын
Neutering is unlikely to help as it doesn't tend to change their behaviour. Could you give them more space to get away from each other, extra water bottles, food bowls and hides so they don't have to compete or share and can easily get a break from each other? I have found this has helped in the past with two boars. They are also at the age when they will be reaching sexual maturity so may be re-establishing their dominance. You may find that it starts to settle down with time. Just make sure they are both safe and able to eat and drink. If it persists and one is not able to eat or drink or if they are fighting badly, you may need to seperate them. Maybe have a look into normal dominance behaviours to help you decide: www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/dominance-behaviours-in-guinea-pigs.28949/

@BeckysAnimals5 жыл бұрын
Yes it could be. If they are in a small cage, they don't have the same opportunity to get away from each other and have their own space so they can get on each others nerves. For two guinea pigs you want a minimum of 76 x 127cm but bigger is always better when you can, especially for boys who tend to be more dominant and territorial than girls. That hutch looks like a good size for two piggies. Make sure you have at least a house each but ideally three so they have options. A water bottle and food bowl at each end should help too and stop some of the bullying behaviour so whichever end they are, they can get food and water, at least until the behaviours settle down. I hope it helps, my boys used to go through phases like this, it usually works out but keep a close eye on them for signs of fighting just in case :) Maybe I should do a video on the topic.

Are they definitely boy and girl? Sometimes guinea pigs mount as a sign of dominance, not because they are mating but if you have a boy and a girl and neither are fixed, they will most likely have babies.

It would be great to get her a friend, there are a huge number of benefits to paired piggies. It would be best to let him settle in for a bit first maybe so he doesn't get too freaked out.

It can be called neutering for females anywhere, neutering just means the surgical removal of parts of the reproductive system so applies to both. Spaying is used only for females because it means removing the ovaries. Luckily he healed really well and the vets have given him the all clear :) When I got him done, the plan was so he could live with S and P. Since then we brought the new one home and the priority now is to get the new one and Ollie together so everyone would be with a friend.

I know male pigs often need more space than females, so I was thinking of getting 2 girls, but then I heard about the benefits of having a neutered boy and a girl as a pair. So now I don’t know what would be best. A girl pair or a boy and a girl pair. So you think the surgery is too much of a hassle if I could just get 2 girls? Or should I go the long way and get a boy and have him for a while, then neuter him, then wait for him to be infertile, and then get him a girl mate. I’m willing to go the long run. But idk if it’s worth it if I could just get 2 girls. Your opinion would be awesome!

Maybe have a room that is at an in-between temperature to give them chance to adjust :) If he already lives with any cage mates, I would bring them in too so he isn't lonely, also it means you won't have to reintroduce them later on.

It's up to you, have a long think about it and weigh up the risks vs the rewards. Maybe talk to your vet too and see how confident they are about performing the operation on him x

how do you know if its a boar?
@BeckysAnimals9 жыл бұрын
Natasa Milosevic A boar is a male guinea pig. Probably the most obvious outward sign is if they have testicles. There is an article on sexing here: www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm but if you can't tell, take them to your local vet or animal rescue and they will be able to tell you.

Shes acting like the surgery was expensive. Ha! Ha! Come to the USA where 250$ is average for a small animal spay/ neuter. God our health bills are fricken ridiculous

Your cost of living is cheaper. In England tax and rent is so stupid expensive. Our health care is all done though government which comes though tax. We are still paying Alot.

Petco sold us a 5 dollar guinea pig and told us it was a boy , and we put him with our other guinea who is a male and well a month later found out it wasn’t a male it was a Female and she gave birth to 2 baby’s. So petco sold us a female without us knowing :/.

I don’t trust pet shops.. I always check their sex even if they are 100% sure

I just came to brag about my dudes. Theyre the only real men i love 😁. Theyve gotten bigger, so, i feel like theyre my young men. I raised dem babies 😍🤗. I still catch them doing their popcorns & zoomies. But just occasionally. They used to do their "morning jogs" like clock work, but not anymore 😭... I had to separate them for a bit bc theyre being mean to each other. But sometimes i see them tolerating each other. Even being cute. Im not sure what theyre doing, but it looks like theyre "kissing" each other. Or smelling/grooming me/food on each other 😅? Idk. They dont sleep beside each other anymore. But sometimes i catch them sleeping near each other. But w/ a bit of the manly distance 💪... Or to the closest corner, near me. 😍 Theyre sleeping close to each other by the barrier i put up now tho., bc they miss each other. Little dudes cant ever figure out how they want to act. 🤣 At least they can be colorful w/each other tho 😁...

Thank you for this video! I want to get my male guinea pig neutered. I figured it would be better than having my female spayed.

Welcome to my channel :) I bought my fleeces from Primark or IKEA. They are usually sold as fleece throws. You could also buy fleece from a fabric shop, a home store or supermarkets :)
