Cleaning 6 Guinea Pig C&C Cages With Fleece

[@confusdsincbirth]

At 10:50 or so when you were petting Pecan and Little Foot came up behind her it looked like he was waiting in line for pets. ♡♡

[@tosharones2488]

Thank you for all your amazing videos. We wanted pigs for years but wanted our daughter to be older first. Now she's 15. We have 3 piggies. Be Be, Uni & Jolie. Without your help we wouldn't be taking care of them properly. We can do all the right things & spoil them in the right ways. You ROCK!

[@zoelecocq7835]

Angus looks so small next to Bullseye! It's so great to see more skinny pigs being taken care of properly.

[@myanimalsi3guineapigs1dog60]

Omg ! Little Angus I haven't seen a video of him this little until now so cute !

[@ErikaMae]

I'm seriously obsessed with all of your cage liners. I ordered some tonight! You are such a bad influence on me 😂😂

[@jailynn6764]

[@skinnypigs1]

[@thegunieapigsplace3883]

[@MsLucifer1990]

[@ombline.eq3]

[@toniholland2430]

[@samkreblin5042]

So cute! Super happy piggys!

[@skinnypigs1]

Thank you

[@madysen110]

I love your videos so much!! And I was wondering where you got your guinea pig bowls. Like the ones that you put their pellets in.

[@MartinelunafayeWhitear21]

love the my little pony print and dory print in love xxx and hello kitty so super cute xxxx love these videos xxx

[@kalirentenaar3654]

Hi Abby! I was just wondering if you come into contact or see many cuys in Canada? Cant wait to see the new piggie room!

[@skinnypigs1]

Never seen one in person no.

[@cyliefields1620]

+Kali Rentenaar I live in Canada and had the pleasure of owning a cuy, he was very friendly, but sometimes did not get along too well with his cage mate, they are quite a bit bigger then a normal piggy.

[@kalirentenaar3654]

Multi Animal Crazy Hello! I own 2 at the moment and they are very skiddish. They have both tamed down a lot since I brought them home. One of my girls would try to jump out of her covered cage just to get away from me because she was so scared. They are definitely unique.

[@tawree4871]

Hey love! I absolutely love watching your videos as I just got two little baby girl guinea pigs 2 weeks ago. Where do you get their names on the wall from?

[@skinnypigs1]

Beyond The Wall.

[@guineapigvlogs5326]

thanks to u got my Guinea pigs today, and I was prepared and I know now how to take care of them. Thank you btw, i have had a piggie before

[@elenakour441]

Abby you are doing a wonderful job with your piggies ! Iwas wondering why seymour does not have a friend ? Also is it optional for bunnies to live in pairs ? Keep up the good work love your videos

[@skinnypigs1]

He was a special case that I had the chance to take into my home. He took a long time to tame and trust and I don't wish to keep owning rabbits.

[@christina-vc2lm]

should i get fleece or bedding please help idk what the different it

[@skinnypigs1]

I have a video on using fleece for cage liners, I recommend watching that.

[@777._des]

Get fleece because bedding is messy and you will need to use spray to get poo out.I have bedding put I'm putting my guinea pig Skye on fleece

[@kalliland3043]

Yay! Can't wait for the basement

[@GldnGck]

@skinnypigs1 When you move all the pigs/Seymour. Will you still be keeping Calvin next to pecan and little foot? Since Pecan does like to check up on him and give him somewhat attention.

[@twomusketeers8920]

do you think i could build a cage out of a plastic kiddie pool with a wall around the pool as a temporary cage

[@jodiv2928]

Hey girl... Just wanted to say that my piggies were jumping into hay bags as well so instead of hay piles I made a hay rack out of grids.. it was quit easy. two grids standing up for the feet...two grids for the back straight up... and two slanted in the front.. I tied them together with zip ties.. then put a piece of tubing where the back and the front meet to keep a gap.. zip tie some cardboard in the inside of the back grids and front grids to keep hay from falling out.. and you have it.. I wish I could send you pics of it to show you what it looks like because I dont know if im explaining it clearly enough. The pigs absolutely love it because with the front having a slant to it.. it almost acts as a cover for them to feel like they are not in the open.

[@daniellebrecik3020]

where do you get all the cloths for the beding

[@sarahnabeelproductions6520]

In my guinea pig cage I have a layer of canvas, on top of that I have newspaper, then a towel, then a layer of normal fleece from joaans would this work??? Pls reply right away

[@kearstinnorton4524]

was the farmers hey you got Stanlee with the green wrap ? or was it just hay from a farmer

[@skinnypigs1]

Just hay from a farmer.

[@happytrails3396]

can you show us the basement pleaseee

[@livnicole6422]

Hi Hi! I have two adopted pigs named Bucky Barnes and Captain America. Im planning on building them a two story cage with soft bedding on the bottom and fleece on the top and I'm wondering if you prefer Plexi Glass or Grids and zip ties, if I'm doing plexi glass I'm only doing it half ways up on the bottom, but I'm not sure. Its going to be a wood structure. Thanks!

[@chase052]

What are the dimensions in c&c cubes for the Midwestern guinea pig habitat ?

[@kathysmith1353]

Hi skinnypgs1 is guinea pig aeg the same as people or like a dog year's × by 7 year old and rabbit aeg is ×by 10 do you take guinea pig aeg and × that by what number? Thank you from Kathryn

[@jasminagabrielle6329]

I just got two piggys a few days ago and they seemed to get along fine but these past couple days they have been fighting alot should I be worried?

[@pulancur1232]

can u please make a vid when u show us how is doing the new room ??? pleaseeeeee pleaseeeeeee

[@tyreezewtf5785]

yes yes yes I love these vids you do

[@sarahgill3138]

also i will say i am VERY jealous of how calm your piggies are when they get nail trimmings. i dont know if you've ever had to trim hedgehog nails but it is NOT as peaceful ahhaha!!

[@jaymesmartin2311]

Sarah Gill oh my Lord I feel you my piggies aren't happy about it but I can do them my hog oh heck no

[@sarahgill3138]

its very hard to clip nails when he's able to pull his arms and legs into his body and become a little ball of needles ahahahh i have to do it as soon as he wakes up so he's still sleepy and kind of out of it.

[@isabelshearer8079]

I am having trouble finding a table for a 2 by 4 c and c cage where did you get yours

[@sseane8551]

can you please do another morning routine and another cage cleaning? xo

[@sheuser13]

Hi I was wondering why you use fleece instead of paper bedding. Is it because of dust? I love the fabric choices.🐹 Sharon

[@skinnypigs1]

I have a video all about using fleece for bedding, link is in the description box.

[@malayslife1025]

where did you get your fleece bedding skinnypigs

[@skinnypigs1]

My video on that is linked in the description box.

[@malayslife1025]

Can you do a guinea pig vid today I really love em'

[@victoriatrammell7805]

I was wondering if you have ever used bedding instead of fleece? I've known you for a while, so i know you have been using fleece for a while now, but I'm just curious to know if you have used bedding?

[@skinnypigs1]

Only time I had any bedding was for litter boxes in the very beginning but seemed like a big waste because they all went to the bathroom on the fleece too.

[@jordaipurviance5308]

How often do you change their padding

[@flashlightpanda1423]

Hi skinnypigs1 i love your vids and piggys I saw you had a lot of hey I didn't know my pig needed hay how important is hay do I need to go out and bye some?

[@skinnypigs1]

In the description box is my video on hay, is near the bottom. It is 80% of their diet, in the cage at all times, so yes you will need to get some.

[@orangekitty1564]

For Apple and Huckle you should maybe safety pin down the 1 by 2 liner. Then they can't get under the liner.

[@Spilearanotama]

New to the channel! Unfortunately, I've only ever been able to own four piggies. The first two I only had for a few weeks because of a bad breeder, but my second pair lived for quite a while. Heather passed last year, and my little Ginger passed just yesterday. I've always used a cage with wood shavings as bedding, which I am used to cleaning. My question is how often do you change fleece bedding, and when do you do a more thorough clean? I don't think I'll be getting more piggies for a while, but when I do, I'd like to look into using the kind of cage style I've seen you and a few others use.

[@skinnypigs1]

Link to my videos on fleece are in the description box :)

[@Spilearanotama]

skinnypigs1 Ah, thank you! I'll definitely check it out ^^

[@tracelinhampton4368]

I haven’t seen any Chew toys in any of the cages is that because the skinny pigs can’t have them or something?

[@skinnypigs1]

This is an old video, I do like chew toys from Zoey And Lilo's Toy Box.

[@tracelinhampton4368]

Oh ok just wanted to see thx

[@saramatthews4188]

Skinnypigs1 how long does your 50 pound box last

[@AlyssaA117]

Where do you get the fabric hay bags? I have a metal hay feeder that doesn't hold much, and the bags you have look much bigger.

[@rhiiannonlouise1717]

Alyssa Adams You could always make one out of an old pillow case or top, saves money

[@skinnypigs1]

You can get them from Momos Menagerie or The Guinea Pig Store. Links to those shops are in the shops I buy from video, should be in the description box.

[@averyjackson37]

I don't have thick fleece so is it okay if I put fleece a towel and fleece on top of the towel and some pads on it too? Please reply

[@camryno5335]

Maybe do a video on how old all the pigs are and bun and say there birthdays becuase I'm always wondering

[@scragglecat2726]

Under Angus and Bullseye's cage , with the two grid high stand, do you find the need for support grids on the joins? I am upgrading my boys' cage, and adding a two grid high stand,during this summer and was wondering if I should purchase extra grids as support on the back and sides.

[@skinnypigs1]

It is all done with zip ties and is sturdy. You might want to just get a table for their cage though, is a lot of grids to make the stand with grids all around, 2 high and across the top.

[@scragglecat2726]

skinnypigs1 ok thank you I may look into getting a table

[@melissakendall9082]

Hope you can help me. I got a guinea pig last month. Mom sold it because kid didn't have time to take care of him. I made him a bigger home and made some fleece liners. I knew Milo needed a buddy so jumped at the chance to rescue another. Bandit was neglected in a small cage with another guinea pig and his brother was already adopted out. My problem is these two won't get along. I'm unsure how old either is but Milo has never been housed with another and he is the aggressor. Is there anyway to get them to bond?

[@melissakendall9082]

Milo was with his first family for almost 6 months and he was bought from Petco. The lady who rescued and was looking for a home for Bandit had no idea about his age.

[@cyliefields1620]

you can take either plexi glass or grids and seperate the cage into 2 so then each pig can still see and kind of interact with each other which is how i bonded my pigs when i had them, but make sure you check for signs of stress, bonding in this way can be stressful

[@melissakendall9082]

Multi Animal Crazy that's how I have them separated now. How do I know if they are stressed? I'm covering grid with fleece at night to make sure they get good sleep. Bandit seems to wanna play with Milo while Milo wants to tear the grid down.

[@skinnypigs1]

Highly recommend reading this: www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm

[@melissakendall9082]

skinnypigs1 Thank you! That was a great site. I already messed up as I didn't keep them separate to see if either is sick so I have to keep an eye on that but it is a new habitat for both. After reading that I think the fighting was just Milo establishing dominance and I separated them too soon. First thing tomm I will try again in a nuetral spot and rearrange this habitat so it will be different again. Thank you very much!

[@pamhalko3962]

How much were the liners

[@RealEthanWillis]

You should make a video on guinea pig bloat and what do to because I have no idea what it even is 🙁

[@keeganblake7850]

Hello I have a question one of my guinea pig's thumbs are sitting under the other fingers and it's happening to both paws. I wonder if it's a sign of arthritis and I should get it checked out or is it normal because sometimes it'll be without their thumb under their front paw. Please reply as quick as you can because I really need some help. Thanks 😊

[@ilenajack]

Hi Abby I love love watching you and I am 11 years old. I have two guinea pigs one is actually a skinny pig named Jasper and a hairy guinea pig named Oliver . I stay up every night hoping to get to see your new uploads.

[@skinnypigs1]

Thanks for watching!

[@rileypratt4195]

I'm interested in purchasing a C & C cage, but I was wondering with the uncovered cages if when they put their paws up, are they able to reach the top and jump out?

[@skinnypigs1]

They are 14 inches high the grids, never had a pig jump out.

[@brandieckard6694]

Not sure if this might help, but one of my girls had the same bad habit as little miss Raisin. I changed the one hay bag out for two smaller ones with only one hole each. The smaller size made it look unappealing to jump into from the top and the one hole kept her from walking in and using it as a hammock. I've switched to these until my girls get a little older/bigger and so far so good! And bonus, no stinky hay piles! Hope that helps. Btw, as always, you have the CUTEST fleece! 😍 Who did you order the finding dory and woodland animals sets from?

[@skinnypigs1]

BudgetBunny has the Dory fleece right now and I am not sure about the woodland, probably came from a ton of different shops. Link to the shops I buy from video is in the description box.

[@brandieckard6694]

Thank you! 😀

[@malayslife1025]

thanks im getting a guinea pig in September 24 im so excited ...5 more months from now

[@skinnypigs1]

Hopefully you are getting 2, since they are to live in pairs or more :) www.guinealynx.com/healthycavy.html

[@treetree3574]

you should put bricks on the 1 by 2 pad so that the pigs can not get under there also it would help trim the nails

[@greatyarmouth2011]

Hello there, another great video! I need your help/advice. Out of all of my pigs there's an elder boar who's currently on his own. I've booked an immediate appointment for the vets as lately he's been squeaking every time he's been pooping or peeing as well as that his poops seem weird shaped unlike usual and don't dry up like usual. What's your input on to what could be wrong with him? And do you know anything I could do as well as the vets to help him? He seems very distressed and I hate seeing my pigs in pain😢xo

[@skinnypigs1]

Sounds like he either has a bladder stone or UTI. They should do an x-ray or ultrasound to rule out a bladder stone. Sounds like he will need antibiotics and pain medication (metacam is great). You will just have to wait though to see what they figure out, make sure to get an x-ray, that will show what is going on inside.

[@ewitsbrooke5281]

I just luv skinny pigs but I can't find any where I live. I live in the USA

[@slonemagyar1034]

do they have any toys in there cage?-

[@heyitscarys6242]

Hey Abby I know you have made a video on Guinea pig noises and what they mean but when you where holding Apple and she was making that sorta squeaking noise is that a normal noise to hear?? And does it mean they are happy or sad?? Please reply becuase I hear that noise so much when I hold my pigs and I want to know what it means!! Thank you Abby and keep up the great work! You and your piggies are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@skinnypigs1]

When I was holding her cleaning her a bit, that was a nervous, anxious sound. I have a video on my FB page of me holding her on my lap petting her and that is a happy, content sound. They are similar but the one in this video she was just a bit more high pitch. It isn't anything concerning, just her saying she wants me to put her back down.

[@heyitscarys6242]

Okay!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@ashramos1111]

I was just wondering how often you clean all their cages like this? I'm trying to get a steady schedule of changing my piggies cages.

[@skinnypigs1]

Twice a week and in between I change beds, bed pads and 1by2 liners under their hay as needed, which sometimes is daily.

[@vickyvanderveer2368]

where do you get your Vitamin C tablets and urinary support tablets? and also I love your chanel so much all your piggies are so cute and you're and amazing piggy mom!

[@skinnypigs1]

Just google them and it will show places near you or online.

[@madelinevansaun4107]

How old are u

[@katereadz7070]

Do you shake off your fleece outside or into a garbage?

[@skinnypigs1]

I shake it outside and recently have shaken the majority of hay into a large garbage bag or just onto the lawn.

[@katereadz7070]

skinnypigs1 Okay thanks :)

[@cat-cw5wc]

Out of curiosity, do you ever have cuddle time with your piggies? Do your piggies like cuddles or being picked up? My guinea pigs love being cuddled and are very affectionate. It's interesting to see piggies who are tame but also don't enjoy cuddles as all the ones I've had have loved it.

[@skinnypigs1]

Yes I do cuddle, I just switch day to day who comes out. A lot of them don't really care to be picked up but are fine once you've got them.

[@kaylarose4915]

do you change your 1x2 liners under the hay bags in between full cage cleanings ? i find i have to change it out every 2 days or it starts to smell because of wet hay !

[@skinnypigs1]

Yes, sometimes daily or every other day for sure.

[@malayslife1025]

I'm buying one myself cause September 24 is my bday and all the money I get for my birthday is going towards the guinea pigs..excited...

[@serenityrodgers1139]

Is a 2by3 C&C cage big enough for 1 guinea pig? Also, have you ever had a problem with your guinea pigs jumping out, or into another piggies cage? My guinea pig climbs his cage but it's not a C&C cage, were going to build a C&C cage soon.

[@BoAKwon]

Lizzy 1029 you should have a friend for him, and a 2x4 is the minimum for two ginuea pigs, the bigger the better though.

[@serenityrodgers1139]

BoA Kwon - Beauty, Health, Lifestyle I have 3 other guinea pigs but 1 is a female and the other 2 males fight so they had to be separated :/

[@chelseaarcher6298]

I need help! my piggies live in a hutch outside and dad wont let them live inside, this afternoon i went to feed my piggies their veggies, i opened the hutch lid and i saw a RAT sitting next to one of my piggies, it ran off after that! Have you guys got any advice on how to stop it from getting into the hutch??!!

[@rhiiannonlouise1717]

Chelsea Archer How did the rat get in? Maybe fix any holes that the hutch has first and check your piggies for bites in case an illness is passed

[@chelseaarcher6298]

Ok thx for the advice!!!!!💞 there are gaps between the hutch and the lid of the hutch! I have been seeing littler than normal poops in the hutch, possibly rat poops,I think my piggies may have made friends with it!

Twice a week fully and change pads and the ones under their hay bags daily if needed.

[@katiefowler1362]

[@myhomeaquarium98]

OMG yes love these videos 😂😂

[@brynndusbabek108]

skinnypigs1. Can guinea pigs have broccoli? And if so how much What did that sound mean that apple was making?

[@skinnypigs1]

She was just a bit nervous. I don't feed broccoli because it can cause gas.

[@BoAKwon]

Brynn Dusbabek if you guinea pigs are on a full veg diet, meaning no pellets what so ever. And only hay, some forage here and there and veg then yes you can, but you want to give the guinea pigs about a month after you wean the pellets out of their diet, and if you feed them veggies only you would want to feed them about three to five times a day in incriminates of their veg. The reason why broccoli isn't recommended is because it causes gas when feeding with pellets. Pellets stay in the gi tract a lot longer (digestive system slow down kind) the broccoli would stay longer. Gas causing vegetables are a more fast-energy vegetables that need to be digested faster than other vegetables, that's why it isn't safe when given in a normal guinea pig diet.
