I got a solo Boar I got from a petshop that I just couldnt leave him in the conditions he was in, he was alone separated in a tiny cage with no hide aways and just abit of grey looking hay and woodchips. Their reason for him being alone is that he was fighting so they split them up. he has bite scars on the ears so I was always skeptical that he was the aggresive one and if he was it was down to the small amount of space and bad care. So same day I built him a cage like yours and he was over the moon with the space the fresh green hay daily veg treats and all the hug time he wanted. I ended up getting a 16week old boar a month later for him since he did seem to respond alot to guinea pig noises from videos like yours. it was a tense few hours of just putting them in and letting them get on with it where after all the running, grumbling, and chasing they ended up sleeping togueder and since that day i can not take the little one out with out the big one crying/squeeking for him, its like he feels he is going to be alone again. so they have to come out togueder for hugs and run time.

My wife and I have recently acquired baby piggies at 3 weeks old. Having struggles but sparing no expense for them. My wife is incredible with making sure they have daily, clean, fresh veggies. And I have been having a blast hand feeding them snacks and playing with them. Thank you for all your videos and adorable babies. Your a very beautiful soul and your love shines through. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and allowing us to join your herd ❤. Thank you from me and the wife. And from Harvey and Penelope. ❤

Just got my piggy a huge cage lots of toys and little homes to hide in. He took to his ramp like a pro and loves the loft. He has done zoomies and popcorning of course, but mainly on our laps and during floor time. The first night he went CRAZY. The zoomies were nuts. He had me laughing so hard. I've saved some money because I work in a grocery store and the people in produce save things for me. My little guy LOVES celery leaves. So when they trim the celery for the shelf they save the leaves for me. Same with lettuce. Everyone at work knows me kids and all my furbabies. There's days I get someone saying "I look for your posts and pic's." "They put a smile on my face."

questions •can i use barn hay? •do i have to use a bottle for drinking or can i use a bowl? •how long do piggies usually life for? •what do you feed them and how often •how often do you clean the cage? •do piggies just use the restroom where ever they are,or do they use the litter?
@DuckWithIssues
@DuckWithIssues Ай бұрын
If the barn hay is clean then yes but a good hay is oxbow Timothy hay. You can use either just water bowl is more likely to be contaminated or spillable. Piggies will usually live up to 6 to 8 years. One pellet you can use is oxbow brand and usually fill it up once a day. I’ve only used fleece so I can’t really talk for other bedding but usually once a week for the big fleece because I also have little fleece pads where they poop and pee the most and they need switched out every four days. Daily sweeping of the cage helps too. They poop everywhere but if you do get a hay litter they’ll mostly do it in there and hiding spots. There will probably be some spare turds a bit everywhere though 😂

I am so appreciative of your videos. As a first time piggie owner I have made most mistakes that you have covered including an impulse pet store cage buy. I went back to the same store and bought a male that was in with my male hoping they would get along. Their names are Max and Nibbles btw. I just love them so much already. I am still a bit nervous handling them but will get better. They are very friendly. They went through the teeth chattering, mounting and rumble strutting and do fight a bit over their daily fresh hay so I usually place some in a second spot now which helps greatly along with 2 dishes and 2 water bottles as well. My C&C cage comes on Saturday and also 2 Guinea Dad liners so these boys will be super happy! I can’t wait to set the cage up for them! Neither would eat veggies when I got them until they were comfortable with us. Now both of my kids ages 4 & 6 hand feed them Romaine lettuce which they each get a piece morning and night and they wheek for it and their hay and every time I clean their cage- they just love me there talking to them and cleaning the cage or maybe they want more lettuce or cucumbers lol. Super cute. The biggest question I have is one of my piggies seems to have darker urine? Or is this indicative of needing a Boar cleaning? They were kept on the shredded paper type bedding at the pet store which I have done away with and have been using fleece baby blankets and burp pads and washing them after 3 days but spot clean 2x/day. All of the poops looks the same size and consistency from both boys so I am assuming it is urine. I was considering contacting a nearby rescue and asking them about it and about local vets. I’m sure they have lots of knowledge and do nail trims and Guinea pig pet sitting so sounds like good people to know. If you have a moment to address the urine issue I sure would appreciate it(or any viewers with a similar experience). Thank you so much again for all of your videos! You have taught me so much! ~ Char 😊❤

Now I was always an over-feeder to begin with, and I was always nervous to leave them to go to work, let alone on a trip. One time, my brother and I were going to drive to see my sister (I lived in Illinois, my bro in Michigan, and my sis in Indiana) overnight. I fed the pigs the equivalent of 3 meals of veggies, plenty of hay and pellets, water bottles all full (my herd was 6 at the time, I think). Well, on the way, we had a car mishap and were not going to be make it back for an extra day. I was frantic. My brother's best friend went to feed my piggies. He said as he went up the stairs to my apartment, he could hear insane wheeking (as if they had been left for a week or something - it had just been overnight). As he came in the apt, they were all begging, wheeking like crazy, practically trying to bust out of their houses! I wish I had video of this!

Helping guinea pigs in heat: make them too tired to fight by encouraging them to exercise. Chew toys. Extra petting (they're often upset and need comforting). Taking them and their friends out in turns. Setting the friend up in a quiet space in the cage to prevent conflict.

Love you, Sarah! Another amazing video as usual 😉 I have a question for you as well. How do I convince my parents that I need to add a third guinea pig to the herd? I think that it would REALLY balance out dominance issues. And if you’re wondering, I am the full owner to my guinea pigs. I buy their hay, pellets, toys, hideys, liners, etc. My parents pay for veggies, vet visits and help out when I need it, but I do all of the cleaning and looking after. Lots of people think that teens shouldn’t care for Guinean pigs. But I am not like others.

The comments on the bonding issue was very helpful. I may be guilty of not letting it go long enough but I'm so afraid if they are really fighting on how to administer first-aid. I cannot find a vet in my area so I intervein when a tussle begins. I have not put them back together for about a month but am going to try again. Sometimes, it goes really well and I'm hopeful. The next time they are agitated. Everyone is telling me it's because I have one neutered male and one in-tact male. What are your thoughts about neutering? (I do know his cage has much more odor to it!) BTW thank you for your videos. I rewatch them often. You are my "go to" and "how to" videos.

I love all your videos! They are very helpful. I just got 2 new piggies for the first time. Porky (white with brown nose) is 8 months old, Brought her back for 3 weeks now. Porky seems lonely, but she got used to me now. Because of this, I got her a friend, name Bacon (Brown with brown nose), who is 6 months old, just 2 days ago. Both are Californian piggies. The previous breeding environment was quite bad, not sure if it's because of that, Bacon is very quiet and timid. I couldn't go near her at all. Tried feeding her food, but failed. Porky is not helpful at all, keep trying to make fun of Bacon, chasing her around. What can I do with Bacon? Perhaps need longer time to bond with her?

If you want a rodent like a Guinea pig, hamster, etc., I would say there’s probably no beginner but I’m a Fairly New Guinea pig owner so I have no idea. But if you’re looking for a beginner pet in general I would say leopard geckos are great. They poop and one spot and I have 2 that are easy to care for

I adopted a piggie a while back and he's been by himself since before I got him would it benefit him if I got another

So I was giving our 9 month our piggies kale but recently our piggie vet said to stop kale…is Romain lettuce ok to give them? I’ve tried blueberries, blackberries, bananas, dried fruits and they don’t seem to like them, they like oranges and I do give them forage which they also love, what else can I try with them? Their 2 stubborn boys but they’d also my babies and I wanna feed them the best I can! We do give them Timothy hay all day everyday, fresh cold water, and if I don’t give them oranges I give them liquid vitamin C

I have a question, are you supposed to refill the pellets day and night or just one time a day?
@SqueakDreams
@SqueakDreams Жыл бұрын
Usually just once a day is enough, it's okay for the bowl to be empty some of the time, this encourages them to eat more hay 😊

Should we neuter our 2 boy piggies? Before I knew about rescuing, we had already got our boys from our local pet shop! They did have their first vet visit and shots etc but not neutered

Hello, i love your videos. My piggy recently has gut problems and i wanted to ask you what to do since you are very experienced guinea pig owner. The vets i visit cant tell me anything useful.

Hi! I think that you can give some advice- I have seen different minimums on how big Guinea pig cages have to be…. What would be the minimum cage size for 5 Guinea pigs? (I don’t have 5 Guinea pigs but this answer is always varying.) ❤❤❤❤ thank you!

Hi, I have five female guinea pigs in a c and c cage that is 8 grids long and 2 grids wide. They all get along very well but I don’t think they would be happy in anything any smaller. They would love even more room .
