[@GuineaPiggles]

It sounds like you're a good piggy parent! :)

[@AllieXwilliams]

Update on my piggies: they still don’t like me very much, I can go I to the room where there cage is and they run away from me. When I pick them up they let me hold them tho. There cages gets very stinky so Deep clean it about every 2-3 days. When I put them in a laundry basket with a blanket underneath they run from me at first but then they seem to enjoy my pets on there ears. Overall I love my pigs but I wish they would feel the same way about me!🥲😁😚💗

[@zoe-ci3xv]

Hii! I have a question as I’m wondering about getting a guinea pig! 😊 Do they need to be able to graze on grass? I live in an apartment and it doesn’t have a garden! Also another thing is, do they get scared by dog barking? People walk their dogs by the apartments and the bark SO MUCH! It’s ok if you can answer! :)

[@AllieXwilliams]

@@zoe-ci3xv loud noises do startle the piggies. Mine are upstairs and away from my dogs so they don’t hear them. But over time i think they will get used to the loud barking from time to time. It might take a little longer for them to be comfortable because of the shocking loud noises tho. I have taken my pigs outside to play with the kids I babysit(on the grass) and they liked it, but it’s not a necessary need. I’m not the perfect pet parent but that is what I have gathered throughout my pig Journey so far. I hope this helps at least a little bit!😁

[@zoe-ci3xv]

@@AllieXwilliams aww thanks! Also, are they noisy at night? As in can I keep them in my bedroom? I have this shelf and it’s very wide and big was I was thinking of getting a big hutch and putting it under there, (with lamps etc so it’s not dark when I’m not in the room) 😊

[@colorfulsomething5008]

Very nice that you mentioned the cage size and how most sold cages are too small. And also that you should never have one alone, but always two! That is sooo important and everyone getting guinea pigs should know this.

[@ashley-ik9hj]

I had guinea pigs when I was like twelve years old; I didn't research about guinea pigs or anything - and unfortunately the passed away. Now that I am more mature and older I have decided to get some more [I'm 19 now]. I've been watching more videos and now I am more educated about them. :)

[@GThunder_Gaming]

WE ARE THE SAME! I got one when I was 11 and back then I don't know how to take care of them so they also passed away. I just turned 19 today and I miss taking care of guinea pigs so I'm thinking about getting them.

[@lilyannabelle2470]

That was the same with me. We got two guinea pigs when I was 9 and now I’m 18 and want to get guinea pigs again, so have done so much research to make sure I’m more educated now about them and their care ❤️

(Each) -Make fun little games for them to entertain them! I love my little herd! ❤️ 3 boys: Apollo, Patch, and Bruno 3 girls: Cleo, August, Lady

[@GuineaPiggles]

Fantastic! You sound like a brilliant piggy parent! :)

[@beverleybalshaw9119]

I too have a Cleo 😊 And two more girls, Phoebe and Sheba. Sadly my elderly gent Tipsy, had to be put to sleep.😢 I held him as he crossed the Rainbow 🌈. Oh yes we cry, but I have always stayed with my pets large or small, you owe it to them to show you love them, as they loved us unconditionally all their lives 💗 I also have a big space for my piggies. I don't intend reducing it, even though I'm almost on the pavement outside....on the sofa.... watching TV!! lol 😆 My girls have a 3x5 grid and floor time for "play time" and love to zoom. They are going for a nail trim tomorrow, as they're young and still skittish, I want them to have a good experience, without any mishaps!😱. They are coming out of their shell and climb on me for treats, but scream blue murder when picked up, no matter how gentle! 😅 They do calm down, when THEY are ready. They may never be like to be picked up, but kindness and gentleness ALL THE TIME is the key to a piggies heart, (🐹 don't forget the treats!! 🥕🥬)

Actually very often guinea pig stress themselves out a lot....l think we did a mistake by having too.... from time to time we have to split them in different cages and slowly introduce them again, for some time they are good and than again same process. I feel my guinea pig that was alone lived stress free life,was much more comfortable doing stuff, interacting with us and we spent quite a lot time with him, sister would do her homework and guina was sleeping or cuddling in her lap.

[@ReadyorNot811]

@@lavalampa3254 the cage was probably too small for 2.

[@lavalampa3254]

@@ReadyorNot811 That definitely can't be the case cause they have a whole room on display and cage itself isn't small, it's always open and they jump in and out when they want....they attack each other even outdoors, they're both males tho but l don't think it would be different in case of females, we fostered females in few occasions and l find them more aggressive.

I have 2 guineapigs, both girls. I have alot time for them, they do have hay all the time. And ofcourse vegetables, but not really any dandelion leaves or anything like that because well, there's already LOTS of snow on the ground. Lumi, is a bit bigger pig, compared to her sister Lulu. Lumi loves attention, right now she is sleeping on me. So i don't want to bother her, Lulu loves attention too. Lumi is white, and Lulu has white, black, brown, and dark brown colored fur. But the thing i really need to know is that how often should i bathe my pigs? I know bathing them too often will dry out their skin. So i want to make sure i don't bathe them too much, their fur is short and usually very soft. But it has started to feel a bit rough than usually. They are still young, so could that be because they are getting older? Maybe, but how much do guineapigs usually shed? I love my guineapigs, and i want them to be happy and healthy, so if you have time. Please answer if you can.

PLEASE read this all if you have a male guinea pig. If you have a guinea pig under 2 years. Hold him EVERY day and check his butt. If it looks red/swollen and or has poop stuck. Try and pull/squeeze it out or he will die! Dont make the same mistake i did.. i lost my piggie due to this :( if your male guinea pig does not move, eat or drink, Rush them to a vet! Please.

They greet me every morning and climb on me for treats, but scream blue murder when they're picked up! 🤣🤣. So I'm expecting a good ear-syringing !! 🤣🤣 (for free!) lol ! Take Care and Keep Safe

Thank you for the tips!

[@GuineaPiggles]

You're very welcome :)

[@softsl0th141]

What is kind of strange my parents just took me to go get my guinea pig without telling me nor any knowledge. Though he is living and gets lots of treats and love! (We only have one but we give more attention to him)

[@GuineaPiggles]

Many people don't realise how much effort takes to take proper care of guinea pigs. They do like to be in pairs so perhaps you could talk to your parents and show them this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmm2Z5V5o5uqrZo. Also, you might like to watch our playlist which has lots of videos on how to care for guinea pigs here kzbin.info/aero/PLO-32fuH7734RK7tGthv43R7Lmv17LHqF

I'm getting guinea pigs that are about 2 years old. In 4-5 days and I'm hoping they live to at least 5 or 6. Their rexes or absyinnians (I'm not sure yet cause I've only seen pictures and they weren't very close up) one is albino the other one is a tortie with white. They are males and I don't know if their bonded or not. Also the albino is polar and the tortie is bear (see how they fit together)

[@GuineaPiggles]

Just make sure they have a nice big enclosure with separate hideouts and keep an eye on them to make sure they get along. Not all males do get along but fingers crossed yours will be good friends :)

[@aanavrin]

Thanks for these! I already got one, but yknow. Ill be frons wishing for a new cage for my guinea pig on christmas since they (still dont know their gender) are maybe going to get a friend

[@xpinkchristmasx]

I have a question: what if like you go out for a couple hours or something, would there still need to be someone there? Like your going shopping or to a soccer game or something

[@rowanheart8122]

My mom's coworker is offering us her two males, and we're considering it, although not all that seriously. Despite it not being a strong possibility, I'm doing all the research I can.

[@misteon_builds]

[@GuineaPiggles]

Don't forget to get a pair :) By the way, you might find page on our website helpful. www.guineapiggles.co.uk/how-to-look-after-a-guinea-pig/

[@onuryuksel3993]

One of my Guinea Pigs is very agressive. It doesn't let me cut his fur. He is a peruvian Guinea Pig. What do you suggest me to do???

[@GuineaPiggles]

It sounds like he may not be used to being handled so maybe take him out for daily cuddles to get him used to you. Do this for a few days and when he's a bit more chilled try slowly and carefully trimming his hair. But take your time and have some veggies to hand to distract him. A piece of Romaine lettuce always goes down well with our piggies!

[@Wishkittydog]

There cuteness are music to my ears 👂!

i am planning on getting one, and i am planning to take my pig on trips and vacations

[@AverieTheDoodler]

What if your parents don't allow two guinea pigs? Will another family member have to take care of it when you're out, or will you have to give it lots of attention?

[@Galaxy-mv9gx]

The cage shown at 0:31 was my starter cage

Very good video! All these facts you are talking about are so true for the pigs! As already having guinea pigs, I would totally recommend this to someone who is looking into getting guinea pigs!

I have two Lovely piggies Millie (girl) and Mac (boy) They get just the right amount of playtime, plenty of food, water and hay! I clean their cage every Wednesday, or when the cage needs cleaning! And I'm doing all the other stuff correct!(I knew nothing about guinea pigs and I have had them for two months now. I will continue to care for them forever ❤️ and they will never be rehomed because that's cruel and illegal. There is just one thing that I know is not very good but I am working on it, but I need to reduce the amount of calcium in their diet... Because they are peeing out white pee. But they refuse to eat much else so it is left to rot in their cage. So I still occasionally give them kale, (which is what is causing it) but especially Millie needs to eat more because she is also losing alot of weight each week (60 grams) so I have no choice in what to do except more kale. Please help. I don't know what to do about Millie's weight loss, or the fact that they won't eat much else except kale. Please tell me! (Btw I'm not allowed to send either of them to the vet my parents said if they die, they die.)

[@GuineaPiggles]

It sounds like you're doing a great job. Have a look at our video here for more ideas on what they can eat kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnSniHZuacqYfrs. We also have a long list of things on our website here www.guineapiggles.co.uk/guinea-pig-food-chart/. If Millie is losing that much weight she really needs to see the vet. There is also a powdered feed you can mix with water and syringe feed them with called "critical care" that will help them put on weight. Otherwise you could grind down the guinea pig pellets and mix with water and syringe feed. Perhaps you could try a bit of fruit such as apple or banana as they often like the sweet fruits although they shouldn't have too much as it could cause diarrhoea.

[@soaptj]

I've had a few rabbits over the years and I'm curious to see if it's similar to rabbits. I'm not going to get one myself however.

[@kristencatherine746]

Awe I just rescued a little few month old from a family member giving her bad care … I’ve never wanted a piggie or even seen one. So when I heard the noises she made I became in love ! Now I have a Guinea pig child I NEED to learn how to care for ! Yikes 😬

The one thing that made me a little bit sad is that what you said they should be in Paris and I like really like what she meant but like for me for my guinea pigs because I have three to live together in one lives by their self because that one is a troublemaker to those two and now I’m realizing why I want that guinea pig never wants to hang out because we used to have a strong bond but now we don’t I mean we still do but it’s like he’s just fading away

Your guinea pigs are SO. SO. SO. CUTE!!!!!

[@charlesaustin566]

I just got two guinea pigs from my nephew. He is only 8 years old and did not know how to take care of them. They seem very frightened and docile. Also after a while of keeping them together, one attacked the other and so they have been isolated ever since. They seem like they need legitimate rehabilitation. I'm not exactly sure what to do. I know they need bigger cages but they seem like they just need a lot of time in a better environment. This is exactly what happened when they got hamsters.. they didn't know how to take care of them and so I adopt them.
