HOW TO: Pick up Your Guinea Pigs Quickly and Easily!

[@SqueakDreams]

Hello 2020 people arriving here! :) Please visit my channel for new videos :D kzbin.info/door/DcIorp6RUiO0cBUuEp6jQQ

[@pastelmoonlight9119]

Thanks for the advice I have a baby guinea pig and two adult guinea pigs don’t worry the two adults are females and my baby is a female

[@kevins1114]

I have my piggies trained to voluntarily get on my open hand. I started them out as babies, gently working my hand underneath each one, while offering a bribe of a piece of lettuce. Now, they voluntarily get on my hand because they associate that action with floor time. All I have to do now is say "Who wants to come out to play?" and put my hand in the cage, and they'll line up to take turns getting in my hand to go play. When they're ready to go back in the cage, they try to get in my hand and look at the cage. They do that because I sit on the floor with them during floor time.

[@jormungandrworldserpent6437]

Kevin S how old are your guineas? If they’re full grown then you must have huge hands

[@queenpotato2717]

Kitty Mittens lmao

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Smart. Sadly my Guinea pig is adopted And his 3 years old. The previous owner sadly must have never trained him to be picked up because he really cannot stand it. Hes fine if you pick him up in his bed but if you try to pick him up with this hand he runs like hes running for his life

[@fxxtails]

Hugo Stiglitz it’s because guinea pigs are prey animals so it means like a bird grabbing them with their claws my guinea pigs do it to

[@ammy6776]

This is a great way to pick up guinea pigs!

[@DailyDose926]

My female guinea pigs are dramatic divas.. When i pick them up they scream as if to warn the others of danger. My boys used to be cool about being picked up but the females squeled something to them about me.. and so now they squeel too.. But once I hold them they're all calm. The drama..lol

[@isitoveryet9525]

Lol My piggies are the opposite. My girls are so calm & collected, but my boys are as dramatic as it gets. One of the boys, Tucker, isn't as bad as Mikey....Mike always acts as if the world's ending when he has to be picked up. He's about as high strong as it gets lol.

[@chuuly1880]

Lmaooo

[@HugoStiglitz88]

My Guinea pig run slight crazy to avoid it but once I pick him up all he does is complain. I try to comfort him but nothing works he does really hates being picked up

[@chuuly1880]

My guinea pigs fly around their cage, I try to pick them up and lub them but they go like nauUuUuu when I pick them up I give em carrots so they are happy ;w;

[@littlecally]

You make it look so easy!! My youngest boy goes into stubborn mode and he won't move if I try to usher him elsewhere! So in that sense he's easy to pick up :)

[@zuzaplays5955]

I think some guinea pigs stay still because they are scared . In the wild birds swoop down and catch them so that's why they stop and stay still .

[@smyg1]

Zuza_ Plays mine scratched me right now :(

[@kihanag.2574]

EXACTLY. TRUE. CORRECT.

[@sallyfarky787]

i would like to have a fabric 'hidey hut' for my piggies - where do you get them from?

[@tjdevon0092]

Fab video, new owner of two guineas, one is very nervous and hates being picked up, tries to escape, he lasted less then a minute on my lap yesterday! He will take food from me and sniffs & licks my hand so thats a start. His bro is the boss and has sat on my lap twice, 2nd time about 5 mins, ate some lettuce and settling down, they are adopted and about 6 mts old, only had them 5 days! Thanks for your videos they are so helpful xx

[@kallankummel8351]

@TJDevon009, I have two myself, got them around July, one gives me kisses, both climb on my leg, and sit on my lap, one sleeps on my side, the other sleeps right beside me, all under the blanket if I try to pick them up, they will run, I know eventually I'll have to trim their nails, but as of right now, I have very fine sandpaper that when they play and run acrossd them, it will trim their nails

[@BudgetBunny]

I LOVE how Annie curled up in the bed like I'm not cooperating for this video heehee! Great video, Sprite was so calm! Phinni and Sammi love head pets and chin tickles in their cage but hate being picked up and are so quick to try and escape so I actually find waiting until they are in something like a tunnel the easiest. I just pick the entire thing up and encourage them out on to my lap for veggies. Oh you are now mentioning this hahaha should have waited until the end of the video to comment! ;)

[@josephjackson5330]

I always put a hand under there bottom and front feet to not staine them .from doing this for the last 20 years my piggies all jump up onto my hand when I introduce my hand .iv had piggies free romeing around the house and my bed as that all sleep next to me that are all toilet trained. Good great video 😊

[@lakinprice3068]

Hello squeak dreams!! I have been watching your videos for a while now, and just want to say you do a great job, and it is nice to know I'm not alone with all the other guinea pig owners out there. I live in the U.S. And there are not many people fond of guinea pigs it seems, and many think I'm crazy, but I love them, and have four of my own. I'm just happy I'm not the only one that cares so much about this animal, many people just don't give them a chance. Thank you for doing your videos, they are amazing :)

[@QuirkyCreationss]

Hi darling your videos are fab thankyou I’m new (2 weeks in) with two baby boars and not at all Confident in picking them up I feel it’s a traumatic experience for all of us at the moment 😂 going to watch your videos and try all your tips xx

[@justinhaney3087]

Wow, thanks! This helped a lot! I liked how you gave good detail and actually demonstrated it. It was funny how Sprite had an escape plan up the ramp Lol. Thanks again and I love your videos.

[@superpiggies5570]

Hey, couldn't help but realise how clean your cage is, I couldn't see one poo! I was wondering if you would do a video of potty training or whatever you do to make the cage so clean thx. PS. Do you clean it once a day?

[@kumdfftk7929]

I was thinking of asking you, about a hour ago, but I don't need to! Thx very much

[@carolfrazier2165]

Thank you!!! I just got a 8 month old guinea pig you helped me alot

[@abigailloving3289]

Just got Guinea pigs and this helps a lot!!

[@raenaroyer3568]

One of my guinea pigs, we have had her for about 7 months now, she is so quiet and loving. When I go to pick her up she just sits there.

[@guineahamsters7939]

Super helpful! I absolutely adore your piggies. I love sprites little wonky eye :)

[@kallankummel8351]

To add to my comment below, but now eventually I'm gonna have to trim their nails, they won't let me pick them up, so right now, I have fine sandpaper for their nails, they do run around the area I put the sandpaper at, so when they run across it and play, it will trim their nails, I've heard it's good, and others say it's bad, but most say it's good

[@freerealmsmegahack12]

Really helpful im getting 2 boy piggies soon im not sure how big a cage i will find but can i make up for that with alot of floor time?

[@JessandIzzGusington]

If you cant find a big cage find the lagest dog crate you can find and add a second fllor with some wood and then a ladder to get to it. this is what I will be doing with my guinnea pigs and ir is a decent size. Definately bigger than any small pet cage and giving them a lot of floor time is definately ideal! Hope this helped :)

[@unlikewyn]

Wow! I'm so late to this video but thankyou so much! this is so helpful and I've really been struggling

[@SqueakDreams]

Awh thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Glad the video came in useful! :D

[@cremekitties6493]

oh my goodness that you so much this advice really helped me!

[@iFrostNight]

Oh I think your guinea pigs are the sweetest things! They're quite precious. I do have a question: Sprite has sweet little eyes and I notice the white under them. I've seen a few pigs on KZbin with that same sort of thing. I was just curious to know what it was that makes that, whether it be the under of her eyelid or what? I assume it's because she's older, but I've watched your videos for a while and feel I may as well ask for the sake of my own curious nature. ^^

[@SqueakDreams]

+Frost Night | Video Productions Sprite has 'Fatty eye' where you can see some fat poking below her eyeball - some piggies get it, others don't, and it usually happens as they get older, it is nothing to worry about :)

[@paollabramont6462]

Thanks this really helps because I will be getting an guinea pig soon well actually 2 but I needed to know this a lot ! 😀

[@fxshionbxll5437]

Hi. Can you help? Im getting a guinea pig in a couple of weeks but im only getting one cause im not allowed 2 would that be bad for the guinea pig?

[@ineffablekatiex9679]

I have two guinea pigs Oreo and Twix They are both Boys and I have had them for 6 months but they don't act like a lot of guinea pigs strangely. Oreo will allow me to pick him up so if I reached down to him he will just sit still and I can pick him up but I have never trained him to be like this he was even like this when he was a baby even though this may seem great but it means that I can't usher him towards me so I can reach him to pick him up. Twix on the other hand runs away from you if you just tap him and he just runs to the farthest place away from me and just sits there till he hears the latch close so I can't usher him either one time this got so bad when I just opened the latch he ran to the other side of the cage climbed into the pellet holder (I don't have a bowl by the way there's a little holder on the side of the cage) and he got stuck. I'm pretty sure this isn't normal guinea pig behaviour but it would really help if you answered how I can stop them from doing this!!!

[@pinkiepotter119]

:o Same!!! My guinea pig is name is oreo 2! Oreo and mr. munchie, oreo is more of the playful one and he will let me pick him up. Mr.munchie will be afraid even if I touch the cage and runs away, still learning though :)

[@LlamaFluff]

Crazy Piggies Those awesome names made me chuckle :D

[@ineffablekatiex9679]

Thanks for helping me although it's not very necessary anymore as I got them a big new cage instead of a little small pet store one I actually ordered it a few days after I wrote this post. Their names our no longer Oreo and Twix I changed them to Astra and Butterscotch after I found out they were girls not boys hehe... Anyone thanks again for commenting😄😄😆😏 ɬɧąŋƙʂ!!!

[@ineffablekatiex9679]

And they are also a lot more tame as they turned 9 months old yesterday🐹🐹❤️❤️

[@LlamaFluff]

Crazy Piggies aww

[@mymischief1971]

What lovely tips & techniques for piggie owners!

[@pletter64]

I have these pink houses that my pigs sleep in. When we want to move them to the outside cage with grass (when the weather is good) I just put the house upside down and guide them towards the entrance with my hands. And when they get in I pick them up and move them to the cage.

[@emmahayward721]

You are so nice to your guinea pigs

[@techy9040]

And 1 more question, how often do you wash the fleece? And what do you you wash it with? Normal laundry soap? And do you wash the Hidey Huts, Cozy chairs, etc.

[@SqueakDreams]

Once a week at most but it depends how much they pee on it - litter trays help a lot! :) And yes normal detergent but no fabric softener it will stop the fleece wicking. Yes all the cosy items are washable :)

[@nataliabadillo4212]

This will definitely help me !! I'll have to practice and I'll have to tame and outsmart my baby guinea pigs !! 😄

[@littlesaresare]

I've found that open spaces are the worst for catching my pigs, because they are so fast and slippery (we nicknamed one of them Soap because of how difficult she is to catch). When they're in a house or cluttered area it's much easier to corner them and snap them up quickly, as opposed to chasing them around the cage for ages.

[@supposedtobedoinghomework2217]

Soap is such a cute name!

[@Ilmlba77]

Wow! Thanks, this really did help a lot! My guinea pig is still a little skiddish but still will eventually let me pick him up. But now I'm going to try starting your methods! :-)

[@beanie-basket8552]

Hi I'm thinking about getting a piggy and I was woundering if you have any tips or if there are some specific vids you think I should watch?

[@hollymiles4491]

I'm thinking of getting guinea pigs could u do a video on things I will need and costs and what you need to do daily and weekly.

[@ericevan8752]

Do you prefer fleece or whatever type of cloth you are using in their cage over bedding? It looks a lot easier to deal with.

[@welshgirl217]

Where are your beds from?

[@jellyfish2219]

It looks so easy! But my girls will just run away if I try to! Please give me more advice!

[@ashleyabraham2819]

Hello where do you buy the guinea pig’s beds from ? And fleece ?

[@piggyliciouslyfabulous7466]

This is so helpful thank you so much! :) I have a 4 month old piggy and she is definitely lightning fast haha. Also, your cuddle cups are really cute. Did you make them yourself??

[@FirstLast-qj4eh]

I have a 4 month old piggie too! It’s only been 4 days since I’ve adopted him (Theodore) and so far I can feed him with my bare hands and he gets super close to them so I think he’s comfortable... he won’t let me pet him or pick him up tho and I’m kinda scared that if I rush, I’ll lose his trust and he might bite me 😭 I’m taking things slow for now so he can bond and gain trust :)

[@madisons3455]

I just got my guinea pigs and they let me pet them and I've picked the one up, and he just sat there. No squirming, no wiggling, no biting, nothing. Should I give them some time or continue to pet them in their cage and stuff like that?

[@elnenethatguy7439]

When ever I try to pick up my guinea ip she always goes in her hideaway place so I bribe her with some lettuce and all I have to do is pick her up. P.s. My guinea pig is named sprite!☺️😇

[@BtBarbie123]

Those hay boxes, do they act as hay storage and keeping the poop mess contained or are they purely a litter box idea?

[@SqueakDreams]

BtBarbie123 Both! I have hay racks and top it up regularly so they always have clean hay available for eating :)

[@heyyitssofiia]

I loveeee ur guinea pig cageeee

[@mikecandle8706]

How often should you pick up your guinea pig? like once a day...or twice xD And if you go to pick up your piggy but they are getting very stressed should you just leave them,give them lettuce or wait a bit?

[@Crazypanda12321]

Azrai Jefferson Brooman I'd aim for once a day if you can. When you get them out, sit with them on your lap and give them something yummy. They'll associate that with lap time and be calmer in future. If they're getting stressed, just give them cool off time, maybe about 10 minutes, and try again. Also, don't only get them out for nail cuts. They start to fear coming out because they're used to hating spending time with you. I know I'm not her, but this is an old video so I doubt she'd reply.

[@dishonourablemention3341]

twice a day so you can take them out give them a break then take them out again : )

[@lifeanellaxx2332]

I used to pick them up every day and they were quite scared and always ran away until I stopped and fed them vegetables more and talked to them instead of picking them up they no longer run away from me when I go to the cage.Also tip:Instead of using your hand get a bag or a tunnel and place vegetables in and then they will go in and then pick it up and move it.My guinea pigs don’t care that they’re in a bag being carried they just like the veggies.

[@kallankummel8351]

My two little handsome rugged fur babies love crawling up on my leg and sit on my lap

[@sillystring4069]

I can't do that because I don't have a cnc cage my cage has bars over the top and it has a little cage door but I can make door into latter and she will come out of her cage or I pick him up when he is sitting in his bead

[@adencarlson3347]

How do you litter train the piggies? Or do they just learn to do so if you put a litter tray.

[@SqueakDreams]

They kind of learn themselves but never fully! :P

[@CDN_Bookmouse]

I would suggest looking for a spot that they usually use as a toilet (mine have always used a corner). Once you see that, just slip the litter tray there. Put some of their normal bedding in there at first and they should keep using the corner. I try to put the bedding high around it so it's level with the entrance of the tray so they don't have to jump into it--I try to change the corner as little as possible when I'm introducing the tray. Then as they keep using it I can switch it to carefresh or the more absorbent stuff I like to put in there. Now my pig looks for her litter pan even when she's out of her cage. So she pretty much potty-trained herself. Hope that helps :)

[@adencarlson3347]

[@Mekiozuke]

my piggies never tend to run off, they love cuddles, well one of them does squeek a bit when I try to pick her up but she only does that when I'm not holding her sister already ( she's a bit of a cry baby) but I think I will try the prop-methode for her to make it a little less stressful for her.

Hi! I might be getting guinea pigs soon! Just wondering... how do you feel about these things... 1. Picking them up with one hand 2. Having to leave to go to school Also, how could I calmly introduce them to my friends and family? I would not want to scare them and lose their trust.

[@eloiselockett9001]

Ik this was 5 years ago but if you feel bad about going to school while they're at home, as long as they have another piggie in the cage with them, plenty of hay and water and hideys and are safe then its no problem whatsoever.

[@springtrap9202]

[@smellsbettafishy3523]

What if your Guinea pig teeth chatters if you try to pick it up:(

[@littleguineapigadventures2856]

smellsbetta fishy it means they are frightened

[@sophierr967]

Then don’t pick them up...

[@caponsacchi]

Even the most fearless and socialized g.p.apparently will become skittish and evasive if it senses the hand it knows so well is about to pick him up. I'm wondering, therefore, if the best approach is to come from above and without warning. Done properly, its easy to transport a piggy from the floor to your elbow or shoulder before he's even had a chance to "process" the transaction. I'm not sure whether that method should be recommended. It must be done quickly, efficiently (no hand under the tummy), and skillfully (no hesitation or tentative grasping). But even if it's safe, it feels a bit like "cheating," or depriving the guinea pig of the world it is learning to know. My pig's reactions ofter make me wonder if, bored with his daily cage routine, he actually "enjoys" an occasional "cat and mouse game." He gets to test his independence while activating his prey instincts and exercising all his muscles.

[@avoidher3022]

How much did they cost and from where?

[@willow_is_weeping]

one of my guinea pigs squeal sometimes when i try to pick her up is this normal?

[@gabvierl652]

it is not working on my guinea pig what should you do if he is scared

[@montethethoddie1793]

When I got my guinea big he was already grown. And I’ve had him for 6 months. I’ve only held him a couple times BC every time I got to pick him up he tried to bite me, or run way.

[@kaylyn934]

I have the same problem with my guinea pig now. She's about 4 months old I think. She used to be okay with picking me up, but she'd sort of just freeze and now that she's comfortable and more confident she decides it's time to rebel. She lets me pet her when I'm sitting on the floor with her though. She's feisty!

[@wallywest5676]

If I open the door to the cage and stretch my arms out with my palms up flat and together to form a bridge to my lap, Rosemary will climb on and across without my having to fetch her from the cage. Harley Quinn is still a little pooper who only seems interested in coming out of the cage when she sees Rosemary out and about. One of my Pomeranians, Amber, and Rosemary seem to be the best of friends. Amber is usually a very dormant, timid dog but she gets super excited when I bring Rosemary out and they start grooming each other. Then when I put her back in the cage, Amber starts whining like a little baby. I can't believe I spent so much of my life not having my own pets. Lovely little critters.

[@yougottabekittenme7]

That was great good job!

[@nicholasjohnson6373]

One of my piggies is almost ALWAYS in her hidey. The second I approach at all she will run back in if she isn't in there already. She is finally coming out to eat, but before she wouldn't even eat in front of me. But now the only time I ever see her out of her hiding place is when she eats. A lot of the time she won't move at all when I try to pick her up though. I feel bad but I think she likes lap time, and i have to at least take her out to clean her cage 1 a week and cut her nails and brush her fur.

[@johnblobe3155]

I got a guinea pig for my current guinea pig how many days should I wait till picking him up

[@stefankosta6845]

wait a day or so, and don't be scared to remove his hiding areas

[@rainbowcolours2042]

You're advice is great my Guinea pig called coco doesn't mind getting picked up anymore

[@annelwell3619]

I have one guinea pig "muffin" she bites a lot do you have any suggestions?

[@katiegilson5831]

It could be a variety of things. Guinea pigs don't normally bite people so it could be something that might be hurting her. If at all possible, I would consider taking your guinea pig to the vet to make sure she is ok. Maybe she is having stomach pains or some other type of pain. It could also be sudden movements. If your piggy doesn't like sudden movements, she could just be biting you because she thinks your going to hurt her and she gets scared. All in all I would say check her out at the vet and make sure you have lots of lap and floor time. It is essential for bonding with your guinea pig :)

My male Guinea pig keeps chewing on my shirt and idk what to do. I put him down and he does nothing. Any advice would be great! He is less than a year old.

IAmHeaven- My femail does that as well, no need to worry he's just wanting something to chew on. Some advice (give him some chews while he's on your lap or vege)

It's fine my guinea pigs always do that
