Do guinea pigs bite?

Don't know if you ever heard of Coral Neck high very loose collar on a sweater.... one time I took mine to speech class and he was sleeping in my Coral Neck..but in the middle of my speech he woke up and did his little squilling thing and it even made the Professor laugh

i know you wont see this probably but I urge you not to feed you'r guinea pigs lettuce as this can make them very sick and they can die.

​@@noemypineda7991 they can if they feel threatened or have possibly been abused. I got my share of bites!!! Also, if they're sick or have to go potty , they may let you know. For the most part, they're sweet, gentle animals. I Just love them ❤

Laying and chilling with your Guinea pig on the couch while watching a movie and then falling asleep with the piggie on your lap is the best feeling ever!❤

[@MelancoliaI]

...Until you really have to go to the bathroom when your pig is just catatonically comfortable on your lap and absolutely does not want to move

[@addictedtoguitars4948]

I feel so lucky, I've had my two girls less that two weeks, and they take food right out of my hand, I take them for quality time several times a day. Today I was lying on the couch with one on top of me, and I dozed off. When I woke up, she was just sitting there waiting, as good as can be. They do still squeal for a second when I lift them up from the cage, but they get over it quick. Time for some cuddles right now!

[@BeeDotPens]

I just got 2 guinea pigs yesterday, both males and incredibly shy since it's been almost less than 24 hours since they've been brought home, but it makes me so incredibly happy that they already feel comfortable enough with hand-feeding, they're more than willing to get close to my hand and sniff it, while always getting close to me in general. I'm absolutely excited for what the future has in store with them

[@StarLightVillinsky]

I got mine 2 days ago! And mine are the same! Both males timid/shy one is more "friendly" then the other one. Super excited to see what's in store for mine as well!

[@B1ank_Ed1ts]

Me too i got my two males yesterday and ine is willing to hand feed and the other kinda still runs away

Pedro is sooooo adorable! Your piggies are all cute, but Pedro touches me especially, maybe because he was a rescue. Seeing him now, safe and snuggly, in the left corner of the video just melts my heart.

[@funwithadvaita5441]

Thanks Ms. Sarah. I am a 10 year old and I got my guinea pigs today.

[@BookloverFantasy92]

Right now I’m focusing on the health of one of my piggies as he’s sick and needs regular checks, medication and extra care right now. But the others I’m just focusing on hand feeding some veggies, and when my husband cleans the cage fully out, I will sit with the piggies with some veggies. We have two cages set up right now. So lots of work. But doing the best we can during some difficult times.

[@MillsSkits]

These are great tips! As a little twist on the first tip that I've done, is you can read to a timid guinea pig. 😊📖🐹 (By the way, I just love the captions you include of your piggies talking--it makes the videos such fun.)

[@SqueakDreams]

Oh yes great idea with the reading! Ah thank you glad you like them hehe! 😃

[@thepieisalieofficial]

Thank you for these super useful videos! I just got two male Guinea pigs named Dirtblock and Soap. They are very skittish as they come from a farm and were barely handled at all. They’re both around 3 months, so I’ve got lots of time to tame them. It’s their 4th day with me and they are now willing to eat their veggies when I’m sitting next to the cage, but any movement still scares them. It’s gonna be a long and slow process but I’m feeling good about it and they’re adorable. Again, thanks for making these informational videos. You have some great tips and it’s reassuring to hear I’m doing things right for my piggies. (One of them even popcorned yesterday. I’m so happy to see them starting to get comfy in their new home)

[@cozycows]

Working on petting knish and picking up both :)

[@KweenofRats]

I have two girlies (sisters) that I just rescued four days ago, and they are currently kind of comfortable eating from my fingers. Previous owners accidentally had babies, but treated them super well and handled them often, so they came from good roots! Just needed a new home because there were too many piggies in the home! I can also usually stick my fingers or hands in the cage while they are eating hay if I move slowly, or I can play with their toys while they eat and they don't care, or they try to play with me. They still run a bit but are learning that when I get up or move it is not always to bother them, and one of my girls, Daisy, has made a habit of sleeping out in the open, sprawled out with her eyes closed which is a huge step that even some long time owners don't even get! I am very proud of them!! They are only a little over a month old and are very spunky and confident, even for their age! After they get over the initial fear of being picked up and are tucked into my chest, they calm down and make cute little noises (the kind they make when they're just out and about, eating) so think that's a good thing! They don't squirm or try to run away when I pet them in my arms, and often try to climb up my chest toward my face or explore my arms! I am just so proud of them and don't have many other places to talk about it, so I thought I'd share here! If this is only four days, imagine where we'll be in a month! I love my piggos (Daisy and Honey), they are the best thing for me! I have had a lot of health issues lately and have recently become disabled, so I can't go to school and have no one to talk to outside of my family, so being able to sit by the cage while they eat and just talk to them, or have someone to hang out with while I eat pizza or a vegan burger is just so nice! I love finding them fresh veggies and seeing which ones they like! (Not a fan of strawberries, zucchini, cucumber, or bell peppers so far, but love carrots, celery, romaine lettuce, kale, parsley/thyme, and celery leaves so far, although I only feed them lettuce and kale daily and switch other things out depending on how often they can have it!) They also aren't a fan or orchard hay, but wheek for Timothy, so I may venture out to find other hays to see what they like (thinking of meadow next!) I love your videos and they have been so helpful! Removed my hay rack thanks to your wonderful "what they don't need" video! Much love from Daisy, Honey, and I! ❤❤ Happy holidays!

I got Sir about 5 months ago.. He had been a solo piggy for nearly 9 months at a chain petstore. He had no socialization whatsoever.. This is a process for sure.. He wheeks, zoomies and popcorns though. I did set him up free range from the get go and i honestly think he is a miracle. However he is not ok with physical touches yet though he runs all around me and will sit with me. Thank you for this.

[@yvonnebartlett2077]

Love your advice on how to pick them up. Mine let me now without sqeaking.Xx

[@DawnOldham]

Your video made me feel much better about our progress! I’ve had my two boys about six months and we are finally at hand feeding and they will stand on their back legs to reach for food. I don’t get inside of their floor time cage, but I sit with them the whole time, talking to them. They will let me scratch their heads, especially if I am reaching inside of a hidie. Over all, they still don’t love to be reached for so lifting them while they are inside a sack is helpful. Thank you for the video! I’ve tried to stay consistent with the time I spend with them. They aren’t hard to “tame”, you just have to spend time and handle them regularly!

[@SqueakDreams]

Hi Dawn - that's great so glad it came in handy! And yes patience and keeping up a routine is key. Six months is still very young, they will change a lot in the next six months 😀

Thank you so much I love your guinea pig content and your videos are so helpful I am a first time owner for 4 months now and bagel (my guinea pig) is still warming up to me before I watched this video I was really mean in my guinea pigs eyes I was holding her to much and petting and she didn't have a hideout but now I'm alot more educated due to this video. I'm in my room with her right now next to her cage and she's eating her veggies . Thank you for your help!

[@jemma3459]

Thanks Sarah, what a great video with some really helpful tips. My piggies are very tame like yours but I remember our first 3 girls used to squeal and even dig at the floor to try to escape being picked up when we first had them which was awful. Can’t imagine that 3 years on now as they all come running and wheeking when I come into the room!! Food, affection, patience and time are really key to winning your piggies’ trust. A couple of mine still do try to wriggle when I’m putting them back into their cage and the ‘popping them down backwards trick’ always works a treat and it’s very safe-they just potter off calmly! Yes, Pedro you are the loveliest little piggy soul- so loving and affectionate- bless him xx 😘

im just setting up my garden for 2 guinea pigs , do they like dust baths ?

[@DelJn4]

I’m a new piggie mom and feel like I’ve got some trusting piggies. They get excited when they hear my voice, run to the entrance of the cage and eagerly take food from my hand. They will eat out of my hand, one actually seems to like me to hold her food for her so she doesn’t have to (spoiled I know, but I love it). I feel like they trust me quite a bit but they don’t like to be picked up or out of cage time. I’ve tried the hat trick which worked great at first, even got one of my piggies to sleep while holding her in the hat next to my chest and talking/petting her. It was so special and adorable. But I feel like they’ve regressed and now know my hat trick leads to cuddles, and don’t go in. They are young, so I thought it would be best to try and do as much as I can with them while they are young to show them they can trust me. But maybe out of the cage time isn’t ideal when they are young? I also bought a large “play pin” for them to get some out of the cage time in and they didn’t seem to enjoy it. They just seemed scared so I felt guilty and haven’t done it since. I’m just trying to find the balance of pushing them a little, but not too much and terrifying them. Thanks for any advice you can offer 😊

[@elliesims195]

I’m trying to get my newer boy used to me, I’m currently at where he’ll let me stroke his head sometimes and he now associates me with food and shouts for his dinner, but I want to be able to cuddle him more.

@@vanessakopacz3077 Yeah but you could have also ignored that other comment. They just said they are quite tamed not fully. So ur commentar was actually rlly unnecessary too. Just saying

@@vanessakopacz3077 also I am way older than you and ur telling me to shush. But anyways u said ur guinea pig is sneezing much right? It could be bc of the bedding. If u have Wood shavings or something I might would change it
