I had rescue guinea pigs unbeknown to me they were pregnant I ended up a 26 of the lovely little munchkins. They lived outside I had many hutches but they had bolt holes and come and go as they please it was lovely walking outside in the morning to hear them squeaking asking to be fed and saying hello to me most of mine lived a very long life. My eldest lived till she was 10 I believe that’s because they had a natural living experience. When it snowed I tried to keep them in , they were having none of it and they would popcorn in the snow they were such lovely little pets and I really miss them.

I used to have guinea pigs. They escaped in the garden and hung out with the chickens. They never left the garden, even though it was very easy for the too because we didn't have a fence, just a hedge as we were surrounded by fields. First few times we were quite worried because we weren't ever able to catch them but they soon got into the same habit as the chickens. They'd go to bed in their hutch when the chickens went into roost, they came out when we opened them up. And when we got ducks and quails, they all hung out together, and went to bed at the same time in their individual homes and runs. It was rather odd to see but amazing nonetheless

There is apparently no such thing as a wild guinea pig - even biologists aren't sure which wild cavies are most closely related to domesticated guinea pigs. Guinea pigs have been kept by humans for 2,000-3,000 years, so, like domestic cattle, pigs and sheep, they have been domesticated for so long that they are there own species due to human intervention and breeding.

Appearances can be deceiving. They are being fed an inadequate diet, are neglected and at risk of predation.

[@blackhagalaz]

@@TheWoollyFrog Well I agree on the predetors. There is a high risk of them being hunted down. But otherwise they are looked after every evening. They are fed after a day of free foraging(where they can feed on Grass and Herbs) and seem to spend their nights in the security of their shed. The pure number of them may be concerning, because I ask myself how the people in the farm keep track on all of them and inspect for illness and Injury. This form of keeping surely has its own risks, but I'd prefer it anytime to a single Guineapig sitting in a tiny cage all day, eating nibbles, which is how a majority of pet-rodents in the western world spend their days.

[@TheWoollyFrog]

@@blackhagalaz That is not the right diet. They can't eat cooked food, grains are bad for them in the long run and the grass they forage is just regular lawn that offers few benefits. They are also at risk of parasites from that grass and soil. Then you have respiratory infections from inhaling dirt all day. And as you said, there is no way to inspect them individually. Doubt this person weights all 50+ of them weekly to notice any possible illnesses. They just wake up to a few dead ones once in a while and then decide to breed some replacements. So, I'll take cages over "nature" anytime if it means they live longer.

@@bradsimpson8724 I wondered too. Maybe the grass is a little easier to walk over after the first few have trampled it? Or maybe it's just the force of habit, as you suggest, from using tunnels. The speed at which ours could rip around through their tunnels (without traffic in the way) was pretty impressive. The tunnels were in a mint patch about 20 feet x 30 feet, and one of them could dive in on one side and reappear on the other about two seconds later.

[@AccessAccess]

​@@bradsimpson8724 No it's to avoid predators. They are prey animals. They're generally not fast enough to outrun a predator, nor are they able to fight one off. So their main defense is numbers and awareness. This is why they travel in trains (vs. columns) and will pause if the leader pauses. If there's something like a snake hiding in the grass, by traveling over the same ground they minimize the chance of getting ambushed.

@@TheWoollyFrog how exactly ? I have kept Guinea pigs all my childhood and done extensive research.

I had a Guinea Pig named Mr. Bean. He lived outside and would come when I whistled for him. He was the best! Thanks for the video.

Laughing at the guinea pigs running off to the noise, while the chickens carry on eating. My chickens would be running off with the piggies! Love them, thank you for the lovely video.

It’s all wholesome until you remember what happens to animals at farms

@@itsjustalf7747 Some people are not okay with eating feed lot beef and animals that have no life before dying so they raise their own meat and the animals get a much better life and more humane end. Whats not wholesome about that? It reminds city folks that real meat doesn't come in a wrapper.

We've had people try this in ventura county with cats and other small pets, unfortunately the packs of coyotes and the horned owls are too effective at grabbing them

the one piggie that just stays there while everyone else runs and hides xD cute video!

do you mean "trouble with tribbles"?

those were tribbles lol

And the tribbles were indeed based off of guinea pigs 😊

What a swell video. Just like when I was a little boy and I imagined what my ideal life would be as a grown-up. A wonderful video for a guy in his 70s. Thanks a million!

We need more videos like this one! Awesome!!

[@Pipsqwak]

This is so cute. I wish we could do this, but where we live, we'd just end up fattening up the local coyotes, foxes, mountain lions, bobcats, eagles, hawks, and wolves. My chickens are protected by a literal fortress and an electric fence, and I've still lost some to predators.

So so incredible I’ve never seen anything like this before I’ve seen Guinea pigs before but only in small cages this is absolutely amazing

[@claire6568]

[@piacnm]

How incredibly heartwarming to see this ❤️❤️ thank you soo much for letting them living the best Guineapigs life I have ever seen 🙏❤️❤️

[@ASChambers]

This has to be one of the most heartwarming videos on KZbin. The sight of little piggies happily doing their thing is adorable. I have one question: do you not get overrun with numerous litters of babies, or does the population seem to normalise itself at a certain amount?

[@static_kitten]

this video looks heartwarming upfront but is actually very disturbing... this person is letting domesticated guinea pigs live outside with multiple natural predators, like cats, which is dangerous even inside a home environment... they also, in their own words, are feeding them purely chicken meat and grains, but guinea pigs are strict herbivores that are only supposed to eat grass, hay, herbs, and leafy green vegetables. they rationalized this in a comment they made, saying "wild guinea pigs eat chicken and grain"... wild vs domesticated animals are different to begin with, but wild guinea pigs have exactly the same diet, so that's not true even if these were wild guinea pigs (which they are not, these are undoubtedly domesticated). i would not be surprised if they are letting them reproduce out of control in this reckless, misinformed pet experiment they're doing

[@weslleybatista2042]

I have no idea why the video was recommended to me, but thanks youtube

[@janmccann8081]

I love guinea pigs! Had them when I was a child. I'd love to have them again, but I don't have a garden anymore.

[@bobhawke7373]

That one Guinea pig that couldn't care less what the Robin was warning about.

[@jen7834]

So adorable ! it must be nice to live in a country where you don’t have to worry about snakes or eagles eating your pets and they can live free like this

[@Victoria_Lundy_Theremin]

True. I used to let my pigs romp in the garden until a hawk almost got one of them --- while I was STANDING there. Now they go outside in a large cage on the grass.

[@Victoria_Lundy_Theremin]

@@ccbarr58 Yup. Guinea pigs as they stand now are not a wild animal any more than are domesticated cows. They have wild cousins, but they don't "live in the wild."

[@Exquailibur]

@@ccbarr58 that was why they were domesticated, i see nothing wrong with it myself since its no different than chickens or pigs. Plus with how well these seem to free range they may be better than rabbits for such a purpose, but i dont know what they taste like.

[@skakdosmer]

There are hawks and buzzards everywhere. No country is entirely safe.

[@milkshake3350]

Hawks and buzzards have to eat too. I suppose it's a risk you take letting them all out like that. Very nice to see them with so much space though.
