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.

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.

[@crispinmiller7989]

@@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.

​@@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.

makes me so much happiness to find friendly animals exploring naturally wild in places unexpected.

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.

[@bluebowser3121]

This video is beautiful! I'm so glad to see someone keeping guinea pigs like this.

I've been trying to turn my little yard into a homestead for a few years I have meat rabbits and two years ago one of the nicest black ones got out and disappeared but the beginning of this year she reappeared looking super healthy. I live in an old city with lots of abandoned places so there's lots of tall grasses and good stuff for her to eat and places to hide. I leave out extra food and water for her but she has her own den somewhere and looks good so i just let her be wild. She comes to say hello and i can pik her up

What are meat rabbits?

[@inoriol]

@@brosef5033 livestock rabbits. Cuniculture and stuff.

This reminds me of an episode on Star Trek. Where the enterprise was overwhelmed by some furry little creatures

[@tacocat1921]

do you mean "trouble with tribbles"?

[@billsee476]

those were tribbles lol

[@MsHalcyon2]

And the tribbles were indeed based off of guinea pigs 😊

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.

[@mariagerardasmits]

I keep my guinea pigs in my garden as well, summer and winter. They have a little house for the nights. Just to be safe from foxes. During the day they are outside, running free through our garden. It looks so lovely!

[@weslleybatista2042]

So amazing these guinea pigs living a good life, with other animals, and having a chance to live as free as possible

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

[@whosaidthat4299]

This is a happy looking farm, lol. Love it.

[@saartjestaartje80]

So wholesome

[@itsjustalf7747]

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

[@keagancribby4020]

@@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.

@@keagancribby4020 people farm and cook and eat guinea pigs- *that’s what I’m trying to say*

I think it was a Bengal.

He was flipping his tail around, though... looking for one to chase. He probably doesn't harm them though. Cool to watch all the animals together!

[@andysaunders3708]

Those little creatures are so great. I had some, and they were actually very affectionate, and wouldn't take any shit from the cats.
