POV Guinea Pig Cage Cleaning!

[@amosingh3593]

I've had my 2 males for a year now, because of your videos, they are living in piggie paradise. Thank you for making me a better human for my piggies and thank you for these amazing videos that always make me smile :) 🙏❤

[@mariatrapani851]

HELLO AUSTIN, IT IS ALWAYS LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN WITH YOUR PIGGIES, I ENJOY WATCHING YOU CLEAN THE CAGES. I CLEAN MY CAGE EVERYDAY TOO, WITH TWO PIGGIES THEY STILL MAKE A LOT OF MESS.

[@Piggedies]

Ooh a loft! That would be neat to see! I wasn’t sure if my piggies were gonna like the loft I put in for them but they will go up there and popcorn and explore. It’s fun for them. I think your piggies will like it 😊

[@TracyMitchell-q8v]

Love to see you building a loft for your herd ❤

[@mindsetwithmarie676]

For the pee stains simply soak them for 5-10 minutes in vinegar and then it wipes right down! I do this for my rabbit's litter box🙌 Love your videos Austin! Thanks for sharing :) Also for the record, I prefer not POV cage cleaning videos... Its more relaxing to just watch you go around the room cleaning the cages. Those make me nauseous, although you did a good job trying to move more slowly around the room. Keep up the good work!

Your skinny doesn't have a heating pad? They should have one. They have pet ones with a timer and different heat temperatures. I have one draped behind my guinea pig houses for warmth in the winter for my furry guinea pigs. I used one that came with a washable cover. I used that one under a cotton towel in a corner with a fleece curtain or under a hidie. A card board box works good. I make lofts for where I put there hidies. They only go there to sleep because thats all thats up there because of the size. Works perfect as just their bedroon. Do those trays fit in the sink to wash?

[@chantelblakeman7081]

I hope you never stop doing this

[@queenchoyo6016]

I use old wash cloths to wipe down my pig cages and just wash them with my pig laundry. My pigs love the pig mats!

[@RileyWilliams2011]

My nan used to rescue guinea pigs. She took home 5 from Cyprus that were about to be slaughtered because their home (a petting zoo) went bankrupt. So they bought them for £5 a pig and they lived with the rest of their pigs back here in the UK. One of the males had an extra toe and ended up getting a piggy pregnant on their ferry to Turkey. It gave birth to 3 pigs each with an extra toe 😂. All of the litter were sold to good homes ❤(this is all late 90’s)

[@amandahopemakeup3185]

My pigs love their loft so I think that would be great to show and see if they like it! I also have a 32 gallon outdoor trash can actually for our kitchen on wheels so it can be used for the pigs and our trash and 10/10 recommend! Especially as an ADHD household 😂

[@michelleschneider3220]

Love your videos and yes, I would love to see you do a loft video. My girls love a loft and struggle between size and design as they love to utilize the loft and I switch it up and take it off in winter to have more cozy warm as I have skinnies and will plan on putting it back on in the Spring, but need more creative ideas for 2 x4 or bigger home as I plan on expanding.

[@borderlinefav]

I loooooove the cleaning videos sm!! I would love to see a video where you have a video or timelapse of each of the different cages and you could maybe talk about each piggie's personality while we watch them run around and eat! I love watching all your piggies and hope to have a future like this :D

[@madzillamonkeyfeettt]

thank you so much for taking such incredible care for each of your pigs, you are an angel

[@venetiasweatman3269]

Yes a big bin is very handy.I have one right next to my Guinea Pig hutch.The Guinea Pigs make a lot of mess so you need to be prepared but it’s a good feeling when the cleaning is all done😄💟

[@RachelTsTime]

New sub! You already kit 80k by the time I subbed so it’s cool to hear you talk about your new goal and I’m happy to support. This is the second video I’ve watched. The first was the hoarder rescue vid. ❤ you’re doing amazing things

[@Piggedies]

Funny thing I was just watching Autumn’s POV cleaning video when the notification for this video popped up! 😊 I’m always excited to see your videos. Btw, the piggies are gonna love their Christmas presents I just got from your site 😊

[@fitzguineavision]

You'd be surprised how many people still ask how to build a loft. I think it would be a great video idea!

[@poppyhowland2648]

i use blue roll to clean my piggies hay boxes, i can get 6 huge rolls for pretty cheap and they last alot longer than kitchen towl and still clean the pee up well

[@imran4968]

I'm cuddling with my kitty and watching your videos as we always binge watch your content together even tho I'll always be a cat daddy and maybe one day I'll get a dog, but I could never do small mammals despite how cute they are.

[@TipsOnLife1]

Kyle is my favorite piggy!! She’s so funny and cute!!

[@soggymayonnaisegang]

Hi! I’m a teen and I have 2 male Guinea pigs! I got them back in July, so they’re still pretty young, they were a few months old (older than 6, but not a year yet) so they’re almost 1 year! It’s their first Christmas and I can’t wait to make them a Guinea pig present! A month or two ago, they got in a pretty big fight, nothing seemed to have started it, but they are both dominant so that might’ve been part of it. They are still separated, but we are trying to rebond them. We believe that we were lied to at the pet store we got them from, as we had been there a few days earlier and they looked different, but we were told they were still the same Guinea pigs. Currently, our short hair/smooth haired Guinea pig named rocks has a 3 x 5 grid cage, and our curly haired piggy whisky has a 2 x 4 grid (the one we had originally gotten before expanding their cage and then having to separate them), and their cages are right next to each other. They both are happy piggies, and I love the vast differences in their personalities, whisky squeaks every time we enter the room while rocks is a bit more quiet, only squeaking when he gets zoomies or when we give him food, lol 😭❤️, but we still want to rebond them. It’s a lot harder having 2 big cages in the small room than it is to have 1 (even bigger) cage. We have tried multiple different ways to rebond them, but none of them have worked. A couple of days ago, (2 or 3), we set up a neutral space in the room for them to be in together, and I sat in there with them to monitor. They were doing okay in the beginning, but whisky started to get up on rocks and rocks didn’t like it. Rocks luckily didn’t start anything, however whisky did. He started kicking him and then almost began a fight. We had broken them up a few times when whisky would kick him, but mostly tried to stay out of their way. They’ve been in the same space before, as sometimes we bring them out for lap time at the same time and I just have one on one side of the bed and the other on the other side, but this is the first time they have really interacted since the big fight. Neither of them are neutered, they were sold from petco (sadly, no where else had any bonded pairs available), but we don’t think they were actually bonded, even if they told us they were. (Ever since the beginning, they haven’t really seemed bonded but we figured it might’ve just been the new space.) if anyone has any tips whatsoever, they would be helpful. We’ve been swapping a few of their items back and forth, they’re already used to each others scents and sounds, etc. we don’t want to get rid of either of them, we just want to try to rebond. We understand if they just will never bond, but we atleast want to give it another try. So sorry if this was confusing, and a little note; when I refer to “we” I mean me and my friend, who owns the piggies (we live together currently, but she’s about to move next door.) Thank you for reading all of this, I know I’ve said a lot. TL;DR: I have 2 male Guinea Pigs, they fought a couple months back and we are trying to rebond them now. If anyone has tips, it would be appreciated and it would help alot, even if we’ve already tried some of them.

[@soggymayonnaisegang]

Second note; when I say the “big fight,” I mean they had ripped out a little bit of each others hair and just kind of squabbled. It was just a random night when it happened, nothing really led up to it. Right after separating, we thought rocks had been the one who hurt whisky but now we believe it was the other way around. They both have all of the necessities in their cages, but it would be so much easier for us if they were bonded and could live together, and it would be good for them since they could socialize throughout the day while we are at school (they live in our room in the attic and no one else is normally at home during the day). Even just telling us something we’ve already tried will help, we just want them to bond again for their ease as well as our own. Thank you all for listening to these long messages, and have a good day!

[@patinab1955]

How do you wash your mats? Temp, detergent, bleach, etc, to basically kill all the germs from your pigs? I would love to see a video of your wash/dry routine of your Reusable pig items.

[@SxmplyPaisley]

I hear a lot of people use scent free detergent/scent free pod and like 1/4 a cup of vinegar, the vinegar helps get rid of the smell it’s safe for the Guinea pigs. That’s what I use for my girls and it works really well

How often do you change the bottom large absorbent mat?

So helpful! When are you decorating for Christmas?

[@PhoenixDinan2582]

Can you use 50% Apple sider vinegar and 50% water or a different kind of vinegar?

[@ItsSimplyEl]

I have a question, when is your next restock for your website? I am getting 2 piggies for Christmas and I’m hoping to add some of your products to the cage!😊

[@ItsSimplyEl]

If anyone knows the answer pls let me know!😁

might be better to ask on insta xx

[@shawnaoverby111]

Vinegar isn’t a sanitizer and especially if it’s diluted out it’s not doing anything plain water wouldn’t. Chlorohexidine solution I would recommend (a vet tech). It’s safe to drink (lol not that I recommend that) and has very little scent. Safe for g pig and rabbits :)

[@ugydpl7405]

Hey love your videos but maybe to keep the stains away in your litter boxes for when you don’t have puppy pads you could line it with paper towels ❤

[@dkp7073]

DON’T KEEP YOUR ANIMALS FROM YOUR LANDLORD IF YOU MOVE, IT COST ME MY FERRETS LIVES! Twenty years ago I lived in an apartment with my best friend and our 2 ferrets. Our landlord didn’t allow pets, so we didn’t tell him. We had a fire while we were at work, firefighters could have gotten then out, but they were left in a smoke filled house. By the time we told our neighbor who told the firefighters our ferrets had died of smoke inhalation. I’m not saying in a terrible fire they will be able to get them out, but in my situation they could have been saved. I just watched your last video and figured commenting here might have a better chance of being seen.

[@cheesygoose8224]

32:07 make the cage rap around the entire room. Kinda like two L shaped cages attached? Idk just a thought

[@Crazyfishlady7106]

I have three teacup chihuahuas and they all have heath issues so they have accidents so I go threw alot of paper towels as well

Hi I’m a Australian and there isn’t many Australian piggy shops that are good and today I’ve tried to order from your shop and it said it didn’t ship to Australia but a few days ago I ordered something from your shop and it worked I’m just checking if I can order here.

[@Rynn21]

I try to time myself. Personal best to deep clean 9 cages is an hour. Unfortunately, we can't do herds here at our rescue. Too many don't get along with each other, so the enclosures are split.

[@LocalCrazyOne]

EARLYY amazing videos bro :3

[@trhodes9]

If you remove the pet pad, you can compost or green recycle the rest!

[@weirddeadkid4198]

I miss the cute noise the piggies do, mine used to talk a lot whenever they listened someone opening the fridge (they really loved having cucumber)

[@annagrace590]

I was wondering when your going to be restocking your store?

[@Sophandherguineas]

I have 3 female guinea pigs and they all get along for the most part 2 are fighting over dominance and my other one is an angel 😂

[@YukiTh3SillyC0yot3]

I got my girls a Timothy kabob and two Willow balls, and they destroyed them both in three days😂 my girls love your stuff and I hopefully will order again soon!!

[@ady4669]

The pig room stuff is so cute. I was gonna buy the piggy liner but shipping was over 100 dollars 😔💔

[@juliemccann1549]

Why do one stet of 3 pigs have 5x3 and the others have 7x3? Should they not have 6 each?

I LOVE THIS u make me want a guinea pig lol😂😂

What is that door behind your herd of guinea pigs cage?

[@XcXElla]

Hi kind of random but I have a male Guinea pig ( not neutered ) yesterday his cage mate sadly died and now I don’t know what to do, I’m not sure to get him a friend if it’s to early or to get a younger piggie, some advice would help. Thanks

I’ve actually heard lofts aren’t good for their spines to be elevated? Maybe build a loft and touch on some of the different opinions and your opinion on lofts

Loft video pls!!!!!😂❤

[@moda78z]

How are the bunnies doing? ❤️

[@Lana-123rj]

Question for you Austin, How many times like a week do you wash your piggy’s water bottle? I never know the right time to clean them 😅

[@relzned]

not austin, but coming from someone who has had hamsters, guinea pigs and rats, water bottles should be cleaned at least every other day. water bottles are prone to growing nasty bacteria and algae especially in the nozzle. which can make them sick or even clog the nozzle resulting in less water intake

[@Lana-123rj]

@ Omg thank you so much I did not know that!!!

[@kleptokitty1583]

please build a loft!!💝

Is chirping for guinea pigs bad?!

[@soggymayonnaisegang]

If you mean their wheeking, where they kind of sound like birds, then no, that is normally a sign of happiness! I believe it can be in a bad way, but most and almost every time it’s a good thing. My 2 piggies have never squeaked/wheeked at me in a bad way, unless I pet them somewhere they didn’t like and they gave some quiet bubbly squeaks. You just have to watch their body language! If they’re relaxed and calm, or if they’re excited to see you (or the food you’ve brought with you) then it’s a good thing! But, if they sort of push you off of them or if their body language is kind of stressed out, then they’re likely not happy! One of my little piggies, whisky, is super talkative and squeaks at the smallest thing, while my other, rocks, is a bit calmer but tends to bubble a bit more (basically, a lot of quiet squeaks or chirps.) each piggy is different, and while one may not like something and chirp annoyedly at you, another one might love it and squeak happily! Just make sure to pay attention to what each individual piggy likes. :) Also, if any of this was wrong information, please let me know! It will be nice for me to know for in the future, and for others to know here! Have a great day everyone :)
