Great video! I love your rants! I can't imagine how terrifying it is for an animal to be suddenly plunked in water above their head and not have a way out. I don't know how this became such a popular 'thing' but I'm glad people are speaking out about it!

I've had many Guinea pigs. Sadly when I was 5 I had a little plastic play pool that you could purchase at the dollar store. Since I loved my little piggy, named gabby at the time, and I always wanted her with me. I took her into my kiddie pool with me a held her like my little baby and her little bum got wet. Slowly I put her in the pool and luckily my pool was very shallow and she could touch. She walked around a bit but afterwards I felt extreme bad because of where I live it's cooler so we had to have her in the bathroom rapped up in a towel and a heater next to her. I felt so bad that I could have killed her. If a 5 year old has more common sense than an adult then there is something very wrong with this world.

For anyone who does not yet know. Cavies originally came from South America, and their original habitat was actually at moderate to high altitude. IE about 6,000 to 15,000 feet. At that altitude water is always extremely cold and usually very fast flowing. Immersion in that for a human swimming kills in about 4-5 minutes from heat loss then drowning. For a Cavie I doubt they would survive 1 minute. So in the wild they would avoid a swimming situation as much as they would avoid predators. Even bathing them the water should be shallow enough for their nostrils to be above water when laying down so their whole head is clear when standing. IE about 1/2 inch deep.

I love how passionate you are about this. People are so uninformed and many choose to be ignorant, so I completely understand how you feel. I have a hamster and want to get guinea pigs once I get my own place with more space for pets. Watching your videos have allowed me to get well informed. I knew from owning my hamster that it should not be placed in water so naturally I assumed the same with guinea pigs. It is sad that people will put their own entertainment before the welfare of these animals.

You have to clip them, they are forever growing and will curl under and cut into their foot. You only bath them when needed, so maybe once a year.

You never bath a guinea pig that often, maybe once a year for short haired piggies, more often for long haired. If you keep them in a clean cage, there is no reason they need a bath that often.

Thank you for discussing this! I can't tell you how much it sickens me to see these videos, what I don't understand is why risk your Guinea pigs health and well being for your own selfish entertainment. I have made a couple of videos on this topic, but the abuse and threats I've had for campaigning against something that I believe to be animal abuse has been ridiculous! I've had to disable the comments on one due to the amount of personal attacks & death threats I received, it really breaks my heart to see these beautiful animals tortured this way. I will also regularly get people just read the title of my video and without actually watching it, will comment 'mine didn't drown' or 'I was watching them the whole time' I even had one say 'it makes my Guinea pig happy because she smiles when she swims'.. What! These owners should purchase a fish if they want a swimming pet, not a Guinea pig! I will fight against this fad until people listen, I'm glad you also feel so strongly about this x

It is really irritating when people have to gang up on others about stuff like this, especially when there really isn't another side to it that should be defended. I wish people would be polite about their arguments, at least then you could try to have an adult convo with them. I just had someone who must be butt hurt light up my nail clipping and picking up a guinea pig video, ranting about how everything I do is wrong in this video and in all my other videos. Just makes them look like such a fool, especially when they cannot form proper sentences to save their life lol. Blocking is an amazing thing haha.

I have four Ginny pigs and every time someone comes to my house they show me a SICK video about making the pigs "swim" like I tell them "umm I know I'm not your boss but when you come to my house don't show me that type of thing!" And they are like "OHH I GOT THE BEST IDEA EVER, LETS DO THIS WITH YOUR PIGS!!!!" I'm like o fucking HELL NAH and I kick them outta my house cause I kinda see them as a stupid threat to my pigs I mean I know it might not be a big threat cause they can't get to my Ginny pigs without me seeing but I just can't bear to here people say that like it's so f****** stupid! -.-

I agree with the sentiment 100% but maybe not the tactic. People are all so easily offended by each other and in that upset choose to ignore the information being presented. More comments bring on more views, and so honestly flagging it or reporting it as animal cruelty would work faster to ensure less people see it. Also if you can't help but comment I feel like providing links to reliable sources giving the facts of the matter along with quotations from the links would maybe cause more people to listen, and more people to do their own research than a lengthy personal speech about animal cruelty.

I have flagged and reported many videos before, along with a bunch of others, only to find nothing happened to the video, it stayed up. So my personal way of being heard is posting a straight forward comment about why something isn't correct, no naming calling, no swearing, just to the point and stating facts. I found people commenting the same way made the poster take the video down, which in turn takes it away from people watching and being influenced by it. Also commenting on videos that do stay up, people can read the comments who are watching and decide for themselves what is right or wrong. People get butt hurt all the time, but that doesn't mean later on it doesn't weigh on their mind and give them something to think about. Everyone can do what works for them, takes all angles and people, to stand up for what they believe in, to make small changes :)

Thank you for making this video!! It’s a very important topic for every guinea owner to understand! GUINEA PIGS DO NOT AND DO NOT WANT TO SWIM!! 👏👏 I hate when I see videos like that, it makes my stomach turn and especially reading the comments on Zoella’s Swimming Guinea pig video it really made me sad. I only ever put them in water to bathe and it’s low enough that they can easily walk around. This is such an underrated topic that’s discussed and I hope more people can see this and hopefully never attempt this. Thank You for this wonderful video and wish you the best luck on getting these videos taken down.

Admiral Ackbar people should learn before having piggies but unfortunately a lot of people buy pets to entertain. We choose to adopt animals and love and care for our pets and piggies their our kids and I'm no youngster I'm nearly 60. Respect ALL animals always

I understand why you care so much about them. Your not only living and loving your piggies, your influencing others to love their piggies correctly. I bought a really good size cage for my pigs bc of your cage size video. So you are promoting proper care for pigs.

when you were talking about how scared they were i broke down crying. No pig or animal should have to panic like that and fear for their lives. Why someone would do this is BEYOND me. WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK IT"S OKAY TO WATCH YOUR PET STRUGGLE FOR THEIR LIVES?!?! It's sickening what humans will do for their entertainment. sometimes, i am ashamed to be the same species as them. I love how much you care for your animals and that you compare them to kids. Thank you for helping clear up everything wrong with this.

Thank you for your advice. Once long time ago I gave then access to my bathtub and increased the water little by little to see if they would like to play with water. They didn't like it one bit (the water was not more than 1/4 of an inch) and I stopped right away. I haven't tried again but I'm glad that you made a video about this so more people will learn.

I like to watch your “ranting” videos whenever someone bothers me with an insensitive rabbit joke because it’s so nice to hear others who feel the same way I do.. it disgusts me that so many people do not value small animals like they would a dog or cat. They deserve just as much love and respect, if not more 😩❤️❤️❤️

Minimum for 2 guinea pigs is a 28 by 56 inch cage. I would upgrade your cage to a Midwest Habitat which can be found on Amazon or at Walmart. I clean the cages full out twice a week, spot clean twice a day.

Hello, I bath my Guinea pigs but I make the water shallow enough for them to stand and it is normally ok. However I recently got two New Guinea pigs and bathed them for the first time today, they were fine but when I first put them in the water they were panicking and trying to run away. Does the water getting in the ears and causing infections still apply to the pigs even when I put them in straight tap water without the extra chemicals?

Love you x You're so dedicated to your piggies. I totally agree with that whole swimming thing. It makes me SICK. The only time a piggy should get wet is if they really need a bath to keep them healthy because their fur is matted or they have fleas. I'm getting two pups at the weekend! Your cleaning routine is so organised. Xxx
