I upgraded my pig room! 👀🐷 NEW CAGES + TOUR

[@kaminariscarlett5021]

ive gotten two guinea pigs since you last posted. been working hard to try and spoil them like you do your pigs. i rescued the first one along with a ferret from my old friends boyfriend cause his mom was kicking them. i may not have everything to make them super happy but its definitely an upgrade from where they started. watching your videos motivates me to do everything in my power to show them the love they deserve

[@conlon4332]

Oof, guinea pigs and a ferret? Don't ferrets eat guinea pigs? Also I hope the ferret also has a friend now as they're social creatures.

[@noahwebb6284]

I can’t believe the mum kicked them! I have 5 Guinea pigs! I ❤them to bits!

[@kaminariscarlett5021]

@@conlon4332 they have separate spaces that I upgraded since I got them. I can't afford to keep a second ferret at the moment but once I get a better job I'm planning on getting her a buddy. I know most people don't agree with it but she seems to like my cat enough to keep her distracted for now

IL LOVE SEEING YOUR GUINEA PIGS AND THE WAY YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM. MARIA

[@conlon4332]

They look so fun and easy to take care of! I have quail, which need quite similar things in many ways, but changing them out is a pain. Their poop always gets super stuck to the bottom of the cage and needs scraping off, I couldn't believe it when I saw how easily you can just hoover it all up! And that fabric bedding looks so cute! My quail have hay bedding that gets thrown away when it gets dirty, but those look super easy to put in the wash! Sometimes I used to give my quail a towel under their hay, but even under the hay it got super dirty - needed shaking out, lumps of poop pulled off, and then a long wash at 90C, and even then it came out discoloured. Safe to say I don't use towels anymore, but I had some birds that used to slip around easily so needed a towel underneath, but those have died now. It's ok they were 4 years old so they had a good life.

[@Klaudi7507]

I used to have pet store cages for my bunnys pigs and rats, and dude i regret that so much they needed much more space, if i get bunnys or piggies again im gping to dedicate half my room to them i swear on my left toe even if I'd have to sleep on the floor as long as my babys have the space that they need to be happy and healthy ❤❤❤

[@GuineaMum]

Heya, if u want an easy way to help put weight on piggies add some natural bran to their bowls. We use this at our rescue in the UK and it works a treat and totally piggie safe. If u buy in bulk (x1 large sack) it will last you a whole without large spending. Hope this helps ❤️❤️ good to see you back x

[@PoshPigsHerd]

No need to apologize. Your videos have been so helpful and I’m still watching some from a couple years back! 😃 I subscribed to your page before getting ours about a month ago and I definitely felt super confident bringing them home and caring for them. ❤

[@mdeysenroth]

I am so glad you are back and that you are okay! I was actually just going to go to your channel to see if I had accidentally been unsubscribed, as I have heard that can happen. I must tell you my piggie story Austin; I will try to keep it brief. A few years ago, due to the sudden onset of a life-altering (not life-threatening) illness, I could no longer financially or physically take care of my beautiful sister pigs ZuZu and Willow. I had no choice but to rehome them. They went to an amazing home and although I know it was best for them and for me, I was devastated. For at least a full year, I couldn't even look at a piggie and the sound of their wheeks gave me a pang in my heart and brought tears to my eyes. One day, one of your videos popped up on my feed and something told me to click on it. I subscribed almost immediately. I credit you with breaking down that wall, and allowing me to enjoy the piggie life again, even if it is vicariously through you. I will never unsubscribe. I am a fan for life. ❤🐹

[@tiffaniepetersen2410]

So excited you’re back! Also, I asked on your live the other day about whether some guinea pigs are more confident in herds than in pairs, and per your advice, I rescued two more girls. It’s only been about two hours but it’s been a very boring bonding session so far, which I know is usually a good sign. So thank you for the advice!

[@sophieirwin3497]

I'm pretty sure my mum got my childhood guinea pig for herself more than for me and my brother. Basically, me and my brother had pet rabbits that were absolutely wild and couldn't be tamed (I was 3/4 at the time so didn't understand why I couldn't play with my rabbit). So they had to be given away. We still had all the equipment and supplies when my parents went to the pet store to get some supplies for our cockatiel. My mum always liked seeing the rabbits and guinea pigs at the store, and went over to the den to look at them. She noticed that Benny (our subsequent guinea pig) was being bullied by the other guinea pigs and ended up bring home more than bird seed! Benny always had his Sunday lunch of broccoli and carrots, had a run in the garden, and when we moved house, he had to be put in the back of the lorry, but my mum stayed until the last minute and he was the first out a the other end (a 5 minute drive away). He would have gone in the car but Paddy the Cockatiel had that space and she was more dramatic.

[@teijaflink2226]

Great to see your back and the piggies. Looks like the piggies are doing well, I hope nothing is wrong with Alli or that you find out and can help him, he seemed to be so cozy with his new heard so I want him to be able to experience that. Makes me always so happy to hear when single boys find a friend or a whole herd and to see them happy and active. I'm curious about the mystery illness your dogs have if you would be interested in talking about it, what are the symptoms and how did you notice. Hope the dogs get better soon. Welcome back to youtube.

[@chronically_btch]

I think he's referring to the Mystery Illness that's been going around the whole country, and can be very deadly. It's a respiratory illness with similar symptoms to kennel cough and pneumonia.

found your vids on a guinea pig binge brought on by the algorithm tossing me your rescue vids, and watched through especially to see progress on Ariel, and if you told me that the pig now was the pig in the rescue vid I'd have called you a liar, that does not look like the same wheeking spud!

[@Vinixllq]

Hi, Austin! I’m so happy you’re back, I need some tips with my set ups. So basically whenever I do my cage cleans the cage is perfectly fine for the first day. obviously some poops throughout the day typical but by the second day, my piggies start going under their fleece, and it kind of aggravates me because then they poop under their fleece and it’s so much more for me to clean up, and then I have to tear apart their entire cage instead of a spot clean. so if you could please give me some tips. I would love that!❤

[@Andrew-lt2hd]

i use blankets instead of mats like austin so i understand. i use binder clips to keep the down on the side. i also offer little fleece from the dollar store, like baby blankets? for them to burrow in and little burrow hides. i haven’t had problems since besides my one trouble maker boy who has now learned how to take the binder clips off!

[@wenditaylor9708]

It's so great to see you back! You are a piggy parent I look up to very much. I am actually so glad to see you talking about rehoming your boys. I have recently been grappling with this myself. I never thought I'd ever rehome any animal. I bring them in to be their forever. Sadly I have to rehome 4 out of my herd of six. I originally wanted 2 and I was offered a pair of ladies but 1 is 7 and one is 2. I knew that I was going to have to find the 2 year old a friend and I'd hoped to do it before my older lady passed. I was then offered 2 more girls that were also 2 years old. Which on paper should have been perfect but they clashed to the point of blood. I followed all of the rules and it just wasn't a match. So I ended up with 2 cages. Then my bond broke with my golden girl and her cage mate. So I ended up with a split cage. Then I saw a post for a lovely lady whose daughter had 2 boys that wound up with a baby in their cage after 3 years! It turns out one was a girl! I was heart broken because the boy was taken out of the cage and put in a laundry basket. I ended up finding a home for the boy and I took the mama and baby. Of course the baby turned out to be a boy! So I have to rehome him and then his mama will be alone. She and the other girls don't get along either. More blood was drawn. So I now how 3 full size cages in a tiny apartment. I am physically disabled, so this is not a good thing. I just can not keep up! This I have come to the realization that I can not keep them all. Luckily, the baby is going to go live with his dad. And the same lady said she may take one of my girls that she fell in love with while she was here. Sadly my little old lady is in the process of shutting down. I do not expect her to last through the day. She went off her food and has just barely nibbled a lettuce leaf in 2 days. I am just keeping her quiet, comfy, cozy and loved to ease her into passing. 😢. It eases my mind to know that I'm not a bad person to rehome my girls. Thank you for sharing that! Welcome back sweetie!

I’ve been watching your videos recently and have found them interesting. I’m living in the ‘over 3score and10’ realms of life now, no pets to look after any more. When my children were small I went through the whole gambit of small critters and ended up with 2 poodles who filled our lives with joy and were remarkably sturdy and strong. But…… I was given 2 Guinea pigs many many moons ago and thus began our adventures. That first little girl was pregnant and watching that whole story unfold was the most beautiful thing we had encountered in the world of ‘pets’. Guinea pigs are outstanding parents and watching all that was wonderful. Have you ever had pregnant Guineas?

Hi, just wanted to say I‘ve kept piggies for many years and I would personally recommend to switch to a more diverse structured hay. This will help improve their teeth quite a bit and keep even those who are not big chewers from developing dental problems :) This was recommended to me by my piggy specialized vet a few years ago and it worked wonders, even for my sick piggy.

We rescued 3 guinea pigs from a lady who was essentially hoarding them for her daughter. They had bred them, knowing nothing, and had ended up with a group of 20+ guinea pigs that were very skittish and insecure. I rescued a pair, Cashmere and Crookshanks that have been together since birth and were apparently very aggressive when they were separated or introduced to other guinea pigs (They have now been living with our 4 original boys for a year issue free and they are a lot more confident), and the third, bear was bred with 4 of their girls and then basically kept in a hamster cage on his own. He loves being handled, but he is very aggressive to other pigs. We tried to introduce him to Cash and Crookshanks at first, but he attacked crook shanks and bit his neck, and he has done the same with the kind of 'leader' of our OG group aswell. Does anyone have any advice to socialise him and get him used to other guinea pigs? It's awful for him to only be able to see them through the cage but we don't want him or our other guineas to be injured. I feel like nothing we try is working
