    I can confirm that the napping with open eyes part is true. One day one of my piggies was just lying there in the cage, motionlessly with her face half buried in hay and an empty glare. So I poked her to see if she was okay and she looked at me like "Bitch, stop poking me, go to the fridge and get me some damn salad."

    When my cousin first saw my guinea pig he gave him the nickname “Mr. McFatkins” and he’s been calling my guinea pig that for years now. It’s gotten to the point where my guinea pig responds to that better than he responds to his own name, all because my cousin overfeeds him treats while calling him “chubkins” or “Mr. McFatkins”

    lettuce child I have a guinea pig. I have always heard him squeak happily. I don’t go to school the whole day, so I have a lot of hours to play with Bubble. I was just playing with him earlier, for about 45 minutes. Sometimes guinea pigs are happy to live alone. I love my Bubble. I know he loves me from all the love he gives me! He has no problems. He is very calm and adventurous and happy! Please think that some people don’t need a second guinea pig, because they act like the guinea pig’s second pal. What I am trying to say is that sometimes, humans act like a second guinea pig to a guinea pig. Sorry if it does not make sense

    They are NOT Order Rodentia. They and capybara are the only mammals left of the Species Cavy. Cavy are born fully developed and able to fend for themselves in 5-10 minutes of birth. No rodent does that. Cavy also have unique digestive systems. That's why they eat their CECAL pills, but rarely their FECAL pills. Research it yourself.

    My guinea pig jake died in my lap, I played music for him while, covered him with a blanket, and stroked him. He also had a pillow under his head. He was comfortable, happy, and sick. He's been sick all his life, he had lung issues. The reason I know he has happy was because he was yawning, which is a sign of guinea pig happiness. Hopefully he's enjoying playing with his mate and brother. Rest in peace my little jake, I hope your little tights are still looking good!

    Some guinea pigs are astonishingly intelligent. I had a male American short-hair that was off-the-charts smart. He mastered about 8 different verbal commands ("sit", "come here", "go fetch your ball", "bring me your brush", etc.). He was also exceptionally friendly. Perhaps intelligence and friendliness go hand-in-hand. He also loved music. When my stereo was playing music, he would run over to the speaker and park himself there - occasionally squealing with pleasure. He also had what I would describe as a primitive sense of humor. He would sometimes come up to me and head-butt me, then run away squealing and pop-corning with pleasure when I yelled "bad pig." After about a minute or two of this victory dance, he would return and climb into my lap to show that there were really no hard feelings. He was a real charmer.

So far he’s broken 3 pairs by tossing them off to the side, making them hit the wall. He usually just ends up breaking the frames, but there was one time when the lenses got cracked from being tossed onto concrete

    Huh, I have one Guinea pig at the moment and she is quite content. No signs of depression, lack of energy, or lack of appetite. I originally had two but one of them passed away from old age a while ago. I would give her up to someone with another Guinea pig, but there is no guarantee she'll have a good life in another home and she originally came from an abusive home where she was locked away and malnourished on her own, so I prefer having her here, where she can be safe and a fat, healthy little Guinea pig. Idk why I commented this LOL but I did. 10/10 video!

    The law about not having one Guinea pig is understandable but we had a Guinea pig who couldn’t be around other guinea pigs. We tried for weeks but he would sit and tremble and not eat or drink if he was in the same house as other guinea pigs :/ he lived a very happy life as a free roam single guinea pig.

    Beingnormal yep, we adopted two brothers together when they were two weeks old. They used to fight a lot, at one point one of them was covered in blood. Unfortunately, one of them died at the age of 3 for unknown reasons, but when he died the left over piggie because MUCH more happy and relaxed- he literally used to be feral! He lived a happy life and died in December at a good age of 6, considering his brother died at 3- the litter may have been not the best genetically. Love you Billy!

    ​@@bernadettepotenti5350 Well, your guinea pig might not like the guinea pig that you had. If you had 2 male guinea pigs you would have to try many guinea pigs because males tend to be aggressive (humping, etc). If you have only tried one match instead of personally finding the most etiquette pig for you, it is hard to determine if it is "nonsense". Or, your pig could just be a guinea pig who does not have the characteristic of being social.

    Try just sitting down by their cage and hanging out with them, talking to them softly. That's what I did for my piggy when I first got him, and now he's super people friendly. I mean every guinea pig is different, but having them get used to yoir voice and overall presence will definitely help. Also guinea pigs instinctively bolt when startled, so don't always take it personally, sometimes they might just do that if you move too fast, they are naturally skittish little guys, but some are more skittish than others, it all depends on the guinea pig.

    Guinea pigs don't eat any poop they produce. They are certain specific ones, which they recognise by smell. Well, don't knw if they notice the difference already before they exit the guinea pig :) These special drops can be called 'vitamin capsules'. Well, we take vitamin drops also, but in different form :) These 'capsules' have a concentration of vitamins, which the short bowel system of the animal couldn't use in the first round: it just prepared the vitamins to be accessible. In the second round the guinea pigs gets the vitamins.

    They are a big responsibility just so you know. They need a big space to live in specially if you’re getting more than one (which I highly recommend since they are social animal) they do cost a lot of money and care. Other than cuddles and food they require dairy maintenance since they poop all day. I recommend you do your thorough research on them and if you are up for the care of guinea pigs then tell your parents all your information and commit to the cute little furries

    I used to think mine was trying to store his own poop. Like he was on some stranded island & worst case scenario... Eat your own poop. So I've always spot cleaned & he always squeaks & watches. He gets in the way sometimes too. So yes, I always thought he was trying to block me & he actually likes his own secretions. Like it was something comforting to him. Bc his smells = king of his own castle. Now that he's used to me, he seems like he may actually be a neat freak. Bc sometimes he even popcorns when I clean up his area. But I can't say I've ever witnessed him eat his own poop. But I wouldn't put it pass him if he did. I'm js, I've never seen him do it tho.
