Update on my piggies: they still don’t like me very much, I can go I to the room where there cage is and they run away from me. When I pick them up they let me hold them tho. There cages gets very stinky so Deep clean it about every 2-3 days. When I put them in a laundry basket with a blanket underneath they run from me at first but then they seem to enjoy my pets on there ears. Overall I love my pigs but I wish they would feel the same way about me!🥲😁😚💗

Hii! I have a question as I’m wondering about getting a guinea pig! 😊 Do they need to be able to graze on grass? I live in an apartment and it doesn’t have a garden! Also another thing is, do they get scared by dog barking? People walk their dogs by the apartments and the bark SO MUCH! It’s ok if you can answer! :)

@@zoe-ci3xv loud noises do startle the piggies. Mine are upstairs and away from my dogs so they don’t hear them. But over time i think they will get used to the loud barking from time to time. It might take a little longer for them to be comfortable because of the shocking loud noises tho. I have taken my pigs outside to play with the kids I babysit(on the grass) and they liked it, but it’s not a necessary need. I’m not the perfect pet parent but that is what I have gathered throughout my pig Journey so far. I hope this helps at least a little bit!😁

Very nice that you mentioned the cage size and how most sold cages are too small. And also that you should never have one alone, but always two! That is sooo important and everyone getting guinea pigs should know this.
Thinks I’m doing right 😃!: -Everybody has at least 1/2 buddies in my herd -Big space!! -Fresh veggies every morning and evening(7am-5pm) -Nails trimmed every week or so and groomed every week -Pellets, hay, and water always refilled -Play with them for at least 20 minutes a day! (Each) -Make fun little games for them to entertain them! I love my little herd! ❤️ 3 boys: Apollo, Patch, and Bruno 3 girls: Cleo, August, Lady

I too have a Cleo 😊 And two more girls, Phoebe and Sheba. Sadly my elderly gent Tipsy, had to be put to sleep.😢 I held him as he crossed the Rainbow 🌈. Oh yes we cry, but I have always stayed with my pets large or small, you owe it to them to show you love them, as they loved us unconditionally all their lives 💗 I also have a big space for my piggies. I don't intend reducing it, even though I'm almost on the pavement outside....on the sofa.... watching TV!! lol 😆 My girls have a 3x5 grid and floor time for "play time" and love to zoom. They are going for a nail trim tomorrow, as they're young and still skittish, I want them to have a good experience, without any mishaps!😱. They are coming out of their shell and climb on me for treats, but scream blue murder when picked up, no matter how gentle! 😅 They do calm down, when THEY are ready. They may never be like to be picked up, but kindness and gentleness ALL THE TIME is the key to a piggies heart, (🐹 don't forget the treats!! 🥕🥬)

Actually very often guinea pig stress themselves out a lot....l think we did a mistake by having too.... from time to time we have to split them in different cages and slowly introduce them again, for some time they are good and than again same process. I feel my guinea pig that was alone lived stress free life,was much more comfortable doing stuff, interacting with us and we spent quite a lot time with him, sister would do her homework and guina was sleeping or cuddling in her lap.

For a long time I wanted rats as pets, but when I went to summer camp they had a place where you could pet animals and stuff and they had a Guinea pig there who I just LOVED and he loved me (I could tell his emotions because of my knowledge on rats and also when I got home I looked it up again just to make sure).

PLEASE read this all if you have a male guinea pig. If you have a guinea pig under 2 years. Hold him EVERY day and check his butt. If it looks red/swollen and or has poop stuck. Try and pull/squeeze it out or he will die! Dont make the same mistake i did.. i lost my piggie due to this :( if your male guinea pig does not move, eat or drink, Rush them to a vet! Please. If you have a male guinea pig around 2 - 3 also, keep checking his butt till hes 4 years! dont make the same mistake i did. I hope this helps. bye

Amazing video, thank you! I'd like to get 2 guinea pigs, but I travel a lot (1 hour trip with the car, normal road, once a week or once every two weeks to visit family-and then back home, of course). Will these trips be super stressful for the piggie? Would it help if I sit in the rear seats and soothe it on my lap? (By petting and maybe giving them a treat).or should getting them be out of the question?
The close caption for "long-haired" came out as "lunkhead" hahaha...Hey reet-rats have feelings too! :) Great presentation and solid facts and knowledge. I'll wager that most people my age (57) in America had reet-rats when we were kids and maybe as teens too and never knew most of this stuff. I'd love to own a pair now but schedule doesn't really permit it.
I only have one i found out about pairs to late since the other got sold by the time i had the money tho im happy hes ok have him for 7years about to be 8years i don’t want to think when he passes but it something i have to be prepared for the next time i get one in a pair that time it’ll be a long time before i do.

And rabbits don’t belong in cages! 😩
To late and the intro made my guinea pigs squeak and popcorn
I pig went crazy for the sound in the intro
I watched this on October and I got guinea pigs on April 2021
The cage shown at 0:31 was my starter cage
As a fellow Guinea pig owner it makes me so mad seeing the tiny Guinea pig cages it makes me so sad seeing poor Guinea pigs not having enough room to run around

It's really sad when they don't have the space they need. They need a lot more than many people realise.
Awe I just rescued a little few month old from a family member giving her bad care … I’ve never wanted a piggie or even seen one. So when I heard the noises she made I became in love ! Now I have a Guinea pig child I NEED to learn how to care for ! Yikes 😬

Hello Kristen how are you doing today
I remember my aunt got me Guinea pig and I really loved him but ended up being allergic to him which wasn’t fun, so they had to return him to the pet shop I’ve only had him for two days and was about to get him another Guinea pig because I read that but sadly I couldn’t
I have 1 guinea pig but she is so happy and loves to run on my bed and lay with me

That sounds really cute :) Have you thought about getting a second guinea pig? They do like to have a friend of their own kind - you might like our video on whether guinea pigs can live alone - you can watch it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/amyHmMR8npndp5s.html
I've had a few rabbits over the years and I'm curious to see if it's similar to rabbits. I'm not going to get one myself however.
I have a hamster, his name is BMO, 4 months old rn. Thinking about getting a Guinea pig because the petshop I saw them at has a small shitty tank/cage thingy with 3 of them in it. Thank you for the advice!
