    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!😁

    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). So now I’m considering getting Guinea pigs (but rats are still number 1).

    Hi Cassandra, I hope this video is helpful and do bear in mind that we always recommend getting a pair of guinea pigs because a single guinea pig can get depressed - you might want to check out our video on "can a guinea pig live alone" kzread.info/dash/bejne/amyHmMR8npndp5s.html. You might also want to check out our website for lots more advice here www.guineapiggles.com :)

    GUYS. IF YOU HAVE A MALE GUINEA PIG PLEASE READ THIS!! Around 2 - 3 human years male guinea pigs poop will get blocked up. When that happens they dont eat or drink. 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

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?

    Hi! I just got 2 beautiful 4 week old male Guinea pigs today! We keep them in an outdoor cage but it is sheltered with blankets and a verandah. We live in a cold area but we included warm blankets, beanies and A LOT of fleece. Do you think this will be okay? Also they seem very scared and and worried, I think it’s just because they were separated from their family and maybe just still settling in but I just want to clarify that this is normal. Great video! Can’t wait to be an amazing mum! ❤❤
