if I may, I would also add that since you need to begin with at least two piggies, rescue centers can provide already bonded pairs which is particularly important with boys. :)

Yeah, my bestfriends family have a lot of guinea pigs but they had to give one to me because every guinea pig he has come across he bites. They took him to a shelter or rescue and they had to give him bavk because he caused a lot of health problems to the other guine pigs and they have permenant scars. So he is with me withoit any othed guinea pigs and I feel bad but he is a lot happier now.

@@Kaljies a little trouble maker... I'm afraid I have one who can't stand the direct company of any other as well (I have only boys and he has been agressive with all the others who were single). but, even on his own, he still has guinea pigs neighbours. they interact from pen to pen. he knows he's not alone. I'm sure it's part of his health improvement because he's getting better everyday ( he used to be neglected by his previous family. )

Thank you so much I've watched all of your videos in like 4 days my mom's boyfriend his hamster died and he went and bought some piggies and I absolutely love them and he was struggling understand the care until I came across your videos and now my friends want some piggies but I said watch you first

I have a tip for everyone. When building a custom cage which size cannot be changed make sure you will be able to reach every spot in the cage easily unlike I did and now it is almost impossible to catch the guinea pigs bc they know where I cannot reach.

Starting out with guinea pigs is indeed a big decision, but it can also be incredibly rewarding! Your comprehensive guide offers valuable insights for new owners, helping them navigate the responsibilities and joys of caring for these unique pets. It's fantastic to see resources like this tailored specifically for prospective guinea pig owners. I'm sure your video will be a helpful resource for many people embarking on this exciting journey. Keep up the great work! 😊🌟

Thanks for all the useful advice!👍

Thanks,I just got two guineas this is super helpful!!!

Just started on my journey, you're a big help ❣️

Just got my first Guinea pig today, and your video gave me lots of information. Thank you. Will be going to get a second one. Next week because my baby deserves a buddy

Thank you for giving us some advice! To be honest,you are a very nice person😍

I also brought two Guinea pigs named Awkwa and Phina last sunday. Today,I gave them to my cousin to look after as I would not stay at home and it was boring without them. Your videos are a great help. Thanks a lot.

Very much so ,me and my partner love them both ,just wondering if there are any pointers in bonding with them at first as they are very skiddish I know that's natural but maybe lap time with veggies or an open space close to us at first ? And work from there I really don't want to scare them 😂

Although I am a guinea pig owner for more then 20 years. I love to watch your video's. Most of the guinea pig KZread chanels sometimes forget to remake these video's. Standards for good piggy care has indeed changed over the years (thank God for that) And it is good that there is information out there, sometimes too overwhelming and a lot of disinformation too. So thanks for giving us all a good basic info on how to begin as a guinea pig owner 🙂

I don't have any at the moment but I love going on Pinterest and looking at different guinea pig cages for inspiration when I do get them. And alot of them are cute too!

i love your content and you are so good to your pigs and you know so much about piggies!!!😆

Hello Robin how are you doing today

How can these adorable creatures make you laugh and cry all in the same video?! Thanks in large part to your videos I am pretty well informed and able to confidently plan adopting a mini herd of piggies, but even now, it’s really useful to be reminded of just what a huge responsibility it is. Overall though, this video really does confirm that piggies are ‘my’ animal and I can’t wait to offer a few rescue piggies a forever home. And loving the ‘Bedro’ (sorry) x

I just got my very first piggies on Friday just gone and you and your piggies have been so helpful thank you soo much ❤️

Thanks, a Guinea owner trusted me their Guinea and we are thinking of getting an own one!

Excellent video!

I’ve adopted several Guinea pigs in the past. They’re terrific pets for the right owner!

Hello Lovely how are you doing today

I've been taking care of a guinea pig that just got dropped of randomly in front of my house, there was 2 but 1 was dead when we found them, my daughter named her Bella

I completely ditched any gates/borders entirely! Now my rabbit lives wherever he pleases in my room, he’s thrown around my shoes and pulled out my clothes from my closet shelf to lay on them. Lol My friends think it’s a bit chaotic but I love it, it encourages me to keep wires and other non rabbit friendly things up on shelves and away from him. He really likes it too and loves sitting by my feet or running up to meet me whenever I come home. My pants are also scratched and have holes in them, not that I mind I mostly wear scrubs and I keep those in a container on the highest shelf. XD

I recently went from 2 to 4 guinea pigs and I wish I never had just two. The older ones are so in love and happy now! And the younger ones seem so happy too. I regret always buying a pair before and really think they need more piggies than what's recommended.

you help so much

My 2 babies are over half a year old, so they are not fully comftrable with lots of humans around. I cuddle them everyday, i usually let the choose if they want to cuddle or not. And as soon as we move out from our apartment to a bigger house with bigger rooms. They can have half of my room, since i only have my bed and a TV. Im so exited to desing my new room when we get to the new house!

Tysm for making this shorter than some pet care guides. I have adhd and it’s hard to watch something that’s 30+ minutes long and this was super easy to understand and super informative bc im considering getting Guinea pigs so ty!

Watch out Sarah, Pedro looked soooo comfy there, the might try to steal your bed! 😁 On a serious note, this is all info I'm saving up for when I finally become a pig-mum myself! I always wanted a guinea pig when I was little, but my mum never liked them because she thought they were smelly outdoor pets. Now she says she wants them, because she now knows you can keep them indoors and they're not smelly! (No more than any other pet anyway.)

thanks a lot 😀

aww so cute

My dad does not agree with having guinea pigs indoors but I agree with having any pics indoors so my piggies have always lived inside with me and we have a amazing relationship

I pick my two up tomorrow they both female and around a year old they come from a family who surrended them to a pet shop near me all they asked was a £200 donation to an animal rescue then I can bring them home that £200 includes everything I need, I’m excited lol I’m 36 years old but more excited than my son who’s 9 lol 😂 x

My little piggy - Smokey - just died in my arms, today. He was 4 1/2 years old. It was very hot, but they are out in the hutch every summer. They have lots of shade. They had water - both in a bowl and a bottle. I think they must have turned over the bowl this morning. When I went to feed them after work, they were both almost dead. I put water on them. Echo perked up. He's okay. But Smokey wasn't with it. I gave him a cool bath and tried to get him to drink - wetting my pinky and putting it into his mouth. He was very weak. He passed. It may have been heat stroke. I'm very sad. So, whoever may be reading this: don't make the same mistake. Keep a sharp eye on your beasties in hot and cold weather.

This is going to sound like a silly question but could you please link your dust pan? I feel like the ones I have bought don't pick up the hay and poops like yours. Thank you for you videos! I find them very informative and fun!

I stumbled across this video trying to see how to take care of my new piggie. I tried telling my parents that he needed a buddy, but they replied with: “He’s been alone for his whole life. He doesn’t need a friend.” I’ve tried telling them he needs a bigger cage, but they said we have no room. His cage is 24 in. by 16 in. I try to spend as much time as I can with him, but I know it isn’t the same as a buddy. I have the diet down, but that’s it. I’ve also tried telling my parents that these aren’t good conditions for my piggie, but they said: “Are you watching more videos of people spoiling Guinea pigs? He’s fine.” I feel like a horrible owner and I don’t know how to help my pig. I don’t know why I’m writing this, because who will care about a comment on a year old video at the bottom? If anyone’s reading this, I’d like some advice on how to help my pig. Thanks.

I don't particularly appreciate how people think it's terrible to "spoil" your pet. you're not only spoiling your pet, but you're also actually helping your piggie out since the piggie isn't able to care for itself. I recently adopted two piggies so they aren't alone and depressed. instead of a cage, id recommends purchasing Transparent Clear Small Animal Playpen Fence Pen Enclosure, White Clear Plastic Playpen 12 X 12 Inch, 24 Panels they have room to roam around and you can build cute stuff in it. id get this regardless of what your parents think. it sounds like you are the owner and whos taking care of him.

maybe next time don't ask for a pet of you know that you won't be able to take a good care of it

#1 problem new owners have is getting the cages that the stores say is for piggies but are never actually that. Also it is law in some countries in the world that you cannot own a single guinea pig, as they are social animals and live their best lives with another, but where properly bonding your piggies together is a topic that is talked about but not stressed nearly enough. Having had gotten my second female pig over 2 years ago and having not done the introduction correctly, they've just now gotten to a point where they sleep close to one another and don't always fight over the food.

I'm going to make PigRat a hay tube. That looks neat

Just bought home a baby Guinea pig 😊 I love him I’m going to go back and get another one since they are better I’m pairs
