My piggy,Harley, will rumble and go up to my boss piggy,Hampton, and it looks like he kisses Hampton near his eye/face. It looks like Harley is being submissive?!Because he doesn’t try to bite Hampton EVER.❤I do a full sweep of their cage 2x per day ( rugs/bedding every 2-3 days) and it’s so satisfying when they start purring and chutting around their clean cage😊❤ My piggies are seniors (4-4 1/2) so they rarely popcorn, but they seem pretty happy, so I’m not worried ❤
This is an encyclopedia-scale survey of healthy vegetables for guinea pigs! You detail the nutrients in each vegetable introduced and widely include ethnic, cultural, and literary knowledge about the vegetables. This video is well-made and loaded with useful and valuable feeding tips for people who raise guinea pigs! I will be honored and happy to help promote this video! Thank you for making this and many other very informative and enjoyable videos! PS. It is so great to see Noodles again eating fresh corn, kale, and many vegetables! Noodles was very much loved! 🙏😀
Thank you so much for your kind words and amazing support. I did the video last year. I think it needs to be updated in three parts with more veggies and separate videos for fruits and herbs.
My gineau pig died today I don’t know how the temperature is good everything was good
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s not easy to lose a good friend that we took care of. Many things could have happened and don’t blame yourself. I feel your pain and we are with you. RIP little piggy 🌈🌈🌈
My guinea pigs are named Big Chungus and Smokey
Those are adorable names. We sometimes call Brownie big chungus too because she over 1.3 kg 🥰🤗🤗
I got a couple of loose stone tiles from the hardware store, clean them, and put them in the fridge and then in a corner of the cage. The fridge gets the tile nice and cool and the piggies can go lay on it. And it’s not so cold it will hurt them like from putting it in the freezer might
That's a great idea! Ceramic tiles and stones will evacuate the heat more quickly making them a nice and cozy place to rest. Putting them in the refrigerator ahead of time is a very good idea 👍🥰🥰
Is this inspired in little jonh
You got me. I want to show IRL how ridiculous are those videos with the fact that some pet store are selling ridiculously small cages 😅
I put cold water and ice cubes in a hot water bottle then wrap it in a thin towel and lay it in their cage so they can lay on top of it and it makes them so happy. I also fill plastic bottles, like water or pop bottles, half - 2/3 of the way full and put them in the freezer overnight (without the caps on so the bottles don't explode) then in the morning I fill them up the rest of the way with water and put the bottle in a couple of long socks then I put them behind their hides/hutches so it cools down the inside of the hide/hutch and around the cage for them to cool off next to without being in the hides/hutches
That’s awesome for them. I’m always amazed to my guinea pig lying next to it to enjoy the cold spot 🤗🥰🥰🥰
It’s 106* today where I live and it makes me so worried-I won’t leave them alone too long- even though they have full water bottles (I throw in an ice cube.too!) And I don’t have AC, but I have a mini one- that’s like a swamp cooler in the room.Just about to get the frozen water bottles out and feeding them veggies 🥗.Thanks for the tips ❤
Wow 106 is really hot. Thankfully you are there for them. Adding ice cubes to in bowl and giving them frozen water bottles will help them. 🥰😊😊
Good video👍
Thank you 😊
The signs of distress in regards to heat stroke can also be signs of other medical illness, So if a not so experienced guinea pig parent/owner thinks something is wrong with their guinea pig they should just call the vet regardless.
That’s absolutely true. Anything unusual needs to ring a bell and check with a vet to avoid a worst situation. 😊
I love that with Guinea pigs you can hear how happy they are! Those are the very cutest noises. 🥹
That’s so true they can express lots of emotions with their sonde 😊❤
Does the ovner also live in a 2m squared box?
Rest assured that Brownie lives in a much bigger habitat with her fellow cage mates 🥰🤗
How do you tell the difference between rumbling and purring?
That’s an excellent question because both sounds can be similar. It will mostly depend of the context. As example Raven will purr when she is happy when she fresh hay. Then she will rumble when she gets blocked by and other piggy to go on the second floor. She will also have an in between pur-rumble when we put her on the floor and there is no cage around. Seems like she is a bit anxious when she doesn’t have any references point. She is not a free roamer like Sarah and Brownie.
Cant even do a video without ai now this world is becoming 1 big fucking joke with not a single soul having an individuality.... wake tf up
Oh my gosh---love it! Love you Brownie!!
Thanks 😊
I hope this is a fucking joke
You’re right and we should tell the same to the pet store who sells those ridiculous small cages
@@GuineaPigFacts yea that's so cruel. There should be more laws about that, most people dgaf about animal's feelings and needs and that's so sad... I used to have two piggies and they had the best life and everything they needed. I would love to get more piggies but now I live in a small apartment and I work full shift so it would be selfish of me and unfair with them if I adopted and left them all day alone at home. Even in pairs, they need attention and a lot of space. Wish every piggie could have a happy and safe home, they are amazing lil creatures 💗
I get what you did here! 😉 Filling a tiny space all Brownie could do WAS dream....for a friend and a BIG home ! 😴 Bless you Brownie for being an ambassador for new piggie owners and hopefully teaching the less experienced hoomans 🙏. Brownie celebrating her 1st birthday and moving out! 🤣🤣 Humorous and Clever Brownie 😂😍 Getting the message across ! 👍
Thanks for your comment. Brownie is the youngest and she likes to do everything by herself 🥰🥰👍
@@GuineaPigFacts Very independent girl! 🙂
By any chance is the guinea pigs owner little john?
If little Johnny watch my videos he will be able take good care of his guinea pigs and built an excellent cage for them🤓🥰🥰
I love your setup for your piggies!And they’re so adorable 🥰 Thank you for sharing these tips-Guinea Pigs are so sweet and deserve the best ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
😂Does Brownie know DAVID (from luxury designs,I think) cuz he has the same decorating ideas!No space to move,but tons of stuff 😂 I have 3 piggies in a 5x2 C and C cage,with 2 wooden houses that have 4 exits,a woven wood tunnel, and a balcony with a ramp that is 8” wide on a very gradual incline (cuz they’re senior piggies and don’t like to climb, but they can easily jump up there when they WANT TO.)Plus,they like to lay under the balcony 😊So it’s set up so they can run around the entire cage easily, but still have hiding spots and escape routes when they don’t want to be near the other ones.Their setup seems luxurious, but all items are $7-15(I’m on a VERY tight budget!)The most expensive thing was the wood tunnel at $20! They have the entire cage lined with small nubby rugs. The ease of cleaning them is astonishing, and then you can put them in the washer every couple days so that your piggies stay clean and dry!❤ All things I got from Amazon/Temu and the rugs from Target ($7)- because I have tried others, but they weren’t as thick/well-made and didn’t wick well. Cardboard boxes and paper bags work fine and ALL piggies love them,if your budget is even tighter- the piggies won’t complain(and they get satisfaction when they chew and nibble on them )😂❤
That's wonderful, You are right that we can do lots of thing for them without braking the bank. The fleece liner can be purchase in a thrift store and many accessories can be made with recycled cardboard box and tube. I have to admit that the next thing we will try are the bathroom rugs to save on laundry. Thank you so much for your support.
I have been using the frozen bottle in a sock for a couple years,but I recently got some cooling mats for them that are * kinda * like mini air mattresses (but thick) and they have a place to put cold water in.There is a thick border of cotton sewn around it so that they can’t chew/bite/mangle it 😂❤Love the channel,btw🎉
That sounds amazing I will try to get them. We also those lunch box ice pack inside their hideout. It drops the temperature and they are more comfortable 🤗🥰🥰
What kind of food you give?Talking about you too
We give them Hay, pellets made for guinea pigs with added vitamin C, and veggies. Sometimes they receive a bit of fruit like once a week 🥰🥰
Ей будет там тесно😢
It's not for real. It's to show why small cages are NOT ok
@@fitzguineavisionОк хорошо
Don’t do this at home. Brownie is an expert at escaping and she already moved back with the herd. Just like little Johny’s video. This is not suitable for living👍😅🥰🥰
To summarize, if you lack money, the most important thing, first of all, is to give your little companion at least one friend and a lot of space, the decorative and cozy side logically taking second place.... if I have correctly Understood. Indeed, I'm French, and you speak so quickly that I don't have time to read the subtitles 😂🤣. Cozy is good, but very large is even better and even essential 😊! Otherwise, you might as well not have guinea pigs. Have a nice day ✨🤝👋
Great summary 😊❤
@@kristiemarsh49 Thank you very much 😄❤️👋
You’re right this is a domination that guinea pigs need a much bigger cage to live happy. Little Brownie didn’t stay long and she go plenty treat after the video🤗🥰🥰🥰
@@GuineaPigFacts 😄 I don't doubt it for a moment 😄🥰🤝✨❤️
I live in Western Australia and we get some very hot days. I have filled up an empty ice cream container with water, taped it up and put in freezer. Then put the entire container in their area but on its lid side down. As I notice they like to lie on top of their hides, it made me think they would love it. It works and lasted ages to defrost. But taped up meant it never leaked. Just stick back in the freezer and if room in your freezer then have a few to rotate
That’s a very good idea to share with them especially after that you enjoy the ice cream 😅🥰🥰
Mine guinea pig nsme is buttercup
That’s a lovely name. I like it 🥰🥰🥰
boar name is sunny
Sunny is such an adorable name. 🥰🥰🥰
I love your accent and how much care you take with your little piggies! Great video!
Thank you so much! Your comment makes me feel like I want to do more videos. 🥰🥰🥰
Wait i have 2 piggies and i never knew that they have tails WHAT?! 😅
It hidden inside🤓🥰🥰
❤
On the roof of their cavy, I put a towel that I kept in the freezer. before you water it. It becomes a frozen towel. It creates a cool environment
Thank you for sharing that trick. It's a really good idea to bring the temperature down in their cage. 🥰🥰🥰
Great idea 🎉❤
You are a sweet person with wonderful piggies and wonderful, helpful videos! The ceramic tile is brilliant!
Thank you so much! I really glad that you appreciate this hack. 😁🥰🥰🥰
I forgot all about ceramic tiles even tho I have a few lol
I've also heard that some guinea pig will use to wear down their nails. Ours are too spoiled and they enjoy having their nails done with a treat at the end😁😂
👍 Je ne connaissais pas les plaques en céramique pour les rafraîchir. Mais c'est normal car je n'ai plus de cochons d'Inde depuis longtemps 😄. Je suis sûre que vous aidez beaucoup de personnes à prendre soin de nos merveilleux petits amis. Bravo et merci pour eux. Bonne journée et par avance, bon week-end 🫶🐹🌹
Merci beaucoup pour le commentaire, cela est vraiment apprécié,.🥰🥰🥰
Idk why but I have 2 Guinea pigs and they fight sometimes🤷♀️
That’s normal for some male guinea pigs as long as they don’t injure themselves
@@GuineaPigFacts oh okay! Also, a long time ago one of them were bleeding, it was a small droplet that turned into a small puddle, she recently stopped but why was she bleeding? Maybe it’s cuz she older than her sister-
@@GuineaPigFacts oh also, both of them are girls..but idk if my eldest one is now-
Also, there are these horrifying parasites called warbles. I've seen videos of bunnies kept outdoors who are suffering from those nasty things, and it's upsetting! It breaks my heart to see these poor little bunnies suffering with them. I believe that pets should be indoors, unless it's a horse, which wouldn't be too happy inside the house. (Just pet proof the house if you let bunnies roam the house, as they do chew on stuff.)
Thanks for sharing. It’s true that some nasty bugs can be attracted by guinea pigs. We had a flea problem last year and it took many weeks and vet visits to get rid of them.
My guinea pig died yesterday I have one remaining and I am not getting another even though he is only four because: They could kill each other or hurt each other or fight The vet recommended not to I have time to play with him almost every day It will start a endless cycle of having guineas for the rest of your life 😭
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s not easy to lose a good companion. Take good care of the other piggy. Your little one must feel as sad as you and together you will get through it. 🌈🥰🥰🥰
🌬️🧊❄️🐹 Your little darlings are under guard; they risk nothing 😄! 🤝❤️🙏
That you so much 🥰🥰🤗
My gini pig is 1year old
Thant's great, keep up the good work and enjoy every precious moment with your guinea pig
No sure if piggies would like it the same but when I kept rats and the temp would get too high the common suggestion is to put a flat stone or tile in the freezer for a couple hours, wrap it in a towel and place it in the cage. This gives the animals a cool zone to scratch out that they can also move away from if they want. The tile will stay pretty cold for a couple hours and if you keep a couple in the freezer to rotate out you can always have a cool spot for them.
That’s an excellent idea. I use ceramic tiles and frozen ice packs under the fleece bedding.
Even from 25°C you have to start being careful
Temps over 186 degrees fahrenheit is dangerous to most living things
That's definitely too hot! even the caption from capcut got mest up.
😂-True.❤
Yeah 186⁰f would be dangerous for anyone if you ask me.
I think my keyboard got sticky because it was too hot and sweaty.
@@GuineaPigFacts😂❤
Aww. I always feel bad when I see animals in the hot sun. I never know how they feel but i guess when being smart and having a pet youll know.
It's definitely not easy for them but in the nature they can finds way to protect themself. When they are kept inside a house or in a car, they are very limited in what they can do, and it can become harmful.
This is German Boyfriends channel, I can tell by the voice
yes!! it must be him
lmao that’s what his voice reminded me of too
Omg!!!! I’m so glad it wasn’t just me thinking that!!! I was like?! It can’t be?! I didn’t know Uyen and her boyfriend had piggies?! 😂
vielen Dank
You are really good at making videos 😊
Thank you so much 😀 Your piggies are really adorable.
