My two boars are complete opposites during free roaming time: Wally sits in his castle, eating; Fleming runs about like a loon and gets into everything.
My girl Phoebe loves to explore the entire room, my boar Finny follows her but always stays on the blanket waiting for her to come back when she explores the room on the wooden floor 😅 She is also quite the escape artist to get behind the closed off parts of the living room. I love piggie personalities 🥰🤭
Yeah sometimes there's say this one who scared and hides on the fleece liners, and the adventurer (who thinks there queen of the house) mine are sisters and are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
Great video of some fun times! We have two boars in a flat, they live in the kitchen but are full time free. They have a double cage set up and run with the usual hay loaded dispensers taking up half the kitchen, and they have a big mat in the living room with another hay dispenser. They just run back and forth as they see fit. Milo is 7 now and has not known a locked door for years, he’s a very nice and trustworthy Guinea. Cheesers is a younger new friend after a sad passing of our other boy, and has only been granted increasing freedoms since last October. Generally they’re both full-time free now even when we’re out, and choose to spend most of their time in the cages with their own sticks and blanket forts. They certainly take themselves to bed every night and are always in the kitchen in the morning. Even though they could go into bedrooms, they don’t bother, there’s no hay in there so it’s boring.
Absolutely lovely to see your herd in a chain and following each other. My three (2 sisters 4+yrs and 1 neutered boar 2+yrs) live in a 3x5 C&C diy built home in the lounge. Free roaming is done in the 12x10 foot conservatory and my goodness, they pee everywhere. Mostly under the armchair, so I flatten out a large cardboard box and place it under the chair and cover the large rug with a mattress protector. Their hay box (similar to yours) goes in with them too, as well as their hideys, hammock and tunnels.
We used an old glass table that we built a wooden box to sit on top of it. Fleece and liner go on the tabletop. We use kitty litter boxes that we cut doors into and put paper bedding into them.
My two boys have an open hutch in the lounge with a covered area on the floor next to it which is where they go to pee/ poop. I usually use washable puppy pads with fluffy bath mats on top. Then they can explore the lounge as they please. I’ve blocked off a couple of areas for safety also. They seem to know that they don’t poop or pee on the carpet. Never have done so I guess I’m just lucky! They don’t like the lino floor leading to the kitchen so they are nicely contained. They enjoy running around in the larger area and also have a treat ball that I fill with pellets that they push around which is so cute to watch ❤ I also make a ramp out of sofa cushions so they can come up and sit by me in the evening, and they go up and down as they please. I do bribe them with pea flakes lol but then they enjoy snuggling in a blanket and having their fur brushed. Then at the end of the day they put themselves to bed upstairs in their hutch. 🐹🐻💖
I got two enclosures for floor time and I link them together in a bigger circle. It gives enough space for me to lie down with them and spend some time on my phone or with a book. I especially like doing that outside when the weather is nice. My piggies are very happy with their cage! I originally got a 2x4 C&C cage but I keep upgrading it. It's now 2x8 with an additional 2x2 loft. The 2x2 loft is very popular with my piggies; their favorite part about it is the two ramps, which provide a fun little race track when they get the zoomies. If you get a loft I really recommend getting two ramps for that reason. They also like hiding out underneath the loft - I made a little DIY "fleece forest" for them under there. It's very easy to make your own fleece forest for cheap.
Good afternoon from America. I always enjoy watching the herd, especially when they free roam and give us a piggie train or two. I’m especially looking forward to the new piggie room; I’m sure it will be worth the wait❤❤❤❤
My 4 have a 24 square foot c&c cage in a t shape. It started off as 2 separate 5x2's, then with a bit of added correx is now a 4x3 (the top of a capital "T", whereas the bottom is 6x2. With various wooden houses, a carrot house, bowls, hay etc, even that doesn't feel big enough at times, they still run into each other when doing zoomies 😂. Because of the size of cage, they don't really get floor time. They socialise with me when I get in their cage to clean them (it's that big it's easier to just get in, with them still in there), or a bit of lap time
We have two female piggies. One very senior 7 year old and a 2 year old girl. Our cage setup includes a Midwest with a ramp that goes into a traditional pet shop cage. We use the hard bottom one as our "kitchen" for easy cleanup. Also our senior piggy sometimes needs a break from her much younger cagemate, so we will close off the ramp if required.
They're so cute, reminds me of when my sister and I had guinea pigs as kids and they ran around the conservatory floor in a guinea train. Their bums wobbling is so cute 😂❤
aww, love the piggy trains!! we've stopped floor time - we did all day free roam daily for a long time but found they didn't venture very far in the end (even with fleece liners and hideys etc).. so we've now upgraded their cage from an L shape 2x6+2x2 to a 3x6 (about 220x110cm) , DIY c+c from amazon/ebay. They are lucky enough to be in our living room so lots of interaction and can still hop out if we take a grid off. Downside is having to get in the cage to clean it! I'd totally recommend to anyone who has the space to have their piggies in the living areas
Love that❤. My piggies free roam too. I do exactly what you say about having an area on the floor where they can go to the bathroom. I don't let them stay too long under the table for example in case of a poop accident. I have to say I can count on one hand in 3 and a half years of owning them, that I've found a stray poop on the carpet 😊
Really enjoyed this video, watching the antics of all the piggies! So cute when Phoebe and Callie touched noses. Looking forward to the video about cages/enclosures. We have a Mid-West for our solitary (mostly blind) piggy, it's 47" x 24". Everything has to be kept in the same configuration. She gets along quite well! (Love your new home, by the way!)
Our boys live in a large animal run in the lounge, and if it's too wet and/or cold for them to go outside, we just open the door of the run and they have free rein of the entire room.
Your piggies are so adorable! Nacho and his constant bed head always makes me smile. I have 2 boars that I adopted from the local Humane Society. Twix is the more adventurous one, and Snickers is a bit shy. For their enclosure I took 2 Midwest cages, removed the divider and floor covers, and hooked them together. It's roughly 2 ft by 10 ft, so they have lots of space. For free roam time, I add a large x-pen.
This was such a fun and informative video. I know I've told you this before, but the best part of your videos are quite often the comments that your piggies make. They are such comedians. I loved when Nacho called himself "the fluffy one". My piggies aren't really much for exploring, but they do love when I sit with them in the large area that I've made for floor time. They like to crawl up and down on me as I read to them. They're partial to mysteries. Lol!
I got 2 female Guinea pigs a couple weeks ago called Maple and Willow. I love your videos, they have been so helpful with all my questions. They are living in a C&C cage in my room. I think a great video idea would be Guinea pig sounds and their meanings because I've looked everywhere and they all say different things.
Loved this video, so cute to see the herd piggie training around your living room. We have two guinea pigs, 1 year old sisters that share a 6 x 2 CC Cage setup in an L shape. Works really well to give when space to themselves if they want as they can be a little grumpy with each other at certain times of the month.
My piggies have a C&C cage 4x2, but it’s open 24/7.. so they do whatever they want and they can walk anywhere, also to the balcony (when the temperature is fine for them). And they don’t bite anything, only chairs which I covered and now they are not interested in the chairs 🤪 After letting them to be free in the apartment, I won’t close them anymore in the cage, I see that any cage is too small for them.. they can live as a cat or a dog, using all the apartment for them and having their own main place 😌 And of course, before to do that, it’s necessary to check everything, to be sure that each corner is safety for them.
I have a little straw forage toy that I put out for floor time with lots of veggies in it. I also love the little puzzles where the piggies have to get under a lid to get some parsley. My piggies are not explorers. They stick to the 6 bath mats that I put out for them. But they seem to love floor time with special cozies.
My two piggies, Pumpkin and Nimbus (female and neutered boar), have a C&C cage. They love it! It's a 2x4 and the way I have it set up is perfect for them. I'm really happy about this floor time video because I've down some floor time/free roam in the past but it's always been difficult because we've either lived in a home with dogs and the only space was my bedroom (which wasn't very big), or now we live in a studio apartment so me and my piggies are in the "room" since that's all a studio apartment really is. So unfortunately there's not too much space for them to get around. I think my best course of action is going to be getting another pen to attach to the first one that I have to make it bigger to give them a decent enclosed space to run around in. I don't think it'd be safe to just have them free roam my apartment like I'd like them to. I always worry that I'm not doing enough for them, but then I remember that they're very happy and loved and looked after and they often come up to me when I go to say hi so I must be doing something right. I know they love me too even if it's just because I bring them food. I love my little piggies!
I look forward to your videos as they educate as well as entertain us. Love how they all get along and I am totally impressed with how they don’t pee or poop (well maybe one or two) on the floor or carpet. Wish mine didn’t as it would make it easier for me to do more free roams for them. 😊
I have tiles in my room, which my girls really love especially in Summer when it gets very hot here.They love to just pancake out on the tiles hehe I've bought C&C grids, and might even get more, that I use to build an area for them. With other pets in the house it;s a bit hard to have a large area for floor time, but I only have 2 girls and they really enjoy running around my room. I have a lot of liners and accessories for them to use during floor time so they don't get too cold on the tiles or slip around. We don't do it so much in winter because it's a bit too cold if the floor isn't fully covered
at first we were using two pre-made cages close to each other linked with one side open. but as the pigs grew up i did not like the hop over the side. so i build cage of wood planks and used top parts of the cage to stop them from jumping out. Then i cut off 1 wide wall of two of the cages and increased the area for them to roam. Now they have about 6m^2 wooden cage and ground floor open for them all the time with one cage being under the table so they can hide there and still see whats going on in home without me woring they will go under the table and poop.
My piggies are totally different when it comes to free roam floor time lol 😂 My Queen Phoebe says sorry can't move I'm preparing to audition to guinea pig my 6lb life And Lois, well you might as well give her the whole room it's hers now to sniff every single inch
Its definitely a personal thing. Some like it, some dont. Most of mine through the years were not into it, maybe because they live in a large enclosure already. Two of them would go round until they kind of park under cover, and one boar, Ronnie Red, would signal his desire to go back by standing next to one leg of the big table the enclosure is on.
Your Piggos are so cute!! My girls have a 2x5 C&C cage with a 2x2 loft. It’s currently shared by 2 female Guinea pigs, one 5 year old and one 6 month old (yes I’m aware of the drastic age difference 😂), but as we usually have 3, we’re hoping to get them a new friend this summer (hopefully one between their ages lol). We let them free roam the living room whenever we clean the cage, and as our apartment has wood floors and they’re mostly litter trained, we don’t have too much of a problem. Our senior girly has adopted a favorite sleeping corner behind a potted palm tree tho, which is kind of annoying to clean sometimes 😅
I would love to have you do a cage reaction video! I have a handmade cage. C&c grids framed with wood from my parents farm and is live to see what you thought. I love seeing other people's cages too! Always gives me me ideas of things to try😊
Such an informative video! My three girls have a 3 by 8 C&C cage that’s simply made from two large sheets of coroplast from Lowes and a few packs of Amazon basics grids.
Just put my piggies back from their day of free roaming...they zoom around for hours, then they enjoy their veggies, before going back to a clean enclosure where they can pass out😂❤
My experience is so very different from yours. My 4 piggies pee ALL THE TIME. In their cage they have a very large hay tray where they pee (and poop), but they also pee all over, and immediately during attempts at floor time. We've tried in a 50"x50" playpen, and they pee in it immediately. They also all seem scared during floor time, and all just huddle in the corners.
Aww I love that video I personally love doing floor time with my 2 boars and sadly my cage is a pet shop cage but I do give them loads of floor time in the same room as I have a dog as well which cuts down my space luckily summmer coming and I do have a bigger outdoor cage and still get floor time outside if it’s not raining if wet they go in the hall way can.t use in winter to cold xxxx
Brilliant video! I have c and c cages for my guinea pigs. I have one 4 by 2 and one 5 by 2. And ever since I started following you (about 3 years ago) I have been abke to transform my piggies lives and improve them so much so thank you. I am looking to start floor time with my piggies. I have 4 boars, but they are in 2 separate pairs. I would just have to get some grids to block places off then I'm good to go! Also how often do you do floor time with your pigs or how often is good for starting out?
Hello! Yesterday my Guinea pig choked on her bedding and died at least 2 hours later now I know to use blankets you have made me learn so much! I am getting a New Guinea pig on Wednesday it will be a long haired one🥰
Never thought such a calamity could happen. For years my piggies were on pine & aspen bedding. Finally made the switch to fleece bedding. Lots of laundry loads every day but so worth it. So sorry about your much loved piggie. Please all, consider that guinea pigs are HERD animals. Sam sex & compatible of course
I free roam mine but the set up takes so long. I’ve got an open kitchen/living room and multiple unsafe areas which have to be blocked off. I also have to cover everything in rugs otherwise they attempt to eat the wooden floor. I also had to block off part of the wall as one tried eating the wallpaper. It’s worth it but wish I could do a set up like yours.
My guinea pig enclosure also is a cc grid one. I brought it as a set online but I’ve added additional things like more cc grids and correx sheets from elsewhere to increase the space they have.
I got my boy Kiwi in my room with me His cage is on the floor so I just leave it open and just let him go ham He's like a little dog coming to great you Everytime you go into my room Then he tries to bite my foot occasionally when I'm at my desk (Absolute no reason I guess he thinks my toe is one of his treats 💀)
I just got a pair of baby piggies last week. for the most part they trust me. Their cage is quite small but I was thinking about getting them a playpen or something for them to roam around to explore. I think that free roaming might be a little overwhelming, but do you have any recommendations for a playpen?
One of my guinea pigs doesnt explore at all. He just sits in his hideout when he is not in his cage. How can I make him explore or should I be worried?
I’m finding that pet stores don’t stock the fleecy waterproof liners here in Australia. I have ordered some on but it takes forever to get them and I don’t really know the quality. I ordered 3. I’m still waiting for them.
hey i have a question, so basically i have 2 piggies and they have like blankets on the floor of it and even though they have some hides they still only go under the blankets. So is there anything i can do to make them go into the hides?
I just got a guinea pig named Milo, he is alone because he is aggressive to other piggies, is it ok to keep him by himself? Also I love phoebe (she’s my favorite!!)
If he really doesn’t get on with other piggy’s then I’d definitely recommend getting him a bar buddy (basically a piggy he can interact with but in separate cages!)❤
My two boars are complete opposites during free roaming time: Wally sits in his castle, eating; Fleming runs about like a loon and gets into everything.
My girl Phoebe loves to explore the entire room, my boar Finny follows her but always stays on the blanket waiting for her to come back when she explores the room on the wooden floor 😅 She is also quite the escape artist to get behind the closed off parts of the living room. I love piggie personalities 🥰🤭
Yeah sometimes there's say this one who scared and hides on the fleece liners, and the adventurer (who thinks there queen of the house) mine are sisters and are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
Great video of some fun times! We have two boars in a flat, they live in the kitchen but are full time free. They have a double cage set up and run with the usual hay loaded dispensers taking up half the kitchen, and they have a big mat in the living room with another hay dispenser. They just run back and forth as they see fit. Milo is 7 now and has not known a locked door for years, he’s a very nice and trustworthy Guinea. Cheesers is a younger new friend after a sad passing of our other boy, and has only been granted increasing freedoms since last October.

I enjoy watching the adventures of guinea pigs 🐾🐾

Boom Boom and Pow Pow run freely and it makes them SO HAPPY and brave, Boom Boom is the "leader" ❤ I love your videos! #guineapigslove

I also make a ramp out of sofa cushions so they can come up and sit by me in the evening, and they go up and down as they please. I do bribe them with pea flakes lol but then they enjoy snuggling in a blanket and having their fur brushed. Then at the end of the day they put themselves to bed upstairs in their hutch. 🐹🐻💖

So cute 😍 I love the ginny pigs
Seeing Nacho running about brings joy to my heart
Where can you get those panels that you corner of escape roots
After the week I have I need something cute and this is what I need

They're all beautiful but the yellow one with the black face and ears I want him so bad, i'm in love
It's a she😅
a breed with that colour pattern is the himalayan guinea pig!
I have a little straw forage toy that I put out for floor time with lots of veggies in it. I also love the little puzzles where the piggies have to get under a lid to get some parsley. My piggies are not explorers. They stick to the 6 bath mats that I put out for them. But they seem to love floor time with special cozies.

The baby one is so cute🤍🤎🖤
She's 2 years old now - but still the baby of the group, she's just stayed small bless her 🥰

My boyfried made a DIY cage 1,70m x 2m in size for my 4 neutered males
6:46 bugs when you lift up a rock
What a lovely extravaganza!!😁😁😁
My piggies are totally different when it comes to free roam floor time lol 😂
My Queen Phoebe says sorry can't move I'm preparing to audition to guinea pig my 6lb life
And Lois, well you might as well give her the whole room it's hers now to sniff every single inch
Hahaha, Phoebe and Lois sound like such characters 😄😂
😂😂😂😂 good one 😅
Its definitely a personal thing. Some like it, some dont. Most of mine through the years were not into it, maybe because they live in a large enclosure already. Two of them would go round until they kind of park under cover, and one boar, Ronnie Red, would signal his desire to go back by standing next to one leg of the big table the enclosure is on.
Oh yes! I love the piggy train! 💕😁🥰😍👍😘🤗🌹
My little Charlie has always been a free roam piggy he has a cage “we call it his bedroom” but the door is always open 😊
Callie waddling ❤️
I have a 4x2 c&c grid enclosure for my 2 boys marmalade and juniper 😊
Having a dark brown carpet is a good idea!!!
Your Piggos are so cute!! My girls have a 2x5 C&C cage with a 2x2 loft. It’s currently shared by 2 female Guinea pigs, one 5 year old and one 6 month old (yes I’m aware of the drastic age difference 😂), but as we usually have 3, we’re hoping to get them a new friend this summer (hopefully one between their ages lol). We let them free roam the living room whenever we clean the cage, and as our apartment has wood floors and they’re mostly litter trained, we don’t have too much of a problem. Our senior girly has adopted a favorite sleeping corner behind a potted palm tree tho, which is kind of annoying to clean sometimes 😅
I would love to have you do a cage reaction video! I have a handmade cage. C&c grids framed with wood from my parents farm and is live to see what you thought. I love seeing other people's cages too! Always gives me me ideas of things to try😊
Such an informative video! My three girls have a 3 by 8 C&C cage that’s simply made from two large sheets of coroplast from Lowes and a few packs of Amazon basics grids.
Just put my piggies back from their day of free roaming...they zoom around for hours, then they enjoy their veggies, before going back to a clean enclosure where they can pass out😂❤
ur cali is so cute
My experience is so very different from yours. My 4 piggies pee ALL THE TIME. In their cage they have a very large hay tray where they pee (and poop), but they also pee all over, and immediately during attempts at floor time. We've tried in a 50"x50" playpen, and they pee in it immediately. They also all seem scared during floor time, and all just huddle in the corners.
hi i love your guinea pig videos im accually getting some today and ive been wtching all of your videos
I have a candc cage, which we have changed and upgraded several times
Omg I have Guinea pigs I love this video!! I’m a huge fan of you channel❤
Aww I love that video I personally love doing floor time with my 2 boars and sadly my cage is a pet shop cage but I do give them loads of floor time in the same room as I have a dog as well which cuts down my space luckily summmer coming and I do have a bigger outdoor cage and still get floor time outside if it’s not raining if wet they go in the hall way can.t use in winter to cold xxxx
Where did you buy the hay holder in your cage? I love your videos and your piggies x
I really enjoyed watching this video and it has given me some ideas 💡. Thank you❤
I’m gonna get 2 piggies soon and I’m sooo excited! I’m 11 and I also have 1 cat named Ash and guppy fish. Idk why my fish keep dying tho
I love your videos I am getting a Guinea pig in a week
It was so cute when they made a piggie train
I use a cnc cage for my 4 piggies there are in a temporary cage at the moment which im building a new home for them
Love watching your videos! ❤
❤❤❤
Brilliant video! I have c and c cages for my guinea pigs. I have one 4 by 2 and one 5 by 2. And ever since I started following you (about 3 years ago) I have been abke to transform my piggies lives and improve them so much so thank you. I am looking to start floor time with my piggies. I have 4 boars, but they are in 2 separate pairs. I would just have to get some grids to block places off then I'm good to go! Also how often do you do floor time with your pigs or how often is good for starting out?
I'm hopefully going to be a piggie owner soon and I'm curious if you can do floor time on wooden floorboards if you don't have any carpet?
Hello! Yesterday my Guinea pig choked on her bedding and died at least 2 hours later now I know to use blankets you have made me learn so much! I am getting a New Guinea pig on Wednesday it will be a long haired one🥰
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, that is so awful for the sweet piggie 😥
Awww, so sorry to hear. I never even thought that was possible! Can I ask what kind of bedding it was? We just switched to wood shavings.
Never thought such a calamity could happen. For years my piggies were on pine & aspen bedding. Finally made the switch to fleece bedding. Lots of laundry loads every day but so worth it. So sorry about your much loved piggie. Please all, consider that guinea pigs are HERD animals. Sam sex & compatible of course
@@nadirahtherealtor5173 yea you may it is called cedar wood! It is from pets mart so I do not recommend🥰
@@SqueakDreams Thanks it was really sad I couldn’t stop crying!
hi this channel is great!
This makes me miss my piggy😭😭😭
Nacho is such a floof.
I had to cut down my free roams as my pigs were too skinny from too much exercise 😂 no matter how much they were fed 😅
My 2 set of 2 piggies have a 3 panel by 4 panel C&C the two singles have a 4 panel by 2 panel. they all get 4 hr floor time each cage every day.
That’s great!
Phebes has the cutest bottom!!!! Just darlin!
I love your content
I free roam mine but the set up takes so long. I’ve got an open kitchen/living room and multiple unsafe areas which have to be blocked off. I also have to cover everything in rugs otherwise they attempt to eat the wooden floor. I also had to block off part of the wall as one tried eating the wallpaper. It’s worth it but wish I could do a set up like yours.
My guinea pig enclosure also is a cc grid one. I brought it as a set online but I’ve added additional things like more cc grids and correx sheets from elsewhere to increase the space they have.
i love your videos
Can you please do a video on how to clean a female’s grease gland ? video request
I got my boy Kiwi in my room with me
His cage is on the floor so I just leave it open and just let him go ham
He's like a little dog coming to great you Everytime you go into my room
Then he tries to bite my foot occasionally when I'm at my desk
(Absolute no reason I guess he thinks my toe is one of his treats 💀)
I just got a pair of baby piggies last week. for the most part they trust me. Their cage is quite small but I was thinking about getting them a playpen or something for them to roam around to explore. I think that free roaming might be a little overwhelming, but do you have any recommendations for a playpen?
What do you use to block things off to stop the piggys chewing thngs they shouldnt? x
One of my guinea pigs doesnt explore at all. He just sits in his hideout when he is not in his cage. How can I make him explore or should I be worried?
When I let Lela explore my room, she always want to climb into the dog bed. She leaves them a little present.💩😉
I have a question.... Where do you find / get your fleece? I'm looking for fleece for my guinea pigs 😊
I’m finding that pet stores don’t stock the fleecy waterproof liners here in Australia. I have ordered some on but it takes forever to get them and I don’t really know the quality. I ordered 3. I’m still waiting for them.
where do I get hay in Australia??
how do you get rid of the litter?
Hi! I’m new here. I have two piggies: Beans and Rice. Your piglets are gorgeous! How often do you do floor time with your pigs?
Welcome 😊 probably once a week on average, though would like to do more! I'd aim for at least twice a week if you can!
Interesting that they made a piggy train.
hey i have a question, so basically i have 2 piggies and they have like blankets on the floor of it and even though they have some hides they still only go under the blankets. So is there anything i can do to make them go into the hides?
Can you do reacting to guinea pig cages your viewers have?
Hi Sarah, we’ve tried letting our piggies free roam but they don’t move much. Could it be our laminate flooring?
Maybe until they get used to it and get confident to the environment ❤
I have a question can you have Guinea Pigs while also having cats and dogs? I'm just wondering
I just got a guinea pig named Milo, he is alone because he is aggressive to other piggies, is it ok to keep him by himself? Also I love phoebe (she’s my favorite!!)
If he really doesn’t get on with other piggy’s then I’d definitely recommend getting him a bar buddy (basically a piggy he can interact with but in separate cages!)❤
