I think you were spot on about reality of owning Guinea pigs I have nine girls and two boys and I do spot clean twice a day. you are a remarkable person who cares so much for the welfare of your Guinea pigs and your a credit to everyone , I can’t wait for your next video I love them all god bless 🎉🎉
They aren’t easy animals to take care of, but when you follow the care they need, they are some of the best animals!! It’s all worth it in the end to see them happy 🥰
I love the way you started the video it was so adorable. I love watching your videos. I've learned so much watching your videos. Adorable piggies. I love guinea pigs so much ❤️
I so love your videos Austin your such a sweetie. Thank I learned a lot about how you spot clean in the easiest way. I have 3 female piggies. Poppy, Thelma and Moose 🐹🐹🐹💗💗💗
I love how you show that it doesnt have to be hard, just a little planning, investments in good products and you are off and running! I love seeing them so happy when things are clean and fresh. So satisfying! I was wondering is it safe or wise to swap out their hides or toys that arent chewed up or soiled, they can sort of take turns?
I have a guinea pig called Oreo , and it’s just him he very happy as one as I give lots of attention and company. But he very messy he chucks his everywhere 😂❤
I can totally relate to a piggy wanting to do reconstruction like Toby! Mine love to push houses around. I just got a pawchie house for Christmas thinking it would be too heavy to move but one figured out that she can move it! I swear it’s in a new position every day!😂😂also gotta love Billy’s popcorn!!
Hello from New Zealand!! I have just come across you a few days ago since I found out I could have Guinea Pigs very soon! I have learnt so much just from watching your uploads so I wanna thank you personally for that, it's been amazing knowing exactly how to prepare for them, how to properly care for them. Winston has got me wanting his breed so badly! he's such a character. Teddy was a little cutie too.
my piggies start pop corning as soon as I dip the dustpan and brush into the cage because they know it means a fresher cage and their morning lot of fresh hay! I only have two of them so dustpan and brush is very manageable for me.
I just adopted 2 baby piggies a week ago from a local animal shelter. I never realalized how much they pooped. Lol. Watching your videos really taught me alot. Thank you. I am starting to use fleece and I am spot cleaning 2 times a day. I plan on buying from your website soon. Any suggestions for me on getting them to warm up to me more? Their names are cup cake and Peanut buttercup. They are sisters.
I use an old vacuum to spot clean my boys' cage and it's an absolute lifesaver. Whenever my sister does spot cleanings she uses a little scoop like for baking and stuff, but I've found that's more helpful for after doing a cleaning and there's a very small area that was missed. They also like to push around their hay rack so I don't even bother trying to put it on the sides anymore. Using a regular vacuum hose with the extensions on it also saves me from pulling anything in my back (again). They're currently in a raised 5x2 but I wish I could give them more room.
I don't have any guinea pigs my self I did when I was a child also when my kids were your. I absolutely live Ollie he is special. I'd love some of your stickers I possible. I follow you as often as I can. You are a very special person. Not many people would be a third of what you do rescuing the guide pigs. Everyone is special in there own way. Keep up the good work. X
That was a cute way to start you video today…. Also am I correct that I saw you wearing a pig room sweatshirt!????? Love watching !!! And keep up the good work!!!! Love watching you grow with your new products!!!
He could post a weekly cage cleaning video that is shown in real time and I would watch it while sitting on my bed telling myself I will get up and clean my cage😂
Is there a reason you throw away all that fresh hay? As long as my hay is still in a pile, the top stuff is dry and clean. I just pile up all the dry stuff and clean around it. When I do a full cage cleaning I toss everything, but I don't give a bunch of hay the day before so I waste very little.
100 dollars for a good quality vacuum cleaner is actually normal) I ve had mine for more than 10 years now I’m happy that you are that kind a person that doesn’t try to save money on the essentials
Can you use foam boards instead of colorplast ? My Home Depot has been out since December and before I upgrade my boys cage that would be a perfect tip. 💚
Thank you so much for sharing your routine. My piggies would go crazy if I would vacuum their cage, while they are still in it, so i still use a brush. :D
Hi I was wondering what is the name of your vacuum cleaner? I have three four month old guinea pigs, they are still small little babies, but they are very messy :) I use to have them in a large pet shop size cage, but now they are in a large C&C cage. I like to clean their cage first thing in the morning and I think the idea of a vacuum for cleaning the cage is a awesome idea 😊 because since they are in a much larger C&C cage, it takes me longer to clean with a small had broom. Oh one other question, will the noise of the vacuum scare my guinea pigs?
Hey. I want to get some piggies soon. I've seen many cages like this, and was wondering if you could give me your opinion on whats the best way of making a toilet for the piggies? Should i get pellet type things and newspapers, or pee pads, or whats best?
I don’t think people realize how much work you do! Where do you get all your energy lol. I have THREE piggies, in 2 separate cages. And it’s SO much cleaning. You do all that PLUS make your own inventory for your own business ON TOP of you general daily life and home maintenance. Like wow. You’re a superhero. You literally never have a day off! ❤❤
I use a hand vac or take the top layer of fleece out and shake it into the trash. The shop vac always sucks up the fleece. And I currently cant get it in my pig room without having to lift it over cages. The current way i have the room set up gives me a narrow door way
I've been struggling to get to your website before everything sells out. I have three pigs and love your channel and am obsessed with your website but it doesn't help that I live in the UK. Is there a way to get there before everything sells out ❤️❤️
Hi, I don’t know if you will see this, but do you have a tip for what to use under the hay that’s not a bathroom mat since my pigs drag on it and try to eat it.
Hiya I’m doing some piggie research, I was just wondering if the blankets are just normal blankets/fleece or special Guinea pig safe blankets ? I’m really interested in this instead of sawdust, thank you
Im not an expert but heres what I know (i only have a 2 by 4 c&c cage so i just have bathmats since they take up the space fine!) You can buy pre made ‘liners’ made from the fleece fabric. Basically the way it works is that the fleece is ‘wicked’ so that liquid can pass through them and into an absorbent layer underneath (such as towels!) You can do it yourself with just some regular old fleece (it should be wicked first) and some towels underneath. (Or just buy pre made liners ^^) Idk if i explained very well 😭but you can find a lot of info online about the wicking process/fleece bedding in general as well! ^^ (sometimes you can buy pre wicked fleece as well)
How often do you change out the litter area? I recently started using the litter area for their hay with my piggies so i'm just curious for comparison and guidance.
I just NEED to invest in a large shop vac 😅 I got a small one and even after picking up most of the mess by hand it gets clogged in seriously like 2 minutes and it’s almost impossible to unclog
Someone tell me how to use a shopvac and not scare the living daylights out of my pigs bc the one i want is VERY LOUD ( i think rated louder than this one he is using) and my little vacuum scares them half to death.
"Guinea pigs are not clean at all, they are very very messy. Honestly you should be able to know that, just because again, they are called pigs" -Austin 19th jan 2023 Guinea pig quote of the year.
All of my single males use to have cage mates but due to their aggressive behaviors, they had to be split up. Two of my males (Billy and Ollie) will be bonded soon and Winston (neutered male) will be bonded with my female herd! Hoping to get my piggies some friends instead of bar buddies although they can live just as happy that way 💛
@The Pig Room Backstory: I grew up with single boars as a kid, while my older sisters had bonded sows. In my experience, our single boars were always braver/more social with humans/better with kids/more patient, which is vital for our ASD toddler. I don't want only JUST one; BUT - my husband doesn't want to end up with two enclosures. It seems alarmingly common that "bonded" pairs of board end up turning on each other, and I really can't do two appropriate enclosures (planning 2*5). But I also recall sows being more temperamental, where I'm going for "Potato". Advice?!

Hi, I know I’m late but why do you have some guinea pigs by themselves? I’m not trying to be rude I’m just curious!

Are the pig mats bath mats, or are they specially made for Guinea pigs?

Really relaxing to watch 😍 i have a horse wel that's messy! A piggy horse. Your pigs look very wel cared for! Greetings from the Netherlands!
With Vision and the girls cage I wonder if you could build another level with a gentle slope to to up and down ☺️💖

I’m so happy my piggies adjusted to the vacuum so quickly! It took a bit, but now they don’t mind the sound of it whatsoever ✨

My one poops in the corners so I have stained coroplast. N yes I do cover it with pads.. x.x the stains are just super tough
I use a hand vac or take the top layer of fleece out and shake it into the trash. The shop vac always sucks up the fleece. And I currently cant get it in my pig room without having to lift it over cages. The current way i have the room set up gives me a narrow door way
Out of curiosity, how come you don't have lofts for them? Or do you just prefer them all being on one level? Love your channel!!
I prefer on level cages as I feel they are more beneficial that loft areas!
Does the vacuum make a lot of noise?
How did they get used to the vacuum ?
is sausmuld ok to put as bedin for genipigs
First I think! Love your piggies ❤
I've been struggling to get to your website before everything sells out. I have three pigs and love your channel and am obsessed with your website but it doesn't help that I live in the UK. Is there a way to get there before everything sells out ❤️❤️
Hi, I don’t know if you will see this, but do you have a tip for what to use under the hay that’s not a bathroom mat since my pigs drag on it and try to eat it.
you can use puppy pads if you make sure they're completely covered and not accessible to the pigs
I'm surprised the piggies aren't afraid if the vacuum.
They’ve grown to love it! 🥰
Hiya I’m doing some piggie research, I was just wondering if the blankets are just normal blankets/fleece or special Guinea pig safe blankets ? I’m really interested in this instead of sawdust, thank you

I love videos
Can you potty train piggies to use a litter box
Love this video 💙
💛
My shop vac was only $30. And i can't tell you how many rattle mouse cat toys I have vaccuumed up
How often do you change out the litter area?
I recently started using the litter area for their hay with my piggies so i'm just curious for comparison and guidance.
I change mine out once a week or even twice a week sometimes if they are really dirty.
loved this video!!!!
I’m so glad you liked it! 💛
I just NEED to invest in a large shop vac 😅 I got a small one and even after picking up most of the mess by hand it gets clogged in seriously like 2 minutes and it’s almost impossible to unclog
The larger shop vac is the way to go! It hardly ever clogs and makes cleaning SO fast 🧼
What do you do with all the poop?
is a 4 by 10 c&c big enough for 5 guinea pigs
That is an amazing size for 5 pigs!
How often should I spot clean?
Once a day would be great! 💛
have you ever accidentally vacuumed up any of your guinea pigs in the past?
Someone tell me how to use a shopvac and not scare the living daylights out of my pigs bc the one i want is VERY LOUD ( i think rated louder than this one he is using) and my little vacuum scares them half to death.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
❤️🌈
Nice ok 2 boys and 7 girl's
I just wonder tou said there was alot of pee why didn't you change out the bottom fleece thing that had pee on it
Why do you have so many single pigs? 😢 please match them up so they don’t have to be alone.
As a Guinea pig owner it is ok as long as they can see other Guinea pigs it will be ok even tho they love other piggies!
All of my single males use to have cage mates but due to their aggressive behaviors, they had to be split up. Two of my males (Billy and Ollie) will be bonded soon and Winston (neutered male) will be bonded with my female herd!
