*You don't own guinea pigs*
*You own balls of fluffy cuteness*
@Home educated people lolzzz
Correction: You don’t own guinea pigs, they own you.
Cute
You are mean!!!
*kawai unicorn* yassss
this should be the care guide at petsmart/petco.
U dont know where u live but ours give us hell before they sell us one. Education 101 before you buy.
Michelle Thomas they get all of their animals from places that mistreat them and they kill the ones that have anything remotely wrong with them. Also they sell over priced and small cages (and they sell those everywhere) and not all of their food or snacks targeted towards animals are good for them. Last time I was there I was getting a bird because I fell in love with him and couldn’t leave him. They tried to sell me a $50 cage that the bird couldn’t even flap his poor wings in. I didn’t but the cage of course I told them I had one at home after they talked my ear off telling me how to care for my animal incorrectly and then gave me a paper with quotes contradicting almost everything the employees told me.
Katie I went to petco looking for a bird but I gravitated towards the guinea pigs. The employee talked my ear off but she made it fun and was really nice and helpful. The guinea pig I picked might be gone tomorrow but he was really calm and wish I could buy him instead of a random one tomorrow
Fruit Smoothie ikr
I live in the U.K. So actually in England it's pets at home
My guinea pig had a brother who used to beat up on him, the brother died, and our guinea pig seemed a lot more happier, and he just seems like such a chill pig and enjoys his time alone, he loves his home and really loves snap peas He used to be very scared of us, and run away, how he takes carrots out of my hand before I put them down.
That's Alvin's story
And a run on sentence
My first set of boys were together in the pet shop. They got along extremely well (I think it's probably because they had a very easy dynamic. The submissive pig was content letting the other pig be in charge) and then the submissive pig died very suddenly. Since then, I have kept the remaining pig by himself, but in the same room as my two other pigs and he has lived perfectly happy since
ForRealz ? My fourth grade reading teacher is QUAKING
That a little sad cause the brother died 😢
my guinea pig had a dad that we had and he died last week from cancer I don't know if he's good or not he's acting really weird he usually hates kisses and pets but now he loves them please help
Not being rude and yours may be happy but you could buy a spayed female from an adoption place and then that female will love having you as an owner
I chose the fluffiest guinea pig at petsmart and now it’s hair is everywhere
😂
Lol
LOLLL if i get a guinea pig i might do that too
I got a guinnie pig from a breeder name Benny and he's 6 months
Please do your research before getting any pet. And also, if you're planning to buy any other animal, please _adopt_ it. By purschasing an animal from the pet store, you are supporting an Animal Mill. An Animal Mill is where animals are getting exesivly bred over & over without anyone thinking about the animal's _health_ . So by buying a pet from the pet store, you're making the shop order more animals for the spot of the pet you purschased, so, that means more animals are getting exesivly bred over & over. Instead, buy from an _Ethical Breeder_ An Ethical Breeder is someone who breeds animals to help develop their _health_ & _temperment_ , since the animal mills ruined that.
Adopt, don't shop.
Here is a tip. Guinea Pigs love carrots especially the top leafy greens of the carrot, that is their favorite part. An easy way to give them this treat is to grow your own carrot leafs on your own window sill and it is very easy.
When you buy carrots at the grocery store simply slice the top 1 inch of the carrot off regardless of whether it had leafs on it or not. place it in a glass of water without letting the top of the carrot be submerged . I use three toothpicks to stick in it which holds it up . Then place it near a sunny window and within one week you should see the leafy tops begin to grow. after about 3 or 4 weeks you can cut the leafy greens off to feed your guinea pigs and keep the carrot in the water and it will keep growing the leafy tops. Grow as many carrots as you want. Change the water in the glass once or twice a week.
You can also do this with celery.
And never throw out the middle scraps of a green pepper such as the seeds because guinea pigs love them.
They also love the outer leaves of corn as well as corn on the cob. They also love the dry outer skins of onions.
My guinea pig despises carrots so much he literally throws them away with his mouth and leave them on the ground.
Hmm I thought guinea pigs couldn’t have any part of onions?
They love carrots because it's like pure sugar to them. Just don't give them the carrot part every day or it causes bloating and diarrhea.
Mine eats to much carrots so I now start give him some pellets
You don't know that
Gf asks, "do you want to get a guinea pig?"
One whole dedicated room later... :D
I’m giving an entire room to my Guinea pigs 😌 They deserve everything >:)
My mom didn’t want the guineapig I brought home few days later she’s buying him toys and stuff😂
@@Vlogandridejp make sure to buy more then one guinea pog they need to be in pairs:)
I totally agree with this vid . Keep up the good work
hey it's Maddie I made your comment 123
I’m happy noe
hey it's Maddie stfu
Ximaine Malaika no
Your like 8 stop acting like you know all about these animals
I have a guinea pig named Gizmo he's a Calico guinea pig and he needs hay 24/7 it if I don't give him hey he's going to squeak for 24/7
Clarence Rankin he needs a friend
I have one exactly like this lol same name and everything!
Lol mine still squeaks even when I give her food 😂
(She is in perfect condition and just likes to annoy me)
@@jocelyndiaz4649 same for me 😂
PiggieLover 123 No, he doesnt. Research it. Male guinea pigs can do just well alone. Also, if you raise a newborn/ young Guinea pig without a partner, they will be just fine.
The first one is absolutely true. We only keep two guinea pigs and they have an age gap, and when our guinea pig, Dan, passed away, the other one, Jim, was alone. He barely did anything all day, he was completely depressed. So when we got another guinea pig, Jack, he was much more active and happier. It just shows how much they are affected by their companions.
I have two guinea pigs, and once I saw one of them freeze. The other one kept lifting the other's nose with its nose until it went so high it fell over. Cutest thing ever
That is actually a show of dominance. Guineas placing their nose under another's chin and lifting their head up is another way of them basically saying "I'm superior". c:
Those cute little poopers :)
Your piggies are so cute! These tips are great for new owners, good job on this vid!
I 100% AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS . They are LIVING creatures and most definitely not toys . I wish people could under stand that . THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AMAZING PIGGIE OWNER❤️🐹🙌🏻 love you and your piggies
I never saw your channel until I got Guinea pigs but im so thankful because your channel is so helpful and my Guinea pigs love your DIY ideas
Btw im a small youtuber
Kate x_x same here
I have 56 guinea pig
Same here Kate x_x! Imma check out your stuff and prob sub to you
Wow you have more subs than me! I only have 21. Can’t wait till I have 77 like you do! Love your vids btw
Um why does it show me that U have no vids
Fantastic rules! Totally agree & they are so important! So sad to see so many people not following all these important rules!
Popcorning Piggy I have a friend that doesn't follow most. Like the space one. Her 2 guinea pigs are in a cage that is like the size of my armspan. They rarely get floor time, and they are definitely less happy than the guinea pigs I raised (and got from them because they accidentally put a male and female together). They feed their guinea pigs pellets and hay, veggies once a week. I fed my guinea pigs veggies everyday, and they were always excited to see me. My friend's guinea pigs are always hiding unless there is food. Makes me sad to see those guinea pigs, but they don't think of me as the expert since I got guinea pigs from them and therefore I've had knowledge for less time :/
LinaRuiting Xu that’s so sad to hear. It’s so sad that so many people still use outdated & old information because they don’t keep themselves educated as time moves forward. I hope they learn soon for the guinea pigs sake!
Popcorning Piggy yeah I just sent her this video, but if she watches it, she's most likely not gonna do anything because the guinea pigs are kinda her mom's, and they are following pet shop advice because they volunteer at one (Petco)
LinaRuiting Xu oh no 🙈🙈🙈
Lina Xu Once a week??
I owned a guinea pig (female) and I didn't do all this stuff. She didn't have a companion, but she had 5 people (including 3 kids) adoring her everyday. She lived for almost 9 years.
i’m 10 years old and i’m trying to persuade my family to get a guinea pig! this video was super duper helpful! thx! 😊
I’m ten too and I persuade my parents to get me a guinea pig, and it work so if I can do it you can too.
make sure you both get at least 2! but good for you!
@@imbored4929 I owned one guinea pig for three years and she was perfectly happy and content. I tried to introduce her to other guinea pigs but she just didn't seem to like them. I guess it just depends on the gender, personality, and breed. Nugget is a female Himalayan. I got her when i was 11 years old but had to give her away when we moved three years later. Shes staying with some friends right now. Its been a couple of months and my parents are getting me another guinea pig.
I had two guinea pigs, one passed out today morning due to tumour 😢😢
And i wanted to make sure the other one doesn't goes through it,, please help me knowing what can i do for the another one for his healthy life without any tumor..
Please help...
I believe that diet is important to anything living. Too much processed food is not good. Balanced diet is best.
Im so sorry
Get another Guinea pig that's important
Every video I watch I fall more in love with good old Sylvester!!
Sylvester is my favorite
I just love ‘em
Go Sylvester! 🐹🐹🐹🐹
Oh my gosh this helped slot cause we were giving our guinea pigs baths like every 2weeks, we are new pet owners its our first time owner a guinea pig thanks for the help
I got two girl g.pigs on May 13th of this year and they both are shy I be glad when they let me pet them 👁💙 your channel thank u for sharing 🤗
Yourd looked exactly like mine...
They died a while ago ago and I feel life life hasn't been the same since then...
So sorry to hear that! Sending my condolences ❤️
FIRST RULE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: Give them *food*
Thanks so much for the tip I was wondering why my last 8 guinea pigs died 😂
Aww sorry for your loss
@@andrewfuller937 👁👄👁
I just got two guinea pigs for Christmas and I cried of happiness. They’re both babies and this video helped. Thank you so much
I just got one! His name is Charlie and the other one is Tuxedo! Thanks so much! Thus video convinced my mom to let me get some! You are the best! I'm subscribing!
I completely agree! 😄 I love your videos and Guinea pigs. You inspired me so much now I have two adorable Guinea pigs. Thank you for making videos.😊
HUGE tip for anyone buying hay - a bale of timothy hay (75-100 lbs) costs the same as a 2.5 kilo bag bought from a typical pet store (@ 25.00 - 30.00). I spent hundreds of dollars before discovering this. The farm suppliy store I deal with (Sharcare in Nanaimo on Van Island) also sells part bales and customer stuffed garbage bags of hay for reduced amounts. Be aware if you go to buy a bale from a farm or suppliy store they are heavy, difficult to move and will triple their size if broken down - I usually fill 3 - 4 large rubbermaid containers and a 3 - 4 industrial sized garbage bags for storage. Love your channel - keep it up!
I only have 1 Guinea pig and she isnt bored!
Same here
This channel helps me so much!! Thank you!!
Just got 2 Guinea pigs as an early birthday present! I’m so happy and want to make sure I look after them good
When I’m sad you always help me and your Guinea pigs ❤️ I watch you guys all day
Getting my Guinea pigs soon! So excited, those sisters are going to have a great life when I spoil them with my love❤
Thank you for the tips! It’s been about a month since I’ve gotten my guinea pigs and I expected them to take much longer to get used to me but now they let me sit by their cage and hand feed them! They also occasionally let me pet their head!
These tips are very helpful! I want guinea pigs so bad!
Edit: OMG Julia liked my comment! Also thanks for the likes. And if you were wondering, no I did not get guinea pigs, but 12 year old me will still try to get some.
Mahika Kumar I want one as well but my dad says he will only get me one I told him all about guinea pigs and this channel and he says maybe two but i wont get it till 3 months!😠
@@riley_4520 I know I have to be patient but I just cant wait to get a guinea pig or two!!😁
@@mint6821 it's three months now
Why dnt you get one or two I love them I just brought to little girls they are so cute
Buy one
I really admire how good you take care of them.
I have had 2 piggies before and are looking into getting 2 babies soon! This has reminded me of a lot of the necessary needs so thanks xo
Currently on the hunt for a guinea pig(s) of my own so it's great that I've stumbled upon this video for research.
Aww your piggies are so well loved and tamed and especially cuteeee xx
I love your vids they have helped me so much with my three guinea pigs. Without your channel I wouldn't no were to start when caring for my guinea pigs.
Thanks so much for making this video! I am trying to talk my parents into getting me guinea pigs because I really want them, and I think since you made this video I can tell them some facts about caring for guinea pigs and how to care for them. Thanks!
Thanks for this video I got them a week ago and I needed it.
Thanks for the great video! I’m an 80-yo grandma alone now and considering getting piggies for myself. I had piggies for
My daughter when she was about 12 but had no idea about care. No TH-cam then. I appreciate all the good information & tips.
Such great content, I just recently adopted guinea pigs a mom 1 years old and one her pups 4 months and I would be so lost with out your videos!! I’ve read a lot online etc but seriously thank you!! My girls are going to be starting their new routines today with your videos help.
This video is so helpful for me and now my piggies are happy and healthy

I really want guinea pigs next year, this helps so much. I love your channel so so much 💖
Hey! I just got piggies yesterday! Thanks for teaching me so much stuff❤
The way they move their mouth when eating is funny to me
I had a cute overload watching this video 😍 thanks for the help! I’m new to these adorable creatures considering how i’ve only had two dogs, a cat, and some fish.
Omg. TYSM!! I’m getting some Guinea Pigs Tomorrow And This *REALLY* Helped Me And My Mum.
Thanks for the video, just got two myself, ones shy and the other crazy 💖
I know you said all guinea pigs are different, but my guinea pig started trusting me in like one second no joke lmao😂
Thank you I’m definitely looking forward to adopting two piggies but again I have lots of research to do but this definitely helped me!!
OMG I just realized I have a Guinean pig named Frieda too but there personalities are the EXACT opposite my Freida was tame in a week! And her sister Reese is rlly shy and it’s been MONTHS and still isn’t tame but you’re right about patients...it might be a long wait and practice to get the pigs tame but when they are it will be TOTALY worth the wait...keep up the GREAT work
amazing video, love your piggies, keep up the work!
I love you're piggies!! They're so CUTE!! 😫💕🐹
I love this video and constantly watch this to take care of my guinea pigs.
Great advice and videos had guinea pigs as a child we had sixteen ( they bred) at one point they are lovely pets treat with love and care they are affectionate and fun
Keep doing daily videos I love them all❤️
I need these 😂💞 love you!
I just got a guinea pig yesterday! Her name is Penny and I'm gonna get her a friend either today or end of this week! This was so helpful cuz I've never had a piggy so thank you!😊
You help me so much my daughter wants a Guinea pig so this really helps me thank you again
Thank You Miss For the Info!!👍😎🐹
When your home is too small and your backyard is often visited by neighbor cats
Guinea pig impossible : D
That black and brown hamster is so cute
I mean guinea pig
We just got our the guinea habitat plus and they and we love it.
Fantastic Rules! That’s why guinea pigs are GOLDEN!❤️
Haha
That’s true🙂
This helped so much!
Our pig took over 2 years just to let us pet her while inside her habitat. Definitely harder to tame than a dog or cat. They are really fun to watch and interact with once you've spent enough time with them. Definitely worth the patients. Definitely couldn't of done it without your videos. Thank you
every time i put on your videos my guinea pig looks at your guinea pigs its so cute and thx for the tips
I love this channel so much bc im getting a guinea pig 💕❤️🐹
Thank you so much!!
I love the short haired guinea pigs! They look so smooth
My guinea pig was being kept in a small temporary cage and now that he is in his good cage, he is so happy! Soon I’m getting him a partner so yay!
I agree with this vid. Good job.
I really like Minnie! 💛
You are so right, some Guinea Pigs are calm and some are nervous. I rescued Alfie a couple of years ago and he still runs away from me, his cage mate is calm and usually ready to be picked up. I am still persistent with Alfie!
This is a truly helpfull video! I have searched for the daily amound of greens for my piggies for quite some time now.. Thank you :)
I’m getting a guinea pig this Christmas, and I’ve started my researched just now. This video helped me so much! Subscribed!
One of my teachers had only one Guinea Pig, and it survived 8 years! That’s incredible...
Off course by "survived" you mean lived better than most.
Guinea pigs are like people, each one has its own personality. Some piggies prefer to be the only one. As long as theyre happy and content and you give them lots of attention you shouldnt be focused on how many there are.
Thinking about getting my daughter a guinea pig. This was very helpful!
Thank you for the tips!❤️❤️❤️
You don't own guinea pigs
You own bundles of fluffy cuteness
😍
Thanks for this video, now my guinea pigs will have better care...
thank you! you are so helpful for my guinea pig Harry
I'm adopting 2 Guinea pigs tommorow. Thanks for the info!!!
This is a great video,and I love your guinea pigs they are so cute x
I agree with you 6 Golden rules
I want to have 2!!! So bad 😭 I only have 1 he is happy but I see other guinea pig videos and they seem SO much happier because there is multiple thank you very much for the advice I appreciate it 😊
I've been in large brand pet stores and had to point out to managers that some of the pet food had moths and maggots crawling inside the packages. I stayed until they removed them from the shelves.
You always have the best thumbnails.
Hey I love your channel, can you maybe show us tools or materials on how to build your diy cage if possible? Love you💜❤️
i just got two piggies sunshine and ranger! this has helped so much!
i have two piggies, mother and daughter and i let them go all around my room sometimes.. it's so funny to see them run and explore ahahah
I have 2 little boys named fluffy and snuggles. Snuggles named after his love of cuddling us and his brother. Fluffy named after his fluffiness.
Edit: their guinea pigs lol
So I looked up the stuff i need I'm gonna be spending a whopping 126.26 on these cute fluffy balls of cuteness
I have 2 little piggies there so cute and you inspired me to get pigs you are amazing thank you for making videos
Great cage set up👍
