My grass here at my apartment complex is nasty, it's mostly weeds and nothing I would feed my girls BUT my sister lives in the country and I stock up when I go out there. They love the fresh long strands of grass with the V shaped seed heads, that stuff is like piggie crack
@@ScottysAnimals the thing I'm talking about is not foxtail, just so you know. Dont you worry about what the foxtail does to their mouth or intestines? I wouldn't chance it, I've seen what that stuff can do. I always say, just because you can doesn't mean you should 😉
We have had good luck growing lettuce & celery in just water from the end pieces. I have also learned that if you put the end of a carrot in a little water, you can regrow the carrot leaves. I am very bad at growing plants, but even *I* can grow these in water. We have also had good luck growing wheat grass indoors for the pigs.
I live on sixteen acres in rural Virginia and I watched saskia's foraging episode. It got me thinking about what might be growing in our fields and I found some mallow! I also found a stand of oats growing where we had dumped a bag of plain oats six or seven years ago, back when we had horses, because our persnickety horses didn't like crimped oats. I had no idea they were growing! The piggies absolutely love some of oat grass! I take the seed heads off just in case :-)
I love all of your piggies thay are so cute ❤️ my gunie pig gumbo recently died and he was paired with another gunie pig Ted and at first he was sad but we gave him loads of kisses and hugs. My stepmam Shonie emailed you and you got straight back to her and all I want to say is thank you for the advise and the support, thank you Scotty 😊❤️
Also Dice seems to be so much happier now with Mike. He is much more calm and relaxed. You can see the joy in his eyes :) Mike is such a loyal friend to all the piggie boys =)
I used to take my piggy ( named “Mytto”) on the lawn. He loved the grass even more then. He was so fond of grass that even me saying the word “grass” made him go “week week week” It really stunned me that he could recognize the word. My other piggy ( his name was Musky ) did not react to words. They are in piggy heaven now but I think of them every day. Stay safe Scotty and thank you for being such a great piggy friend.
That’s awesome you found some greens for the piggies keep putting the greens in there pens they will start eating it just takes a little time for to start eating it
I picked some dandelions and grasses this morning for my piggies. I'm lucky to live off of a field that is the rare space that isn't sprayed with pesticides around here.
I forgot to mention that we also have narrow leaf and broadleaf plantain, which they seem to like as well. We also have tons of clover so they get a little bit of that too :-)
A couple of years ago I planted strawberry plants and dandelion seeds in my garden just for my piggies. My kids also love going out in the garden to pick stuff for them 😃
I cut the bottom of a full bunch of celery and stick it into a dish of water. After a couple of days the celery sprouts a new stalk of celery. I have 'piggy set' tomato plants growing in my lawn, which my gang will fight to be the 1st to eat the plants.
I live in a small country town. When I am in public, picking grass and weeds for my gang, people have stopped and asked. But people now know me as the crazy guinea pig lady and will tell me where I can find grass and weeds.
Luckily that's something I have no shortage of, lots of fresh tall grass since my neighbor never cuts his lawn. I pick them really tall long grass blades. I have many other blooming plants I gotta look up what all else is safe for them. Thanks for the video and advice I get from both you and Saskia
I tried arugula with my boys, they ran from it, “ hated it !” But they are the picky needy McNeedersons... my boys and I love you soooooo much! You really make my day, especially during these hard times. Take care and be safe! I love all of your piggies but billy, nate and piggie smalls have a special place in my heart. I am totally getting your new shirt. God bless you sweet Scotty. I wish I were half the person that you are! ❤️❤️❤️💞💞❤️❤️❤️
Hello from France The dandelion is very good for piggies Other thing Dandelion is too a Nice song from The Stones and HIS singer is Brian Jones BIG KISSES. MONICA
@@karaleetrapp I hear ya. Also if I go into the fridge for something and then go into their room with no veggies the look st me with those pleading eyes. It's just to cute.
I live in a small apartment, but I plan to move in two months to an apartment with a huge balcony and there I will grow green oats for my pigs. Now I go to the skatepark, which has long been empty because of the quarantine. She plucked ordinary grass, and pigs eat it green, but they don't want to eat hay from it.
Scotty, 🐹 The T-shirt is adorable. 🐹 Also I think you mentioned romaine will regrow. There was a video other day. Says put the stalk bottom in water. Angie
Foraging with Scotty, i enjoyed the treasure hunt. Great video, it's always useful to know what we can use around us. Just wayched your video '5 mistakes gp owners make'- 285K views!! Great job 😁👍♥️
Loved seeing this video so much we saw all the boys. Loved the way they were eating those gifts lol loved the new design of the t shirt will have to purchase one next Friday
Thank you for your help my husbands nephew got a guinea pig and we had no idea how to care for it until I found your videos you explain everything very well thanks
Hey hey Scotty oh, you should come down in Texas here. We have all kinds of nice Parks they're not they're just nice nature parks all kinds of wild things your Piggies would have a blast! I know my piggy does he loves it Gabriel is his name he lost his brother Duncan couple months ago but he's doing great. We had a nice little funeral service for he's a cute little guy. Love your channel keep it up! And hang in there.
That grass looked like what I grew which is fescue, which my 6 💘 💘 followed very closely by dandelion leaves and flowers. I've tried other stuff Saskia has suggested piggies not fans. Planning on growing a piggie garden with parsley lettuces and fescue. Piggie nomnoms!
I had some birdseed so I just throw some onto some dirt and let it grow for a bit and then I just cut a handful at a time. Boom! & it has other seeds in the mix like sunflowers etc. You can let it dry out and ya got hay. Also tractor supply has a compressed bale of Timothy hay which will last a good while for about $20. They might even ship it. Hope everyone is doing ok.
if you could find it out there look for some wild parsley it grows well in the desert it's all over New Mexico. my gerbils in love with it and I'm pretty sure pigs will like it too
Does Mike have a new house? Our piggies love the garden grass, dandelion leaves and some sticky weed whose name I don't know. We can still get veg though from a farm shop up the road.
If you buy a full bunch of celery and cut the bottom of the celery off, and place the bottom in a dish of water. The celery will regrow. It will take a couple of days to start to regrow.
Have you tried it? Maybe it's got a really strong smell or taste. I'm glad they don't eat what they don't know. That can be a life saver if someone is trying to feed their piggies plants they don't know if they are safe.
Yes!!! Can not wait commenting... so while... manicured park... never heard... lovely...

Dear Scotty you do a excellent job with Guinea pigs and other animals.I am looking for a Guinea pig and pocket pets household who would take me in,I have income and can give money for rent ,pet supplies,I can help clean,care for animals,I hate living single,I prefer living with Guinea pig people and pocket pets people,I have income and can give money for part of rent and pet supplies,I love caring for animals. Do you know anyone who would take me in who owns guinea pigs and pets? I can help care for animals,clean,chores and love keeping busy. I live in Carlisle,PA. At 236 West Pomfret street,So far I have found no Guinea pig households to take me in,I hate living alone. I have most knowelgde about Guinea pigs,Rabbits,Mice,Betta fish ,Please let me know if you know any Animal people households,I have tried.Text me anytime. Your a wonderful Animal owner and Reducer.Thank you!
Hey, Scotty! I was wondering, when you clean the cages, where do you put the piggies? Do you or have you owned a playpen for them? Could you recommend me one? Also, I keep thinking I should forage but I'm so terrified of mis-identiying a plant and hurting my piggies :(
I don’t know anything about the foraging part, but I let my piggies run around my room when I clean their cage. I have to block of certain places, like under my bed, so I don’t lose them, but it’s a lot of fun to watch them run around.
My grass here at my apartment complex is nasty, it's mostly weeds and nothing I would feed my girls BUT my sister lives in the country and I stock up when I go out there. They love the fresh long strands of grass with the V shaped seed heads, that stuff is like piggie crack
some of the volunteers think the foxtails can be dangerous,but my piggies devoured them.
@@ScottysAnimals the thing I'm talking about is not foxtail, just so you know. Dont you worry about what the foxtail does to their mouth or intestines? I wouldn't chance it, I've seen what that stuff can do. I always say, just because you can doesn't mean you should 😉
@@mszoomy, I know the grass you are talking about but can't think of its name.
@@ScottysAnimals oh wow. I read it's bad for dogs because it's bad for their stomach and mouth. I assumed it would be for pigs
My guinea pigs love weeds.
We have had good luck growing lettuce & celery in just water from the end pieces. I have also learned that if you put the end of a carrot in a little water, you can regrow the carrot leaves.
I am very bad at growing plants, but even *I* can grow these in water.

You're literally the best boy guinea pig papa in the whole wide world :)
Ahhhhhh hahahahaha

Hoorrayyyy they liked it! Awesome
Grass picked and pit in a Ziplock and placed in a fridge lasts about a week or so. ❤ I'm so buying that shirt
Just bought the shirt!!!
Thanks, Scotty! My next neighborhood walk will have a new purpose. Also love the new T.
That’s awesome you found some greens for the piggies keep putting the greens in there pens they will start eating it just takes a little time for to start eating it
That’s cool they like the grass.
Sweet sweet pig love😍😍😍😍🐖🐷💗💕

That's great, Shawna ♡
Gary and Mike!! Those faces!!

you could dig out some of these greens woth the root and plant it in your garden. so you can create a little guineapigfood-heaven.
Thank you Scotty, I love the shirt. I learned a lot.
Oo Oo! There’s a Cotton Tail Bunny! You’re like a sweet little puppy😂 The piggies are lucky to have you.
Another great video thank you! My two girls are going to love some fresh forage finds 💓🌍 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
We used to feed our guinea pig grass all the time. She lived to a hearty 8 years old.
Yes! I did the same thing and the neighbors were asking me if I was digging for gold LOL but I don't care I found a ton of awesome greens☘🌿🌱🐹
You could tell them that you were looking for some mind your own business, But I guess it is their yard
@@ScottysAnimals actually it wasn't even their yard they came three houses down just to be nosey LOL😂🤣
I live in a small country town. When I am in public, picking grass and weeds for my gang, people have stopped and asked. But people now know me as the crazy guinea pig lady and will tell me where I can find grass and weeds.
@@karaleetrapp Like how the news spreads, and people share info with you. Guess being the crazy guineapig lady has it's bonuses!

I get grass, dandelion, and clover from my Dad's backyard because he never uses pesticides. My two boys Ricky and Jesse love it.
Hello from France The dandelion is very good for piggies Other thing Dandelion is too a Nice song from The Stones and HIS singer is Brian Jones BIG KISSES. MONICA
Hi Monique ♡
I love it.... "Mikey likes it.... Mikey will eat anything"
Sometimes my guys don't like to try new things. If I give them something they don't like they run away from it. Such sillies.
It takes my gang 2 or 3 tries of something new sometimes before they decide if they really, really like it.
@@karaleetrapp yes they are kind of like little kids. Lol
@@tracypiggy_love1348, or they look at you with a look of 'what is this poison, you are feeding us Hoomin??'.
@@karaleetrapp I hear ya. Also if I go into the fridge for something and then go into their room with no veggies the look st me with those pleading eyes. It's just to cute.
I just feed my guineas with regular grass from my garden and it's their favourite food ever
I live in a small apartment, but I plan to move in two months to an apartment with a huge balcony and there I will grow green oats for my pigs. Now I go to the skatepark, which has long been empty because of the quarantine. She plucked ordinary grass, and pigs eat it green, but they don't want to eat hay from it.
They have to keep the landscapes nice for all the residual Snowbirds
Hahaha maybe in Palm Springs
I went foraging when it 60 degrees in Wisconsin but the next day we got 13 inches of SNOW
Thank you you are fantastic 🥰🥰
Dandelion root is everywhere and I found some lavender at my work so they ate that too. I like old houses with unkempt lawns, they are a gold mine.
Where I live the grass they liked most is called johnson grass. Try clover and dandelion leaves too.
Scotty,
🐹 The T-shirt is adorable. 🐹
Also I think you mentioned romaine will regrow.
There was a video other day. Says put the stalk bottom in water.

i'd love to forage where I am up in Canada , but as of last night we are still getting spring snow and the dandelions are late in coming up :(
Keep trying..

if you could find it out there look for some wild parsley it grows well in the desert it's all over New Mexico. my gerbils in love with it and I'm pretty sure pigs will like it too
That’s funny: you’ve got our London rocket and our London weather! 🤣
Guineapig asmr is a new thing Scotty please try it
you could also plant wheat. they eat the green, before its full grown.
Aaaawwww this makes my day
🥰
Does Mike have a new house? Our piggies love the garden grass, dandelion leaves and some sticky weed whose name I don't know. We can still get veg though from a farm shop up the road.
This is awesome i also pick wild green for my guineapigs as well love the video
I have treats and greens for my guineas there perfectly fine they have enough am sorry ran out of greens for guineas I hope it guineas are fine
If you buy a full bunch of celery and cut the bottom of the celery off, and place the bottom in a dish of water. The celery will regrow. It will take a couple of days to start to regrow.

My guinea pigs love dandelion leaves. It's their favorite this time of year. Is it true that piggies Luke bamboo leaves??
I really miss my 3 Guinea pig girls I had to move
I have sooo much London Rocket around my house and neighborhood. Unfortunately my piggies don't care for it too much:/

hi
Hey
hi'
Hey Stacy
What’s the plant net app
Watch out for pesticides
By the way Billy seems depressed again.. Is it because he miss a guinea pig friend?! Try several pigs at once, he will be overwhelmed lol
He is not, hes pretty happy. I take him out several times A-day to taunt the other boys
I think he's just expressing how disappointed he is with the new greens 😅
@@sarahstardusthaha animals have a great way of expressing their dislikes 🤣
