Spaghett's embarrassing secret (with voice reveal)

- Spaghett the guinea pig has an embarrassing secret. He eats too fast and doesn't chew his food so well, and then he has loud coughing fits. We usually let the pigs speak for themselves, but today we decided to reveal our voices to help explain the silly situation.
He occasionally coughs once or twice while wolfing down vegetables. But today he went on a coughing spree. The noise sounds like a mix of coughing, vomiting, burping, and hiccuping. But the internet says guinea pigs can't throw up. We were scared he was choking when we first heard the sound, but now we've gotten used to it and it's become just another funny quirk of his.
WHAT’S PIGS?
We publish daily highlights of the adorable antics of our guinea pig herd. Subscribe to see what they do tomorrow!
In June 2019 we adopted five pigs from Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue. They are cute herbivorous pets with funny social interactions. We film all their behaviors, from cute guinea pig noises to eating sounds, playing with their food to sleeping with their eyes open, and occasional fighting. So far they have been most popular for their loud wheeking and rumblestrutting and their ridiculous guinea pig fights!
MEET THE PIG FAMILY
Spaghett is the boar of the herd. The rest of the pigs are females, but he’s a neutered male so they won’t be breeding. Sorry, no pregnant or baby guinea pigs! Spaghett has orange-brown fur with a white crest on his head and cute red eyes. He goes on morning romps with popcorning and zoomies. He does hilarious rumblestrutting while purring. When pigs argue he trots over to comfort them. He likes burrowing through hay and standing on his back feet like a goofy dinosaur. He enjoys petting, especially scratching behind the ears.
Acorn is youngest. She has white, black, and gold fur with a cute mousy face. She’s inquisitive, always wants food, and talks to herself while exploring hay piles. Little Acorn’s special talent is jumping on houses to go on rooftop adventures.
Butternut appears either confused or deep in thought. She has white and gold fur. Her hobbies include sleeping and yawning while flopped over with her feet sprawled out. She continues wheeking, squeaking, and squealing at us after we have already given her food.
Pumpkin has black fur except for white back toes. She looks like a cow, a non-guinea pig, and a rabbit. She has noisy standoffs with Acorn when Acorn gets feisty.
Zucchin is oldest and grumpiest. She has white and gray fur with cute red eyes. At first Zucchin fought with Spaghett. There were teeth chattering, nose raising, and hair puffing battles. Now they get along, but Zucchin is still a grouch. She enjoys lunging at anyone who comes near. She loves to chase other pigs out of their homes, then follow them to another home and chase them out of that one too. But she looks like a cute rat!
THEIR HOME
The pigs live in a semi-custom 4 by 6 foot cage we made by merging 3 Midwest Guinea Habitat cages. We cut the seams of the cage bottoms and joined them into one large cage liner with duct tape and super glue. Now we have a MidWest cage of triple the size! The cage is on cheap folding tables so we can easily interact with the pigs. They first lived in the same 3 cages connected by ramps with DIY ramp covers we made by sewing blankets.
Their bedding is soft paper bedding from Small Pet Select. We spot clean wet spots daily and do a full cage clean when the bedding starts to smell funky. They used to live on fleece blankets with towels and newspaper underneath. Back then we washed guinea pig fleece by hand in the sink. But, since moving, guinea pig laundry is less convenient so we switched to bedding. We also considered pine bedding but thought soft paper sounded more comfortable for their little feet!
The pigs prefer free stuff to actual guinea pig toys. They love to hide under packing paper. A DIY guinea pig house made from a cardboard box is a favorite hidey. They are not interested in most chew toys but will chew the bark off small willow sticks.
THEIR DIET
Their favorite hay is 3rd cutting timothy hay from Small Pet Select. They nibble hay cubes. But they get most excited about fresh grass. They gobble up guinea pig pellets.
They eat nearly any vegetable. The only thing rejected so far was zucchini. Their favorites are dandelion leaves, fennel, cilantro, parsley, banana leaves, kale, collard greens, kohlrabi, carrot tops and roots, beets, bell peppers, corn with the husk, cucumbers, and pumpkin. They go wild for homemade wheatgrass sprouts.
Their water bottle is a 26 ounce Living World Eco+ glass bottle. They drink half of it in a day.
THEIR CINEMATOGRAPHY
The pigs are filmed with the latest GoPro Hero 8 Black in 4K.
Spaghettis cough is so cute
All Guinea pig coughs are cute
Hámster Qué lindo hamsters😊🐹
Si 😁
@@mariaguamanorrillo4508 Guinea pigs*
He's so cute. Even his little cough sounds cute
It’s so cute the way he moves his little paws when he sneezes
I think he gets too excited & swallows too quickly because he is a happy eager little piglet who loves his food 💕💕💕💕
He does love to eat!
0:30 XD My sometimes does the same, while she's eatin' her pellets
Mine too I sadly didn’t realize that’s what she was doing until I watched this
Same here
I did not know guinea pigs could cough
Of course they can, they can also sneeze and fart too.
Yup! If they do it often though you should see the vet
i LOVE it when you are feeding pumpkin and then theres this
_kchshs-_
Guinea pigs. The Definition of happyness.
:)
When my piggie made that noise I thought it was a fart 😂😂
haha
I have heard my guinea pig fart before!
I noticed that you made your voice revealed which is great and it looks like that Spagett looks so adorable when he is embarrassed. You should do a Valentine’s Day 2020 special video with the pigs! Happy Ground-Pigs day!
Haha, I was thinking I should reply to your old comments and let you know!
You're right, Spahgett is very Handsome
:)
Beautiful Mr. Spaghett! Please be careful little dude; you'll aspirate! The slo-mo was out of this world!!!
The slow mo sound was pretty silly!
@@ItsPigs The sounds of Majestic Mr. Spaghett reinforced the idea that he IS a Lion! hehehe I couldn't help but also adore your giggling in the background. You broke the fourth wall - we know you are real now. LOL
@@jbjacobs9514 That's true! He could do a parody of the MGM lion roar thing!
Glad you liked the accidental voice reveal! I didn't plan to talk, but it turned into a blooper that made the video better.
@@ItsPigs RAWR!!!!!!!! Yes, loved the "accidental" vocals! You couldn't help it, Spaghett willed you to laugh uncontrollably...
OMG!! that was soooooo cute! Poor spaghett! It's sounds so cute I wonder what he'd sound like if he could talk! 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
If spaghett could talk, he'd probably sound like meowth from pokemon
OMG! One of mine do that too!!!! I was concerned but when I checked on them they were both just fine.
Yeah, from the comments it seems to be a fairly common thing.
One of my girls does the same thing😅🤣 she also gets hiccups and jerks back and forth when she has hiccups 😂
That is the cutest thing in the world
"Mr. Spaghett is very handsome and quite majestic." 100% agree
Spaghett, slow down! 😂
I hear the same cough from one of my 7 pigs from time to time "1-2× month" when eating, hay there pigs...
1 of my girls will cough when eating. She only coughs once though.
Yeah that's how he normally is too.
my abyssinian does this sometimes. I tell him to eat slower but he never listens
Poor little guy.
All Spaghetts were ok!
my piggy does the same :)
I was wondering why, now I know, thanks to you :)
Glad it helped!
He sounds like me when I have to suppress a burp, a fart, or a sneeze in public.
haha
Mr. Spaghetti is my favorite
:)
One of my pigs had that habit too.
Some peopme say eating fast is a sign of stress, but my piggies loved to be around us and they stayed calm while we were around. Some pigs just can't wait for the food
Our boy Chewie has the same problem, ironically.
My Alfie looks exactly like Spaghett except without red eyes and doesn’t have a white stroke on his nose... they’re so similar 😭 everytime i see spaghett im reminded of him. He does the same things 😭😭
Sounds like an excellent pig!!!
I had a guinea pig which looks like him without the red eyes and white bit on the nose and a tuny but more toffee coloured. She was called toffee and died nearly a year ago.😭
Aww poor sweet dear, how embarrassing 🤣 we have a cat who eats so fast he just vomits, we had to change their bowls and everything.
Lmao I love how his hair just grows straight outta the top of his head. Whats that brown stuff youre feeding them :D
Yeah, it's fun to pet his little crest! It was the recipe from this video: th-cam.com/video/9Q7tvAhgIuo/w-d-xo.html
oh poor spaghett! 🤣
😆❤️🐹👍 I had wee guys who used to do that! 😂
I found that noise distressing when one of my girls did it
We were concerned when he first did it too!
Oh my... My pig does this too!
No teeth issues... Just fast eating...
Mr spaghett is handsome
Spaghett the crazy piggies 🥰🤣🐹🐹
I'm glad it's not something dangerous when they cough! Mine do too sometimes
I love your videos so much all your piggies are soo cute❤️
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
It's Pigs! Yw!!!!😫also thx for messaging meehhhhh
That was so funny I love it
0:29 the wild spaghett call
So adorable😍😍
i laugh every time i hear my piggies cough when they drink water too fast
Cute little baby coughs xD
I DIED IT WAS SO FUNNY😭 I have never seen a piggie cough 😂😂
Hahaha omg I was not expecting that!!!
Spaghett you are too silly!
Sounds like someone is blowing into a kuzzo.
It sounds like a baby coughing mixed with a broken blender high pitched
haha
It's a little honk!
haha
Mr. Spaghett: Hey, everybody! Time is money! Hurry up!🐹😂🍒🍑🍇
I hate when when piggies cough but dang it it's so cute 😲
That pretty much sums up the situation!
Aww Spaghett. :( he seems very happy even so 💜
Yeah I thought it was silly that he was so unfazed and just wanted more hay juice.
Piggy covid lol 😂
Coughing seemed so innocent back then!
I like his white mop
If he coughs, is it because he inhaled some ( into the windpipe), rather than swallowing ( into the esophagus). So, it’s a real problem!
My Fluffy Butt doesnt seem to chew his. He makes a moaning type sound then does what Spaghett does
Poor, little guy.
All Spaghetts continue to be ok! He actually hasn't been doing it very much lately except for this special occasion.
Madame Janine does the same thing as spaghetti, for the some reason.
Yes Guinea pigs eat fast orbs because when in the wild they tend to eat food fast in case of an attack by predators so they can get away fast
My guinea pig Oreo is the same way.
It sounds like an alien 👽
so cute :D
People think I'm nuts because I think everything pigs do is cute
I understand! ❤️
Spaghett is silly! Have you checked with the vet if that is a normal sound? Because coughing in a guinea pig should be checked. You guys have pretty voices!
It's normally more of a once a week thing while he's eating vegetables so it seems like he's just eating too fast. He can eat _unbelievably_ fast. The other pigs do it too sometimes. So I'm thinking he just got some hay stuck in his throat to cause this outburst. If he kept up the coughing fit we'd get it checked out but he's been back to normal since. So I guess overall we're approaching it in a similar way to sneezing.
It's Pigs! Rocky always eats super fast because he doesn’t want Dorian to have some. Mostly when it’s grass. Dorian cries when Rocky eats all the food.
@@lovewheeks1208 Pigs are so bad at sharing!
It's Pigs! Tell me about it. All I hear is running when I give them food then 3 minutes later Dorian crying. Fat Rocky pushes Dorian away to get to the food.
@@lovewheeks1208 Haha, they sound like quite a pair!
She is inhaling it into her lung. That can be dangerous causing pnemumonia.
I had thought about that but he does this with solid food too and has been able to drink from the syringe before without issue. I also thought he would not want more if he felt like he was choking on it. It looks like he almost coughs while eating at the beginning before drinking so I theorized he got too excited and didn't chew his hay very well.
They are so fluffy!!
Yeah, they are pretty soft too!
Aww! I hope he gets better🙂
WHO TOUCHED MAH SPAGHET
:D th-cam.com/video/8IV0eULc7Jw/w-d-xo.html
My guinea pig Jen does the same thing
Oh my gosh that gave me a heart attack the first time my pigs did that!
Yeah we found it concerning at first too!
My pig does the same thing and I thought she was possessed
Mystery solved!
What is that Juice you’re giving them?
th-cam.com/video/9Q7tvAhgIuo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks
What was in the syringe? Vitamins? They like it!
It was this recipe: th-cam.com/video/9Q7tvAhgIuo/w-d-xo.html
Its spaghetts sneezeCEPTION
Piggos don't know the meaning of 'slow down!' Bacon is an eager drinker - he'll cough on water sometimes! But it's never for a long time. Piggy coughs can be funny, as long as you know they're always okay.
I Never Knew Guinea Pigs Coughed 😂
spaghett said to delete it XD
one of my guinea pigs used to do this
👏
I have this with my 2 that are 2 years old chocking sounds , i somtimes wonder if its hair in there froat. When thay eat strawgrass it goes away .
Yeah, it seems like a fairly common thing judging by the comments today.
Poor spaghetti!! 😊
My guinea pig does this when she chokes on food or just coughs
Yeah, it seems like a fairly common thing judging by the comments today.
Haha, that is funny!
He's a quirky pig!
when somebody hearts your comment even though the video is 7 months old
But why not go for more than a year old?!? :P
Yes I will see more to help
Its rare, but sometimes my guinea pig (i think only teddie now) starts hooting... she always stop hooting after a little bit, making that same noise (00:30)
Butternut did some hooting once and we got paranoid she might have a URI. That was her other vet visit. They didn't find anything conclusively wrong but gave her some antibiotics anyway. I'm still not totally sure if we caught something early or were just being paranoid. But I think our personal weird sound policy now is that we try not to worry if the sound is rare and there are no other symptoms.
Aww my gpigs always take food
Did you see the vet? Thats scary!
Nah, this level of coughing fit was a one time thing, maybe he got some hay stuck in his throat or something. Several of them cough occasionally when they eat too fast as well.
My female piggie did this often and it was due to her always drinking too fast. Like the water was going to vanish.
Yeah, it seems like a fairly common thing judging by the comments today. Spaghett has sort of the opposite problem that he spills about half the water he tries to drink!
What is the fluid you're giving your piggies in this video?
What did spagget just do ;-; did he just jump back 😳😳😳
Man that stuff seem gooooooooddddd 😂😂😂
HE COUGHED SO CUTEEE 😍😍😍
Seems to be the guinea pig version of a cough.
My guinea pig does that
If u don't mind me asking, what exactly did u feed him in that syringe??? Thanks and ♥️ ur videos.
No problem! It was this recipe: th-cam.com/video/9Q7tvAhgIuo/w-d-xo.html
@@ItsPigs Thank u so much. I'm gonna try this on my piggies 😊😊😊😊😊
Awww
0:29 *SCREAMER*
I feel bad for that Guinea pig but why does he eat fast and doesn't chew the food
Hey speghett here yes as yo can see I still have my embarrassing secret I still have the coughs rather embarrassing you know for a nice handsome guinepig like me not nice for the girlies either to hear me cough oh my fur I will get over it soon so the girlies will like me even more
he is ok right
Yup!
You gave him an awful lot at once. If they aspirate too much liquid they can get pneumonia. Please don't squirt so much into his mouth at a time. 💙
