Squeak Dreams oh I know❤️❤️❤️ and you’re very welcome😊 I rescued some baby piggies and one of them looks just like your Sprite🤗 so that’s what I named her🤗 have a wonderful week and say hi to the piggies for me
Your videos are so well balanced with action shots of the piggies and sections of you talking directly to us. I love the captions of the piggy thoughts too! You make the information so accessible for me as well. You're my favorite guinea pig TH-camr 🐹
I think guinea pigs make great pets too.. they are fluffy, adorable and such characters…. Plus if you have 2 or more, you really get to enjoy different personalities…. We hav3 2 males - Tucker and Chewy.. Tucker is more outgoing, VERY loud, bossy, and he loves taking a nap during lap time. - or at least he loves flopping down on my lap.. Chewy is shy, sweet, a little too skittish, and much quieter than his brother,,..he is getting better at lap time.. I can tell that their previous owner only fed a few types of veggies - our piggies don’t know what fresh herbs are and have no desire to eat dried herbs, have never seen (or eaten) any fruit…. The other day Chewy ran away from tomato..lol.. I did find that Chewy loves carrot tops.. and Tucker loves sweet peppers... I’ve started eatin* healthier since we got the guinea pigs - I love romaine lettuce, cucumbers and baby carrots..
wow 3 years went so fast 😅 my piggies passed away since you last uploaded. Happy you're back so I can get my guinea pig fill as I won't be getting anymore x
Hi, I only just started to subscribe to your channel yesterday and afterwards I thought "why did I do that, she hasn't released a new video in years". And then I woke up this morning to a new video, talk about excellent timing👌😃.
Holy smokes, you came back and TH-cam didn't even notify me!! My piggies crossed the Rainbow Bridge and my "new" ones are almost 3 now since you were last here. So glad to see you back!
@@SqueakDreams I have watched this a few times; so glad you're back!!! Thanks for returning and for the video. I am sorry I didn't get to comment the first time, but glad to see u and the piggies! Stay safe. :-)
Your videos are awesome and you are a real inspiration for to keep our guinea pigs happy. We started with two and after lots of your videos we got more confident to get extra guinea pigs.
Welcome back! I am new to your channel funnily enough .. first video I have watched. I don't have Guinea Pigs myself because I haven't really got the time for them but I do have a thing for them .. I adore these little creatures. Great video. Enjoyed it and again, welcome back!
I didn't know about Twiglet! I know Willow was an older piggy, so it was a given, but Twiglet? I knew there was someone missing! Btw, the reason I'm leaving another comment is because I wanted to tell you how much I love your hay! I know you did a video a ways back about hay, and I saw your regimen, the meadow hay, and the alfalfa king Timothy hay. Your meadow hay looks wonderful, so long stranded, I wish I could get it here in the States!
Twiglet was Willow's baby that she had when they were both brought into the RSPCA over 5 years ago when I adopted them, unfortunately she passed early this year due to bloat. RIP sweet Twiggie
@@SqueakDreams I can't wait to see the new hay video! Yes, I remember the video when you got both mommy and baby, and then only a few days later, you got Lyra! Lol, I told you I was a fan, lol! Ah, poor Twiglet, hope she didn't have much pain!😥
Squeak Dreams you’re welcome. So happy to see you back! Your channel was so helpful when I was deciding if piggies were right for me & now they’ve taken over my life 😍😍
Thank you Yvonne! I have a few recent videos on settling in piggies and building trust which might help you 😊 taming can take a long time though! I don't have a video on the pouches at the moment but its on my list 😄
@@SqueakDreams ok thanks. I only got them in November so I will work with them. I’ve actually just lay my hand in the cage with food in and they were smelling and nibbling at me thumb 😂😂. So I just kept talking. I will keep interacting with them and let you know how I go. I love following all your videos and your info. So glad I found you on here. Take care stay safe I look forward to hearing from you. Xxx
Welcome Back I am sorry about twiglet. I just had on of mine pass away last week. She was the last of 3 I got in 2015, the other two passed away last year and i had got a neutered boar.
so happy ur back how big is ur cage my boys cages are 140x70cm for 2 pigs its crazy to think last time I watched one of ur videos u had started bonding ur spayed female back in her with her mum and cage mate
thank you so much for this video ! i just discovered this channel and i already love it :) i recently got two guinea pigs and i knew they needed more space ! i wanna make them the happiest boys ever
Hello ! We are Phenix and King, making a new Guinea pig channel ! Hadn't seen your videos yet but looking at the comments, and the quality of this video, I'm definitely gonna check your other videos, and understand why your channel is loved so much
so happy your back doing videos Its true what you said about fresh being best, I don't buy any "treats" for my 2 (except pea flakes) as most are full of crap and the ones that arent are really overpriced for what you get
Welcome back🤩 I had learned a lot from your videos before I got my first 3 piggies 3 years ago and really enjoyed watching your piggies. Then suddenly no more videos ... i’m so happy to see you and your piggies again. I should have posted this 2 months ago, though 🥰🌼
Lyra is all grown up!! I missed Willow and Lyra so much! Did Sprite pass on? I know she was a pretty old piggy when you had your channel before. I'm so happy your shop is open, I'm going shopping!!
Awh thank you Susan! Sprite did a few years back yes, she was should a lovely piggie who is still missed! That's great thank you, I will get back to you on Etsy today! 😁
Thank you so much I'm so glad you liked the video! I definitely plan on doing lots of taming and bonding related videos 😁 petting does get easier as they get older and just more tame in general 😊
Looking forward to the next video! I live in a small home and there really is too much items I have bought over the years and too little space for my piggy to have a large living space but I have been working on a C&C cage lately (though I have been unable to get hold of corroplast due to my country's lockdown)
Sarah, how tall is that plastic bin you're using for their hay? I need to get one but don't know how tall is TOO tall. Thanks for this fun video. Soooo excited to find my babies...soon!
Very funny, right around the time you took your break I also took a break with pigs, only recently I got a pair of boars again XD then two weeks later you're back! I'll take credit for that LOL JK XD happy you're back!
Your channel is awesome! I think I’ve watched most of your videos today, and they’re all so so helpful! Thanks for all the content and letting the world see your adorable piggies too! I’m getting 2 new piggies tomorrow and I’m so excited! Do have any written patterns for the tunnels/hideys you’ve made? I’m an avid quilter/sewer and would love to make cage accessories instead of spending money on them.
You have a great setup...and ur piggies r majorly cute! I noticed that you have their hay in a plastic container...do you not find they chew on it? Whenever I have used plastic they try and eat it so I have to stop. What is ur secret? Also, I'm in Australia and don't seem to have as much variety in hay...other than Timothy hay, wot is another good choice?
Thank you! Oh yes it's an underbed storage box, they don't chew it other than a tiny nibble now and then. They don't really have to jump in as the entrances are really low, not sure if that helps! Timothy is one of the best hays, my other is just general assorted meadow hay which they seem to enjoy. Timothy is fine too give as a staple all the time and then maybe just try some others now and again to mix in 😊
@@SqueakDreams thank you for the advice. I'll try and find out if there is anywhere around that may have Timothy hay, as it seems to be the best. Regarding the container, I might give it a try...tho the dish I give them their veges in has metal hooks that usually hook over the wire on cage, and one of my piggies seems to love chewing on the container and the hooks...will see how he goes. Thanks again for the advice...look forward to more videos 😁❤
I’m a new subscriber and catching up on your videos ❤️ what happened to twiglet? Did she not make it after not being well?:( I love your videos by the way!x
Hi thank you for your comment! I have in the past and have used ivermectin to treat running lice. I think there is an old video about this 😊. I also tried to treat hay mites with it but they are difficult to get rid of, and don't actually harm the piggie either. I don't take preventative care, guinea pig lice and mange mites are species-specific to just guinea pigs and cannot survive long without their host, so the risks of catching them when they are never in contact with other pigs is very low 😊
Thanks! Yes they can, as long as its safe (usually no lid so if there's other pets they might get in) and you can set up a waterproof liner or something for the bottom of the pen, 😊
I love this video! This is a little off topic, but I need advice. I just got two girls yesterday and they’ve been drinking and eating pellets and hay. I gave them a veggie bowl today, but they haven’t eaten it even when I left the room. I haven’t been touching them or picking them up, I know you’re supposed to wait for all of that. Should I seek a vet or just give them time? Thank u
Thank you! They are probably just a little wary and unsure about the veggies maybe, did you try with cucumber and normal (not iceberg) lettuces? If they are babies these more bland things are a good place to start 😊
They’re about 3 months old, so they’re still babies right? I did try with regular lettuce and they were uninterested. I will try with cucumber today. Thank you!
If, I were to make a hay box/litter box for my 3 guinea pigs wouldn't it smell after a while and then would be a waste of hay if so how do i prevent it from smelling?
The downside to hay rooms is that you do get through more hay than just using hay bags or racks, however the plus side is that guinea pigs love having loose hay to eat, play and sleep in. It also encourages them the go to the toilet in one area (so easier to clean) - it shouldn't smell if you clean out everyday, or more if you have lots of piggies. But it only takes a couple of minutes if using newspaper and it means the fleece liner or other parts of the cage don't get dirty as quick. There's pros and cons, I like to see my piggies enjoying their hay where they can reach it easily. Maybe give it a go and see what you think :)
Mine hear the knife hit the counter while I'm chopping their veggies or when their bowls hit the counter and when my watch goes off at dinner time lol and they go nuts when I give them fresh hay
I've fallen in love with guinea pigs over the last few months and I'm going to be getting some soon I live in the uk so I'm going to probably going to get them from pets at home is it a good idea to get an older one that is up for adoption and a baby one I think it would be a good idea to have an older one to learn from
An older one would be a nice idea, but I would highly recommend checking out guinea pigs at a local rescue. Its fantastic to support the work they do, you can get some beautiful bonded pairs (such as a paired older and baby male if thats what you are thinking) and avoid the problems that are all too often associated with guinea pigs from pet shops (mis-sexing, infections, other health problems, poorly socialised piggies). You can often track down rescues on Facebook or Google 😊
Hi Bertha - it can start to smell if the pads need changing out, but generally they pee in the litter tray and hotspots around the cage where I put the waterproof pads on top of the liner. I change the litter tray out everyday, pads usually last 3-4 days and the liner can last up to two weeks.
There is literally no greater sign of happiness than when I put fresh hay into a clean litter box and Bandit tummy-plants straight into it!! 😂❤❤❤
So glad you’re back and I’m so very sorry to hear about Twiglet! RIP sweet little Twiglet, you’ll be missed!
Awh thank you so much Dawn, I wish Twiggie was still with us! ❤️
Squeak Dreams oh I know❤️❤️❤️ and you’re very welcome😊 I rescued some baby piggies and one of them looks just like your Sprite🤗 so that’s what I named her🤗 have a wonderful week and say hi to the piggies for me

I've fallen in love with guinea pigs over the last few months and I'm going to be getting some soon
I live in the uk so I'm going to probably going to get them from pets at home
is it a good idea to get an older one that is up for adoption and a baby one

your videos really help me
What makes our guinea pigs happy? Food 😆😂
hi my piggies not moving so much... i don't know what to do..
Is a 120 cm cage ok for 2 guinea pigs?
If 60cm deep yes it meets minimum requirements. I explain more about cage sizes in my next video 😊
Squeak Dreams thanks, I wish I had a cage like yours 😍
Can you cancel the mid west to look like a square🙂
How do you deal with the pee all over the cage does it not smell? Or have they learn to pee in one place?
Hi Bertha - it can start to smell if the pads need changing out, but generally they pee in the litter tray and hotspots around the cage where I put the waterproof pads on top of the liner. I change the litter tray out everyday, pads usually last 3-4 days and the liner can last up to two weeks.
I notice that your cage isn't that high. They won't jump out?
5:21 That is hilarious xD
Where’s twiglet
Why is it better to get like a female and a female or a male and a male piggie?
Please don't use the word "slave", it's really insensitive. Especially because you're white, some of us have families that actually were slaves.
Noted, thank you xxx
