The man who needs no introduction, the myth, the legend, Scotty!!🐹
hahahaah!!!! I need some kind of introduction: The man with guinea pig hair and poop on his shirt!
My 2 boys. My oldest 1 Teddy was 2 yrs old when I got a baby male. Hoping they would get along. But they okay in the beginning now they fight. They are seperated side by side
Yes !!!!!
“We’re in this mess together”
You’re the best! Thanks for all you do for the guinea pig community!
I can never get over garis floofy teddy bear face 😍
I love the affection you have towards animals, very heart warming. I have an adult male and a 3 month old and the adult male bit a part of the little guys ear off and made him bleed. I was told them being bonded together is over once blood is drawn
BB just let's Scotty think hes overseeing the piggie operation. Well played my friend.
Scotty you have SAVED me !! Having pigs as an adult is wayyyy different than having them as a kid.... your videos have been so helpful!
It’s very cute how adult male piggies love babies. Also BB has opinions as well
Thank you so much for advising against bonding babies with adults. Social media is full of bad advice, “you can only bond brothers” or “get a baby for your lone boar as it always works” (until they become teenagers!) We’ve got 16 rescued boys of various ages (mostly old)& none are related.
We have got our 16 boars in a herd- I don’t recommend that to others though as it can be risky. Mine are very chilled boars now (like Saskia’s) and they live in a very large enclosure (or large room in our house in winter). I have spare cages for separating pigs if they were to fall out.
I love your channel. It’s great to see someone else with so many boars.
The Crazy Guinea Pig Family 16 boars in a herd? Are they neutered?
Only 2 are neutered (they arrived like that) and 14 aren’t. My original 12 have been together a long time without drama. I’ve recently added 2 special needs piggies (blind, head tilt and 1 who had a stroke after mange seizures) & 2 babies as they weren’t thriving without a healthy grown up pig to “teach them how to pig”! :) 3 weeks later and all is calm. Fingers crossed.
Thanks Happy Puppy, it wasn’t really planned. There’s no Guinea pig rescue in my city & I kept spotting sad looking piggies in “free to a good home” adverts. I have plenty of space.
That's a lot of boars in a herd!
@Happy Puppy Pink Cupcake Kisses truly!
Thanks Scotty your videos are always so helpful. Loved to see BB enjoy talking and giving us advice too lol ❤️😉
This is super helpful and your voice is really soothing lol! I have four girls, in two pairs -I’d love to put them together but I get to nervous when I see them chasing.
I am so glad to find this video. I have worried about bonding our older boy with our new baby. We adopted him and he has been a single guy for over a year. As far as I know his whole life. After I dug into some research I found out they needed a buddy and adopted a baby. They have cuddled and moved around each other but the most aggressive behavior I have seen is our big guy expressing his dominance. It has been pretty smooth otherwise. I have watched your videos all evening. I did get the original guinea pig after my youngest who is 7 but mature for her age has been asking for one. I am taking responsibility for them both and I have seriously fallen in love with these little guys. Thanks for all you do for these fuzzy sweet pets.
Great video Scotty, going to share in a group I'm in
Just bonded two boys today. Your video was very helpful and they bonded.
Thanks Scotty! Great, informative video. Gari is so cute!!!! I look forward to more from your channel :)
I agree
Hey Scotty luv ur videos!!!!
Thank you, Sherry
Another great video Scott, piggies are so cute love your accent too! 🇺🇸 Elvis has got to be my favourite obviously 🎵 🎸
Who's accent?
Scotty sounds like Elvis! ?
Scotty's Animals Yours 😊🇺🇸
Scotty I have learnt so much from watching your videos. It's really been amazing! My 2 females ended up being a male and female and now looking at seperating my male from my girlies the moment babies are born and trying to bond one of the male pups with him for companionship. Praying it will work out
WOW!!! Got all my answers here. Thank you so much =)
I was able to bond 5 boys together.
Are they all from the same litter
tulip flower did you have to neutered/spayed them?
whoa
You are so helpful! I thank you so much on behalf of my two new piggies.
I can't get another geinea pig so what I did to make my geinea pig happy is I just turned on other geinea pig sound and he started talking as well and that was the best day ever
My dude said, "Give them a bath so they bond thru the trama!" 😂😂 life is hard
i managed to form a good bond between two boys guinea pigs tied, my first piglet at 8 months was the new 6-7 months. Where we brought the new they said they wouldn’t get along with each other so we could only hope it wouldn’t. They both met for the first time in an unfamiliar area where there was little chasing but no fighting. About an hour later, they lay side by side in the same pose. They’ve been together ever since, there wasn’t a big fight. Sometimes they get together a strand of hay or vegetables. The big one sometimes chases the little one, sometimes they get together and there will be a little force pointing and going to click but that more serious fight is missed by luck. I don’t know if the fact that none of them had a partner in front of each other for a long time contributed to this
I tried to add my boy to three girls. Did not end well. He got bitten on his leg and stomach. When I put him together with just one of the girls, he bit her mouth open, so we rushed her to the vet. It healed just fine, but for now he lives beside them, which he seems fine with. He talks to them at times and popcorns, being active like a normal piggy would. We have been talking about making him a bigger cage and give him a baby girl.
neutered? It should have gone well.
Yup, neutered. My boyfriend and I was sure it would work, too. We were then told that testosterone would be gone from his body in a year after the neutering and to keep trying :/
The “anniversary” will be this january and he will be about 3 years
@@cbm_night have you tried bathing them altogether? Bath them, dry them off, have veggies together, bond in a large neutral area. Before trying that try swapping bedding and houses. So they all get used to each others scents for a few weeks.
@@skinnypigs1 We tried to the bathing thing a couple of times, but the boss girl really does not want to give up her status and he wants to be the boss. She will chase him around until he gets enough and someone gets hurt. The swapping thing is something we still do. He will end up trying to find them and call for them, but the girls look confused and get riled up with puff-up back fur and complaining noises.
@@cbm_night well sometimes personalities just don't match!
I did everything the way you show my 2 sows are not a match 🥺 and one of them was pregnant before I got her and ended up having 2 boys and now she’s going to be sad when I move the boys to the new cage
That guy loves those animals, lol. I rescued a herd of 3 about a month ago. A mommy, a daddy, and a baby girl. I am going to likely end up with two more girls for a bit, so I needed to know how to do this. I am making all the cages myself because I have a ton of space for them in my large basement. I'm working on a design that is mobile and keeps the guinea pigs safe from predator animals so they can free range a bit when the weather gets warmer. :)
Where is the link you talked about at 4:40. I can't seem to see it pls?
let little boy chirp, I love parrots
Please help me out brother cause I'm new to pigs. I inherited 2 pigs from the same mom. One died after a yr he had lung problems. The other one was perfectly fine. They were 2 yrs old so I bought a 1 yr old pig and the original pig keeps humping him when he leaves his house or runs around.
funnily enough im having the hardest time bonding my four girls, not my two boys! my old boy loves and gets along with everyone, one of my old girls is extremely aggressive for seemingly no reason to my old boy, other old lady, and two young females, but absolutely adores my young boy, and the older of the two young females HATES my two older ladies and refuses to bond with old lady Badger or old lady Judy, but LOVES my young boy gatsby, my old boy guinness, and my youngest girly peppercorn. ffs i just want them to not kill each other as im over having 3 singles and a trio. (my young boy gets neutered tomorrow and he'll be the next large scale introduction) and i have a 6X5 C&C cage that is able to be further expanded if its just a space issue
I have 2 boys (Quasi & Poncho) who been together since birth. I separated them from their mom and sister. They fight around sometimes but at night they sleep next to each other in YingYang form.
As soon as Scotty said Gari's name, Gari looked at him like 'what?!' 15:58
Wee Companions bonded our 9 month old boar with a baby - and wow did the baby grow up fast and all of the brotherly love! They live in the same room, a couple feet apart because the "baby" would try to bite the older one through the bars. Baby is now over 1 year old - Wondering if we should try re-bonding them?
What if they are girls but one is a baby and the other is a adult but they are running and the baby is trying to like dominate and the adult is running?
I got another gueina pig because the baby gueina pig sister died?
Glad I watched this . I have a 2year old male piggy who has always been on his own..... Was the last of his litter! I'm starting too think of getting him a friend....I keep being told too have him neutered and get a female ! So it's interesting that you say it would work better with a baby boy ☺️ need too really think about if this will just upset my boy as he has always been spoilt 🤷
I just got two guinea pigs one male and one female should I lock the female in a separate cage while I’m at work or the male…..also I have two water bottles one facing out the cage and in the cage I have their cage in a playpen they look like they’re having a hard time drinking water I have the nozzle on the very bottom of cage by base need help asap
Informative and I got my Gari fix ❤❤❤
My rescue want to board my 2 yr old who recently Lost her female cage mate for 4-7 days and nights to bond her with another. Is this normal? Can’t bear to let her go for that long 🙁
Can someone help me my friend has 7 guinea pigs and they all are fighting the poor daddy is bleeding and their kind of new to guinea pigs so I’m helping them but I know this wasn’t play fighting their was blood all over the pee pad and all over him and hea in my room in a deferent cage bug he is peeing a lot and I mean like for a hidey hole I used a box and 2 hours later it’s soacked some one plz help mee
Thank you!!! One of my males passed yesterday and his brother is alone. I can’t merge him with a bonded pair I have as it is male and female and the male HATES other males. So I will bump their cages up and let them see each other that way!!! Yeah!!
I watched this video too late and put together two baby boys from the same litter. They teeth chatter and nip at each other but the fighting never got bad enough to where there is blood or missing hair
I tried to bond my guinea pig with one of his sons and he started to rumble and hump him, I split them up. The baby is half his size is it still too early? He has 3 sons in total how can I tell which is the best to bond him with? Thank you!
I had just gotten a guinea pig and he runs from me. It’s been 3 weeks now and he hates being picked up But gets excited to see me. How can I get it so I can hold and pet him without chasing him?
try rewarding him when you pick him up!! or reward him while picking him up
I began the bonding process today with my new piggy and my other sweet piggy who lost her cage mate a few weeks ago. I thought it would go very well as the new piggy is extremely easy going, and so is my older piggy. Almost right away they were agressive with eachother, and started getting into. I am unsure how concerned I should be, as There was no blood but my older piggy did pull out clumps if fur from my newer piggy. It's been very stressful. I separated them each time, unsure how serious it was but I'm scared my older piggy is going to hurt the newer one.
I have a piggy that has been alone for 3 years and i just got him a friend. Both are males but also both are kind of bullies. Is the 3 years of being alone going to influence if they will bond?
Just love you!
So I have 2 boars Huey my Skinny who is between 4-8 months old unsure as we got him at a pet shop. Weighs about 1.8pounds. Fluffy a year old according to the humane society I rescued him from a week ago. Who is a pound more then Huey. They have had 3 skuffles resulting in scratches on the skinny. Hear a lot of rumble strutting and chattering etc. No bite marks. I only pull the divider from their 2x5 C and C when I can monitor them. Yesterday Huey lunged at Fluffy no fight he back off from what we saw.
Did I make a bad choice in pairing based on the age? Both boys are sweet and usually no issues with the divider. The scratches are just breaking the skin hardly.
how do i bond my girl and boy guniea pig?
Oh wow. My boys were in that 20%. Shaddow was 12wks and Gimli was 9wks when I got them. Shaddow is the dom though they get on like brothers
I have two young boys that live together. My teenage daughter got them and can't commit so I took them over. So far so good I suppose but any advice for the future Scott?
Don’t listen to your daughter until she can prove she can handle two exotic pets
This was so helpful! I have the sweetest male guinea pig and I really would like another guinea pig, but I don’t want a boy so I don’t have to deal with the fighting and such. I am thinking about getting a female guinea pig so this really helped! Thank you so much!! Any other advice?
If you get a girl you will have babies. Piggies get pregnant in seconds
You can neuter the boar
Can you do a video on barbering 😭😭
Thank you ❤️ I just lost one of my male guinea pigs. I’m so sad but I know his “brother” that he left behind is gonna need a friend at some point. How long do pigs grieve for?
When we are ready and the virus has calmed down I really want to visit the sanctuary in Hampton NH to see if we can find a potential friend.
what about bonding a two month old boy with an adult boy or the two month old boy and then getting a older girl? which one is best i need to get another g-pig for my baby boy. Someone help me know which one is better
or what about getting another baby boy?
I have a 3 month old boy that I just adopted and a 1 year old boy that I already had at home. I let the 3 month old have time to relax to the new home and then I introduced them. Everything was great, lots of "talking" and purring but no teeth chattering. About 15 minutes in the 3 month old peed on the 1 year old, it made him mad. He started chattering his teeth and then the 3 month old started and they did face each other. No biting or lunging, but I got worried so I separated them and put them into their own cages to cool down. Should I keep trying? They were so happy until the little one peed on him. I am going to build a C&C cage, I can always have a divider. Just wanted some input! Thanks!
Hey Scotty! Thanks for these awesome videos! A few days ago, I got a teenage Guinea pig for my loaner 5 year old pig. There is no biting or fighting, and they even lay down together at times, but the older one is annoyed by the younger one when the younger one sniffs his behind or try’s to get him to play, especially when eating. Is this normal, and will they be okay getting along?
Wow. I found my new favorite channel. I have so many questions. I just adopted my 2nd guinea pig yesterday and it was very last minute and unexpected, but he needed a home. I have never bonded guinea pigs before and these are the best videos I have found so far. But I am curious how the success rate is for bonding a teen and an adult male.. Is it similar to bonding 2 adults. I feel I have so much to say and ask to fit it all into a comment....
No teenagers are the hard. He says in the video sometimes they have to be separated during the teenage years.
Teenagers can be little monsters! But you could try to bond them & if it doesn’t work you could try again in a few months when there’s less hormones around.
@@claudieC. yes teenagers can be wild but I wouldn't separate them unless they have been fighting. And then you can always try again later.
@@ScottysAnimals I was going to try tonight to put them in a bigger bonding cage and see how it goes, so if all goes well and there is no bloodshed, am I able to move them into a cage together and not have to worry or should I try floor time a few times first? My teenager (hank) is now starting to rumblestrut through the bars at echo, the older new piggie I just adopted so I don't know if I should wait to do the introduction or not. It's been almost a week since I got echo.
I have a adult male living alone.... I am planning on getting a baby piggie to accompany him. He has been living alone for sooo long and I know they need to live with others. What if they fight when that new baby piggie gets older? My parents really don’t want them to fight. Anybody have any helpful advice?
You just said it. I'm just stating the facts you can do whatever you want. How can I help? I can sing to them in a couple months and tell them to chill
I have 2 girls that were put together at 6 and 8 weeks old they got along great they are in a midwest cage lots of room but now at 6 months old one girl is very dominant to the other no nipping or biting she just gets in her face and gives the look it upsets the other piggie and she squeaks takes food from her too been working with ruby to be nice but nope she gives me a look like really mom doing what I want
Add another midwest connect the 2. They are at sexual maturity so a bit hormonal, so more space should help.
Thanks I will try that
Pet store sold me a 6 month old female and said she does better on her own, should I believe them or get another?
This comments pretty old but It’s extremely rare for a guinea pig to prefer to be alone, and even then you should have another guinea pig around their cage, i would try and get play dates for her, either way i would NEVER take a pet stores word for it
My two adult males that are brothers seem unhappy since the dominant one likes to chase the other male and he also chatters his teeth as well..... any advice?
I’m watching all these bonding videos. My terminal girl will soon leave her beloved sister behind alone. They are very close & docile. I have 2 other girls in adjoining enclosure. One is an extremely submissive piggy but Agnes is not. She’s quite aggressive & lucky Pearl excepts to be the lower ranking. She will squeal in submission. I did try 4 together but had to separate as Agnes got aggressive. I don’t know if she will except princess. She did try to nip. I will watch the trio video also & saskias one. If all else fails I will of course get another friend from a rescue for princess. I think we may be in the 20% 😞. It’s scary as I’ve never done before & it’s hard to know if there’s biting happening or just nipping xx
I am thinking about getting a baby boy guinea pig friend for my 1-year-old guinea pig. I would definitely adopt one from your shelter, but I live in New York. Do you recommend any shelters in New York for me?
Help! Our sweet skinny pig, Silas died today and the remaining pigs in his cage are now attacking the other skinny boy. Do you think they will work it out? The two skinny pigs snuggled and cuddled because they are so cold and now Samson is missing his Brother AND being chased around by the two other piggies . Never really had an issue with bonding until our Derrick and now I have to split all 4 up. They are fighting like the girls in your video.
Thank you for separating them I’m sure you saved his life. Give him a Teddy Bear to snuggle with in his snuggle sack. If possible get another skinny pig. Poor piggie. Take care
I got mine from a petstore together one just constantly wants to be alpha the other doesn't really fight or get upset what age would you say is baby because mine are a year old
Hi scotty we’ve lost our little boy just over a week ago and have just adopted a 9 month old boy. He is very sassy and while we are introducing them the 9month old is teeth chattering and getting up in our 4 year olds face any suggestions on what to do?
Is there a way to tell if it isn’t working out with babies. I just got 2 boys from a breeder, one is 4 months and the other is 6 weeks. I’ve been seeing a lot of humping and bum waving from the older one but no fighting. I would want to be able to separate them before it got serious. Are there warning signs I should look out for?
What about a neutered male with a female piggy? Will this work? As I have 3 male pigs, 2 together and 1 on his own. I’m wanting to neuter the male piggy and then get him a lady friend
how old would you count a baby boy as, we have a 5 month old boy that was seperated from a group at a pet store and we want to find him a mate. could we bond a 6 week old boy with him?
Hey! loved the video, i was just wondering your thoughts on one adlut male and one young male being bonded? i currentally have two boys seperated cause of fighting and wanted to get a new home mate for both of them but they are both 2 years old. what do you think is best for my boys?
Hi I just wanted to ask can tow female not get along ?
And how many Guinea pigs do you have?
Hi I do breading do you recommend that??
what age do you consider a guinea pig a baby until?
At what age do you say they are adults? I have a young daddy pig who is only about 5 months older than his son. The son was one in july. They sporadically fight or tiff, there's been no blood shed so is this normal and ok to keep them together??
I have a 1 year old female guinea pig right now and I got her about 10 months ago i would like to get another so she is not alone i have had her over for playdate with my freands pigs and she dose very good and plays well. CAN I still try to bonding her with a other female around a 1yr old or would it be better to find a baby pig to adoption
I put them side by side and they still bite each other through the cage. They can see each other across the room.
Plexiglass between side by side biters is great. They can be close but safe.
Oh my goodness
Hello iam a new mommy Guinea pig my guinea pig is a couple of weeks have one so do I need to get another one from the same litter or buy adult Guinea pig ?? I have a boy...
i like your advice in this video about neutering and surgeries. im going to be getting 3 baby piggies and not sure of 3 females or 2 females and 1 boy but that would mean i would have to neuter the male and he would to too young to do a neuter. and not sure how much the surgery costs. might just do 3 females. plus i feel surgery is wrong and risky.
My craziest bonding story: I was fostering a gorgeous neutered black Silkie adult male for a couple months. The rescue tried to pair him with multiple females and was unsuccessful. I housed him next to 2 other foster (from a really bad hoarder situation) black neutered males. While I was at work, the three males managed to break through the grids to be together. I tried to split them apart, but the next day they were all together again. Knowing that it would near to impossible to adopt out a trio, I adopted all 3. We call them the black horde. They are all Silkies, but only one is obviously from a breeder. He is spectacularly beautiful, but I curse the developer of long haired guinea pigs every day. Why on earth would you think it would be a good idea to breed rodents who need daily brushing and stying? But I digress......
Oh my gosh that is precious! They just really wanted to be together.
linlouwho123 haha that is awesome I agree!
The heart wants what it wants!
Why people think that you can't have only one guinea pig? I have one boy and we are bonding 24/7 perfectly. We do everything together, even shopping and going to church. If you are alone and single, you can absolutely live so happily with one pig, trust me. Greetings from Europe. 🙏❤️😇
Don’t take your guinea pig outside man 😂
Could I please ask some advice? I have just adopted a female Guinea to bond with my neutered male, just got her last night, she is very scared, should I let her settle in before introducing to my other guinea? Not sure if it will stress her out or bring her comfort that she's not on her own.
Yes. You should keep her in a temporary setup for one week before the bonding.
I just bought a baby male, I didnt do my research and now I'm not sure what to do. I looked on Craigslist because I dont want to buy another one and all the ones at the petstore are babies anyway so sounds like they woukd not get along for very long anyway. In Craigslist I foubd someone giving away a single 3 year old male. Should I try that and then if they fight in the future at least I could cage them side by side? I'm not sure what the best option is. I was gonna call the shelter and see if I could bring him to visit, but since hes a baby it sounds like he'll get along with pretty much any boars for now. Should I wait till hes older, is it too mean for him to be alone that long?
Jade Theos get the Craig’s list piggy you will be happy to have two they can live in side by side cages until they calm down. That way they have company. I have many Craig’s list piggies that worked out great.
Go with your plan of doing intros. If one day they fight go to plan b.
Watched the whole video, expecting tried and tested bonding techniques and all we get is, “Don’t give up.” 😏
You need to watch my video called you can't bond guinea pigs. It's not up to you, it's up to them. This video is meant to set expectations based on experience and statistics. I've literally facilitated the bonding of thousands of guinea pigs. You can't force them. Please watch this video th-cam.com/video/OnbzmC0Mj5c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fwrSWCcrDmupJWrK
@@ScottysAnimals Fair enough. I may have misunderstood the aim of this video. I've had a bonded pair of unneutered male siblings for 5+ years. They were recently separated for about a week for medical reasons, and started bickering for the first time ever, which is why I went looking for suggestions. Luckily, they seemed to have worked out their issues now so order has been restored! 😄
I was wondering if you couldd actually separate two guinea pigs who have bonded only for a week. My kids arent fond of the piggie ive chosen and I told them to give her some time but she is too skiddish for them but our previous guinea pig and the new one seem to get along. What I would like to know is would it tramatize my guinea pig if I take her away to bring a new one in?
hey i got a question i got a female guiena pig named leia her sister died December 1st it was hard on her but i recently got a baby female guiena pig name penelope but leia keep meeping and running her off but they layed together what should i do im new to this i did research im only 14 guiena pig mom
I really wouldn't suggest going online to adopt animals because some of them carry illnesses that can spread to you and your family so be careful.
20% for males? That's crazy!
Well darn I guess my girls are the 20% that dont get along . Storm and Nala HATE each other .
@Tat Bas are you sure they're both girls ?
With proper bonding introductions they should be fine.. she's so small that she (should) take to almost anyone. Look up Guinea Pigs 101 on fb and we can help you .

Dude bunches all over
I had the mistake of buying my new piggy from pet land I believe but the worker did know a lot about guinea pigs but I didn’t introduce them before to see how they do they have fought but no biting or anything serious but there are times where they mind their own business and they are calm but it’s when my New Guinea pig gets near my other piggy is when my other piggy starts to chatter his teeth so should I separate them
Also the New Guinea pig is around 4 months and my other one is about 2 years old

This made me lol 😂 love this comment section ❤

I just reconnected my beloved mama piggy with a daughter she hasn’t seen in nearly 4 years. Her cage mate (another daughter) passed away 3 weeks ago, and she desperately needed another companion. Thankfully, they were in that 80%, and got along right away! I even wonder if they somehow remember each other. I made the tough decision to send her home with my friend, because I didn’t want my sweetie to be lonely. Best of luck to anyone trying to find a buddy for their fur baby!
Champagne Honeybee love your story. Mama + baby =❤️❤️
I have a female abby that refused all cage mates even when she was young n the females were older , same age, or younger then her. She even harasses pigs thru a grate! I gave up so she stays in a cage by herself but has a lot of human attention. She’s the 20%lol
I AM NOT TYPING LIKE THIS TO YELL I AM LEGALLY BLIND, JUST SAYING, BUT ANYWAYS, I LOVE YOUR VIDS YOUR BIRDY AND PIGGIES ARE TOO CUTE!! (SO IS EVERY OTHER ANIMAL YOU MAY HAVE, AND YOUR VID WAS TOO FUNNY, I THINK YOUR BIRD WAS JEALOUS AND WANTED ATTENTION BTW "I'M SICK OF ALL THE PIGGIES TAKING THE SPOTLIGHT!" XD JK). I KNOW WHEN/IF YOU FIND NEW HOMES FOR THEM THROUGH IT'S GOTTA BE TOUGH SINCE YOU GET SO ATTACHED TO THEM...AT LEAST THEY'LL BE IN GOOD HANDS WITH YOU. ALSO, I LOVE THAT TAROT SHIRT, IT'S A PERFECT MIXTURE OF SPIRITUALITY AND A CUTE GUINEA PIG! I AM THINKING OF GETTING THAT SHIRT! :D PROPS TO YOU AND THE ARTIST WHO DREW THE AWESOME PICTURE BTW, I LOVE HOW REALISTIC IT LOOKS SO OLD FASHION IT'S PERFECT. :D P.S FORGIVE ANY MIS SPELLINGS AND/OR GRAMMAR MISTAKES IF THERE ARE ANY, THANK YOU. ^_^

Adding my third piggie to my 2 sisters! Hoping it goes well. Researching right now. This channel is so helpful ☺️ thank you!
How did it go?
This is so informative. I had no idea the odds were so low with boys. My boys starting fighting after two months of being together, they’re brothers. I’ve separated them with a grid, but one of them keeps chewing on the grid wanting to get to the other. Im going to try to do a buddy bath. Thanks Scotty! Im learning so much from your channel !!
Wow! When we got our 2 boy guinea pigs babies they were from the same litter and they fought at first. Now they’re grown and they are best of friends. I guess they’re in the 20%. It makes it even more cute because they worked out their differences & now love each other.
You are such an incredible blessing to the Piggie community, Scotty!!!! Thank you for all you do 😇
Gary reminds me of a baby bison.
Great tips! We might be trying to bond our lone boy with a new friend soon. He lost his brother last week so we're seeing how he does the next few weeks. I'll have to think about what pig personality would be the best match for him. You explained things so well and I love that you just tell everything like it is!
I'm sorry for your loss! Your boy will be ready for a new friend whenever you are. And we will be here for you. This might be a great place to ask questions as you Bond your boys
@@ScottysAnimals thanks Scotty! I will definitely do a video if we decide to try some bonding. We might go the side by side sharing grids route to start and see how it goes!
Hi, Scotty. My question about bonding is this: I have a neutered male and a female. They are litter mates and about 10 months old. I had Salvatore neutered on Dec 11, 2019, and waited 3 months before trying to put the two together. That was on March 11th. Salvatore just chased Tosca around, trying to mate with her. Tosca ran for her life and sprayed pee on Sal. That was only for 20 seconds. I separated them and have not tried again. How should I proceed? Will they ever get along?
did your pigs ever get along? in a similar situation right now and not sure what to do!
