I'm not sure if it's just a precaution here in the UK but the vet advice for bonding a neutered male with females is to wait a minimum of 6 weeks, but ideally 8 weeks post surgery to be on the safe side.
I’m gonna miss experiencing the simple things such as cleaning my piggy’s cage. Last night he passed away from a tumor we didn’t even know was there. he was the best pig ever and imma miss him 💕
@@anubisbutgay that’s what my parents have been telling me but bc I’m a high schooler and Guinea pigs have quite the lifespan, I’d be off to college in a couple of years and I don’t wanna be away from the piggy or make my parents become solely responsible for it :( thanks for the well wishes though, they mean a lot ❤️
It should be a law, that any prospective guinea pig owner should be made to watch 3 of your videos. Five is better, whether or not you are willing to put in the time, work and expense will become very clear at this point! A friend of mine babysat 2 piggies for a week and I had never even held one before, but I totally fell in love. So adorable. Watching the work and the money necessary for truly happy, spoiled piggies; No thanx, I'll keep my two kitties. But I'd love to visit some for snuggles and just watching them.
I may be a little late but The pig room has rlly helped me with getting guinea pigs I won't be getting them for a few more weeks but I have their cage, fleece and toys!
Love Ollie. He just reminds me of a sweet little puppy. Made my first pig room purchase and had to include the Ollie pop sticker. Excited for my pigs to get to try the Timothy sticks.
Ollie is so cute! I really appreciate that you took the time to explain how important it is to feed your skinny pigs/Baldwin pigs more than you would your "normal" guinea pig. I don't know if you've seen Alyssa's newest pet vlog video, but her skinny pig Noodles is looking awful. My heart actually hurts for him. His spine is showing, his hip bones are sticking out, and he sits with a hunched back. It's so important, for everyone who wants to own a naked piggie or owns a naked piggie already, to know that Ollie is a perfect example to follow! He looks amazing. Happy New Year Austin and the 17 happy, safe & healthy piggies 🥳
I have received some messages pertaining to this exact thing so I had to look for myself and I have to agree. Alyssa and I’s differences aside, it’s clear to me he is not getting the proper nutrition/enough food to maintain a proper body weight which is super important when it comes to skinny/Baldwin pigs. For Ollie, I feed him almost double the amount of pellets than my other piggies get, multiple top ups of fresh hay throughout the day and an extra leaf of lettuce and pepper for dinner. These breeds require a bit more work than other pigs so it’s important if you own one, do proper research.
What do people typically use to raise the cages? Folding tables? Or...idk. I want to make a nice huge cage for our girl's last years but it's super expensive and I still don't know how to.
My piggies love there new bunk bed I'm so happy I got if for them it's one off the best purchase I've some xx and they love the bamboo chews I'm so happy now there happier ❤❤ x
Thank you so so mutch for taking care of these piggies and rescueing them i personally don't own any guinea pigs but i love watching your videos i do own two hamsters and a dog that i rescued myself :) thanks for these relaxing videos 🐾
My pigs prefer the Kaytee bottles over the full cheeks ones, I honestly prefer them too, they seem to leak less. Do you have toilet paper rolls/paper towel rolls? My pigs favorite toys are tp rolls with the ends closed full of pellets with holes cut in the sides!
Hi I love how you look after your Guinea pigs. Would it not be easier and quicker to put the beds in hot soapy water while your cleaning the bottles so the water cleans all the urine off then sanitise before putting them back in?? X
It was great to see another video really enjoyed seeing the piggies which is highlight of my week, I also noticed with extra virgin coconut oil it has anti fungal ingredients I had a piggie with a bit of fungus on her ear and this helped to clear it up your an amazing person and I love how much you care and dedicate your time to all your piggies I have 11 Guinea pigs and they are worth it 🎉❤
I would just like to let you know that your hay, the Timothy hay, is EXCELLENT!! I'm becoming obsessed with it, it's absolutely perfect Timothy hay, very soft stems, very moist and leafy, not wet when I say moist, just very fresh and not dry or stalky stems, and it's less dusty then my other hay, which I like, Small Pet Select hay and other piggy items from Small Pet Select as well. Their hay is very nice, but dusty lately, however yours wasn't dusty at all, and it's beautiful!! I wanted to ask you if you could do a box with at least 5 lbs., because I have 5 guinea pigs, and they like hay piles, so some does get wasted. I'm wanting to order again, so let me know if you can do a larger box, although I see the box is full when it comes, so I don't know if it's possible right now. Nice video!
Hey, Austin! As a skinny pig owner, I can't recommend a humidifier enough. It'll help Ollie's skin a TON. Even with the oil baths, his dry skin is still very painful. A humidifier will make his skin more smooth and he'll be way more comfy, too!
If your cleaner that is a from a concentrate is not mixed at the right dilution, and is over diluted, it’s going to not kill the proper amount of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores that is claims it would. Plus it needs to sit for a certain amount of time wet, it could need to sit for 10 mins wet.
Hi! Just wondering what brand and type of water filter you keep water in to use for your piggies. so many options and i don’t know which one would be best. i really love your channel and it’s obvious you care for them a lot and put a lot of hard work into making sure they are the happiest and healthiest piggies. i really admire your dedication!
7:47 Are his piggies and fleece liners magic or something?? My pigs barely tolerate the little hand held vac I use for my floor and they certainly would not like it in the cage and whenever I try to vacuum or sweep my liners the top fleece layer always gets sucked up even though they are sewn together.
Where do you get the cleaner at? I look forward to beable to buy some of your products. Thank you for all that you do to give these wonderful little piggies a better life.
I waited 5 weeks after my male pigs neuter before introducing him to the ladies just to be safe haha, i believe my vet told me 4 weeks but i wanted to just be sure.
Fortunately, your guinea pigs have a wonderful life. With me in the Netherlands there are 400! guinea pigs were taken from a house with a woman who (fortunately) sought help herself because she could no longer care for them. This was on TV. These guinea pigs have gone to a shelter and they expect this number to double as many are about to have babies. So sad....
How often would you give Ollie a coconut oil bath? I have a skinny pig too and I want to stay on top of hydrating his skin. I have been warned about oil clogging pores on hairless guines pigs.
p.s. Ollie is so calm! My skinny pig, Wilbur, cries and whimpers whenever I rub coconut oil on his feetsies and skin 😅 it's enough to break your heart!
I love watching you, I dont't even have piggies of my own, you are just so sweet. But please please please use gloves when you clean. Touching all that feces and urine can not be good for your health, I am sure you wash up thoroughly, but there can always be something under the nails that you can't see. Please take this as advice and not criticism, you are incredibly kind to your animals and I love that!
Bro I went to Disney and bought rock candy, and I broke one of my brackets on my braces. And that was after the orthodontist told me NOT TO BREAK a bracket because I was getting them off soon. Oops…
BTW, your skinny pig is PRECIOUS!! Could you let me know where I might adopt a skinny pig? I know you seem to be plugged in to different rescues and also Craig's list, I did see the thumbnail for Ollie's rescue, I'm going to watch it. I do know they eat alot more then furry pigs, and obviously poop and pee more, which, if I just get one sow, I'd bond her with my other girls. I have 2 huge enclosures, with 2 girls and 3 girls, so I'm sure they'd do well with one pair. He's a very beautiful piggy, absolutely gorgeous, and I know skinny pigs have a better temperament usually aren't as skittish as furry pigs. I guess it could happen, but so far most all skinnies I see are ALOT more tame then their furry brothers and sisters, lol!
They do. With owning small animals, it’s inevitable to run into health related issues. I actually have a vet appointment scheduled tomorrow for my two pigs 🙃
So testosterone is what gets females pregnant😂. You should have said sperm! And the sperm can only live so long and that’s at optimal tempts. The vets prolly know that the sperm left in the tubes isnt able to be used after 2 weeks 😅
I love watching you with your piggies and your the best piggy dad ever and your piggies love you
I'm not sure if it's just a precaution here in the UK but the vet advice for bonding a neutered male with females is to wait a minimum of 6 weeks, but ideally 8 weeks post surgery to be on the safe side.
My piggies love your mats they are always at then and our obsessed idk what I would do without them they love them so much 💛
Just wanted to say thank you for having music over the vacuum noise, vacuum sounds hurts my ears also your piggies are adorable! Great video!
I’m gonna miss experiencing the simple things such as cleaning my piggy’s cage. Last night he passed away from a tumor we didn’t even know was there. he was the best pig ever and imma miss him 💕
You can always adopt another guinea pig when you feel mentally ready and heal from a loss of your dear boy. Wishing you the best
@@anubisbutgay that’s what my parents have been telling me but bc I’m a high schooler and Guinea pigs have quite the lifespan, I’d be off to college in a couple of years and I don’t wanna be away from the piggy or make my parents become solely responsible for it :( thanks for the well wishes though, they mean a lot ❤️
Sorry for your loss ❤Hopefully when you are out of college you will be able to keep piggies! Best wishes ✨
@@BusyBaileysbead maybe! ❤️
I'm sorry 🥺❤️❤️

I was on Pinterest looking at Crochet/Knitting patterns when I came across Guinea Pig Sweaters and one of them had a Hairless one.
They are all so precious. They have the best pig dad in all of the world
My piggies are loving their new bunk bed!! And the bunnies and they have been chomping on the bamboo chews 😊
So happy to here your fur babies are enjoying our products! 💛
You're the best piggie dad ever!
Agree
I JUST finished cleaning my girls' cage and sat down to relax. Now I have the perfect video to watch! :)
I may be a little late but The pig room has rlly helped me with getting guinea pigs I won't be getting them for a few more weeks but I have their cage, fleece and toys!
Your piggies are so awesome!! Oh by the way Ollie is the sweetest piggy I have ever seen. "GUINEA PIGS RULE!"
You said he’s a bottomless pit and he looked at the camera and said “who, me?” 🤣
I love Ollie 🥰🥹 What a sweetheart!
Isn’t he the best! 🥰
The spot on his eye is so cute! Reminds me of the dog (can't remember his name) in the show Little Rascals
Cage cleaning videos are so satisfying!
Right?!! 😊
what are those pellet dishes i really want some
It's about a month for the sperm to die out, I'm glad you're taking precautions and not rushing!
The jumbo bunk beds are definitely my piggies favorites!!❤❤❤
Gee!! Austin your Baldwin piggie is so big and healthy! Since the last time I seen him!!
Love Ollie. He just reminds me of a sweet little puppy. Made my first pig room purchase and had to include the Ollie pop sticker. Excited for my pigs to get to try the Timothy sticks.
I've been taking all our plastic hides and flooring to the manual car wash and spraying them with water because its so much easier :)

I just got a guinea pig again there names are cookie and cocoa
So cute! I just got pigs too
I love your videos and your piggies!! You have taught me so much about taking care of pigs. Thank you!!
💛
Watching you clean there cage is amazing💛
For anyone with pigs that get poop and hay outside the cage use a bedsheet on the bottom half of the cage. It keeps mess in and pigs are less scared.
My shop vac sucks up the fleece so I have to shake the 💩 in a pile and vacuum that 😂😭
Love your videos so much you do so much for the piggies 💛💛
16:20 16:21 is the one guinea pig pregnant? They look so happy and am glad they have such good care!
Thank you so so mutch for taking care of these piggies and rescueing them i personally don't own any guinea pigs but i love watching your videos i do own two hamsters and a dog that i rescued myself :) thanks for these relaxing videos 🐾

Early!!!!!!!! Love this so far!!!! Your piggies are adorable!
Ugggg! I have a couple of loads of piggy laundry to do as well.
Awesome vlog. Adorable piggies ❤️
I love those books, I have the Christmas nativity one and the pride and prejudice one.

Good to know! Thank you so much for the recommendation 💛
What humidity level would you reccomend?
@@andrielisilien I keep it around 55%-60%. Been working perfectly for me for a few years now. A humidifier that's set to auto is best.
If your cleaner that is a from a concentrate is not mixed at the right dilution, and is over diluted, it’s going to not kill the proper amount of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores that is claims it would. Plus it needs to sit for a certain amount of time wet, it could need to sit for 10 mins wet.

I’m going to be waiting at least 4 weeks! I think that is a safe timeframe to bond with some females 😊
summer is starting and i don't want my pigs to get too hot, do you use any cooling mats or have any suggestions on ways to keep them cool?
Fortunately, your guinea pigs have a wonderful life.

😢
Like watching your videos and how you love and take care of your ginnies wondering why you cut off your wonderful looking long hair
Good luck with bonding
Great video
I love Ollie!!! He’s so cute!! My family thinks otherwise though.😑
What do you use for your cleaning solution?
How often do you give duramectin to your pigs
🥰🥰🥰
I think people who have Baldwin or skinny pigs have their favorite Pig and it is that Baldwin or skinny pig
U think u gonna visit Saskia at some point? ^^
I’d love to eventually 💛
Good video
I love the full cheeks glass water bottles! I currently have 3 and 2 more on the way!! 💖
I’m looking for tips on how to bathe mg piggies if any of you guys could share how you do it that would be great!
I have two videos on my channel designated to bathing guinea pigs 🧼 One as a spa day and one to treat fungal infections!
@@ThePigRoom thanks so much! You have made my piggies very happy! :)
Assigning all my pigs "can hang" or "can't hang" status from now on
😂

How doesn't your hoover suck up your liners?
I find that if you hold the nozzle at an angle, it only sucks up the poop and hay!

Do you find your piggies run into health issues? I’d like to get one but nervous of health issues.
They do. With owning small animals, it’s inevitable to run into health related issues. I actually have a vet appointment scheduled tomorrow for my two pigs 🙃
1 month ago I had a half albino guinea pig die now today my other guinea pig died
😢😢
You forget the difference between a baby sheep and an adult sheep?
Why is every thing in the pig room sold out😭😭😭😭😭
