you really shouldn't keep your guinea pig on its own, they can get very lonely. my advice would be to get fuzzy a friend 😉
We have tried and it didn't work out, fuzzy likes to be alone hahaah
+Ashley Steph more videos with FUZZY!!! Please
Ashley Steph oh ok then haha ☺
Well some Guinea pigs are better off on there own. If they have lived by themselves for a long time it is very hard to introduce another piggy and could result in them fighting
+Ashley Steph If you have a rescue or shelter near by, they can be SO helpful for matching up personalities. I have found for my lone males that spayed females are the way to go. Males with males can be very territorial but was a totally amazing experience letting them meet a spayed female, the bonds worked wonderful! Males can be with males, sometimes just take a lot of trial with different personalities :)
Fuzzy is very cute and glad to see he has a lovely sized cage and happy home.
You should really get your Guinea pig a friend, it seems lonely
+Colourful Mash she said that fuzzy doesn't like to be alone
+Pink8Blackitty AHEM, she said fuzzy DOES like to be alone you dumb worm head
+Internet that would be a great idea, but a Fuzzy is a boy. And the boy Guinea pigs tend to fight
+Pastel Roses and if it was a girl they would make babies whoops
+Pastel Roses true
That orange carrier is adorable, where did you find it??
They have those at Petco and pet smart
What’s the name called ?!?
it’s too small for a guinea pig unless it’s a baby so i would recommend a bigger one.
that was good and all but you didn't spray the cage and clean the bottom out. if the pee went through the newspaper which I'm sure it did then it's on the bottom and needs to be cleaned. just a tip.
you shouldn't keep your guinea pig a;one.They are social animals .Please do get another one for his companionship.
Not all guinea pigs is social, mine like to be alone and he will abuse any other guinea pigs
bitch you know nothing about them then they may like to be alone stupid bitch
Mikey Peterson he/she isn't stupid. Just suggesting. bc most guinea pigs r social, stupid. everyone knows that lmao .
She said she tried and it didn’t work out
Blindmag8 I highly doubt that you attempted to socialize you're guinea pig with more than 1 other guinea pig. We can't understand what their saying. For all we know, them begging us for a companion, we would take as them not asking for one. They get depressed and lonely. Although they may "seem" happy, often times they are very lonely.
Ive also trained my two piggies to go into their carrier like that. Makes things 1000 times easier. An they practically learned it all on their own. Such smart girls
Your guinea pig should probably have a partner for its happiness
She said she tried and it didn’t work out
Yes
I'm a volunteer at the Los Angeles Guinea pig rescue. A great alternative to very expensive care fresh paper bedding is kiln dried pine shavings. Contrary to what some people think kiln dried pine shavings are fine for their fragile respiratory systems. The bedding is very soft and you can mix it in with paper bedding like care fresh and it will make your piggies smell good. Aspen wood bedding is also acceptable however it is not very soft and very expensive. Cedar chips should never be used because they have oils That are not good for the Guinea pig to breathe in. I also appreciate the fact that you have your piggies in a wonderful C &C cage. Thank you for this video.
You're on the right track, but I have a few tips: 1: Maybe consider getting a piggie friend for him, also a male. 2: add another grid onto the length of the cage so it is a 2 by 4, not a 2 by 3. 3: Switch him to Oxbow adult guinea pig food. 4: once you get him a friend, give them each 1/8 cup food a day, until then, give him 1/8 cup a day. You are doing OK though!
Aw, it's so great to see that you've done your research regarding caring for Fuzzy! He has a great sized cage for one piggy and looks like he has a good diet too!
She took very good care of him. He had a good life
+Abby Payne Did he die?
The cage is way too small.
Nice job! You totally nailed his cage size and set up!!! 👍👍💛🐹
It's so cute when he jumped into the carrier!!!! YOUR PIGGIE IS SO CUTE!!! I think my heart melted.....
What cage do you use? I have two guinea pigs and I wants bigger cage for them because after I've done some research I have found my cage is too small so I would like to know if your cage would be big enough for two guinea pigs and if not what cage you would suggest me to buy
I recently got a ball for my pig, however i only used it once or twice, but i learned that its very bad for their spine, so i was wondering where you got that mini cage that you put your guinea pig in?
This is so helpful thank you VERRYYYY much
How often do you clean your cage ?
If I were you I would make or purchase fleece liners or use fleece plain and just fold or cut it to size, they have so many cool patterns and cute designs! I use mainstays fleece from Walmart, it becomes an addiction haha! it does take a bit more maintnence because I would recommend sweeping up nd titying every other day, but you just after a week shake it of and wash it and its as good as new! it looks s pretty and is super cozy on their little feet hehe! I like to have a few to switch it up they are only 3 dollars a fleece! just sweep up the poos every other day, he will love you! great video by the way :)
+RKpets that was my thoughts aswell haha! ;)
This is an AMAZING video! I'm getting two new Guinea pigs today, and this video was so helpful!!😨😨😍😂 Ilysm😘
I have a guinea pig and I was wondering if you could tell me where to get the little orange house that you took the guinea pig out in and where to find that special bedding that helps with odor? If anyone knows can you please tell me? Thanks!
Can u do DIY decorations for your Guinea Pig's cage?
+Lacey Fuller definitely
Amazon boxes with all 4 sides cut out are great hideys!!
Would love to know where you got all cage and all of your guinea cage wear ...
Hey Steph! I was wondering how long does it take to clean Fuzzy's cage?
your piggy looks so happy. nice cage!♡
cutie pie. It's probably depressed without a companion.
DezzytheGpig yes it is most likely depressed
How did you make your cage and what materials de you use
One does not get "a" guinea pigs.
+Khloe Denny I rescued piggies and kept multiple males together for years with no fights ever. Each time a new one came to me, I had to work them into one of my herds and was always able to do it fairly quickly, often in only a day or two. You just have to monitor the introductions in a neutral space (a bathtub with a towel and some fresh greens/hay put down works well), just as you do with rabbits, but I never had any pigs fight after the introduction process. I did have a couple of boys who would get annoyed when the others would stand too close to them and give a "karate kick" to push them away, but never a single fight.
Guinea pigs live in herds in the wild - they're not like lions, where a single male oversees a harem of females - so male piggies do really well with other males and work out their own hierarchy fairly easily, often just by using body language and vocalizations. But they do need to see new pigs as part of the herd first. That's why introductions are important, but in my experience it goes really quickly. I wish introducing rabbits to each other was so easy! But with patience, most rabbits are able to get along, too. It just sometimes takes a while.
Khloe Denny actually that's rare, males together rarely fight, I found that out, and that's why we are getting mine a pal, because he can't have a female, and he can't get fixed, so males apparently don't fight, my friend has 3 males, and they have never fought
Khloe Denny
as a person with two *MALE* guinea pigs, i can confirm that they don’t “foght” to the point of needing to go to the vet. yes, they butt heads and will get annoyed but they don’t attack each other.
also, you need to have at least two guinea pigs.
I'm a volunteer at the Los Angeles Guinea pig rescue and I specialize in bonding boys. Guinea pigs should never live alone. It is very difficult to bond Guinea pigs when you do not have many to choose from because the chances of boys bonding are about 10 to 25%. But at the rescue we have many many Guinea pigs and we are able to successfully bond boys. I personally have 3 pairs of bonded boys. It is important for Guinea pigs to have a cage mate and you should never give up on them. If you really want to learn how to take care of Guinea pigs follow the Los Angeles Guinea pig rescue TH-cam channel and we have Instagram and Facebook also. And I personally will be creating a bunch of Guinea pig care videos that I can point potential adopters to.
I have 4 male guinea pigs living together happily, and then another pair of males. However, i do have one single male piggy because he was causing fights! So it all depends on the guinea pig
how often do you clean it's cage? my piggies is really messy too. I got her today but want to train her to use a litter box. there's so much poop already! lol
Where did you find the little small cage that you put fuzzy in while cleaning the cage?
where did you get that thing that hung on the wall with hay in it and for how much
What kind of cage is that? I have a small cage and want to give him some more room for playing
awww buzzy is sooooooo cute!!! PLeeeeease do more videos with him!! That really helped me as i'm thinking of getting a guinea pig!!!
Thanks for the video! This helped me so much!
I was thinking of getting a guinea pig so this video really helped thanks and you could like decorate his cage like do a video on it that would be cool.
I just want to say your really pretty as well!!!
**Ik u made this comment 4 years ago**
Please get at least 2 guine pigs because they are social animals and they last longer in groups
You should use fleece it's easier to clean and makes the cage look nice. Also it's cheaper
do you just put it in the washing machine?
Kk 21 I do like fleece but the bedding I use is half the cost of a fleece blanket and it lasts me 1-3 months 🙂
Yep! But don't use fabric softener or bleach. Also, use the coldest setting.
Milky Way & Gismo i don't know what country you live in but in walmart they sell you a yard of plain fleece for about $3 USD. It is probably cheaper to buy fleece in a yard rather than buying an actual blanket...just fyi :)
IcyClaw yes but make sure to make a cage liner or put a towel or something absorbing underneath the fleece also make sure to wash it a couple times so it will wick (if you don't know have wicking is then look up skinnypigs1 fleece she has videos about it)
I have a Guinea pig too! But how long does it take you? And do u like it? Btw ilysm😝💖💖💖
Hello. Where did you get the carrier and what size is the c&c cage? Also, where did you get the coroplast because I like how it's a different color? What are the dimensions of the coroplast? How high should I score on each side of the coroplast? 😊 you for posting this video. I have been forcefully removing my piggy to clean his cage. So, now I'm being corrected by your video and I don't mind learning new things. 😅
That was such a great video. I always find it hard to clean my cage.
I’m thinking about getting one I have a pretty sensitive sence of smell do they smell bad or no?
Yes they do smell bad
This helped a lot! I’ve been cleaning my piggies cage with a glove and a bag so far... :T but this helped a lot! Also, you should really get a friend for your guinea pig, just make sure they’re both spayed/nuetered, I know some people say it’s okay to have one guinea pig but it’s really not. Guinea pigs live in herds in the wild and are very social, imagine never talking to another human being again! That’s how they feel without a partner. So please do consider getting another guinea pig, I’m sure your cute little piggie would be much happier.

Is it true that a Guinea pig can die if it's very lonely because I want a Guinea pig but I feel like it is going to be hard with two
I know this video is old but please please where did you get that little cage to pick up your guinea pig in? It seemed like it was a temporary little hideout until you finished cleaning the cage. I have a guinea pig that's really skittish so knowing where you got it from would be really helpful. :) xoxo
I loveeed this because I have a guinea pig too😜🙌🏼 btw I just subscribed💗💗💗
why when you take out the newspaper you don't wash the bottom with water ( warm ) or wipes because it gets rid of the bacteria at the bottom?
Stationary girl Exactly what I was thinking,I use Clorox wipes and dry it out with a hair dryer,I don't mind it,its kinda fun to me.
Thanks for the amazing video!
How often do you clean the cage? Do you do this daily?
Once a week usually
I think this video is really unique and cool!
OMG please answer!!!! What do you do when your at your friends house and your not with it How do you feed it
Sorry this is late but.., if your leaving for 1-3 days just leave s/he with LOTS of food hay and water (especially hay). If your leaving longer than that have someone come over once a day to take care of her/him
how do u do your hair?
What song was that you played during the video?
Where did u get your Guinea pig at oh and ilysm
Where did u get ur Cage
Where did you get that little pet carrier?
Maybe you should get another guinea pig ?
How many times a week do you clean it
Girl I have 3 female piggies and they're a handful but I will try the newspapers since I use fleece I hate that it leaves stuff still so going to try it thanks.
how often do you need to clean it?
A lot of people clean their cage once a week, I do too. I definitely recommend it.
That's horrible that the Guinea pig is by itself. It can cause depression. Guinea pigs usually live in groups of 2-17 my advice is get another one. But introduce them slowly. And have an extra cage in case fighting accures. It most likely will to see who the more dominate piggy is.
And when you get another pig for him. You need to have 2 of everything. So there is a limitation on fighting. And you might wanna make the cage a little bigger. And I recommend fleece instead of bedding. But that's just what some people prefer. Other than that it seems like you take great care of him. ;)
She said they tried it and it didn't work. She said Fuzzy likes to be alone.
Some pigs like to be alone. My piggy is alone because at the shelter she very seriously injured a Guinea, and hurt a few others. I'm not going to put more of them at risk just because the Internet says to.
Yup!!! www.zmescience.com/other/feature-post/guinea-pig-switzerland/
alyssasonny101. Really? I never knew that she speaks guinea pig and the guinea pig told her that "it likes to be alone"
Hello! my guinea pig is named fuzzy too! and he is also a very messy pig lol. this video helped a lot
How often do u do this
Nice vid! Fuzzy is so cute
Where’s the cage website I need one
Thx you sooooo much it works sooo good
I low key love ur voice
Is that a 2 by 4 cage
Instead of newspaper and bedding use fleece and newspaper. Not only does it look nicer, but it will also cut your cage cleaning time in half! With fleece you can scoop the poo and other debris into the center of the fleece then you pick up the corners and dump it into the trash. also after you shake the fleece outside you can wash it and it be as good as new!
Nice video and very tame piggie, but as I saw the other comments, you do need 2 pigs, they are herd animals. Also, you need to spray a vinegar and water solution or animal safe spray cleaner to wipe the base of the cage before putting down fresh bedding. Very pretty bedding, but I know it gets costly, it is very good for their feet though, but I am sure you must have heard about fleece. Needs a lot of spot cleaning, but it works well if you purchase cage liners with absorbent material in between. This is an old video Inow but in case you see this comment, I hope your piggie is still happy and healthy and has a friend.
.
Why is he so well behaved and my guinea pig isn’t? I have been so patient and kind and moved around it slowly to not scare but he is always scared of me :(
Sadly, Guinea pigs are naturally like that. I have my Guinea for years and he still runs. Sometimes. You can't be to "loud." If you open his/her cage "forcefully" they'll run. Carefully open the door and slowly grab him/her.
Sometimes, letting them out and beside/ around you, will help them know whose the owner. Feed him/her snacks with your hands or fingers. Touch a snack and place it in front of them, doing these will get your Guinea to smell your scent and know that you're the caregiver.
Doing it just once, won't help just like that. So, do it almost daily.
@@Gamer_Gal_97 thank you for the tip!
Fuzzy is such a cutie!! You need to do moe videos with him 👌🏼💗😌
My guinea pig keeps peeing on my carpet idk how to fix this
Make more videos of fuzzy hes so cutee
Nijae Crazy get two
That sounded bad but you should😀
Great video!!!!
link to buy the cage please?
You have to build the cage like the other person said. Here is the website you can find how to; www.guineapigcages.com
But I actually think searching up how to make a c and c cage(which is what the cage is called) on wikihow is more helpful.
some c&c cages are pre-built you just have to search the internet for it
your guinea is so adorable
I needed this as my little girl has two pigs. Thumbs up
I'd love to see more videos with fuzzy!
