Ava E yeah and Minnie/Frieda 😭
I miss wilmy it was really hard for me her an sly vester were an amazing duo
Oh so sad
storytime: My parents got guinea pigs for my 10 year old sister over two years ago. They didn't do their research, didn't buy the right cages and refuse to take them to the vet because of the money issues they have (and because they are in a cult and believe that taking animals to the vet is a sin, but that's a whole another story). I'm a student, I live on my own and I have to see them weekly to do basic health checks and often cage cleaning. I saved money to take one of them to the vet (walking problems) behind my parents back and paid for a new cage for them since the one they have is waaay too small and occasionally have to buy them food since my parents don't have the money for it... I don't know I just needed to rant, because my parents don't see a problem and I feel like I have to take responsibility for them, because they didn't think their decision through. I just wish people would see that taking a pet is a big commitment and it requires money, knowledge, dedication and love. Sorry I just needed to rant, please take having guinea pigs seriously...
Exactly!!
Like I dont have to clean my guinea pig cage my little sister will just wake up and go like caN I cLeAn tHe pIggIeS caGe so then I would let her
@@ryleighjoseph8164 i wish my little brother would do that
@@ryleighjoseph8164 that's literally the cutest thing ever
That kinda happens to me but I’m the 10 year old.
So I have been dealing with loneliness and like I had no friends.
So I got a boy pig with a small cage it was not the smallest but neither the biggest.
He dies half a year later because he got old. (4,5 years)
After 3 months I got a hamster. He is now 1,5 years.
But he weren’t awake or that fun so I got piggies again.
They later died of sickness. But not at once so I got my pig Maya.
When the other pig died I got Ally. After 3 months I got Rosemary and again a few months Laura.
So I had 4 guinea pigs at once. Btw when I got Rosemary me and my dad build a cage for them cuz I weren’t happy bout the size.
The cage is 3 meters times 1,5 meter.
Turns out Maya was aggressive against Ally, Ally started to bleed 2 times when I finally separated them. Maya got to a nice boy who just lost a pig.
(The cage setup was A M A Z I N G)
After a year I still have the 3 piggies, the cage and even got 3 more hamsters! Yes I’ve done research. They are getting litter boxes trained so their cage is putted into 2. They’re foods are getting weighted and measured, unlimited farm hay and half hemp half fleece bedding. Lots of toys, hides and foods.
Ally is fully tame and can be petted in the cage and even lays down on me!!!
Omg the guinea pigs are too cute, I have a skinny pig she is my everything so this video helps to make sure she stays healthy.
A human can never replace a guinea pig as a partner.
I hate how a lot of people when they first see a rat skinny pig or mice the first thing they say is "Look at that ugly thing" when they all are awesome creatures and they deserve more respect
Me: Watches video
Guinea pig: starts scratching
Me: internal panic and prepare to convince my mom to drive the extra mile to a professional
That feeling never seems go goes away, lol
Jose Reyes Bonilla my guinea pig does that to
Yeah, that's right
OMG same... When I first got my piggies I was convinced one had an upper respiratory infection, but after going twice to the vet and doing some research, turns out he just had a dust allergy to all of the dust in the timothy hay.
Good idea
I know mine aren't sick because my vet always says they're in perfect shape but I couldn't help watching your precious pigs
My guinea pig died 3 years ago her name was Coco. She was a really pretty dark chocolate guinea pig with streaks of gold in her fur. One time she stopped eating, she started to loose all of her hair. Skipping to three months later, I went to bed that night and when i got up i looked around in her cage and she wasn’t there. So i asked my dad and hesaid that she was sitting on his lap when he heard her last breath i walked in my room and lied on my bed with water constantly running down my checks and all through my neck. i would do anything to see her again, to this day when ever i think her i start to tear up.
That is sad to hear 😭 my brown guinea pig also is named coco
My Guinea pig’s name is coco too!!
I'm sorry for your loss, I couldn't even deal with that. Prayers ❤️
@Julia Grabiec RIGHT?!! Disrespectful.
Im very sorry for you’re loss. My guinea pig died yesterday and I know its one of the hardest things to get over. Hopefully you feel better
I love how you use footage of the old piggy's
:(
Please help me my pig got very cold and he is getting better but he won’t walk please help me
I usually do wellness checks once a week when I clean their cage. Eyes, ears, nose, feetsies, tummy and coat. Keeps me informed. When my male had his neuter I checked his incision daily as I cleaned his cage. The vet was impressed that when it was then end of the healing period I caught some of the suture coming out lol.
Apple Blossom Your a amazing guinea pig owner :0

My guinea pig died this morning.
Rest in peace Milky 💕
I'm so sorry for your loss...
Rest In Peace :(
Well hello I’m one of the first people to watch this video you have been helping me with my piggy’s thank you 😊
I have a great vet, who gave me a discount when we had a case of mange-mites. (3 piggies) and they have always been able to help us if we need to split up the bill or wait for the 1st of the month to pay. Always talk to your vet about payment options :)
I just got 2 Guinea pigs!!!!! Pretzel and Pumpkin!!!! Ur videos have helped me research so much. Thank u so much🥰🥰🥰🥰
The piggy’s are so cute! I don’t even read the title when I see a new video. This month I almost had to give away my piggy’s!! Also, You have great content!!!!!
Yup, sometimes its too late with guinea pigs. With one of my first guinea pigs, Wally, we didn't realize he was sick, and one day his stomach flipped and it was too late and we had to put him down at only 5 years old. we learned from that though, and now our 9 guinea pigs are living a happy, healthy life. And Wallys twin brother, Blue, live a long happy healthy life and died peacefully in our arms at the age of 7 1/2 years old.
Tysm. My guinea pig died yesterday and I was confused on how he died. By watching this i found put he had an upper respiratory infection.. Now I can avoid another loss. Thank you for this information. Keep posting you’re videos are helpful.
This is the best eyebleach channel ever. Whenever I feel down I come back to look at these cuties ♥
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lumi in the thumbnail

Nice to see Wilma again 💙❤ still missing her xx

Extremely good information!!! I loved how you changed the tone of your voice in this video as it really conveyed/stress how truly important it is to take our little guinea pigs to the vets at any sign of sickness as they hide it so well!!! And OMG that was some cute footage of your gorgeous little furry potatoes!!! 💖🐹❤️👌👍💖

Hi!! I absolutely love your channel, it's so helpful! I just recently got a guinea pig for the first time. I've wanted one for 4 years now, and I'm so thankful! I wasn't even prepared for a guinea pig though, i bought a cage from the store thinking it was perfect but i did some research and watched a bunch of your videos and realized how amazing and helpful you are! I'm DIYing a piggy house exaclty like you did! My guinea pig is a month-ish old, and I'm planning on getting another piggy very soon. My guinea pig i have now is named Mochi, and im going to name my new guinea pig Mocha! (once i get her) I've only had Mochi for a week now and thanks to your videos and tips, she's already warmed up to me! I want to thank you so much for that. Mochi and i love your videos, keep up the amazing vids!
I’m sorry that I missed you’re last video! I loooove you and the piggies! I think I might get two guinea pigs! Because of you thank you!🎀🎀🎀🎀😂😂🐹🐹🐹💕💕❤️❤️💕❤️❤️❤️❤️💞❤️💞❤️❤️❤️💕💕💞💕💕💞💕💕💖💖💖💖❤️❤️✨❤️❤️
Illnesses can be so hard to spot really, I've lost two of the sweetest guinea pigs from mites. I had a herd of 3 girls and first it was my Peruvian Annabelle, then my abyssinian Blanche. Whats crazy though is that the only survivor was my ridged back runt Mia whos had 3 babies and her friends being twice the size of her. I still have her and she's still the toughest and sassiest piggy I own :3
I dont think they pass from mites, something else was probaly was going on.
Informative, and your piggies are so entertaining! It was nice to see video of Frieda again, I miss her.
These are great tips! I'm getting a new guinea pig soon to blend in with my trio of boys and I'm so excited!
I love this channel. You were the reason I even have Guinean pigs now!!🐹😘🥰😘
That is a very important topic and you explained it very excellent and with such a nice backgroundfootage! :)
Love seeing Little One again.
Hello, thanks for all your videos, always very helpful! I just wanted to add something for this one. As guinea pigs hide they illnesses first, it is often very late when they show some signs. So the best way to spot a problem early so that they can be treated quickly is the weekly weight check! Any sudden loss of weight or slow constant decrease means that a visit to you vet is required. I hope it helps others 🙂
I miss all the old members of the guinea pig gang. Your channel inspired me to get guine pigs, I names one of mine pebbles, because I loved that name.( I named the other one sprinkles). I love you channel so much. Thank you for the advice and videos. Wish you and all your furry babies well.❤🐹
me and my pigs love to watch you!
Second also your piggies are so cute
Thank you this helped alot!♡♡
Omg they are so cute. Thanks for this video. I really needed it. I just got a piggy. I am a subscriber for life. Thanks 😊
Thanks for making this video
My guinea pigs birthday was last week
Happy birthday your guinea pig!
Aweeome happy bday to em
Little Adventures, I appreciate how much you stress vet visits! It drives me insane when people tell me “it’s just a $35 rodent, it’s not worth it.”
I would definitely suggest pet insurance though! I have 5 piggies, and it’s only $7 per pig and it’s great coverage. :)
Frieda is a Rock Star and all your piggies are Precious .Great info for others....
very useful information! I always wanted guinea pigs one day! :)
We have five piggies. This video has helped me know how to keep them safe from illnesses!
Awesome video also(your guniea pigs are cute:)
Aww Freida looking like a little rockstar🥺❤️❤️🐹
wow! I have 2 pigs and I’ve never heard of some of these. Thank you and I will keep a close eye on my piggies! 👁
Such an important message. Time is of the essence when pigs are unwell, speak with you vet right away.
This was so helpful! Now I know ! The thumbnail is so cute tho !
I love your videos ♥️
Thank You!! Great Video
RIP Frieda
Frieda died?
OKAY IM NEW TO THIS SO CAN YOU TEACH ME WICH PIG IS WICH
Ryleigh Joseph you mean “which”
I had to get my guinea pig, Fred, put down last Thursday. He had his teeth growing through his lower jaw, which is very treatable with antibiotics, but because he obviously wasn't eating well, even with pain meds, and syringe feeding his body hasn't happy with it, causing his digestive system to stop, so we were given meds for that too, which he was barely responding to. He stayed at the vet for a day, and they found blood in his urine, and it turned out his pH levels had gone up a little tiny bit. Not the end of the world, but a few days later he hadn't made progress, so we gave them another urine sample, and his pH levels were way too high (pH is basically how much acid there is in your blood (correct me if I'm wrong, English is not my first language)). So we told to make sure he had soft food and hay in his cage of he wanted it, to give him twice as many pain meds as before, and water so he wouldn't die of dehydration. He was a fighter and held on for another 5 days. No animal should suffer so we went with the last option possible. I miss him so much, but he's not in pain anymore, which is the most important part.
His herd is a little shaken up, but they'll be Okay. His brother has already taken over and his taking good care of the others :')
sorry for your loss :(
thanks so much and your piggys are so cute
Thank u this was so in time and useful cuz my guinea pig srated having red spots on her feets😢🤷🏻♂️
Thank you very helpful! :-)
So Cute Cute Guinea pigs & very useful topics ...👍👍👌👌
My guineapig just passed away yesterday 😭💕
This is so helpfull!!
The thumbnail is soo cuteee!!
Malocclusion is a very common illness. Most people think it’s urine under their chin when it’s actually drool.
This helped so much
Super video👌👍
I enjoy watching your videos
Lumi looks so cute on the thumbnail
My typical vet visits cost $60, this includes a basic check up and nail trim. The last one cost around $93 because of the antibiotics. And my vet is one of the cheaper ones in my area!
Were do you go because in my area none of my vets do guinea pigs only cats and dogs
I feel you dude/dudette the cost of ours would be $53 for a visit. And probably near $100 for medicine.
My vet is 98 for a checkup and it drives me crazy
Our baby Cali passed from sickness. Coughing and sneezing and just sadness. She passed in my stepdads arms. It was quick and after she took her medicine. Her sister knew it was coming as she got really upset after we took Cali out to give her medicine. When she passed we took a moment to say a prayer and cry, then we brought in gwinie to say goodbye to her sister and we put Cali in a box with the hat she was in when she passed and the next day we took her to our new house and buried her in the backyard. I know where she is currently and she’s popcorning free on the rainbow bridge. It’s bringing tears to my eyes thinking about her but I know she’s much happier now. I hope she had a good life with us in the little bit of time she was with us. I miss her.
I have 6 so this helps alot thank youuuuuuu ♥️♥️♥️
When my Guinea pigs eat carrots there fall lots of small bites out of there mouth, is that a problem?
I think i'm gonna take him to the wet, but just wanted to ask
My guniea pigs work with a ‘all for one and one for all’ mentality. I started feeding my guniea pigs a lot more hay after watching this. I also started giving my guniea pigs health checks I’m so glad we did because we picked up a potential illness.
Lumi is so cute! She always looks confused lol
That was so funny when Sylvester said what. Yes they do depend on you for all their needs.
Thank you
my guinea pig had a uri, we didnt have money to take her to the vet but eventually we did but during that time i tried taking care of her as best as possible and make her comfortable. She got antibiotics and shes doing perfect now so yay
i’m getting my guineas back this month hopefully! we just got their cage in the mail! we got them at petco (big mistake) and they got it from the breeder (aka rodent mills) and they have been gone since jan.1st :(
i miss them so much!!! but we are getting them back soon!! :)
I am a simple human
I see Lumi...
I click.
Edit: All of them are still also very cute
They are so cute❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is so cute especially the brown. And black and white one
I really loved all the information, it was great. It was also kind of scary. That's why I have an emergency kit, always stocked with infant gas drops, critical care powder, different size syringes, antibiotic eye drops, eye lubrication gel, q tips, cotton balls, coconut oil, piggy safe shampoos, hair brushes, animal scissors, you name it! I also always interact with my piggies, so I can see how they're acting, walking, how their eyes look, I check over their furry potatoe bodies every few days, because I don't ever want to wake up to a piggy who's at death's door! So far, so good!
Thanks
Awwww🥺💕💕
My family has spent close to $2000 USD on our Karmello. I am happy to say he is still with us and I don't regret anything. Family is family, simple, money is printed everyday.
Earlyyyy❤️❤️❤️
I love guinea pigs they are the best
I love your channel thanks for liking 😍😍
1 of my guinea pigs recently had mites and after researching a bit on mites, I realized why. Their cage is too small! My parents bought everything for me (and I love them for that), but they argued on the cage. So I planned on just buying the bigger cage after they bought the smaller one. Which I just did today! I’m finally getting my guinea pigs a bigger cage, and I’m so excited! (Btw my guinea pig with mites is doing amazing now! And is all better!)
One of my babies died today, he was having many seizures (chasing tail-like, no ear issues, I didn’t think much of it at the time) and was extremely underweight, he had to be put down because when we took him to an emergency vet he couldn’t move and his breathing was extremely slow and light heartbeats.
If only my dad listened to me that week before.
Parsley blocks or bowls, grain bars (made for guinea pigs) and edible wooden toys are all great for their teeth that help stop them growing too much
My beautiful sow hazel sadly passed away on Sunday after a happy life with her sister snickers and baby boy, peanut. Fly high baby girl, your gorgeous personality lives on in peanut ❤️
