The beetroot fiasco was my favorite 😄 so funny how it rolled about while they tried to get a bite LOL
Haha that and the beans were the craziest! 😂
I had to wait till the grand old age of 57 before I became first time piggie mum. I'm currently off work with broken ribs, ankle and foot and binge watching your videos to cheer myself up. I laughed so much at this one that I've had to take extra painkillers for my poor ribs!!! Absolutely priceless! 🤣🤣🤣
The fiasco during this was hilarious! But it was the Beetroot that had me cracking up! 🤣
those are some happy little piggies.
They love the vegetables so much.
Pedro: goodies? Yay it's veggies
I did laugh a lot watching this, it's so funny watching them squabble over food! 😁 I'm glad they enjoyed trying new things. 😊
Yup haha, such greedy little things!
@@SqueakDreams It's how they keep up their chonkiness! ❤
Me too😂🤣😅😄😆😀😁🤗😊😍😘
The editing and sound effects in this video + piggies stealing each other's veggies made this video sooooo funny! 😂
My piggies and bunnies absolutely LOVE fennel especially when it has the leaves on it
My boys LOVE their strawberry tops I give them about twice a month
My guinea pigs love kale 😂
My boars love sweet parsnips, lovage, borage, watercress, parsley, cilantro, arugula, fennel TOPs, dill, carrots, banana slices, a whole unshucked ear of corn, apples, rose hips violet blossoms, nasturtium flowers, broccolini leaves, chinese celery with leaves, british cucumbers, melon slices, watermelon, apple slices, green beans, and carrots. The sweets like corn and apple slices are fed 1x a week. I have noticed that when my guinea pigs are fed a botanical hay mix instead of straight American timothy, they eschew lettuce (!)
I love how guinea pigs haul away veggies.
I love you so much can you do a daily routine in the next video with your day and your guinea pigs day ♥️
Thank you! We did a daily routine not too long ago but I will be vlogging over the Xmas break 😊
I enjoyed this video. I ran to my kitchen to give my boys parsnip as I wasn't aware they could have them. And they loved it
Mr. Pineapples likes sweet peppers, grape tomatoes, celery, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, blueberries, and lots of different greens (but not arugula). Carrots are his favorite, so I save those for special occasions, like nail trims. He's never had beet root or fennel, so I'll have to try them.
My piggies used to love fresh coriander..I'd mix it with unsharp grass..they would go mad because it was so much foraging and luxury..great vid.
Awh bless them what a yummy combo! 😀
Watching them eat the celery was so hilarious thank you x
I love how piggies fight for the same veg/treat! It doesnt matter how many pieces there are, they fight over the same one. I did take advise from you about clothesline enrichment! I hung up string and mini clips across the tip of their cage and it really got them reaching and foraging. Now if I dont have veggies on the string, Winnie will nip at the clothes pins and gets my attention for food. Im not sure if I have trained them or they me! LOL!
My boys LOVE cherry tomatoes, carrots and beetroot :-D
Squeak Dreams your piggies eat all types of veggies!! And your piggies are so nice and healthy!!
Anyone would think I never feed them! 😂
My piggie loves full cage clean day cuz I hide all his treats and veggies and some freeze dried banana and strawberry pieces in his hay, and he digs through it to find it all, and on regular days he just gets his treats in his bowl lol
Those cute lil tongues slurping. 😀🍉🥕🥬🍈
😋 :D
❤❤❤❤❤
My 2 boys love ❤ blueberries 🫐, nite time treat 😀
So cute. My piggies liked oranges, apples, strawberries, tomatoes. lettuce, celery, alfalfa, "horse treats" (grains mixed with molasses), just about anything they were offered. Did not like potatoes.
Oh, so fluffy and adorable.
Like watching a comic caper, hilarious 🤣. Didn't know they could eat parsnip.
Haha thank you, glad you enjoyed! 😊
I have never laughed so much as I did watching this video. My piggies are very fussy so it was great to see some new things I can try them with. Your videos are great by the way.
Thank you! 😃
And there baby’s i named of of them already one is tiny nibbles and the other is oreo.
OMGOODMESS bahahahah
🐹 I was ROARING with laughter all the way through. The piggy comments, the unintentional slapstick comedy … Pedro nearly falling off the ledge, the floating food, the multiple fights for possession.
Pure piggy perfection and absolute editing genius. And as ever, really informative! 🥰
Awh thank you so much so glad you enjoying! The editing certainly took long enough 😆 😀
I love your videos so much!!! 🥰 I'm from Germany and I have six Teddy and Rex guinea pigs. Your sweet piggies and you are a great inspiration. Thank you soooo much 🤩👍
Awh thank you that's lovely to hear! Teddy and rex piggies are such fuzzy bundles of cuteness 😃
gah i just love your babies so much 😂😂 the tomato and orange dribbles are my FAVORITE. my babies love the celery leaves, and go crazy for any carrots. they loveee crunchies! watermelon is a new favorite treat, once or twice a week. their hair gets so wet 😂 my boy loves fruit, where my girl isn’t too sure about it sometimes.
My piggies love parsnip as well!! Those baby carrots, especially the purple, as you said, they're good for them, and sometimes sweeter than the orange ones too! So nice, but a bit sad seeing Lyra and Pedro, they're just SO SWEET!! Congratulations on 1,000 subscribers, and beautiful Nacho!!
Thank you Susan! 🥰
So funny ☺ I like their subtitles 😁
Thank you hehe! :)
Lol they are so cute 😍
I’m getting my piggies next week! 2 boys. I got the 4x2 kavee cage! I can’t wait for them. 🥰
Yay good luck with them!
How exciting! And a great cage too! 😃
Lol the beet root 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Utter carnage!
Pedro is serious bout his foodz!
He totally is!!
Love all your videos but this is my new favorite!❤️
Oh no, not cantaloupe XD I'm shocked that your pigs didn't get addicted to it. Mine act like they're rabid around those melons. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've taken a hard bite from my guinea pigs, and 3/4 times it was when I was feeding cantaloupe! They love it so much that they go into a frenzy.
Aw they looked like they were having so much fun!
My vet advised me to feed very limited low calcium veggies, and avoid fruits all together, but I know my piggies would go wild like this if they had the chance 😂
So much fun to watch - I can tell you had a lot of fun making this as well 🥰
My three (Lemmy, Sully and Rocky) seem to be getting a bit bored of the Kale, Apple, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, and Cherry Tomato that is our standard mealtime - although I've started growing Mint which they ALL love - so thank you for giving us some different ideas.
This is such a lovely funny video, I just watched it again. ❤
Awh thank you! 😀
Great video your piggies are so cute
I thought my piggies were picky eaters because I would chop up their celery and they never ate it. After watching this video I just gave them the entire stem and they LOVED it!! 👍🏻❤️
What a riot! 😂 Our boys love melon of all types. I didn't know they could eat beetroot though, must give that a shot.
Haha glad you enjoyed! Yes the beetroot was extremely popular!! 😂
Awww they re so cute 💝💝💝😁
Thank you! :D
My Pepper doesnt care for celery except for the leafy top
So cute loved them squabbling over the beet root and beans laughed my bum off
Haha yay! 😄
This is so adorable!!I am thinking abiut getting a guinea pig and i have also been watching your guides
Foooooood 😀
Noms!
curious about the "spring greens" that are in the cabbage family. Is there another name?
I think they also get called collard greens though both probably describe a variety of the more loose-leaved cabbages :)
This was hilarious!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you! 😍
Mine love pepper of course and they really love fennel!
Lol omgsh have to try green beans and parsnip
Your piggies are adorable. Love watching them fighting over veggies.
this has made my day!
So glad to hear this!
Brilliant to see, hilariously funny. Unfortunately mine are not foodies and I've tried so many veggies and a few fruits. It's gimme grass, grass and more grass. They do now eat a little cucumber, romaine, celery, carrots and occasional cherry tomatoes, so will see if I can find the purple carrots.
Glad you enjoyed, I didn't expect them to be so adventurous haha! You can't beat a good bit of grass though! 😊
One of my guinea pigs (piggy) loves blueberries but my other (spud) refuses to eat them no matter how much I try (I don’t know spuds favourite fruit/ veg yet as we only got him 5 weeks ago today)
Also piggy refuses to eat anything red (peppers, tomatoes ect ) he just hates them
All 3 of my girls looooove carrots! They all really love romaine lettuce and any color of bell pepper (haven’t tried red yet because my 2 boars both hated it so I don’t want to waste the money on it again). The funny thing is one of them likes to eat just the stem of the parsley, but the other two love it so they pick up the leaves from her. My two little girls also like cucumbers, and my oldest girl doesn’t like them that much, but she eats them when she realizes she’s eaten everything else😅. I definitely intend to add some more foods to their diets, on occasion of course, and hopefully they enjoy all of the new foods.
Awh it sounds like they have a varied diet and you know their preferences well! 😊
@@SqueakDreams I like to take note of things like that, just so I know they are eating something that they both love and that contains necessary nutrients for them. I just got my younger 2 sows in October, and they are the funniest little girls! It is a Sheltie/Silkie and a Texel from a breeder near me, and they were born a week apart in September so they have always been together. I originally was only going to adopt one, but I could not bring myself to separate them, and they get along so well with my other sow who is over 2 years old now. I measured my new enclosure and it meets over the necessary requirements for 3 guinea pigs so I bought more hiding places and an extra hay rack and here we are! Things like food preferences and cuddle preferences just come with time, as I am sure you are well aware, and I do my research on different foods that I can feed them and how to portion it into their diet the correct way instead of just giving them a whole bundle of food they are not used to and upsetting their poor little bellies. I always look forward to your videos, thank you for sharing your guinea pigs and life with all of us😊!
That was really engaging! My pigs like beetroot a lot, as much as I am, it is delicious! All your babies are super cute, Pedro is a Star! 💗💗💗
Pedro's tongue is the cutest little thing! & your piggies have such great characters! I don't have piggies myself, but I enjoy watching yours.
Awh thank you I'm glad you enjoyed their greedy antics! 😆
Didn't know they could have oranges
Great video. I do by very many vegetables, but of what I do get, my male will eat green leaf and red leaf lettuce, romaine, cilantro, parsley, carrot, zucchini, and celery. My female will only eat the 3 lettuces, cilantro, cuccumber( male also), Neither would eat grape tomatoes nor bell peppers. They also like snow peas, apple, little piece of orange, and blueberries and banana.
Interesting how their food favourites differ so much, mine love tomatoes and bell peppers, and pretty much the only thing they don't like is zucchini 😊
That was hilarious, I kept cracking up. I loved seeing the tugs of war and Lyra helping Pedro clean up. Though I am sad about Lyra's glorious fur; poor baby!
Mine did actually nearly choke on celery before so...
Just what I needed while I’m holding one of my pigs for a soak because she got bumble foot ! Thank you so much, I really enjoy and look forward to your videos!
Awh thank you! Awh I remember soaking Twiggys feet haha, I hope your pigs feet improve quickly 😊🥰
Ooh no. My piggies had this 2 weeks ago.. he is on the up and up now after some Epsom salt soaks and coconut oil rub
Me too☺️
I love your videos... My piggies don't like celery but haven't tried beet root or other carrots.
Thank you Daisy 😀
Mines love celery they love cherry grape and the regular tomatoes and then from Walmart I give them the spring mix I give them grass cuz that's actually really good from my yard from Walmart I'll usually get a mix of fruits you give them bananas as treats so we barely get them so they've learned to get the most treats but they personally like celery tomato salad mix pellets hay grass apples bananas and that's pretty much it I mean they have other foods that they like but it's not coming to my mind right now so yeah and right now I'm holding one of my guinea pigs name bon bon all I'm watching this video
Sounds like they have a great varied diet! Hi Bon bon! 🥰
Absolutely funny and oh so cute. My favorite was the green bean chaos.
Thank you and yes it was all very out of hand 😂
Loved it Sarah!! Great new suggestions!!! Thanks for another amazing video....and entertaining!!🤣🤣💖💖💖💖🙋
Them trying to eat the beetroot was so funny. Made my day for sure
I laughed so hard at them all lining up on the bed!!
Haha they were so confused 😆
My piggies go absolutely crazy for tomato’s , it looked like your piggies where having a great time . 😄
Haha thanks! I love it when guinea pigs eat tomatoes, so cute and funny 😂
Such a funny video! Key takeaway.. Pedro loves all food 😅 It was cute to see your piggie's doing a green bean tug of war, just like my pigs ❤
I love this video! They are so silly the way they took their veg away from each other. I laughed hard and cried! ❤😅
Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed! 😄
So fun! I will definitely try these out with my piggies too. Thanks as always!
Love it… my pigs were not that impressed with purple carrots either! My herd absolutely love orange carrots, green beans and peppers the most. They dislike courgette and mint. Celeriac goes down well too 😀
Thank you and interesting to know their favs! Mine don't like courgette either but they did like the home grown mini yellow ones from the garden, they must have been sweeter 😀
SO cute! I try to record my herd trying new veggies and fruits too, we call it Fun Food Friday! ❤ Love it!
Thank you! Fun Food Friday sounds awesome! 😀
@@SqueakDreams Thank you! I fell out of the habit but planning to start again soon!
Anyone have any real specific meisurements on how much veggies to give them every day. They are about 6 weeks old. I give them one small slice of celery and a small 2cm strip if bell pepper
Love it. Its hilarious!
How fun! They must have enjoyed this so much! :)
What App do you buy the C&C cages
Omg this made me laugh so much, thanks for this video!!! Just wanted to say you should be careful with green beans. They are very high in oxalate and should never been given in combination with veggies that are high in calcium (oxalate in combination with calcium can cause bladderstones) 😉
So glad you enjoyed and thanks for the tip! 😊
how do you know which vegetables and fruits guinea pigs can have?
I generally just google it, but also websites like guinea lynx have some useful lists, including rankings for vitamin C and other nutrients. Ones to definitely avoid are potatoes, mushroom, bulbs (onion, garlic, leek) and tomato leaves/stems 😊
My piggies don't eat fruits yet
OMG the crazy veg fighting 🤣 So hilarious but also OMG so cuteeeee. Thank you for a great video. My piggies favourite are pears and banana, which of course they only get sometimes. In fact i cannot eat a banana in our lounge (where they are) because they go crazy.
Haha thank you! Ah I need to try pear! It's the same with banana here, they go wild for it!! 😅
Another *GREAT* video, love! You were right!! This video is full of giggles!!! I *LOVED* it!
Cookie & I were watching together, and he got extra excited when he heard your gang's squeak while they were eating! LOL!!!
I'm so excited to go to the food store with my list of "Piggie Safe Veggies" in hand!
(Cookie doesn't like Cherry Tomatoes at all! I don't think he likes rolling vegetables that much. It definitely made me laugh as he was chasing the tomato around the cage though!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂)
Also, that Clothes Line Toy is so precious! I'm gonna have to get one!!! *PLEASE* try to partner up with a company that sells guinea pig toys, so, if I buy it with your code you get commission! I would definitely buy from there to help support Pedro, Lyra, Roxy, & Phoebe!!!
*CANNOT WAIT* for the next video! See you then!!!

So happy to hear you enjoyed it Kelly! Bless little Cookie for wanting to squeak along 😍. I do have a referral code for Haybox in the description, it's not affiliate just something I got via my last order, will get you 10% off I think 😀. Thank you so much for your support! ❤🌻🤗
@@SqueakDreams I got Cookie all his new veggies today! Some based from your video. He is certainly enjoying them! Thanks for reminding us that we should try something new every now and then!!!

Hi! I'm a huge fan of your TH-cam channel! I got my two little piggies about a month ago and I've been trying to get them treats but everything in the pet stores I've been going to have nuts, seeds, potato starch, and ground rice in everything!!! I googled it and it said that they CAN NOT have all that cause it's bad for there digestive system... So I was wondering what you recommend me giving to my piggies for a treat... What treats do you get for your piggies???
Hey there, thank you, I'm so glad you like the channel and congrats on your new piggies! Buying treats for guinea pigs is always a minefield! Even some of the better brands still slip up so it's good to double check everything. I have some treats in my Amazon storefronts (links in descriptions), which I give my own piggies, including the Rosewood Naturals range. Avoid nuts and seeds (I have given treats with millet in though as this is a debatable one!) - I've had things with "corn" in which I'm not sure is as bad as corn starch! Or things like timothy hay cubes, natural forages and peaflakes are safe options :)
@@SqueakDreams thank you so much! I'm make sure to check that out!
Loved this video Sarah-thank you! My girls have some sprouts this week which they’re enjoying. I tried parsnips with them a while ago and nobody would touch them but might try them again! They like fennel, spring greens, celery and rainbow carrots. Haven’t tried melon or satsumas!
I have just bought the HayBox veggie washing line for mine for Christmas and can’t wait to try that out!
Have a lovely wheek! 😊👍x
I was pretty surprised when they went wild for more or less everything haha! Awh the washing line is so much fun 😀 You too! 😊 x
Guys when giving a guinea pig cabbage does it make them fart and is it suitable to give it to them
Some of this needs the Benny Hill theme song...
What are spring greens
I think they are also called collard greens 😊 like leafy cabbages with smooth leaves
My guinea pigs would like me to bury them with a pile of spinach 😂😃
Hi sarah which veggies have the best vit c source for em and how many and how often we could give to em 🤣
Hey there, the best veg by far for vitamin c is red pepper, this is okay to feed on a regular basis 😊
Hey there, the best veg by far for vitamin c is red pepper, this is okay to feed on a regular basis 😊
Hi Sarah, I'm a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos as we're preparing to get our very first pets (rescue piggies). Thank you for making all your videos, all so very informative and super helpful... We are probably going to end up with lots of your recommendations!
Am also trying to purchase from Haybox using your referral link, which does work and sends me through with a message that I'm getting 10% off. However, it doesn't actually take anything off the total when I'm checking out (I confirm it is over the minimum spend). Would you know if your referral is still working please, or do you have a code I can type in instead of the link? I did email Haybox support who don't know what the issue is but advised to check with you if it was still a valid one.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read. Much love to you and the piggies x
Hey there, thank you for your lovely comment! And congrats on getting piggies in the near future! Try this link for the referral code: loox.io/z/EJE4h-m53
Hopefully it should work for you :) x
@@SqueakDreams Thanks for replying Sarah. Had no joy for the longest time until I figured out it won't work if you choose a subscription option (just choose the one off purchase instead, it still works out cheaper). I have just completed my purchase using your link. Thanks again! xx
I’m getting my guinea pigs today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor Piggies I would have cut the veggies and fruit up for them so they don't fight
How is Lyra doing with her overian cysts?
They really didn't mind a bit of competition 😊 I will be doing an update but Lyra does seem to have Cushing's as the hair loss is no longer fitting with just cysts, and her ovaries are fairly normal feeling apparently. Her hair is growing back although I doubt it will return fully!
@@SqueakDreams Poor Lyra, hopefully she will just improve, she looks very active and happy though and is eating so she is not doing too bad
I need help! I'm a new guinea pig owner and I have two beautiful little girls. I found two more girls that need rescued. Can I introduce two more girls to my current pair? I love them and don't want to stress them or cause them to want to fight. Any ideas??
Responded on Etsy 😊
Hello! I got two guinea pigs from a bad owner. It's been months since i got them from the owner and they are still really scared of Me. I give them veggies and sometimes treats on my hand but i feel like it doesn't help. Plz give me advice
Hey, it can be difficult taming piggies if they haven't been socialised much but don't give in! I have a few videos on taming and bonding which will help, and lap time is also useful to do on a regular basis 😊 It is normal for younger piggies to be skittish and scared, as they get older they will calm down a bit 😊
