Right on Cue
Yup!
i am morning my lose of my guinea pig that passed away weds night and im devistated and my emotions are everywhere and my body doesnt know what to do but get anxiety. been hard watching guinea pig vids without wanting to cry. but still loving the vid and your channel. im just having it rough.
Kyle Gawron i'm so sorry for your loss.
😢 sorry for for loss
So very sorry for your loss. 😪🙏💜🙏😪
That's heartbreaking.
Your guinea pig will always live on in your heart.
Sorry for your lose. God bless
Nate always steals the spotlight 😂😍
Thunk thunk thunk. He was chewing on the cage when I was editing so I guess he was asking for lap time and a pepper!
Looks great Scotty. Love seeing all the boys cuddled up
They're not using all the SPACE!!!
I just wanted to thank you so much for your channel!!! I bought 3 guinea pigs in 2018 from Petco and they said they were starter pets and just needed a small cage and hay. I had no idea what to do with them so I did some research and went through like 5 different cages, bedding, different types of food etc. I finally found your channel and bought a c&c cage, and different food and mirrored one of your cage set ups for my piggy. He's so happy now and I can't thank you enough! I really wish Petco would educate us more before we buy. I now know to adopt which I will be doing in the future. Thank you again for everything you do!!!! You really make a difference!!!
Awwh such handsome boys. My boys have that same owl fleece. Very nice Scotty.
Hooo does?
My piggies would fight over who owns the spot everytime their pen is being cleaned. Usually i put puppy pads at the bottom and then the shavings. It smells much less that way too. I also have the same setup, with their house on the sides and plenty of space in front.
I got 8 x 6 foot pen with open space for them to roam around.
Great idea!
That’s a great size! They are living like royalty
My boars always do the same! They let me scratch ears and nose when they're sitting on my lap but in the cage they run for the hills
I love that happy little chirp they make when they're exploring something new
Awwwwwwwww what a cute beginning!
Hi Scott!🤗🤗🤗 thank you for the update. With your boys. Love um.
You're welcome Bridget
Things look good I know anytime I rearrange my piggie house girls get so excited and popcorn around with joy your boys are so cute THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE GUINEA PIG WORLD 😊
I'm copying that exact idea for my little coffee and her soon to be friend(I'm getting her a friend after I set up the cage)
Thanks for this idea
$200 completely worth it
Just need to save up
Oh my goodness the begining part those cute faces bless them. What a beautiful colour the grey one is. I enjoy all your piggie videos even though I have a bun I love piggies.
Hay that’s not fair Nate should be able to drink all he needs ,please don’t yell at nat he does not understand he not in erupting me, l love ❤️ hearing them drink from the water bottles and on other videos I have seen and heard the Guinea pigs drinking from their water bottle. Please don’t take me the wrong way.you are a very special person that rescues the Guinea pigs that desperately needs your help,love and forever home and if I weren’t for you so many Guinea pigs would be suffering in pain and passing away before they could live the rest of their life’s, thank you so much, because for every Guinea pig that you save is one more pig that wouldn’t have to suffer in pain and pass away so keep up the great work that you do to take care of them.
Great! Today is cage clean day! Looks super Thanks Scotty
I thought I smelled something! :D
I just received my two male Peruvian piggies, Elvis and Jake. Your videos are beyond amazing! Thank you for guiding me through the life of piggies, I want them to have a happy healthy beautiful life. God bless you and the shelter for all you and they do..I subscribed.
My Sassy use to purr every time I put her back in the clean cage. So I agree, I think it's a happy purr.
6:29 Nate was the best water drinker. 😅🥰
Extremely cute piggies 😍
Now my guinea pigs want more guinea pig friends even though we just got one from the rescue 😂
Are those your guinea pigs in your profile picture? They're soo cute 🐾
@@nabzventures Thank you, and Yes! One is american and one is abyssinian.
@@teampuppies8136 aww soo precious ✨
If you have the time space and money for more, remember that boys do best in pairs.
Love!!! Awesome you got the 3 together! Love the Cage!
Don't try this at home!
Boys usually do better in pairs. Hopefully they'll stay friends.
Aww..the gray one is so cute..looks like a bunny!!! 💖💖
50,000 subscribers! Congratulations.
Congratulations scott , for hitting 50k subs! And this video was very helpful thank you
I have experimented with fleece bedding, puppy pads, loose bedding, newspaper and paper towels. All have pros and cons but after discovering dozens of newly hatched flies in the room that must have hatched from eggs laid in loose bedding a few days ago, I have sworn not to use loose bedding but only fleece from now on since the waste can be swept up and discarded. All it took was 1 fly. I had put new bedding just a few days ago. Fleece is best and wins out. Love this channel. Learned how to best care for piggies here and on Saskia's channel.
I subbed to you. Your vids are the best!!
Thanks Kayla!!
Yayyy!! I’ve needed this video! What cuties your piggies are
Thanks Jen! Perfect timing!
I love this channel. I’m a new owner and these videos are always so helpful. Big thanks from me and the girls.
Great setup😊 Took me a long time to figure out a clear path is best. My girls get the zoomies and the popcorns everytime I clean up their cage, so cute, makes me think that they are happy 😁 The boys looked so cute cuddled up, on the blanket 🥰
Omg!! Scotty I followed your advice and rearranged their cage and play area... I got zoomies this morning!!! I was so happy.. sebastian was prompting Valentino to chase him through the tunnels and around the back of the play area house all around!! This is the first time I've seen this in my boys..xoxoxo thank you💗💗💗
Life looks good when you're armed with guineapig knowledge. And Guineapigs 🤗
Side note: I just ordered a snak shak!! Thank you soooo much for this channel and your website. It has help me (but most importantly my pigs) I cannot thank you enough
OMG that is a huuuge piggie leap!!! the new cage look so heavenly!
You just gained yourself a new subscriber :D
Who Talia? ;)
Super cool cage set up!
I love love love your videos! Thank you for educating us🥰
Also, your personality is the best😂😍
Love from Greece and Sweden❤️🇬🇷 🇸🇪
You're welcome Mikaela!
No dislikes, keep it up Scotty!
Great job , Scotty
I was using fleece and found that was a lot of work, so then I change to pine which was good but created a lot of waste and filled my garbage, so now I use bath mats that dry fast and keep their little feet dry
CONGRATS ON 50,000 SUBS
I feel blessed that my boys let me pet them in the cage. Clay has learned to beg for chin strokes, usually when I’m cleaning. Or just in the room.
They have a place to bed for pets and another place to beg for treats.
I just got my 2 piggies last week and I have a 2x4 c&c cage. The first time I saw the zoomies after a few days of them being shy I was like "you guys on crack?" Lol.
I dont know if anyone has suggested it but I have been using mattress pads as the absorbent layer for our fleece. Its easy to cut and you can find them at second hand stores pretty often for just a few dollars so its reasonable and recycling :)
Can they be washed in the machine ok?
@@marigold9296 I haven't had any problems, as long as you don't overload the machines
Just to confirm- I'm talking about the quilted looking cloth mattress pads that go on like a fitted sheet would, not the foam ones
Great setup Scotty, I love it they look so happy 🥰🥰🥰
OMG Nate cracks me up😂🤪🐹love it! Hi Scotty
Great ideas and setup! Love those sweet Buddha boys 💙💙💙
I've been using fleece in the winter but I am considering using the aspen pine shavings because washing so much is exhausting sometimes. I am also extending my cage around Thanksgiving because I found a brand new box of grids for 13.00 at the Goodwill.
Is it a mix of wood? Remember Aspen and pine are trees. They are different types of wood. Both are safe if the pine is kiln dried. Aspin is not as soft but it smells very good.
This is so helpful!! My piggies’ cage is so big anyway 😂 but maximizing the space is still AWESOME!
It looks realy cute with al the houses and colorful tunnels. Looking at this I think mine need more houses 😯
The cage set up looks really good Scotty so spacious and those piggies are so cute
Great set up. I like to see what evy one else does. I like changing things up for my 3 boys also. 👍
My boys hate change. It really upsets them .
Even if I move a tunnel 2"!
They look SO Precious! I absolutely love the purple space house, it's my next purchase! I have 2 teal and a rainbow one, purple next. Nate never fails to get on camera with his noisy drinking! I love the setup, and the bowls too! Mike is my favorite boy, I'm SO glad he's O.k., he gave a scare a few months ago with his breathing issue, I felt so bad for you, but somebody upstairs likes you, Scotty, lol! What handsome boys they are, Dice is such a beautiful color!
Also they hate most food bowls I tried EVERYTHING I had to use corner litter trays zip tied to the C&C cage. 🤦🏼♀️ they kept flipping and spilling food everywhere and being wasteful. Im just glad the littler trays worked 😌 🙏
Early! Can't wait to get my future piggies :)

NICE VIDEO!! bdw congrats on 50 k
Halfway to 100k!!!!! Let’s go Scotty
I swear, Nate is my pig Vanny's brother. They're the same colors, and they both INTERRUPT PEOPLE WITH THE WATER BOTTLE!
I swear, Kaylee's a saint for putting up with Van Van's crap XD She's a strange little piggy
Love the set up. Looks good.
im dying why are they so smol and cute and 😡🤏
You are the coolest person I have ever seen
I like the set up :)
Reminds me a little bit of how I do things
I find mainly baby Piggies do zoomies and as they get older they tend to not do zoomies anymore
They love it!
Yes you have such cute guinea pigs ❤️
Dice Mike Papa are so cute together
Scotty thanks so much for sharing all the valuable info for guinea pig owners!!
Haha at the beginning it sounds like saskias voice for me. And o thought huh? Is saskia visiting your Piggies? 😂
Congratulations on 50k 😊
Yeah i'm definitely going to try this i have two female guinea pigs in a 2x5 but its still not enough room. Thanks for a great video! (:
Just subscribed to your channel. Love the boys already. ❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lol! Your "Hello good boys!" activated my Google home device and it asked me if I wanted to see cat videos? Nope. I'm watching piggies!!
Aw love those boys. Hey Scotty you should do some Christmas tees xx
Hello!!!! I love ur videos ❤️
Thanks Jam!
Looks wheeking awesome Scott! Great job! 👍
Not hating, love your videos Scott, but that's a small setup for three boys right?
Thats what I said. And thats why I'm MAXIMIZING it. But honestly they spend 99% of their time under the tunnel and in the houses. These are not active boys like Pippy and Gari. But if they need more space, I'll work it out.
Yes I thought 3 males together wasn't normally a good idea unless you had loads of space 🤔
@@ScottysAnimals Makes sense, I know you always have their best interests at heart.
I heard that pine wasnt good for em to have... I use a soft wood like aspen in the corner where they go pee then thruout the whole cage I use soft paper bedding for em. So I only. Use the wood for where they go potty all the time... The guineas are adorable... ☺
Pine is ok as long as it's kiln dried, which removes the toxic pine oils.
My girls do their zoomies at 5am, I wish they would do it later on because I love watching them do their laps, it’s so cute
Can’t wait to watch this. I need to make more creative use of my rodent room space.
They all have appropriate sized enclosures but the room is super squashed.
Nate is such a diva! LOL.😅😂🤣
Great ideas Scott!
Thank you for this video, now I have a lot of ideas of a better setup😀
Looks like approved! TFS!
Cute!
:)
Hey Scotty! I need some advice or tips for my cleaning routine! It’s quite hard to find the poo in the pine shavings? Any tips
Can you please put the website that you bought your 2x4 guinea pig cage on because I want the one you have I have 3 guinea pigs and I need to bring them indoors and I need some 2x4 cages please love your videos keep making more thanks 👍❤️
Squiggy will do zoomies when I clean out his cage and things and Lenny it so cute to watch got me laughing
I always like the video the second it starts 😂
Great video 😀👏🏼🐹♥️
Putting the water bottle on the outside of the cage will give them more space. It may also save on an eye injury from them running into it. just a thought.
That is such a great use of space. How many piggies do you have in that room? I love your vids. By the way, you are seriously fine and wonderful. Such a great heart. Beautiful on the inside, sexy on the outside. Thx for sharing your knowledge.
Hey Scotty!
Hi Olivia ♡
@@ScottysAnimals omg thank you for replying I’m a huge fan!
In the beginning of the video, it seems like Dice is sitting with his mouth open for no reason, and that made me worried about teeth problems... Maybe you should get that checked out. Great video, btw :)
So cute video helpful
Do you have pigs that can get over the cage? I think my pig could so is there a solution? I’m think maybe adding another wire on top? Would that work?
Is the C&C cage you made bigger than the Midwest or the same? I’m deciding to make my own or get the Midwest.
Hi scotty I was wondering what the best way was to store your Timothy hay
omg they're super adorable !!!
Scotty looks very cool! Can you tell me where I could go to get the plastic cardboard white liner ?
It's corflute/coroplast.
Nate is just like " I'm just thirsty ok?"
I always have a water bottle per a piggie. I once read a story on Facebook that a lady with a mouse found her buddy wasn't alive. The bottle was not working.
I know piggies bite and pull... But I have ocd so I can't get that out of my head. Even nice and eat enclosures have 3 to 5 bottles per cage. We sometimes throw away water but it's just one of those things. They also only drink purified water with no chemicals in it. We can drink the tap water, but their little bodies cannot handle those chemicals.
I'm so glad your piggies run from you too! I've hand fed for months and none of them will let me pet them in the cage. 😂
