NOTE: Guinea Pigs may not be able to be litter trained 100%. They still may poop and pee throughout the cage. They tend to do that in places they eat and hide. So by providing a litter box under a hay rack will definitely encourage them to go there. Placing potty pads under hideaways will prevent you from having to change the cage fleece as often.

How I train mine is by putting their poop into the litter box. Every time they poop, I pick up it up and put it in the litter box. After doing it for some time, they’ll eventually find out that the spot with all their poop is where they should poop. Works great and only took mine about 3days to get the hang of it
6,999,999 Views that’s what I was thinking about doing. Now that you said it works okay for you, I’m gonna try for a couple weeks and see if they catch on (they’re still young so hopefully it’s easier to train them)
does it work?
@@elizabordeaux897 worked for me, in combination with her ideas
bouncing pickle I’m gonna try that!
I’m going to try that and I hope it works
when her guinea pigs were squeaking mine heard and went ballistic
Mine too 😂
Lols! I don’t have any yet, I’m watching for the ones I’m about to get!
mine too they love squeaking lol
omggggg same
Same!
My Guinea pigs sleep in their litter tray 😂
Sis you are a queen. Worked so good. Never have been more grateful for a video before.
my guinea pig is so fat that when i put hay in the bucket he doesn't even leave the bucket
WHY AM I LAUGHING 😭😭
I’m sorry but that’s a bad guinea pig owner if it is over weight it sounds bad but u gotta search up how to make your pig loose weight and give him healthier stuff not to be rude x
I have a fat one as well and she has a very great diet
@@xaviahemo8489 some piggies are just larger than others! I have two females that are the same age and one of them is a lot bigger than the other. they have a very good diet (they both have the same diet aswell) and are both a perfectly healthy weight one of them is just larger
@@jasminerodgers9553 One???
This is by far one of the most helpful channels I've been able to find!! I had a guinea pig when i was much younger but I wasn't quite old enough at all to understand and learn what kind of care they actually needed so I made lots of mistakes like housing the poor guy in a store bought cage by himself and having a very unhealthy diet but I really really enjoyed having a guinea pig so now that I'm older and have been able to convince my parents to allow me to have a pair of guinea pigs with them knowing all that goes into them I have been trying to do all the research I can to make sure that I will be educated on how to fully accommodate them in the best way and your channel is a very informative! All of your videos are so great and helpful!
Do Guinea pigs squeak less if they have another guinea pig with them? Instead of just on Guinea pig by himself?
I agree, this is very helpful. I'm looking for a friendly pet that doesn't bite alot due to having small children around but, I want it to be something I don't mind raising. It's either going to be guinea pigs or rats most likely. I'm aiming for guinea pigs because they seem to be the most docile. still debating though.
Kimberly Miranda how did you convince your parents. I had the same issue when i was younger and want a pet again
Kimberly Miranda well I have guinea pigs since I was 6 if you are interested then you can take care of anything even a tiger
That’s what happened to me as well
“Under 4 years old” mine: not even a year old
Boy mine are 5 weeks
Mines all literally going to turn one in one week not lying
Same mines 5 months
@@lylasworld4542 happy birthday to your guinea pig
Same
I was very concerned about my pigs respiratory tracts, so I installed a washer and dryer dedicated to my guinea pigs. I lined everything with clean non-fragranced bath towels. I changed the towels DAILY and laid new towels. I shook the poop into the trash and washed the towels in hot water with fragrance free laundry detergent and fragrance free dryer sheets. This kept my piggies healthy, I also had them raised off the floor at five feet in a 12 foot by 12 foot pig palace that my dad built. It was completely enclosed for safety. This kept them safe from drafts.
You've trained that GP to go into the litter tray to get a treat. It's not trying to fool you; you have trained the behaviour!
Yes and no. In the beginning he did just jump in the box for the treat. But after he was trained, he tried to fool me when he quickly squatted in the corner, not long enough to actually pee or poop, and then run forward for the treat. He was a very smart piggy.
Love your cage too Rocky 💙 is definitely spoiled he has a nice size home also he loves it he loves to run and popcorn all around in his cozy home we can tell at least he is one happy 😊 piggie he knows he is VERY MUCH LOVED 🥰
Tractor Supply has big bags of Pelletized Horse bedding for pretty cheap. I think they’re $6 something per bag. I used to use it before I totally switched to fleece. 😊
I tried your Trick and tried my two Ginny pigs and they were perfect in about 1 month!!! So thanks for this video!
Far, far back in the day when I had a guinea pig (co-habiting with a rabbit), we lined the entire cage with wood shavings which is such a mess to clean, and the shavings get everywhere. I had no idea that fleece and potty mats were an option - and that they're washable, too! This revelation actually makes me consider adopting some again, haha.
My girls are completely liter trained, they understood immedetly! They don't make a mess of their cage but my boar is another story. He doesn't understand the concept of a liter box, and he's so stinky 😭 his cage is so messy all the time
Just when I thought I knew it all I saw this video! I will be adding new stuff to my cage now! You showed me how a darker area is better for the potty areas. I just bought the potty training box from the pet store today and I saw your video for hints and you gave me more ideas than I anticipated. We have our cage off of the ground as well and I'm going to keep it there now that I know it's best for them. Thanks for sharing.❤. I love the wood chips, newspaper idea too. Your guineas are adorable 😍😍 I'm a new subscriber.
Loved your honesty about your very bright little Guinea pig, the one that became your smartest student as to tricking his owner. Great story. Good job with instructions. We had several over years, but children grew up, and pets pass with age. Miss them, none the less.
This litter training thing will not work for me bc my guinea pigs will lay down in the hay and sleep in it and my guinea pigs dig down until they are at the newspaper layer and they will eat all the paper and make a big mess!!😂
Same!!!
Do you have a chew toy for them? My guinea pig stopped eating newspaper when I got him his own chew toy
Mine just lay in the litter box like it’s a bed.... even after scooping their poop and putting it in the litter box to show it’s ...the toilet ! 😩
You dont have to use the newspaper that's only to make clean up easier
Thank you so much! I've been researching a ton to make sure I know everything there is to know about giving my future piggies a happy life, and your channel is sooo helpful! Definitely gained a sub 😄
You're a life saver 😃❤
I've watched your video multiple times! I am setting up a Guinea Pig cage! Your video is SO HELPFUL!!!!
I just watched this video now and realized that it was uploaded on my dogs birthday!
Lmao that is so funny that he would pretend to poop when he saw you coming. My pig Senor Pig (we have 2 pigs but Pickle sleeps with me because he prefers the more bright noisey night routine of my 8 year old daughter and Senor Pig prefers a quiet dark cuddle with mommy Sunshine the Pitbull and some TH-cam) knows that all he has to do if he wants a midnight carrot is sqwak at me as loud as a dang fire truck and I'll jump up and get him a carrot out of the mini fridge I got for his night time carrot so I didn't have to go down stairs at 1 in the morning lol. They are so so smart. This is his house I just live in it. I don't have a pet Guinea Pig a Guinea Pig has a pet Me! Lmao
I used to have a pair. We adopted them as adults from the neighbours who were moving in December. They were eight and seven when they died. Considering what they went through before we got them (fed those peanut shaped hamster pellets that were too big for them to eat, kept in a store bought cage, little water, no fruits or veggies or hay, no floor or lap time, one of them was dropped out the window and broke her leg, which never healed properly and she couldn’t use it for the rest of her life.) I’m impressed and grateful that we got about five years out of them. After we got them, they weren’t spoiled (we wee just well trained)
Thank you SO much for these videos! Our pigs started out in standard rabbit cages...until I started to watch TH-cam videos about them. Yours were some of the first I watched and I learned so much! They now live in a C&C cage, they get tons of play time, and they are litter trained pretty well! They actually seem like they are happier now and they for sure let me know if I am late on the veggie routine haha! Right now I have a female who was here first and then we added another one that turned out to be a male. So, for now they live with a divider. (the little boy HATES it lol) Again, I appreciate the effort you make to record and share the videos, they really help!
This is awesome! Definitely gonna try this with my pig, it's both a money and a time saver.
You're guinea pigs are so lucky to have you! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow that is a lovely cage for Guinea pigs ! 😋❤️
Everytime my guinea pig wants to poop or pee she just shakes her butt. So I just take her and put her in the litter box when she does it
Lol i think that would look funny
My pig doesn't like being picked up. I hope it's not permanent
I love guinea pigz, WITH A PASSION
this is very helpful! i'm not sure if we're getting guinea pigs or not yet but, this is a great idea you have. :) thanks for sharing
Thank you I am getting ready to get a pig and really Needed the good advice in this video. I will have to go By there today and pick some up
Terrance Jones I
U have to get two or more
I live in Knoxville this is the first TH-camr that I know of that live around
If my guineas are watching music videos with me during floor time, I already know when they want to go... they casually walk up to me, and let loose right next to me lolol they don’t like me lmao 😭
We get our wood pellets at PetSmart in the bird isle.
1:12, "What you got there lady?" XD
your guinea pigs are adorable 😍
Just got two little piggies and im definitely trying this out
Awesome tips, can't wait to get my guinea pig trained
2/4 of my pigs are litter trained. It’s the two that live together too. So I call the other pair the “stink pigs”. 😂
I use Exquisicat paper crumble litter. The unscented of course.
I appreciate learning how to train my Guinea pigs Thanks for all info
I gotta comment again to say you did a GRRREAT JOB on the video! I love that you showed the days and how you handle it. I do the same thing I spot clean the litter box and spots in the cage. I have a mite problem so Im not using fleece anymore until I get it under control. So I use puppy pee pads very expensive and now they just started putting that diaper solution that turns to jelly to trap urine so I will be calling them soon for a fyi call.
I put shavings on top Aspen but I found that is still bothers a couple of them at times so I just use it in the corners of the cage since they are not trained they used to be but now they are not feeling well from mites and I noticed they just go where ever they have to go now. It's weird cuz once the ivermectin is in their system working they are trained again. I thought the mites were gone but nope had to start another round.
Thank you for the video
when my little pig heard the squeaks they went CRAZY
Just what I needed
OH HEY COOL I JUST NOTICED I WAS YOUR 2000th SUBSCRIBER CONGRATS!
Thanks for this I been training mines on puppy pads and he goes on it he has a litter box and that's where I put the pads and I have the litter box sit on a pad like a area rug it's been helping but thanks for the tip on putting his hay in his box that makes sense because he can sometimes keep his home area free of poo poo 💩😁 and now I know why he poo poo around his home area is because I put hay over there so no more I just put all his hay in his poo poo area as I was watching and listening to you so AGAIN Thanks he has been very easy to train 🙏 thank God so now I hope this helps out more 🥰 p.s. also Everytime he poo poo from the box I pick it up and put it back in the box that definitely seems to work as well also I make sure to change his pad he seems to like it clean if it gets too messy he starts to go elsewhere he's been showing me what he likes 😄
Thank you for the thoroughly video! 😊
My guinea pig eats newspaper.... XD
Stella noms on cookies mine too!!
Keira Perez yeah
😂😂😂😂
Stella noms on cookies same
I'm might be getting one and I'm doing all the research I can, and I was wondering if newspaper will hurt them if they eat it?
Aspen is apparently the only guinea pig-safe wood shaving. Other wood varieties are associated with a number off issues including respiratory and other chronic illnesses. I'd encourage undyed and unbleached paper litters, hay, and fleece.
I love when they poop in the litter box.
So I am not sure my guinea pigs are trainable but i will definitely try looking for wood pellets. Thank you for this information, and your babies are all adorable.
No problem and i may need to buy those pellets online
this video was super helpful and now i know how to potty train my guinea pig #best video ever!
Really nice setup
my two girlies are so sweet, during cuddle time they will move off of me and then pee next to me rather than on me, it makes it easier because as soon as they move off of me I put them in their litter tray
Thank you I will use this for my guineas😁
Thanks for the great information
i have a brown guinea pig just like yours it is crazy they look the same OMG!!!
The squealing of the piggies when the newspaper was crinkling 😂
My two male Guinea pigs, pee and poop all over their cage. They don't go in a specific area of the cage. How would I litter train them?
Colleen Shave try sweeping it and putting it in the pan
Mine focuses on the corners to potty. I wondered about those little corner trays for potties. Since I watch him back his butt into a corner to pee and poop, maybe those would work even if I put one in every corner? lol
@Galaxy gamer3328 THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE ABOUT A DIM SPOT!! So many questions answered with that one. Thank you😁
Colleen Shave if they go on a small piece of fleece put that in their box as well as any small poops you can also put some dried carrot in the bottom of their hay so they will be busy searching also if you notice they go in a certain part of their cage put their litter box their so the will be accustomed to going in the same spot
Colleen Shave just read what she wrote, she told you how!
They are cutie pies!
1:08 guinea pig:ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME!!!!
thank you so much. I have been wanting a guinea pig for three months since my other guinea pig died. And we never knew any of this, so thank you
This video is very informative. The potty pads are a great idea! My family is considering getting a pair of piggies and I would like to potty train. Like and full view from new followers!
Her : this is where my guinea pigs poop the most
Me: that isn't even half of what my pigs do
I would have done this but I have a lazy 4 1/2 year old piggy. I'll keep this in mind for future pigs!
Thank you for this information!!!!
Your guinea pigs are so cute 😊😊😊
Thanks I will put a litter tray in with my boys 😃
Subbed! This was very helpful. my piggies are very mess piggies and they can turn a fresh clean cage into a smelly poopy cage lol
Thank you so much this helps a lot 😊😁
A does help i have a video too you need to wacth his name is pickles👍😘
I live in that area horse pellet bedding by ugieane is the exact same
I never knew I could train my guinea pig to do this. I m so happy I found this ❤️
in Missouri alot of stores like orchalins and sometimes lowes have the wood pellets and their pretty good i use them for my rabbit
i tried barricading them in and mine just hoped right over it...
The beige one jumps in to the litter box for a few secs pretending doing what it needs then comes to me beginning for the treat. He tricks me like this. Not kidding guys. Guinea pig thinks: I don't give a shit and still get the treat. Watch me.
Ha Ha ! I didn't know they are so smart! (I have been planning to get two myself!)
Hi, thankyou for this great video 😁
YAYAYAYAY I live in Knoxville TN and I have two Guniea Pigs so im lucky!
Gamer Chayse same

American guinea pigs are my favorite.
I call the Vet he say bring him in All i need is the med for him And he say i have to pay
I use pine pellets that are made for horse stalls. It is sold at feed stores. It is pine only, no chemicals or dust. I cover it with a light film of alfalfa, also bought from the feed store in big cheap bags. Then I put their orchard hay in one end of the litter box. They sit in it and eat, and poop. I also use it in my ferret's litter boxes. I keep my ferret far away from my guinea pigs, of course.
I love your videos
Thank you for the video! Can you please share the information for the cage that you used for litter tray? Thank you❤
It worked
omggg thanksss you are amazinggg❤❤❤
The wood pellets can be found at Tractor Supply. Sold in large bags and is in the feed area. It's actually bedding for horse stalls
TeachersPiggyPets what are wood burning pellets
TeachersPiggyPets the pellets from tractor supply have no smell
Very informative, thank you. Also the majority of your hardware / outdoor stores, like Ace, Lowe’s, etc. will only get the bags of wood pellets in during the fall / winter months. So check around later in the year and stock up. :)
:)
Thanks for sharing
What do you do with the used litter? I put mine outside and use it as a compost. Since I only use safe natural bedding over a layer of wax paper, it works great. I remove the wax paper but the hay, wood shavings and poop go into the new compost heap. It will be ready to use in the spring as a soil enrichment for some plantings. I really enjoyed your video and am sharing it with my daughter who has the most adorable 1 year old boar. In fact today, October 1, 2019 is his 1st Birthday!! Love my fourfooted grandpiggy!!🎂💖
This was my teacher.
what a great cage & set up you have for your guinie pigs! Thanks for the tips I'm getting my first pig.
You should get a piggy litter tray from the pet store, it's made for them
I usually use paper bedding for toilet may need get Another one for near their food. I clean mine every other day.
i have litter trained guinea pigs but i didn't use this trick but helpful
I thought this was impossible, guess not, thanks !
im from crossville! I just got two guineas
Mine is two thank goodness and I do have a litter box bc I lost my kitten 5 months ago
The litter she uses is what my family uses in our horses' stalls look at farm store like tractor supply, or southern states it comes in big bags
TeachersPiggyPets in our guinea pigs cages we just usw rhe paper kind cause it's warmer whwn they nest we live in Virginia right now in the mountains
Thx for help I’m getting one soon
ONE ?????
You have to know that you cant just have one. You have to have 2 or more
Du I have 2 I meant to say 2 not 1
If you have older guinea pigs couldn't you make a little doorway for them? Or if you cut from the top side enough then fold the cut piece down and put a cover on it for traction you can make them a ramp to climb in it
I live in Knoxville and where did u get the wood pellets
if you had elderly guinea pigs you could maybe get a paper filer and use that have a dip in the front so they could easily climb right in
TeachersPiggyPets yeah that would work well
