Just to let people know, if you are struggling with getting hay off your carpet the best thing to use is a rubber broom. It helps collect all the big or thick pieces that the vacuum or even the shop vac can't get up
@@carolmay9795 my family have used them for dog fur as well, especially on carpeted stairs. I have just always struggled with the hay clean up. I would spend so long on my hands and knees with a shop vac and just picking up hay with my hands. It was so frustrating that I didn't want to clean it up.
This is so wholesome in a world with influencers who want us to buy things we don’t need and make us feel bad about ourselves…..and war, famine,earthquakes and so on. Anyway..I don’t have piggies but seriously considering it. My neighbor is a 45 year old man who loves piggies and have 25. He has a whole room dedicated to them, two huge enclosures with much like the setting you have. All healthy and happy popcorning around 😂 I look after them when he is gone, wonderful animals ❤
Hey, just checking your metacam dose, double check with your vet if it definitely twice a day, meloxicam the drug usually lasts 24 hrs. Just want to make sure your little fella isn't getting too much. If your vet is saying twice then perfect, but no harm in double checking :)
Just deep cleaned my piggy's cage with the vinegar/water mix Got the stuff from the pet store of course, after cleaning everything and putting their stuff back in, I felt ten times better. Watching your's and Sarah's videos have been such a big help! My first piggy was kinda dumped on me 4 months ago. At first I was like umm...WHAT THE HECK? WHAT DO I DO?? But now we have 2 boys, bonding was amazing and I got REALLY lucky. I now help the pet store next to my work on helping check to make sure their males. I've given them tips I learned and they are using them, and sometimes I help clean the males. Plus, us loving on them helps get them ready for homes.
Hi Austin! I was wondering if there is a video or place where we can learn all of your piggies names? Maybe your website could have an introduction to them or something because despite how much I watch your channel, I still don't have them all memorized lol
Hope Jojo surgery went well🙏. Just adorable watching them. I do miss not having any piggies any more Had them for years 😜. That was some cleaning routine , plenty of washing 😅 too . Have a good Weekend 🥰
With those hay houses, I cut off the bottom and use zip ties to hold it together. I hang the floor I took off on the side of the cage for the pigs to chew on if they feel like it.
The hay rack is great. I don’t put the top on it. You don’t need to cut the bars. They can get the hay out. It is so much neater than others that I have tried. My doctor told me that I showed signs of arthritis when I was 16. It is just the way things go. Both of my grandmothers had Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have a lot of sympathy for animals who have it because they can’t tell us. Sending hugs to Jojo. I put toys in my girls cage. They don’t really play with anything.
@@ThePigRoom sadly dunno why i can't open ur Amazon wishlist it keeps sending me to my own D: my friend had the same problem .. So i had to guess xD I'm happy when u happy ❤️ u have a good heart 🥰
I didn't think it was really safe to use "Aspen bedding" for guinea pigs due the amount of dust it causes? I heard the pine was safe, and I'm sure it causes some dust as well... Is that true? I dunno know, I'm lost on which is better to use. Can you pls help me on this lol. I love watching your videos and have learned so much from u, so thank you for making them and taking such good care of those babies!
I am a human with arthritis who also take Meloxicam twice a day (along with other meds)! Meloxicam is a great pain reliever for arthritis and I am sure JoJo will feel much better on it. So glad sweet JoJo has a great pig dad and vet who do their best to give him the best care they can. Hope JoJo feels better soon!
Ahhh Austin I’m so glad you got the cage ornaments!!! I sent them out weeks ago and they made their way back to me before I could send them back to you! Haha ❤❤
Hey Austin I love your videos( though they are a bit long) you have taught me so much about caring for my little guy Gizmo( I only have one because I adopted him and he is always bullied by other piggies I play with him multiple times a day though.). I just wanted to let anyone know that I have an Etsy shop for small pets called SmallPetEmporium(I actually sell an amazing homemade forage. My piggy goes CRAZY for it!
Has anyone tried corncob bedding? We use it for rodents and it works very well. If they chew it, it won’t hurt them and it’s big enough to off gas moisture quite a bit and stay a bit drier. I think you’re not thinking the hay rack through. It’s better for the pigs to have to work for the hay a bit as it adds enrichment to their day. Hay just open feeding is no real lasting enrichment, hay they need to work a bit for is a great way to enrich much longer.
I assume you already use them, but toilet paper rolls are amazing enrichment, I've figured out a way to fold them so my boys can't unfold it if I do it right (otherwise I fold the ends in on each other and watch as my boys (mainly Tommy) fling them around to get pellets out
I just had to separate my skinny pigs a few days ago and it’s so sad because their two almost three years old and they had a major fight and my skinny pigs have been together since they were just little. My Skinny pig Skittles just popcorned for the first time is over a year which is exiting. :>
This is a question completely off topic! I’m so sorry! I’ve just inherited two male piggies and I’m wondering about cleaning them “down there” properly! What’s the best to use? Coconut oil? Water? I honestly don’t know! I’ve always had girlies so this is completely new to me! Xxx
Darling Jo Jo, hope your feeling better soon sweetheart ❤️. Thank for this fantastic video Austin love to you and your gorgeous Ginnie pigs ❤️☺️💕💙💗💘💝💖🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹
15:07 Im sorry but to give my pig meloxicam or anything through a syringe they would rather die than take the syringe. I give them the burrito blanket treatment but it still takes forever bc they manage to find a way out.
Hi I’m new watching your video’s, I’m from The Netherlands and I study animal care myself. Can I ask you why you would recommend me fleece bedding. We learn we need to straw bedding. But I’m curious for your opinion :)
I find it interesting how you keep your pigs. Where I live they live in hatches outside, only coming inside overnight during winter. There house part is lined with newspaper, animal bedding and stuffed with lose hay. They nest in the hay and eat what is around them. They have long run that is partly covered. It usally sits on grass. Maintain by moving Cage daily, change house part weekly, srub monthly. Feeding is grass sitting on, pellets, kitchen scraps (carrot, luttce).
Hi! I was wondering - i'm thinking of getting 3 guinea pigs, not sure when but probably in September maybe? I am still trying to persuade my parents tho lol Is a 3 by 5 or 3 by 6 c&c grid cage big enough? if not what is a good size for 3? I don't really care if you r late replying to my comment... but give me your feedback! thx
reddit has a whole sub just for guinea pigs, tons of people use it and they have a million answers for any questions you could ever have. That place really helped me find tons of useful tips on caring for my piggies/making it easier.
Could you please do a common health issue with piggies, and how to avoid it. I'm thinking about rescuing 2 males, but I have never had pigs, I have had: mice, mini hamsters, rabbits, deggu, chinchillas, fish, and dogs and cats. I'm not sure if I should rescue them (they are given away from two different places on our type of craigslist) I don't really know if I have enough information to make a good decision about rescuing them. (I read up about introducing them to avoid a fight, since they are males, but I don't have any females, so there shouldn't be any smell to trigger a fight, and anyway, I can keep them separated so they can see but not bite each other) I will look through your videos, but do you have a link to a video where I can get the most information I need? I would love to be like a critter rescue, but I ain't sure how to handle it. 😅
FYI I see in videos from time to time that you throw out food products because they are "expired". I want to let you know that that is NOT an expiration date. It is an arbitrary date placed on the package by the manufacturer and is actually a "Best by" date. They put those dates on there so you will throw it out and buy new product. The same goes for canned and packaged human food. The only human food that requires an expiration date is baby food. Obviously this rule does not apply to fresh produce and meats etc
Hello please can you make more of of jumbo bunk bed pee pass al all of them because when I go on your shop I can’t buy anything because it’s all sold out 😊😢
I love your channel @ThePigRoom, however, the one thing that no ever shows on their channel is what to do during severe weather. I mean, I understand that my life is probably more important during a tornado warning or flood warning, but no one ever talks about things like that. Can you make a video about that?
He did multible bondings they didn‘t work out. He tries really hard to get them a partner actually. (You can look up nearly every bonding on his channel)
They don't bond well with other pigs, hes tried many different pigs to try bond and they don't work out. Some used to be bonded then fell out with their cage mates :(
Just to let people know, if you are struggling with getting hay off your carpet the best thing to use is a rubber broom. It helps collect all the big or thick pieces that the vacuum or even the shop vac can't get up
I have been using a rubber broom for many years and i agree it is the best. I originally bought it for dog fur

That color piggies choice house is beyond adorable. I love that color! Is it the magnetic roof that's interchangable?
I’m absolutely obsessed with your guinea pigs! I just have a question. What are those rug things called that you places under the houses and stuff?
Clean cages are so satisfying! Great job! 👍👍👍

What hay nuggets do you think are the best overall?
he was soooo cut!!!
I reccomend using a metal dog brush or a rubber item

Hi Austin.looki g to add bedding to the litter box area. Do you prefer Aspen bedding or the kaytee soft and clean? I see you mention both.
You should make a video of showing all your pets. It would be fun
I was literrally just looking for a video to Watch from your channel when this popped up❤️😍
Yesterday was March 1 so I hope His surgery went well😇
