As adorable as guinea pigs are, my god they're disgusting sometimes 😂
Cuddles with Cavies haha....I often say that about my chinchillas, while they are eating each other's poop and masturbating next to each other (especially while watching Sofia the First....hmmm...I think my male chins have a thing for her lol). My herd of younger male chins (there are 4 of them together) will play fight and pee on each other. I also have two that refuse to groom the fur around their hineys, and I have to brush and remove those clumps of fur, since they absorb pee and get gross fast, especially during shed season (which is year round for three of them-they shed nonstop...ugh).
@@Boredchinchilla 😳😳😳😳
sweets08816 they do what??? 😳
I don't know how guinea pigs live in the wild. Without humans cleaning their private parts.
Adorable??? Lol mfs are hideous....
Videos like this are so important because too many people think it's an uncomfortable subject when really it isn't at all. And it's so important to know how to look after these things. Great job!!
Had no idea they required this much possible care and vet visits I imagine . Great video , it does teach you a lot and I know now I wouldn’t want one as a pet. So much better to know this beforehand.
Omg my guinea pigs r here and they started yelling when they heard ur guinea pigs! (Bruce is still staring at me)
Thank you for the great information! I’m new to guinea pigs and had no idea what to do about it or if I needed to do anything at all. So helpful!
You know we call guinea pigs with no fur. North American house hippos
Omg sooooo cute!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s funny, because when I first saw this guy I thought he looked like a hippo!
Have you ever experienced any of your pigs chirping like a bird? My pig recently chirped, and my husband and I thought a bird flew in our room that's how real it sounded haha.
ShanyaFae that is a sound piggys make when they are happy! im hoad your are happy😊
@@carmenmay5959 no, the piggies isn't happy when they chirping. It's a sound they do when they are really really afraid 😭. Often when it's dark..
They do it when they are scared or lonely
No they make that sound when they are really afraid!
They are literally chirping in the video when nothing bad is happening. They do make the noise when they are content and also it can be fear or pain so you need to pay attention to what the situation is.
Guys, this is an important informational video, if you don't like it, don't click on it and give her hate!
Thank you for this! I have two boars and kept trying to find a video on this! I haven't had to clean them yet but I wanted to be prepared if/when I need to!
I just want to say thank you for you videos. We have 3 piggies and had one special one pass away. When we got our first 2 we researched so many things but never got the info we have gotten from your videos. My 10 year old daughter found you on her on her own has followed you for a several years now and thinks your just amazing. She has a bond with the piggies I have never thought a human could have with a pig and for years has said how when she grows up wants to be just like you. I watch the videos with her and you have opened our eyes up to so much especially the cages and diet. I really thought we were responsible pet owners until you broke down pretty much basic common sense of how small pet shop cages in a video with a pet store cage and fake guinea pig. I was always told that's all they needed and thought I went a step above by getting the bigger size, and I realize now it so isn't enough. I felt so sad for them and just horrible after realizing the reality of this. we will be building our first C an C cage this weekend! It's common sense but so many people are told how little space they need and that's why they are great pets and trust it. Thank you so much for sharing your piggies and videos, they have educated us in a way everyone should be but aren't and we are forever grateful! we love our piggies as family members and want the best for them to be happy and healthy! 😀
My skinny boys are both a year old now, so I’m re-watching this one. Want to make sure I’m taking good care of my babies, and thanks to you and your videos they are doing great. Thank you, Abby and piggies!♥️
watch Saskia, shes a guinea pig rescuer, she runs a rescue, she shows in full detail how to clean your boars safely
This was incredibly informative and a helpful resource. Thank you!
Very "up close" and informative Abby!! 😂😂😂😂 Seriously though this info is great for those with boars! Thanks for posting this ❤
Excellent video. You deserve much more credit than just a youtube channel. 👍🏼
Comment below this comment, questions for a September Q&A video!
For bathing a guinea pig can you use unscented Dawn
skinnypigs1 for 2 boars how big does the cage have to be also 1 have one boar and I don't know when I can get a second what should I do😣😕😔
skinnypigs1 sorry last one were could I get a skinny pig and are they any different than guinea pigs in care and can they be together
when taking care of lonely piggies how do you keep them happy
skinnypigs1 I want to bring my guinea pigs outside but it's pretty hot and humid out. what temperature does it have to be for them to be allowed outdoors?
So close to being ready to get my own piggies your videos have been so much help!! You're such an amazing person!
Thank you I was so scared about this
Thanks a lot for this video .
We are finding this "guinea pig health series" so helpful .
I watched this as soon as the notification came up , but I wanted my husband to see it too , for the information , so this evening I played it through the tv , and at 5:11 , when one of the piggies start squeaking , my piggy Chopin stopped eating hay , and looked around as much as to say , who's voice is that ? It was so funny .
Thanks so much for this video . Chopin is our first male piggy , so I was very interested in seeing how to clean the grease gland .Thanks a lot for doing this health and medical series . It is so helpful 🙂
Oh I am glad :)
So cute! Loved the video!💕
yeah it's a great video but cute?
The pigs are cute :)
i agree but this particular video isn't very cute
How did I end up here?🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤣
I wanted a guinea pig...but I'm lazy and could never do all of this maintenance. So glad I learned about this before I got one. I might've hurt it and never known.
If you got a guinea pig that isn't a skinny pig thats a girl. You wouldn't usually need to clean them with coconut oil. The biggest pain, I find is if you use fleece. It's a bit of a pain to brush off the hay before washing the fleece.
You're so right about getting lumps and bumps checked by a vet!
Roary had a lump in his neck, turned out to be an abscess that formed from a bad bottom front tooth. Had tooth removed but the wound won't heal in his neck. Been on Baytril. Even had the neck swabbed to find out what specific bacteria to treat for. He was put on another round of Baytril and had a drain tube put in so we can flush the pus out with diluted betadine... horrible smell, ugh! Tube taken out Mon. and it doesn't seem any better. In fact, a hard lump is forming again. We still flush it 2x daily but I don't know what else to do. He has another check up on Mon. We've been battling this for months. 😔
I think if Roary's not better we will go to a specialist and see if we can get to the bottom of what's causing the infection. He will be 4 in December.
Tamara Sauls praying you can figure this out
Kat R ~ Thank you! We are praying for our little guy too.
So what ended up happening?
Thank you so much skinnypigs for the help inform😊❤️
You deserve so many more subscribers!!🐹🐹❤️💜
Such a great video! 👍🏼
And of course, every video with adorable Calvin in it, is a great video 😜❤
I knew exactly what kind of video this was going to be... And I clicked anyway😶
no regrets
Awesome and informative video about the less enjoyable parts of owning boars. I will say I find it oddly satisfying (although yucky) when I have to give my boys a good cleaning. It's so nice afterwards when you know they are happy and tidy down there!
Same, I am always happen when Calvin for example has a tidy bum.
Perfect video! I needed this; got our first boar, neutered, in July.
This helps so much thank you!!!
I have never seen a skinny pig in my real life .. but I like your videos good job 👏🏻 ❤️ cute little things 😍
Wish I got girls now Cos I never knew u had to do this 😂🙌🏻
Great video!! You are an amazing person!! I always come to your channel for advice. You have every video that I look up about. You probably one of my favorite guinea pig/skinny pig/rabbit channel❤❤❤
Should you wait that long in between emptying his sack? He looks pretty uncomfortable and very full?
OH MY GOODNESS CALVIN!! You lumpy bumpy you!
Head and shoulders really helps their dermititus and cysts like once a year and a baby hair brush it’s actually made of hair its for cradle cap and you use a bit of olive oil daily and it really helps
Lol I love the recommendations
Are those cysts from poor breeding or are they as random in piggies as humans?
Oh lovely.
It is a highly asked about topic and something that happens with owning boars or guinea pigs in general.
skinnypigs1 Oh yeah, I bet so. Just a wee bit icky lol.
@@skinnypigs1 Actually, I do find this lovely! Lovely that Abby cares so much to explain in detail and show us, up close and personal. Now I understand why my boar drags his 'undercarriage' along the fleece and droppings pop out. Thanks again, Abby! ;-)
I was watching videos how to clean and wax my snowboards and UA-cam suggested this ! 😨
What Happened To Bathing Your Pets? Like With My Guinea Pig He Got a Bath Once a Month Or Sometimes Two... it Helped Relieve Itcy an Skin Scabs.. An Once a Month I Would Clean His Glands Or Atleast Check to See if Packing Up... Bathing An Soaking them In Water Helps With The Oil Glands an Gland Pockets..
Holy crap- uploaded 2 minutes ago! Idk just I'm so early! Yay!
My Guinea pig used to drag his butt too. I thought he would just clean himself like a dog.
do skinny pigs or hairy pigs live longer?
I've never seen a guinea pig without hair.
*message for Calvin* Oh my dear heart! You dashing lad you, ! Could you be anymore handsome, calm spirited, & resilient? I just found out from your mom of a certain touchy, very "personal" well say, situation that you seem to unfortunately have to face, & shewwwww! All I gotta say, is Holy Hell! You truly are a Warrior after all.

Southern Vibezzz boy are you a wack job. There's no way that profile picture is real.
How many guinea pigs have you had throughout your life!!??🐹🐹💜💜
What do they do in the wild?
Oh wow, I had no idea about any of this! Do even neutered males do this? I just adopted a rescued neutered male. All the rest of my herd are girls.
Poor little albino fella with the tik tac in his Willy
Omg!their so adorable btw :D 😍😍😍😍 squeak squeaaakkkkk...oh....OH MY GOD OHHH MY GOD YA NEEDA CLEAN ITT 😨😨😰😰
Abby are all of your piggies spade and neutered if not which ones aren't? Btw I love your channel and I have two girl piggies myself :)
I noticed you bathe your guinea pigs quite frequently, especially Calvin. I've read and I've also heard from people online that bathing guinea pigs too often can dry out their skin, wipe off all the natural skin oils, and should only be done a few times a year. My boys get smelly very quickly (they are both furry guinea pigs) and they also love to lay where they pee and poo so I find they have pee/poo covered tummies and feet most of the time. Is it okay to give baths all the time to only skinny pigs, or can furry pigs have them too? How does Calvin's skin not get dried up? I heard you mention that Calvin has perfect skin in another video so I was wondering how that is possible.
Calvin has medical issues so needs his stomach and back legs washed off each day almost. I am not washing his entire body with shampoo, so I am not stripping off his natural skin oils, just washing off pee/poo on his tummy and back legs daily if needed. Skinny pigs can be lathered up with coconut oil as well to ensure their skin is staying soft and hydrated.
As for the other guinea pigs, I am not sure why you are under the impression I bath them often? I maybe do a full bath 1-2 times a year and bum baths more often if needed. I always use a guinea pig safe shampoo and only wash what is needed.
What size of cage do you have for the boys, how old are they and what bedding are you using? Isn't normal for pee/poo covered tummies to happen often for guinea pigs generally speaking.
Oh, I'm sorry for not being clearer. I understand that full baths shouldn't be done often. I was wondering if I could do the same thing you're doing for Calvin, washing his lower-half, with my boys. I was under the impression you bathe your guinea pigs often because I see Calvin getting a bath in a lot of your videos. My boys are in a 2x6 C&C cage and they are on fleece. I recently switched to a different kind of hayrack, the same one you have in your guinea pigs' cage. I noticed that now they absolutely love to sleep and sit under there and that is why their tummies and feet get dirty. Their poops and pees mainly go under that hayrack. I spotclean twice a day. I'm not sure their exact age; I wouldn't say they are older than 2.5 years.
It is just Calvin who is just getting the tummy bath often, the rest are only as needed, which isn't very often at all.
Do you have a good absorbent layer with your fleece?
What about putting a litter box under their hay rack that has a disposable bedding in it? Maybe that will help.
You can wash their tummies if it is needed, it is better to be clean than have bacteria sitting around their tummies and groins.
Yes, I use U-haul underneath. One of my boys loves to chew on the plastic of the litter boxes to the point where some teeny-tiny pieces of plastic come off so I'm afraid he'll eventually ingest it. He also does the same thing with fleece cozies such as those fleece cubes or anything else made of fleece that's closed/covered/has a roof. He climbs up to the upper corner of the fleece cube and chews at the seams/fleece. I've even spotted a few pieces of torn fleece in their cage when that happened. I no longer put those items in their cage because I don't wanna risk him eating the fleece.
Thanks for the help!
Omg when you went to touch it’s but and it pooped🤣😂
Also what could have caused a cloudy eye
Does your pig have one now or you want to know for the Q&A video?
i love skinnys
Hi i love you and your piggies
Thank you! So helpful
How do you hold nervous guinea pigs when cutting their nails?
You know you could search UA-cam for tutorial videos?
NightRoseThorn my bad I was just trying to think of some questions😂
She actually has nail clipping videos. Check out her description box.
Beck Allen thank u!
What does the cyst feel like?
Why have they not got any fur?
I like to call hairless guinea pigs “skinny pigs”
Q&A how many guinea pigs have you had in your life time
I love your videos they help a lot for me!!! Also if your guinea pigs have a baby will they only have one for there hole life???
? They can get pregnant over and over, no one should be breeding their guinea pigs.
skinnypigs1 yes I would never breed guinea pigs just wondering thank you!!!!!
Why do they have so many cysts? Is it common with skinny pigs?
Why would you wait until his skin is built up. Wipe him every day instead of waiting for build up.
Wiping them down every day will strip them of their natural oils
When are you planning to get another piggy
What type of fleece do you use for you guinea pigs? Can you send a link to show me where you got the fleece and can you send a video on the fleece you have? I'm thinking of investing in fleece. You know about Bumblefoot, I need help will the Epsom Salt... #1 How much salt should I use?
#2 How often should I do this?
#3 Will the Bumblefoot stop inflating?
#4 Does Epson salt really work for Bumblefoot?
#5 Is it okay for my guinea pig to lick it off? (Don't worry he didn't)
Daniella Rivera she has videos on both of those questions. Check out all her links in her description box.
Daniella Rivera join guinea pig fanatics on Facebook, many people make fleece there! 😊
CBD oil on his ears when they feel sore or uncomfortable
Do U do this with the guinea pigs? (The fluffs)
Very informative thankyou. Having two boars this answered alot of my questions :)
I have to do this with my older boy piggy every two days I just popnon my glovesvand gentaly ease it out and pop a few drop of manuka tea tree oil in and that's it job done ,he's fine no infections ,I've had to do this now for two years but his nearly five years old now !and his my baby still
I’m a new owner to guinea pigs coming up a year now to boys. I am really anxious about doing this and their willies. Any helps etc, please, please pass then on to me xx
The LA Guinea Pig Rescue has a few videos on it. Just look up Saskia from the LA Guinea Pig Rescue here on UA-cam.
I noticed my guinea pig has stopped popping . So I attempted to clean out this sack yesterday. I noticed it had white slim . Not brown . Is that okay ?? Looks like puss
NO. GET HIM TO A VET IMMEDIATELY!
Question for Your Q&A, What is the best way to switch a guinea pigs food over to another one?
Stop giving one and start giving the other...
Such high maintenance. What is the history of their existence?
What do you do if your guinea pig has a cloudy eye
Briana Renier or they are going blind in that eye. My guinepigs eye is getting cloudy to.
You need to take them to the vet for a cloudy eye so it can be assessed.
Briana Renier search it up
sometime it can be a foreign object that's irritating the eye (like hay for example) and the eye is trying to protect itself.
Not going to lie or sugar coat it I don't under stand how anyone could find these creatures cute with out fur especially with cysts and butt clogs but I guess to each there own
What was the first pet you've gotten?
Aren't they supposed to actually do something to clean these places out??
One thing I have learnt is if you don't remove all of the sack lining of the syst they will return.
Yes that is very true!
How many years did you have Willy??
He just came here and is 6 years old.
My boar often on his bum has some grease lumps is that bad he is a long hair piggy
See I always do it under water when I do butt bathes with warm water and coconut oil after it's clean and I use my fingers so I have more control. Henry my neutered male had a ton of waxy stuff u were talking about but not as much sense neuter. Is that normal
Yes normal, when neutered their whole anal sack is smaller and does not seem so messy like the un-neutered boars.
Thats because its a perineal sack. Not an anal sack, thats not a thing that exists. That waxy stuff is smegma, when neutered they would have nearly as much discharge
I have been told olive oil is good to
this is a great video, i have done a few videos like this for my guinea pig channel, i would love to collaborate at some point if that is something you would like to do as your videos are brilliant
How big does a cage for two guinea pigs have to be?
Der Boss The minimum for two piggies is 7.5 square feet or 2x3 grids and the preferred size is 10.5 square feet or 2x4 grids. If you have male pigs I would opt for the larger size.
I am leaning back from the iPad screen with my arm across my chest, kinda hiding behind my elbow. 😅
Do you bathe after you clean the grease glands? Or just leave him with the oil?
I wiped the oil off him, but for furry pigs you'd want to bath them afterwards.
Do you do this even if there neutered sorry if I don't spell it right
Samys randomly world101 101fam Yes. When needed❤️
what kinda breed is that?
how do you bond with the
Also sad albinos are more at risk of getting cysts and having other health problems
The grosses pet omg
You could have showed us instead of just talking
I buzz my pigs gland area one time cause his fur was matted
I had no idea guinea pigs were so gross.
First! I love ur vids
Hi I have a skinny pig named woody I’m a newbie here and as a parent to a skinny piggy. ... one question woody keeps scratching and itching and acts like this being bitten. Although he has no fur ? Can he get mites ? Fleas? Also his skin has some dry areas I’m afraid to slather oil on him what if he falls into a frying pan! Ha ha jk thanks for the video Much love mandatory Manda Add me and subscribe so you can see woody xox
Oh they’re rats I kept thinking I’ve never seen a bald Guinea pig lol sorry
Why do they have missing hair?
They are a hairless breed.
I didn't realize they could be hairless..thanks
