Wow they have the best owner ever

I'm so upset because about a year ago, actually May 16th of 2015, I went to get my first Guinea pigs. When I wanted to get these two this staff member of the pet shop came up and talked to my dad, who has no knowledge of Guinea pigs, hates them, and doesn't want to be near them, he's just letting me take care of everything. So the staff member tells me, "you should really only get one of those girls". And I said "but Guinea pigs need partners to grow up. They're herd animals!" and she said "well when Guinea pigs get older, they fight. It would be a terrible idea to make two grow up together" and I'm thinking in my head 'has she no common sense?' So I said "I really think they'll be happier if they grow up together. And THEN my dad jumped in. He believed the worker instead of me, when I've been learning and studying Guinea pigs for about a year, before I was finally able to get some. So my dad said, "less Guinea pigs, less money, less poo, less food. How about we get one" and I really can't argue with my dad and I was just so upset so I went with it. Now it's been a year with my one Guinea pig and I still get that nagging feeling in my heart that she needs a partner, no matter how much attention I give her. (3 hours per week day, 5 hours on weekend days). I tried explaining it to my mom who is very close to her, but my mom says "she will just be more attached to her friend than you and she won't give you any attention" and I get so upset because no one understands and nobody listens to the 12 year old (yes I'm 12). I plan on somehow finding a way to get her a buddy this summer, but now she's a year old and what if my current Guinea pig fights with the new one? I can't afford to keep both in separate cages their whole life. :'(. What do I do little adventures? Sorry this was very long and if you DO read this, love your channel, I have stuck with you for years and depend on your videos to make my little Daisy happy. Thanks if you can help.
+Guinea Piggly Pig If you can afford to get a boar neutered (or maybe get an already neutered boar from a rescue), your female guinea pig will, in all likelihood, not fight with the boar. Males and females usually get along really well! :) If you get another female they usually get along as well, however, the problem is that 2 females can be kinda unpredictable so no one can tell you for certain that they're going to get along. If your girl is a year old, there might still be a chance of her getting along with a new partner but the older she gets, the harder it will be to introduce to her another guinea pig. So getting a boar neutered would have the highest success rate. I hope this helped :)
A
so did it turn out?
Guinea Piggly Pig Did you get your piggie another mate then? :)
In my opinion I wouldn't have gotten the guinea pig if you couldn't get another. I would've waited. With my first guinea pig, she was the last one and my mum didn't want to get another somewhere else because she was scared that another would fight with mine. She grew up happy but I still believe she wasn't the happiest because she never chirped. With the two I got after her they chirped like crazy.
in my most humble opinion, I think this chick is spot on with her tips. if you are a new guinea pig owner many of her videos are extremely helpful in educating...terms, habits, diet...etc. she doesn't claim to be a vet, but is speaking from experience. ..and all her cavys are always looking happy, so I really trust her suggestions. personally speaking, I didn't plan my guinea pigs, my three all came from pet store. I went to a large chain pet store to pick up snacks for my pups and that's when I saw Bowie, my abby...love at first sight. it's taken time to acclimate myself and family to our new members. I never had guinea pigs, and they are nothing like other rodents in particular ways, so it's important to understand what you're getting into before you purchase/adopt. I don't make fancy videos like this chick, but I'm just chiming in as support. what no one will admit is that these animals are cheap here, so it's easy to just go out and buy or get one, and people overlook their needs and best interest. in my home, our pets are family....but we understand that we are different species and so everyone has someone..sorry for long rant. kudos to all the awesome pet owners who put their pets first!

curlytemple79 u
curlytemple79 I rly don't get it when people call others "chicks". Like wth. I thought it was always a "chic". Calling someone attractive a chicken is just - smh.
curlytemple79 Ay Same are pets are family
100% true
THIS is one of the best Videos I have EVER seen so far.
Realllly good research and stuff. Much love ^^

Are you challenging me?

My best friend and I have gotten a Guinea pig named Snoopy in the end of January and every time I come over and say "Snoops!" Snoopy run over to the front of her cage! And we've had her for less than 2 months!
Drawingdud #15 does snoopy have a friend and that's adorable
Nope-ity Nope wow
Nope-ity Nope Wow I just Got a Guinea pig like 2 weeks ago :)
I have one guinea pig it’s a male is that okay? :( he’s a baby and hates veggies and fruits yes he’s from petsmart :( :( :(
@@kittensquad3766 no, maybe you're piggie is depressed bc they're lonely?
So I'm new to this channel and I already really like it
Me too!
Me too
I got my first piggy today her name marshmallow and it’s a girl!!! She’s albino!!!
Avery Play’s Roblox how is she doing now . I play roblox too btw
I got my first today too! Her nam eis oreo and I feel like I should get her a friend but the pet shop we go to only had one :( also an albino guinea pig sounds super cool!
Avery Play’s Roblox nice congrats 🥳!
cute
Im getting 2 next week! One is a skinny-pig, (means hairless) and the other girl is a fluffy, cute, and beautiful! Im so happy!
Great tips! I'm considering Guinea Pig adoption, and your videos have been super awesome and helpful! Thanks!! :)
This video was very helpful to me , my daughter is getting new guinea pigs today. So she watched every video she could find but this video was the best for her to understand.
Thank you for all your videos! I just got two piggies and you don't even know how much your videos have helped me get information. I feel much more comfortable I can be a good pig mama now. Thank you!
Thank you for this in getting my sister two this weekend to surprise her on Christmas and this was so helpful❤️❤️❤️
I'm getting 2 new guinea pigs next week and I thank you so much for everything, wish me luck!
Your videos are so helpful. I don't even have a Guinea Pig but I really really really really really really want one. You take such good care of your piggies and I'm positive that they appreciate all of your work and commitment. Btw your piggies are so cute!!!❤️
All of her tips so far have defintly helped my little piggies. Keep up the great work!!
Sylvester is so handsome. I’m about to start a family here. Im still doing my research- your videos have helped a lot
The guinea pig in the beginning looks like one of mine! His name is tofu
Tofu is a nice name
Love your straight forward commentary...not skipping on vital requirements...too many pets kept in small surroundings without interaction, stimulation and freedom...why do people not understand these are living things just like us, needing specific care. Really appreciate your encouragement for adopting from rescue groups and those unwanted piggies due to 'kids no longer interested' : (.
These videos are incredible! I'm getting two new female guinea pigs next week and all of these videos help me so much!
Thank you so much Little Adventures. I just got a guinea pig and this was extremely helpful.
Taming your guinea pigs can take WHEEKS months or years
Get it? Wheeks
Hahahaha haha 😂
@ryle0150 ryle0150 *sad guinea pig noises*
Hahaha 😂
Crispy Bacon Kazoo get out
Haha, my guinea pig got tame when she was 6 years old. It really does take time.
I just got my first Guinea pig from pet co not to long ago and I got a Abyssinian one and she has been very shy and all ways rain away from me but then I found your UA-cam channel and your UA-cam videos has so much advise! This is the 5 day I have had her and I have been following all of your steps on all your videos and she is not so shy no more. like you said you want them to think of you as a vegetable person! And I just wanted to thank you!
I'm super exited! I'm getting a guinea pigs soon and your videos have been helpfull for preparing for my new pets!
My poor piggy sprout was put to sleep on the 1st of dec 2017 because of fluid in his abdomen. He left behind his brother skunk. Skunk was very sad and depressed... so the next day i went to go get a treat for him at urban pets and i found a sweet torti. We took him home, and now we have skunk and his new buddy chewbacca (chewy)! They seem to get along for now... two boars. Chewy is only a couple months old and skunk is 3 years. Skunk is still sad about his bro. May sprout rest in peace.
R.I.P Sprout the white-cream and black american(but still canadian) guinea pig. You are missed
The Big Pigs :3 OMG my guinea pigs name is Chewbacca too! So funny
Emmerson Helms white cream and black American (still Canadian) BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA still Canadian XD XD Canadian guinea pig! Should be a breed! Btw I’m not trying to make fun of you, just found it halarious
I have 6 pigs but I think depending on the guinea pig you can only have one if the owner is able to be home 24//7. I know many happy, healthy solo guinea pigs who are very tame as their owner works from home or is a stay at home parent ❤️. But it always depends on the pig, if they dont go well with other pigs or something then you can have a solo one but it is always better to have 2+ pigs.
Your videos and your Guinea Pigs are always enjoyable and relaxing to watch. Thank you for all of your hard work.
I’m adopting my grans guinea pigs in a few weeks and I honestly can’t wait!
I’m getting two by the end of this year :D
FYDSantrex yay! :D
Nice I got 2 already!
Really good tips I'm thinking about getting a Guinea pig and this really helped me
AWSOME

Do not get one, get two.
Im planing on rescuing two-three guinea pigs in a few months. Your videos have been so helpful! I was very overwhelmed at first but your videos gave me the correct information clearly and slowly. I have made a wood cage with some C & C walls. The cage is 8 foot long and 3 feet wide. I think that's an okay cage size for 2-3.
I LOVE your hay wagon. It's so cute!
Is it ok to have a hole conversation with ur guinea pig as u pretend to be one. I used to do that with mine I would make a happy sound then my boy (his name is Bao) would repeat in the same tone.
My guinea pig cage is quite small but I give them a lot of floor time is it okay?
It depends on how small it is.
Thank you for all the information. and that website has so much info. Thanks again.
:O Thank you ever so much for creating incredible videos with guinea pigs :)
I saw your channel a couple of mins ago and I already love it! It made me smile after a tiring day... Thank you!
+iRuler :)
My guinea pig hates other pigs and lives alone I got her from a rescue in London and apparently she had a partner who died and she couldn't bond with anyone else. So I just hug her almost daily and she seems chill she is really chatty.
Sadly, I can't get two guinea pigs. I got one yesterday, so! I am going to do everything in my power and budget to make them happy! ^w^
haha yeah me too i just got one guinea pig bc my parents won’t allow me to get 2 but i’ll try my best!
@@strangerdanger3002 :0 Awesome! You can do dis!
StatixzLife thanks 💕
My parents allow me to get 2 guinea pigs they are both males because my mom and dad don’t want to have them babies but my grandpa want a male and a female together
OK, with all due respect if you are not able to get two guinea pigs, than you should not have one at all. I know it seems like extra attention would be fine, it unfortunately does not work the same way. Your guinea pig is probably very upset with no partner.
Thank you for all your advice this will sure come in handy😀😀
Thanks for the video, I've been wanting a Guinea pig for a long time and now knowing these facts I can possibly save up some money, set up a home, provide space and finally get a Guinea pig. Those little guys are so adorable🥺❤
i have one guine pig but im told my mom and so she said we are going to get another one soon like really soon!❤❤❤😄
Gingi
Was your one guinea pig ok?
Mine doesn’t have a partner because it died and my parents
won’t let me get another
I had two three year old rescue pigs, both female, and one died after less than a year. I know guinea pigs are social animals and we have always kept them in pairs, but we don't want to keep them beyond the death of our current one (Rosie). We've had 8 over the last 18 years (all female, all in pairs). Some react badly to the loss of their cage mate; others seem to care less. Rosie interacted well with her former cage mate, but actually seems to behave much the same without her, as far as I can tell, anyway. I did think of offering to give her to someone else who has a lone female, but I haven't done so because her behaviour seems so normal. She has been on her own for about a year.
I just subscribed and just want say I love your videos
I'm new to the guinea pig world and I've already learned so much from them
Thank you for posting these videos
They are very helpful 🙂
Thank you this helped my New Guinea pig (Hazel) so much!🔥🔥
I’m getting a guinea pig soon. Hopefully my parents will let me get a partner for it.
Did u get it?
Are three guinea pigs okay?
The more the better!
VoltNoodles yes. as long as they r all the same sex or neutered as she said
VoltNoodles as many as you want.
VoltNoodles of course!
yes, but it can be better if you have an even number so all of them have a buddy. :)
I am getting mine April 12 can’t stop watching this channel
I have 2 Guinea pigs . I didn’t know that many things guinea pigs needed. Thanks to you my guinea pigs are happier than ever!
hey little adventures do you have all boys or all girls or both? if both how many boys and girls?
she has both
pigs104 she has 3 girls and 2 boys
pigs104 both! 2 boys and 3 girls
MY FRIEND HAS TO GET RID IF HER MALE PIGGIE BUT I HAVE 2 FEMALES!! What do I do, she'll have to give him to a shop if I can't take him so what do I do????!!!!
+KittyCupcake Lover get him to a vet to get him neutered :)
+Little Adventures ok thank you she said that I'll get him next week!!😝 Hop he's fine with my piggies!
+KittyCupcake Lover I have 3 females but I couldn't split up a brother and sister so I bought both of them and neutered the boy, it was so worth it!
+Little Adventures +KittyCupcake Lover I have 3 females but I couldn't split up a brother and sister so I bought both of them and neutered the boy, it was so worth it!
Get him neutered. Or else they will mate and that will be complete disaster. And don't listen to Jacob Nachimson, he doesn't have any common sense. Why would you breed piggies????
Most excellent tutorial on providing the best care for piggies.
I got my guinea pig almost 2 days ago, he trusts me enough to eat in front of me! :) His name is calico. (Reason for me naming him that is because he looks like a calico cat!) My moms friend has helped me a lot with taking better care of him. :) But, you’ve also helped me quite a bit on learning more about them! Thank you, Little Adventures.
How to clean a cage??
If you have a cage here you can fully take off the top this is what u do.Take off the top and dump the bottom in a garbage bag.If you have a cage where you cant do that,find a small dustpan and broom,sweep up all the bedding and replace it :)
What the other commenter said, or you can also take a shop vacuum to suck up all the bedding. Just make sure you dump the vac pretty soon or the pee will mold the vacuum’s filter :)
I need to buy another damnit

k dawg lmao same
I absolutely LOVE your channel, i got into guinea pigs a couple years ago but was always too young to have one in my families eyes ( im 13 ). I got into your channel about a week ago and have watched so many videos cause i have finally talked my parents into letting me get two ( they need a buddy) I am just so happy i found this to help me be a better piggy mom. ( their names will be chip and Mars) Thx so much for helping me with this. hope you see this, Keira
This was extremely helpful quite a few ways but in others not so much when your guinea pig hates being around other guinea pigs and only interacts well with humans; though with hiding places etc. helped me a lot; especially the checking weekly thing as I wasn't sure how many times I should check and things
This is how many times she said guinea pig XD

Ok iam on my mum account to
Hi
but I only have 1 Piggie. What will I do?
get another
I’m getting 2 Guinea pigs tomorrow from a rescue and I have a hudge cage which is bigger than my door I hope that’s fine and I got all the things I need from the rescue and from different pet stores your videos are always really helpful💖🙏🏻
since the first day I got my little 3 weeks old piggy i watch your vids help me out so much thx :D
But I only can adopt one,cause im a teenager (14)so I can only afford one of mine so how can I company it and I have a small cage too....
I've heard putting a mirror can help in the cage, but it's still not the best
Build a cage out of a cube storage thingy. That's what I did.
Don't get guinea pigs until you can afford the proper care, simple as that.
Having one pig has worked in my experience but a small cage is an absolute no-no, especially when the pig has grown up. I'm upgrading my cage asap. Plus you MUST spend a minimum of two hours a day with a single pig.
The Last Bookie human companionship can't achieve what another pig does though...
Convincing my parents to get a guinea pig...... can I get a like??!!
Siobhan cox
Not unless you're getting two. All you'll get from me is a dislike.
Assassin's Guilt I meant two.
Know how you feel but please do your research
And why would you need that like??
Same same...
Im doing my research!
I just got two little piggies today. They're so cute! Very shy though. Thank you for giving us your advice!
Alanna McGrane how are they :)
I'm getting 2 guinea pigs next year!
This was very helpful! Thanks
We have a solo guinea pig, but we nurture him a lot and he seems happy and active, and loves floor time. He is on and off with touching though. Sometimes it works to go solo, depending on the pig’s personality
Sorry, I’m an idiot. I recently got another from one of my moms friend, and turns out my original guinea pig Is now leaving depression. Do NOT get a lonely one.
beautiful piggies, beautiful lady, and a beautiful little house!! x so cute
Aww you are such a good owner they love you so much
Thx for the tips love your vids
I got 2 guinea girls a few days ago, and it only took 2 days for them to get used to me! I'm sooo happy :)
I'm picking up my three male piggies tomorrow (brothers) and we got them from a family store and they have a very good reputation and also treat their animals like they're their own. I'm very excited
I have 2 little pigs and I just want the best for them and your videos really help
Frieda is still in my heart.
I have always loved her!
I love you Frieda
Hello there :D
I am studying Guinea pigs for weeks now, since I decided to want some. I researched on many german Sites and Videos, because I came from Germany (So sorry if some of my sentences aren't perfectly correct) UA-cam suggested me YOUR Videos and WOW(!) your Videos are great! I have learned so much from you and I think I am almost ready to care for them. 4 of them are preparing to come to me and I am SO excited! I built a terrain including a whole room because I don't need this room that much, so it will become a Guinea Pig - Paradise! :D I look forward to your Videos so I can learn more! Long story short ... Thank You!
Greetings from Germany
CorLeonys
Your videos are just sooo helpful !And I’m getting 1-2 guinea pigs
Thanks for this! In a few months me and my family are thinking of getting a guinea pig ❤️
Great video! Very informative for new owners. I watched anyway, even though I have had my piggies for 10 months now.
+Becca Boo :)
Little Adventures Can I just say that I find it so nice, helpful, and also friendly that you reply to people comments. Thanks! :)
You have the best guinea pig videos ever
im getting guinea pigs soon!! IM EXCITED
Great work as always Julia.
+Barbara Mudge thank you :)
thanks for the helpful tips for guinea pig I learned a lot from your videos
Great information for new guinea pig owners !
This helped so much! I was gathering info to get another gueina pig for my original Creek, since my grandmother kept saying no for an second piggie ! When I got Creek Pet smart said to only get one since they're not "social creatures" & my grandma said ONE. I FINNALY saved up some money and conviced her for another ^-^ I got to bring home Creek a friend! EDIT: Creek is so much active and trusting now!
That help a lot thanks 🙏 for the tips 😀
I'm getting a guinea pig in two days theses tips are very helpful
I got a guinea pig March 8, 2016. In 2018 I then realized my piggy was lonely so we bought another, we slowly introduced Each other . The other piggy is trying to become alpha and take over but my FIRST piggy knows better and if the other tries to be rude or anything, he knows what to do. So now they live in peace and are happy together and don’t actually fight.
I’m getting 2 guinea pigs so I have been watching a TON of you videos
I love sylvester and how he is always in his cozy
You've answered my question, thank you.
Great video. There are so many suitable vets now. When I had guinea pigs we just went to the dog and cat vet. That was when there was a big fight, Very serious invoving stitches! They weren't show stock, but travelled to the vet, all right. I will never forget, one of my pigs, was not in very good condition, and got a "suture abcess" she healed up. Finding a market for the babies could be a trick.
I loveeeeee you sooo much.....your my favorite animal youtuber
i love ur videos my 2 piggies r soo happy thank u so much (also ur voice is very calming does anyone feel the same or is it just me lol)
Thank you for The tips!
I'm getting two guinea pigs on Monday this video was great😀
Great video :) very informational!
+Piggie Palace thank you :)
Your so close to 12,00 congrats!!!!
My dad wouldn't let me get another guinea pig for a while I have another one now though. I introduced them slowly and now they're very good friends. They love their tunnels and they're always so cute when they fight over vegetables. Especially cucumbers. They LOVE cucumbers
i love your channel im getting a little guinea pig on my bday next month
