    I take my piggies every 3 months for a health check and nail clippings and everything at the LA Guinea Pig Rescue and they have on site vets there with X-rays and stuff and I love them! They are always so helpful with diets, bonding, literally anything. I’m blessed to live within 30 minutes of them because they do it for free, and X-rays are $75 and all my local exotic vets charge $75-400 just to see them :/ so I’m super blessed that they do that and make sure that you always schedule a health check.

      Yes. They absolutely go above and beyond and care so much for these little animals. They even help with the fungal feet because they say it’s actual pretty common since piggies like to lay where they poop and pee, so they often give great tips and medicine to rub into their feet to stop the spreading. They even offer pellets and hay and hides for purchase too. Ughhhh I just love them! And love you and your piggies, they’re adorable!

    I have a custom cage we built that is 3 feet by 10 feet with 6 girls currently. Two thirds is fleece, and that last third roughly is a tray with a couple inches of wood shavings. The hay is in the tray area, while the comfy homes are at the other end. I am hoping it's big enough for them, but I get to see them everyday as they are right behind my computer station. The daily interaction really is key for picking up on any issues or subtle changes for me. Currently I have 3 of my ladies fast approaching 5 years old!

    I will say as far as vets, it's worth asking a vet if they would take guinea pigs even if they are not an "exotic vet". My pig had a lump in her throat and I asked my vet where we've taken our cats for years if he'd see her and he said sure. He gave her a successful surgery to remove a tumor for less than $200, it worked out great!

    Thank you for a very important video! I think a lot of people just don’t realize how much vet visits can cost. One of my piggies got sick during the weekend and I had to take her to the emergency vet. I had to pay $300 to even see a vet and then $250 for an ultrasound, $100 for a urine sample and an extra $40 for the medicine. A total of $690. Important to have money saved up for your pets 😅

    David is your best pig.❤️
    I think Davids tend to be awesome in general, but I have an obvious bias. 😅
    I don’t remember Henrietta giving birth when I was a kid. But I did see a video in adulthood of a guinea pig giving birth. The birth itself seemed quite untraumatic for her. One squeezes out, she eats the goo off him, another squeezes out, etc without any screaming or other signs of distress. I was rather surprised, given that human females seem to have quite a different experience.
    I don’t know what “little horny Toledo” means, but David was probably glad to be one back in the day.
    “All my males are neutered, even Josh.” Good man getting the snip. 👍

    • @GuineaPigJungle
      @GuineaPigJungle  2 роки тому +1

      Haha Davids are pretty great!🤣😍❤️
      I’m just thankful I have at least one piggy that loves human affection🥰 so he gets a lot of it since almost all my other prefer to be left alone. David will actually come to his door and scream at me to pay attention to him🐹😂🥰 he’s so funny.

    At the end of Dec. I adopted a bonded pair from the local humane society, Beetle (all black) and Cocoa(Chanel)(all browns). My previous piggie Bailey passed last summer. I’ve had many consecutive pugs and a few lived 8-9 years. It’s funny how the new ones have different likes with food. One like strawberries the other doesn’t. They love romaine but too much softens their poop. Carrot ribbons and cucumbers are loved but kale and peppers not so much. Oxbow Simple Rewards hearts are very welcomed. I’m training them to wheek when I whistle and stand on their hind legs once in awhile for treats. I must be doing ok cuz then run around popcorning in a big playpen. 🥰🐹🐹 great video. My advice is handle them a lot and touch paws, ears and bellies.

    Hi Sarah...I just watched another of your videos about the piggies outside in a new enclosure....my question to you is about flea inhibitors...a pet food shop told me, to never use flea drops or flea baths, but instead to use 'DiatomaceausEarth' which is an all natural fossil shell flour. It is digestable for my girls but will kill any fleas. Have you ever heard of this, and what your thoughts are . Thankyou...love your videos

She has piggies herself🥰 Fin and Feather is where I go when I don’t order things online. But I do mostly order their food and such from chewy bc one of the pellets I buy they don’t sell at pet stores. Hope this helps!💖✌🏼
