  • We have been asked to do a Video on our weekly weighing of our Guinea Pigs - so here it is. We have had a good think on what we think are the benefits of weighing ours and we want to share our thoughts with you.
    We've also added a couple of extra points and also explained how we weigh them......which is just an opportunity for Mercury to look VERY CUTE indeed ! This wasn't posed.
    We started weekly weighing ALL our Guinea Pigs from October 2018.
    We recorded this on Sunday 16th June 2024 : we thought this would be both an interesting and informative video to show everyone. We welcome ALL Questions in the Comments - we'd love to know if you also weigh your Guinea Pigs - please do tell us in the Comments ?
    We hope this video is of help to you all - and if you found it of value - please do Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe. Thank you all so much.

      Our pleasure! That is awesome - even every fortnight. I weighed all ours even when we briefly reached 37 !!! That was only for a few weeks, but took ages..........
      I shall inform camera-lady that her efforts were appreciated. She moans like crazy when I ask her to film, but it is better with the two of us bouncing along with the banter ! We are both SO PLEASED to help - that's what it is all about - everyone learns tips and info from everyone. We've picked up tips from our Subscribers - this is what we want on our Channel. once again, thank you.
      Would be awesome if we got 500 views on this video.....

    Great video, great tips!! Your piggies are SO CHUNKY, LOL, I got a scale at Bed Bath and Beyond for a bit over 15.00$, U.S., and it's a great Sharper Image brand. Very easy to do, and they get used to it too! How sweet their faces are, you're a great owner to do educational videos, you can really motivate owners, especially younger teens, to properly care for piggies! Grass eating piggies are very healthy, I heard that from another rescue, and it seems to be true! As you also just said, it's very nutritious. I love the ginger and white PIGGY, and the blonde lilac, just gorgeous and so gentle looking!

      That is utterly AWESOME !!!!!!! Wow, 6 boys. I took Figaro in to see my wife when he got picked up off the grass, he got a chin tickle !! Weighing is a good thing to do. I used to do it for 6 years or so when I had Guinea Pigs many years ago. Figaro is quite cheeky as well.

      Mercury is sensational with her colours - and she is the mum of Storm !
      If you check out our older Shorts dated 2018/19 - you will see a grey piggy called Plato who looks very similar to Mercury.....she was the Great Grandmother.
