    My lil piggy died yesterday. He was such a sweet boy. I loved him with all my heart. The four years he was ours were happy ones. If you're reading this and have a lil piggy of your own. Give them an extra treat. Give them a kiss. A hug. A pet. Tell them you love them. Cherish them. Because one day you'll wake up and find them gone.

    My boys have gotten quite “comfortable” with my dog barking. They used to flinch and run for cover when she’d bark, but now they just go about business as usual. It’s interesting how they adapt to their surroundings. Impressive little animals! Other loud noises, however, are unacceptable! 😂 ♥️

    • @TheOrichalcon

      My older boy used to get really scared when he moved into the same house as my dog with the barking. Then I started feeding them at the same time, and my dog barks like mad before food time. So he started getting excited by the dog barking and wheeking like crazy 'cause he knew food was coming. My younger boy grew up with the barking, so he just gets the mega-zoomies when he hears barking around dinnertime.

      You can get a barber's pencil (styptic pencil), it looks like a piece of chalk but is has a minor numbing agent, coagulating agent, and antiseptic properties. If you ever cut the quick, you wet it and dab it on the nail and it will stop the bleeding and the pain for your piggy.

    hi scotty yesterday i surrendered to a rescue that came and got them my four female gunea pigs! IT WAS A HARD DECISION But soc sec cutting me kept me from caring and feeding them and if they needed vet care i wouldnt be able to afford it so after almost four yrs of haveing my piggies i let them go to have a life i couldnt provide for them along with thier cages and pellets and hay and a few others things i knew this resue needed! i held and kissed each of my piggies told them i loved them and to have a good life and let them go with many tears!

I am not sure why they like shoulders, it might just be as simple as they like the warmth between the chair neck and shoulders.

      Actually, my piggy loves when i rub halfway down his nose and rub back and forth with the pad of my finger. He closes his eyes and relaxes, continues eating while i do it, etc.
      And to clarify, I didn't just start doing that. I assumed they all didn't like it so i would scratch side to side, not up and down. But I did it a couple times to see if his reaction would be consistent and it was, he seems to like it.

He won’t eat or drink anything and he keeps wheezing. He also won’t move very often. I’m pretty sure he has a respiratory issue, but I can’t take him to the vet because my family is quarantine, is there anything I can do?

    How to: Get across your house without having to feed your piggies.

    Nate reminds me of my Mingo. My boys live on fleece but also have a “ cavy kitchen” with paper bedding where they eat pellets,hay and drink..... they are so cute because when I vacuum their fleece they popcorn... maybe it’s because they know as part of their routine twice a day they get veggies.I kiss and smell my piggies also.Mingo will let me just pick him up however Patch always has to go into a hidey. When Mingo’s cuddle meter is pegged he will gently pinch me with his teeth when it’s time to go home. Just want to say I purchased a chalcedony pendant from you and I love it for 2 reasons, one is because it is for a very good cause and two Is because I know it holds your sweet, caring and positive energy. I love you and Saskia and everyone that loves and helps these sweet little angels. My heart is so full of love for them and it hurts to see them needing homes and or not being properly taken care of. So glad you are all about educating about how much dedication and work goes into caring for these little guys. I had a co worker gossip about me once saying “I can’t believe she wastes her money taking guinea pigs to the vet for a check up. Love you!,❤️💖💕💗💓💓💓💓💓💓

They seem to be really happy. :) Though I could use advice.
    I bought the timothy hay and pellets like you said. They eat all the hay and vegetables in the world but they arent really touching the pellets?
    Im trying to give them all the love in the world and I wanna make sure they are cared for properly. Their previous owner had them in a really small cage with little room. :( I want to make sure I am doing things right

    I find it crazy how there’s people like this guy and then on the other spectrum you got guys feeding their pigs to snakes. Dude this guy genuinely really cares.

      Dude okay so when I worked a petstore the guinea pig owners were one thing but the snake owners were always super eccentric and weird looking.

    My guinea pigs aren’t afraid of the vacuum either. It’s so weird to me! 😂 Where’s the best place to get a big bag of pine shavings!?

      Scotty's Animals isn’t pine bad for them and shouldn’t you use aspen??? Every other source says aspen (including the dc guinea pig rescue)

    I think what you do is great Scott. You really inspire me to go all out for Gods little creatures. I look forward to seeing your videos and learning or re learning vital information about Guinea pig care every time I watch. Thanks again for all you do for these wonderful guys and furry gals. 💛💐
