    LOL I totally get the whole "how hard it is to bond the pigs".. we started with one, learned needed to get another, they didn't get along so then we had to go get TWO more so they both had buddies... it's a thing :D But I wouldn't trade a single piggie, and we are super happy with our little pig-kids :D

  • @ellejones90

    Completely agree that they are not for children and they are not low-maintenance but I think they can be a starter pet for adults that are looking for "non-conventional" pets. I always encourage friends to consider them because there are more pet options than just dogs and cats out there! If you have the means (exotic vet bills are so expensive!), space (why do they have so much STUFF?), some flexibility, and patience to learn how to properly care for them they are so worth it! The amount of joy they bring is incredible and learning their personalities and food preferences and getting them to trust you is so much fun!

    • @GuineaPigJungle
      @GuineaPigJungle  2 роки тому

      Yes totally agree! A great starter pet for adults. I think they are great pets for kids as long as the adult knows they will be doing all the real care and having to pay for all that is needed. They are great for people who are scared of dogs or are allowed to have dogs where they live. Such social little buddies!!!

    Thanks for taking the question about going on vacation. I just went away for a week and it was the first time I left my girls since getting them (three piggies, three mice). It took me ages to find a pet sitter in my area who was comfortable taking care of small pets. It cost $560 on top of my vacation but worth every penny. The sitter posted pics and videos everyday so I could have peace of mind that they were ok. If I hadn't found her I wouldn't have had a vacation. Now I just hope she never moves away!

    Hopefully the cellist sees this comment! I am a bassoonist and I practice relatively close to my five pigs, and none of them seem to really mind it (one will even come nap in the corner of their enclosure closest to me while I practice). The most recent two were a little spooked by it at first, but acclimated really quickly. I don't notice much of a change in reaction based on level of pitch either.

    I took over care of my 6 yr old nieces piggie because of the reasons you stated in the beginning! Long story short he was not being taken care of the way he should have been. I live with my niece temporarily and stuff so I just built him a 2x4 c&c cage and got him proper hideys, food and hay and veggies. Slowly working on hand taming him more and more but waiting till I move and get him another piggie friend before I really work on hand taming him. But I’ve absolutely fallen in love with him and guineas in general. I’m already making plans to upgrade his cage stuff i hate it but love it lol

    I litter trained 3/6 with sandbox other 3 are just babies and haven't started training them yet. I trained them by first picking up poop and putting it in the box myself. I use a cardboard box so it can be replaced and aquatic silver sand or reptile sand is best its not always possible to do so as every guinea pig is different but worth a try for hygiene reasons.

    I have 1 piggy...PLEASE DONT SHOOT ME! Lol
    He was a gift to my kid, again don't shoot me. I didn't get him, my kids grandma did.
    After LOTS of study time, I have now got the right cage (and even though it's good size and says for 2 piggy's, I'm making it a bit bigger soon. It's fun)
    We are also looking into getting another. I'm just nervous, because cinnamon acts fine. He's out all the time when we are home, so all evening. He plays with our 3 cats. He eats next to our hamster when we do veggie time.
    So I know having a buddy is good for him, just nervous about bonding.
    And the pet store tried to get the girls grandma to get 2, but she thought it was their way of making a sale and clearing out a cage 🙄
    Also he was a snuggle buddy from the start! I have tons of those cute pics. He truly sleeps on us. Eyes closed and all.

    You're my favourite potato farmers; you're definitely "normal" (my idea of normal, anyway) - so funny, but informative and I love you aren't afraid to go off on a tangent and discuss other things and take us on an adventure. I've had guinea pigs before but I now realise I did so much wrong.
    TLDR;
    My first guinea pig was my gf's. She (the piggie) lived in a 3' square fish tank on her own with nothing but a food bowl and a water bottle and was fed only pellets - literally every thing you could possibly do wrong. The first time I met the piggie, my gf said "don't get used to her; she's very old and won't live much longer." I'm glad to say she lasted longer than that relationship (3 years), had her living space and diet vastly improved, got companions and even had a baby. Still did so much wrong (be kind!), but much better.
    I'm older and wiser now and now I'm retired I've decided now is the time to adopt some piggies. I've recently spent over £2,000 ($3,000) preparing to adopt up to six pigs with luxury outdoor run/living space for the summer months (too cold/wet in the UK to live outside except in summer) and 3x large (12' square) hutches indoors. The run is an approx 12 foot (3 metre) diameter dome with underground tunnel system, an en suite edible garden and converted chicken coop sleeping area. I live adjoining woods, so although my garden is secure with 7' fences, it's totally predator-proof against foxes, birds of prey, rats and cats. It would take a very determined large dog or a human to have a chance of breaking in and I have dedicated 24hr CCTV and a big stick!
    I'd love to know your opinion whether it's wise to adopt 6 pigs all together and introduce them in one go and whether having a neutered boar and 5 females is better than 6x females? Bear in mind that for most of the year, the piggies will be in pairs in hutches until I can improve the situation (remodelling my whole house) and have a permanent indoor area for the whole herd as one group. I don't want to confuse and cause problems with the pigs by constantly separating them and putting them all together temporarily. I question the logic of adding newcomers piecemeal to an established group that then disrupts the whole herd rather than starting the group on an even level and letting them (supervised) sort out the heirarchy.
    It may sound what I'm planning is chaotic but I have put a lot of time, money and thought into this and I am fully committed to doing what's best for the pigs that I'm going to adopt in about 6 months. Thanks for reading.

    I my two kids two Guinea Pigs, well, I got them for me, but also them 🤣 my son can't really help much on his own, he's 4, he is disabled and is still working on getting around with assistance. My daughter, 5, "helps" feed them, I do all the work. However I got them knowing that would be the case, at least until my daughter gets older, and I can give her the appropriate amount of responsibility for her age. So to others moms: if your kids are young- you will be doing all the work, don't expect your toddler or Kindergartner to be able to take care of them. Lol.

    I got my first pig in 2020 cause my bsf got a cat and I was like omg I want a Guinea pig and when I tell you I had no idea how to care for a piggie I mean it, i thought a Guinea pig was the size of a hamster.... but a month later my mom took me to the humane society and i got my 2 year old neglected rescue pig, I named him opie!!! He is the "average" calico American shorthair skip to a few months later my moms coworker got two female pigs and wanted to breed hers w mine but before we could breed them one of the girls died unexpectedly, vets don't even know why but skip to 2022 opie and bonnie are happily married (the same bsf that got a cat helped me set up a wedding for them), three batches of babies each batch has three babies(second batch had to stillborn) and one miscarriage of four later we are all happy and I did it ALL by myself at the age of 11 to almost 13, many people have tried to put me down throughout the journey because of my age but I think I'm quite independent and mature and yes i agree Guinea pigs shouldnt be given to a small child as a gift but I put my blood and sweat into these smelly hairballs and proved all those haters wrong!!

    Hey! So I haven’t been 12 for a bit but I have two guinea pigs in a Midwest and they get a lot of floor time, (Ik Midwest is pretty small but I keep them in my room so I can’t have a huge cage and I can’t keep them out of my room because of my dog) so I cannot clean there cage everyday since I keep them at my moms house but I go to my dads house too. I use fleece for the bottom of there cage I want to use guineadad liners but they are a lot of money. So since I’m not with them everyday (but I am most of the time) I’ve been searching a lot for fleece/liners that are good and don’t cost to much, what do you recommend?

    For the person who asked about your piggie choking on their veggies. It’s not bad but if you want to prevent that from happening, I have a pig that chokes on his veggies and I started cutting them up to slow him down when he eats, it works wonders cause now he’s not eating large portions too quickly but smaller portions slower. 💜I hope that makes sense, but yeah try cutting up their veggies, it worked for me.

    Hi! I'm aware that this is more of a personal question so you do not need to answer me. But just in case you would like to share, may I ask why you had the surgery? You mentioned being in pain daily? I'm asking because I suffer from endometriosis and my life does not even feel worth living anymore because of all the pain. But since I'm "only" 30 years old the doctors do not agree with doing a hysterectomy because "I might change my mind about having kids in the future". I won't. I have my fur babies (6 guinea pigs) and nieces, that's enough for me. They do not listen. I'm so tired of not being heard! I was just curious to what was the reason they agreed on the surgery for you. You can't be that much older than I am, right? I'm sorry if this is a weird comment, I loooove your channel but I didn't know you had this particular surgery. When I watched this video now (binge watching all of your videos right now because I'm in pain and can't sleep) I just felt like I wanted to write a comment about this. Nights like these are hard and I don't know, this video somehow made me more positive. I wish for a life with less pain too! Anyway, thank you for being you ❤️

    • @GuineaPigJungle
      @GuineaPigJungle  Рік тому +1

      Hi! I’m so sorry to hear about your pain! Was the doctor who refused to give you a hysterectomy the same doctor you did the procedure to find out that you have endometriosis? Typically once they go in endoscopically to determine you have endometriosis they will either recommend have surgery to scrape/remove the endometriosis. Which is what they do for women who still want to try having children. Or they recommend you have surgery to remove the organs that are infected with endo. I was 37 when I had the surgery. I never did the procedure to determine If I had endo. I had such a series of issues from excessive blood loss that caused anemia, polyps, and severe pain. My doctor did MRI’s and uterine ultra sounds and from what she guessed from the images she said I probably had adenomyosis which most times if you have that you also have endometriosis. But the only real way to diagnosis either is cut you open and actually see inside. My doctor is who recommended I have a full hysterectomy (I do have my ovaries). Once she Was in there i did In fact have both endo and adenomyosis. I also had a endometrioma on my right ovary with they were able to remove so I could keep my ovary. It’s very important to keep the ovaries if you have not yet gone through menopause. But if the doctor who diagnosed you with endo and did the procedure and still won’t agree to do any type of surgery I suggest you switch doctors and find someone who will listen to what you want for your body. Life without a uterus has been the best thing ever. (I had my uterus, cervix and Fallopian tubes removed) I wish I had done it years ago. I truly feel like I got my life and body back. I wish you the best of luck finding help with your situation and get the peace for your body you deserve.🐹🙏🏼✌🏼

Yes I more meant that parents will have to be willing to pay for what piggies need and not all parents understand what goes into proper care for guineas pigs and how much they actually cost. Which is why I don’t suggest them be a child’s pet if they aren’t aware/willing for all the costs involved/ doing the laundry/ trimming nails and doing health checks/ weighing them/ making sure you have a vet that sees exotic animals. 🐹✌🏽
