The man who needs no introduction, the myth, the legend, Scotty!!🐹
hahahaah!!!! I need some kind of introduction: The man with guinea pig hair and poop on his shirt!
My 2 boys. My oldest 1 Teddy was 2 yrs old when I got a baby male. Hoping they would get along. But they okay in the beginning now they fight. They are seperated side by side
Yes !!!!!
Scotty: generally speaking two girls-
BB: EXCUSE ME, PAY ATTENTION TO ME, I AM NEEDY BIRD
What????
@@martinbrisson283 did you watch the video blind ass?
This made me lol 😂 love this comment section ❤

It’s very cute how adult male piggies love babies. Also BB has opinions as well
Every time a Scotty's Animals video is uploaded I click so fast my finger gets whiplash.
Oh stop! Is that you Butter Pecan?
Wow what's going on with all the excessive a** kissing between you guys lately?
@@We4redev0 LOL it is called being friends and supporting each others channels. It was a silly comment, to have fun.
@@We4redev0 you're just jealous!
@@We4redev0 are you the fun police?
“We’re in this mess together”
You’re the best! Thanks for all you do for the guinea pig community!
Take a bong hit every time Scotty says LA Guinea Pig Rescue. 😁
Or a shot glass
I can never get over garis floofy teddy bear face 😍
Wow! When we got our 2 boy guinea pigs babies they were from the same litter and they fought at first. Now they’re grown and they are best of friends. I guess they’re in the 20%. It makes it even more cute because they worked out their differences & now love each other.
I just reconnected my beloved mama piggy with a daughter she hasn’t seen in nearly 4 years. Her cage mate (another daughter) passed away 3 weeks ago, and she desperately needed another companion. Thankfully, they were in that 80%, and got along right away! I even wonder if they somehow remember each other. I made the tough decision to send her home with my friend, because I didn’t want my sweetie to be lonely. Best of luck to anyone trying to find a buddy for their fur baby!
Champagne Honeybee love your story. Mama + baby =❤️❤️
I have a female abby that refused all cage mates even when she was young n the females were older , same age, or younger then her. She even harasses pigs thru a grate! I gave up so she stays in a cage by herself but has a lot of human attention. She’s the 20%lol
BB just let's Scotty think hes overseeing the piggie operation. Well played my friend.
I love the affection you have towards animals, very heart warming. I have an adult male and a 3 month old and the adult male bit a part of the little guys ear off and made him bleed. I was told them being bonded together is over once blood is drawn
Adding my third piggie to my 2 sisters! Hoping it goes well. Researching right now. This channel is so helpful ☺️ thank you!
How did it go?
This is so informative. I had no idea the odds were so low with boys. My boys starting fighting after two months of being together, they’re brothers. I’ve separated them with a grid, but one of them keeps chewing on the grid wanting to get to the other. Im going to try to do a buddy bath. Thanks Scotty! Im learning so much from your channel !!
You are such an incredible blessing to the Piggie community, Scotty!!!! Thank you for all you do 😇
Scotty you have SAVED me !! Having pigs as an adult is wayyyy different than having them as a kid.... your videos have been so helpful!
Thanks Scotty your videos are always so helpful. Loved to see BB enjoy talking and giving us advice too lol ❤️😉
Hello, Scotty thanks alot for your Guinea pig knowledge! I check your videos before buying them. I followed and learned alot from your videos. Especially the bonding that i needed since I have two males. First interaction of bonding went smooth all the right signs and no bad behaviors. I got lucky! You are awesome!
Great video Scott! Focused, very informational and showing your style and love for piggies. Loved it!
Thank you Sol!
Thank you sooo much for making these videos they help so much! I’ve been wanting to get my little buddy a buddy and so glad I watched this before I made that decision ❤️
Love it Scotty! Thanks!!! Sharing this with people I know who have had bonding questions.
Me too!😍😘💘💖🧠
Hi Scott, all the way from Ontario, Canada! I own 2 special little boys that get along great. I have owned guinea pigs since I was a child yet I still learn things through your channel. I love these special little animals and all animals in fact. Than you for the love and kindness that you show to guinea pigs. You have a sweet soul and it shines through in your videos. Keep on shining!
Thank you for your videos!!
I have one female pig, Jasmine, who turned out to be pregnant.
One Saturday morning she popped out one boy and two girls! 🥰 Juno, Josie, and Jasper.
Jasper has his own cage that is connected to the girls’ cage so they can still interact. The girls have stayed bonded, but every once in a while Jasmine shows them who is boss 🤣
I recently got a new piggie, Fudge, who is only 6 months old. After doing some research I was able to work on bonding Fudge and Jasper. It was a success 🥰
Thank you so much for advising against bonding babies with adults. Social media is full of bad advice, “you can only bond brothers” or “get a baby for your lone boar as it always works” (until they become teenagers!) We’ve got 16 rescued boys of various ages (mostly old)& none are related.
We have got our 16 boars in a herd- I don’t recommend that to others though as it can be risky. Mine are very chilled boars now (like Saskia’s) and they live in a very large enclosure (or large room in our house in winter). I have spare cages for separating pigs if they were to fall out.
I love your channel. It’s great to see someone else with so many boars.
The Crazy Guinea Pig Family 16 boars in a herd? Are they neutered?
Only 2 are neutered (they arrived like that) and 14 aren’t. My original 12 have been together a long time without drama. I’ve recently added 2 special needs piggies (blind, head tilt and 1 who had a stroke after mange seizures) & 2 babies as they weren’t thriving without a healthy grown up pig to “teach them how to pig”! :) 3 weeks later and all is calm. Fingers crossed.
Thanks Happy Puppy, it wasn’t really planned. There’s no Guinea pig rescue in my city & I kept spotting sad looking piggies in “free to a good home” adverts. I have plenty of space.
That's a lot of boars in a herd!
@Happy Puppy Pink Cupcake Kisses truly!
SCOTTY!!! PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS WE ALL LOVE YOU HERE 🙏🏼❤️
I am so glad to find this video. I have worried about bonding our older boy with our new baby. We adopted him and he has been a single guy for over a year. As far as I know his whole life. After I dug into some research I found out they needed a buddy and adopted a baby. They have cuddled and moved around each other but the most aggressive behavior I have seen is our big guy expressing his dominance. It has been pretty smooth otherwise. I have watched your videos all evening. I did get the original guinea pig after my youngest who is 7 but mature for her age has been asking for one. I am taking responsibility for them both and I have seriously fallen in love with these little guys. Thanks for all you do for these fuzzy sweet pets.
Thank you for your kindness toward animals.
Thanks for this video Scotty. I've had a situation with 2 of my males Rudy & Zachary who got along fine when Rudy was very young. When he became a teen he bit Zachary in the neck, 2 very deep puncture holes required vet visits & antibiotics. So they've been separated since but living side by side, like Pip & Gari. I thought they could never be bonded again, but maybe once Rudy is older I can try to re-bond them.
Thanks Scotty soooo much for this GOLDEN info!! I had truly given up hope and felt disgusted at the prospect of ever having male piggies again. Now I feel more hopeful. My girl piggies are divas but my boys really make me laugh. They're all so precious!
BTW, I love that wicked tarot t-shirt!!
Noice
Scotty I have learnt so much from watching your videos. It's really been amazing! My 2 females ended up being a male and female and now looking at seperating my male from my girlies the moment babies are born and trying to bond one of the male pups with him for companionship. Praying it will work out
Great video Scotty, going to share in a group I'm in
This is super helpful and your voice is really soothing lol! I have four girls, in two pairs -I’d love to put them together but I get to nervous when I see them chasing.
Hello Scott, I have 2 adult bears from same family. They are very happy together. Thank you for all the information 🌞
Thanks Scotty! Great, informative video. Gari is so cute!!!! I look forward to more from your channel :)
I agree
Great tips! We might be trying to bond our lone boy with a new friend soon. He lost his brother last week so we're seeing how he does the next few weeks. I'll have to think about what pig personality would be the best match for him. You explained things so well and I love that you just tell everything like it is!
I'm sorry for your loss! Your boy will be ready for a new friend whenever you are. And we will be here for you. This might be a great place to ask questions as you Bond your boys
@@ScottysAnimals thanks Scotty! I will definitely do a video if we decide to try some bonding. We might go the side by side sharing grids route to start and see how it goes!
I adore your videos , I love gari ! hes full of personality so funny. I have 3 guinea pigs all girls so addictive . I think your doing a wounderful job :)
Thank you Christina! It's so nice of you to say and wonderful to hear
You are so helpful! I thank you so much on behalf of my two new piggies.
Just bonded two boys today. Your video was very helpful and they bonded.
This is actually a fantastic video I stumbled upon. I’m getting ready for some piggies in the near future, but I’ve had piggies in the past (which were boys). The boys did actually okay bonding, and I think it was because I had one as a baby, then adopted the second as an adult from a completely different organization. At first they bickered but then the two started getting along really well. I will say i never knew the girls would bond better, I had heard the opposite from one of the adoption centers so thank you for this!
WOW!!! Got all my answers here. Thank you so much =)
Holy moly I had no clue that my two baby boy brothers maybe wouldn’t be a match - luckily they are 😅
Their adolescent phase was a time but they’re through it and super happy 🥰
I AM NOT TYPING LIKE THIS TO YELL I AM LEGALLY BLIND, JUST SAYING, BUT ANYWAYS, I LOVE YOUR VIDS YOUR BIRDY AND PIGGIES ARE TOO CUTE!! (SO IS EVERY OTHER ANIMAL YOU MAY HAVE, AND YOUR VID WAS TOO FUNNY, I THINK YOUR BIRD WAS JEALOUS AND WANTED ATTENTION BTW "I'M SICK OF ALL THE PIGGIES TAKING THE SPOTLIGHT!" XD JK). I KNOW WHEN/IF YOU FIND NEW HOMES FOR THEM THROUGH IT'S GOTTA BE TOUGH SINCE YOU GET SO ATTACHED TO THEM...AT LEAST THEY'LL BE IN GOOD HANDS WITH YOU. ALSO, I LOVE THAT TAROT SHIRT, IT'S A PERFECT MIXTURE OF SPIRITUALITY AND A CUTE GUINEA PIG! I AM THINKING OF GETTING THAT SHIRT! :D PROPS TO YOU AND THE ARTIST WHO DREW THE AWESOME PICTURE BTW, I LOVE HOW REALISTIC IT LOOKS SO OLD FASHION IT'S PERFECT. :D P.S FORGIVE ANY MIS SPELLINGS AND/OR GRAMMAR MISTAKES IF THERE ARE ANY, THANK YOU. ^_^

@@ScottysAnimals I REMEMBER NOW, THANK YOU, SHE'S A GREAT ARTIST. :D
I’m illegally blind.
@@blingbling574 NICE TO MEET YOU. :)
Omg
I found my piggies on Craigslist. I rescued two bonded males. The are about 3 months old now and I have a them for 2 months. I absolutely LOVE them!!!
I love Gari so much!! I wish I could hold him. Same with Billy. I’ve never seen a cuy in person. Too bad they can’t come to the festival. 🥰
Gari peaking out the curtain is too cute. Why is he so damn cute! Little gentle fluff ball 💕
Another great video Scott, piggies are so cute love your accent too! 🇺🇸 Elvis has got to be my favourite obviously 🎵 🎸
Who's accent?
Scotty sounds like Elvis! ?
Scotty's Animals Yours 😊🇺🇸
Gary reminds me of a baby bison.
thanks so much scotty, now i understand why my boys have been fighting lately after 8 months of peace together. i maybe have to separate the aggressor and find him a new friend. i actually have a cage of 4 boys, one is a baby i introduced about 2 weeks ago. i think this may also be the cause of the newfound aggression.
We recently bonded two new girls with our two existing girls, it was intense due to one of our original girls super dominant, she even got into a stand off with our other original piggie who she was ALREADY bonded with and had never gotten into a fight with before, at one point I thought we were going to have to separate her from the others, she was pulling out hair and chasing ALL the others around relentlessly, it was nuts! I stayed up ALL night watching and had to break up 2 fights (between her and the other girl she was ALREADY bonded to before the introduction of the newbies), BUT, I'm so happy we got good advise from the Facebook piggie group and stuck it out, only took about 48 hours and our girls have been living peacefully ever since, they all seem so happy now! So if you're bonding girls, like Scotty said, even if it LOOKS ugly, as long as no one is bleeding stick it out, the bickering won't last more than a couple days, they just need to figure out their hierarchy, which I'm guessing is more difficult for them to do without a male around.
Hey Scotty luv ur videos!!!!
Thank you, Sherry
Scotty you are the best
I'm working on bonding two boars, they are teenagers. They been together now for about 5 hours they are having little disagreements so far.. keeping a eye on them. Love your videos!
Im working on boar bonding right now, its stressful
I’m working on bonding a spayed female and neutered boar.. little nervous 😬
i managed to form a good bond between two boys guinea pigs tied, my first piglet at 8 months was the new 6-7 months. Where we brought the new they said they wouldn’t get along with each other so we could only hope it wouldn’t. They both met for the first time in an unfamiliar area where there was little chasing but no fighting. About an hour later, they lay side by side in the same pose. They’ve been together ever since, there wasn’t a big fight. Sometimes they get together a strand of hay or vegetables. The big one sometimes chases the little one, sometimes they get together and there will be a little force pointing and going to click but that more serious fight is missed by luck. I don’t know if the fact that none of them had a partner in front of each other for a long time contributed to this
Thank you for the information :)
Great advice 💖
I love this info.
Great video scotty. I have an example of what can go wrong will go wrong sometimes. I teemed up father and son and after several months fighting started instigated by the son. They lived side by side with occasional interactions but fights would start. After the father died i decided to nueter the son and try a femail becouse he had always been the one not getting along. So i took in a rescue female that wouldnt live with other females. Even after weeks of being side by side there was a sudden explosive fight and before i could grab either of then she had her eye bitten through literally punctured. She had her eye removed and subsequent treatment for infection in the eye socket. She pulled through and coped fine with one eye but my boy developed a lump and this time couldnt take the aneasthetic and died the next morning. My one eyed girl then lives happily with a herd of three girls i got to put next to her so she wouldnt be lonely!! She got on fine and they all lived together hapily but what trauma getting there. I would endorse what you say dont give up but sometimes its good to be content with males living side by side. Well done scotty and lagprescue on recent evacuations. I live in england but have been following it. You all did an awesome job
Wow Christine, what a story, thank you for sharing your trials and tribulations!
Didnt intend to write such a long post but it took aome explaining. Thanks scotty
I'm sorry
BB just wants to be in th he video. He's been watching, he knows how to guineapig. There's always something to learn, especially that Pipsqueak likes to run away with carrots 😂😂 ♥️🐹🐹♥️
the bird in the back always makes me nervous next to the piggies 😂
Hi Scott how are you and your animals doing its Thanksgiving here love your videos have a wonderful day or night.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanks
I actually have two boys. And they have been getting along just great.
When boys Bond they do Bond hard! But it is still a miracle
BB chirps:“Scotty, you know what Kaye’s going to say about girl bonding .”
Hazel bit a hole in Lena’s neck and I was at the emergency vet at 11pm!
I would love to believe 80% but I can’t.
My boys, I have been blessed. They cry if their cage mate is not there!
I do have three that live separated by a grid for safety.
So I agree with a lot of what you say but it seems I’ve had tough cases.
Kaye's Guinea Pigs me too. I’ve tried for 4 years to get my three girls together.
I was able to bond 5 boys together.
Are they all from the same litter
tulip flower did you have to neutered/spayed them?
whoa
Hi Scotty👋....I just saw your video and realized it wasn't the best choice to bring a second boy from the petshop (not a baby but a younger one) and man....it's been the longest three days if our lives (theirs and ours) the 1st day was rough, lots of shattering, nose punching and chasing. 2nd day looked a bit better, yet lots of purring and threats and chasing from the older piggie went on but I don't know exactly how long I should wait until deciding wether to separate them or leave them together until nature does its thing. Day 3 sometimes they can take naps and share hay but the older piggie is always trying to limit the other one, for example watching him trying to get a sip of water or a piece of veggie would be enough to trigger him and chase him back to his hiding place, making him stay there 80% of the day(the older to the newcomer)
We're really concerned we don't know if the little one is being stressed out uselessly or if things will get any better.
TOTALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, THE LOVE YOU EXPRESS TO THEM AND THE CONTENT IS JUST SO USEFUL....YOU'RE THE BEST!! ♡
BB likes girl guineas ;D
Great Guinea Pig, that video was hard to watch, glad it settled somewhat.
That's a cool drawing :D good idea turning it into a t-shirt!
Still wish I lived in your country, would get ALL the piggies!
I'm sure there are guinea pigs in need Where You Are
@@ScottysAnimals Yes, and someday, I will give them the love they deserve
We have a 2 year old guinea pig (f). When we first got her we didnt know it would be better in pairs so we just bought one. So we decided to find a buddy for her just now. Got a 2 month old female guinea pig!
Informative and I got my Gari fix ❤❤❤
Our girls lived side by side most of the time because we didn't know their fights weren't serious. I wish we had this info back then! But they were always able to see each other and keep each other company at least.
(Also omg I'm flattered lol 😶 I hope it helps you raise good funds 😊)
Thank you Sarah
Cute picture Sarah!
@@skinnypigs1 thanks Abby 😊
I began the bonding process today with my new piggy and my other sweet piggy who lost her cage mate a few weeks ago. I thought it would go very well as the new piggy is extremely easy going, and so is my older piggy. Almost right away they were agressive with eachother, and started getting into. I am unsure how concerned I should be, as There was no blood but my older piggy did pull out clumps if fur from my newer piggy. It's been very stressful. I separated them each time, unsure how serious it was but I'm scared my older piggy is going to hurt the newer one.
Hey Scotty! Thanks for these awesome videos! A few days ago, I got a teenage Guinea pig for my loaner 5 year old pig. There is no biting or fighting, and they even lay down together at times, but the older one is annoyed by the younger one when the younger one sniffs his behind or try’s to get him to play, especially when eating. Is this normal, and will they be okay getting along?
Thank you ❤️ I just lost one of my male guinea pigs. I’m so sad but I know his “brother” that he left behind is gonna need a friend at some point. How long do pigs grieve for?
When we are ready and the virus has calmed down I really want to visit the sanctuary in Hampton NH to see if we can find a potential friend.
Hi, Scotty. My question about bonding is this: I have a neutered male and a female. They are litter mates and about 10 months old. I had Salvatore neutered on Dec 11, 2019, and waited 3 months before trying to put the two together. That was on March 11th. Salvatore just chased Tosca around, trying to mate with her. Tosca ran for her life and sprayed pee on Sal. That was only for 20 seconds. I separated them and have not tried again. How should I proceed? Will they ever get along?
did your pigs ever get along? in a similar situation right now and not sure what to do!
I got two boys last year and im not sure of their age but they seemed to be a few months old when I got them. recently they got in a fight and drew blood. there is one that is clearly the bully as he is bigger and eats more, and it made the smaller one bleed. it wasn't too bad but his ear was bleeding. I put a divider in the cage for a few weeks. today I did a buddy bath and then put them in a neutral zone with food and hay, and they seemed fine for a bit, but its been a few hours and im seeing teeth chattering again. I have a bigger cage for them now with two of everything. do I put them in the cage with the divider or just see how it goes? help please
Hi Scott! What does it mean if while bonding the piggi is trying to be dominent but at same time is popcorning as well
I can't get another geinea pig so what I did to make my geinea pig happy is I just turned on other geinea pig sound and he started talking as well and that was the best day ever
Hi scotty I have an awkward boar to bond with other boys he lives a few feet from the others and sees them through bars outside in their run I was considering neutering but the risk worries me we dont have decent rescues by me
Hi Scotty - I am trying to bond two adult boys - they can lie peacefully side by side (like Ying/Yang) and nuzzle each other, but when they separate, they teeth chatter and one of them starts shivering (NOT rumblestrutting, but really shivering like when you are cold). What's your take on that? Thanks from Pernille from Copenhagen
I have a 3 month old boy that I just adopted and a 1 year old boy that I already had at home. I let the 3 month old have time to relax to the new home and then I introduced them. Everything was great, lots of "talking" and purring but no teeth chattering. About 15 minutes in the 3 month old peed on the 1 year old, it made him mad. He started chattering his teeth and then the 3 month old started and they did face each other. No biting or lunging, but I got worried so I separated them and put them into their own cages to cool down. Should I keep trying? They were so happy until the little one peed on him. I am going to build a C&C cage, I can always have a divider. Just wanted some input! Thanks!
Wee Companions bonded our 9 month old boar with a baby - and wow did the baby grow up fast and all of the brotherly love! They live in the same room, a couple feet apart because the "baby" would try to bite the older one through the bars. Baby is now over 1 year old - Wondering if we should try re-bonding them?
Glad I watched this . I have a 2year old male piggy who has always been on his own..... Was the last of his litter! I'm starting too think of getting him a friend....I keep being told too have him neutered and get a female ! So it's interesting that you say it would work better with a baby boy ☺️ need too really think about if this will just upset my boy as he has always been spoilt 🤷
I tried to add my boy to three girls. Did not end well. He got bitten on his leg and stomach. When I put him together with just one of the girls, he bit her mouth open, so we rushed her to the vet. It healed just fine, but for now he lives beside them, which he seems fine with. He talks to them at times and popcorns, being active like a normal piggy would. We have been talking about making him a bigger cage and give him a baby girl.
neutered? It should have gone well.
Yup, neutered. My boyfriend and I was sure it would work, too. We were then told that testosterone would be gone from his body in a year after the neutering and to keep trying :/
The “anniversary” will be this january and he will be about 3 years
@@cbm_night have you tried bathing them altogether? Bath them, dry them off, have veggies together, bond in a large neutral area. Before trying that try swapping bedding and houses. So they all get used to each others scents for a few weeks.
@@skinnypigs1 We tried to the bathing thing a couple of times, but the boss girl really does not want to give up her status and he wants to be the boss. She will chase him around until he gets enough and someone gets hurt. The swapping thing is something we still do. He will end up trying to find them and call for them, but the girls look confused and get riled up with puff-up back fur and complaining noises.
@@cbm_night well sometimes personalities just don't match!
Im in the situation where i have two boys, they were so loving and stayed together for the first two weeks and now they are fighting, i dont know what happened they were doing good. Now i have them side by side
Hey Scotty I love your videos.
Since you are very experienced with boy Guinea pigs I have a question for you. I have 2 boy's. They are of the same age. Not sure if they are brothers but they have been together since birth. They are almost 7 months now. I guess their teenagers now. I have a feeling that they are starting to establish rank more now.
They are mouthing of a bit and chasing around. Sometimes they rumble around a bit. I have been checking them for bite marks. Both of them are free of any injuries. It's about 50/50 now which one is boss right now. Do you think that there is a chance that they will get along? Living in the same cage? Their cage is a c&c 2 by 4 grids.
Love from Natasja from Holland
Thank you!!! One of my males passed yesterday and his brother is alone. I can’t merge him with a bonded pair I have as it is male and female and the male HATES other males. So I will bump their cages up and let them see each other that way!!! Yeah!!
Man, you worried me. I got two baby boys before i found these vids. Did a lot of research prior too. They are in a 2x6 so hopefully they will have enough space to get through their adolescence. I'll get extra grids incase I need to split the cage 😢. Currently have 3 houses, 2 bowls in there.
I have 2 baby females from different places and am having to keep them separated as one of them always bullies the other one, will I be able to bond them successfully?
I got a boy, he's a few months old and we're considering getting another male piggie that would be only a little younger than him. I hope it works because the piggie I have now seems super bored (chewing on cnc bars and hide houses etc)
I have a piggy that has been alone for 3 years and i just got him a friend. Both are males but also both are kind of bullies. Is the 3 years of being alone going to influence if they will bond?
So true about related pigs. Even girls. Even moms and baby girls will fight a lot. Maybe not to a destructive degree but they are certainly not harmonious to say the least. + love the tarot design.
Hey! loved the video, i was just wondering your thoughts on one adlut male and one young male being bonded? i currentally have two boys seperated cause of fighting and wanted to get a new home mate for both of them but they are both 2 years old. what do you think is best for my boys?
I have an aggressive adult male who is a rescue and probably around five years old and I have a baby who is a little over a month almost two months and the baby is really mellow because he was the runt and I thought they would get along but when I tried to bond them, I was a bit worried because it wasn’t really any aggression but my adult wouldn’t stop chasing the baby and there was some mounting but I couldn’t really figure out if it was good or not so I separated them. I do think they would get along but I was worried to leave them overnight. Any tips?
Why do my boys love to live side by side (chat and hang out/sleep next to each other) but when I tried to have them hang out in a neutral area they had a rolling fight and the one had a mouth full of fur? (No blood) should I try again?
That guy loves those animals, lol. I rescued a herd of 3 about a month ago. A mommy, a daddy, and a baby girl. I am going to likely end up with two more girls for a bit, so I needed to know how to do this. I am making all the cages myself because I have a ton of space for them in my large basement. I'm working on a design that is mobile and keeps the guinea pigs safe from predator animals so they can free range a bit when the weather gets warmer. :)
Hi I have two boys 1yr 3 mos who've I've had for several months now and decided to get two more boys 11mos, when I bond them do I do 2 and 2 or all four at once ?
I have a bonded pair of boys who have been together nearly a year. One is currently sick and per the vet’s advice I’ve had to quarantine him in a different room. I’m worried such a long separation could break their bond. Any advice?
Hi! This video was so helpful! I had two boys and one recently passed away, I was wondering how long you should wait till finding them another friend?
I’m in the same boat as you one of my boys died a month ago so we’re getting our boy neutered tomorrow and then looking to get 2 girl companions for him
This helps ALOT
My two adult males that are brothers seem unhappy since the dominant one likes to chase the other male and he also chatters his teeth as well..... any advice?
Having so much trouble with a new baby boy Rocky, in with our 3 month old brothers Cook and Donut. Thought I was doing the right thing adopting him from a friend. Rocky will eventually go to my nephew, but he has actually caused issues with the 2 brothers, who usually love each other! So stressful! rocky is now separated, but next to the other 2. They all seem a bit sad now though :(
Just love you!
We love guinea pigs and we love you- The Forry Twins Jackson and Natalie
Have you heard of two girls bonding and love each other for two years and then all of a sudden one goes full on Mike Tyson on the other? Like chunks of ears are missing now. We had to separate ours because of it. But they still have “sister time” together every day we just limit the time now.
Check her for ovarian cysts at the vet. Hormone changes from that can cause sudden temperament changes.
I cannot claim to be an expert on girl guinea pigs, luckily we have skinnypigs1
