This video is so old. Thank you to everyone for their advice. I’ve done extensive research. So I’m all good to go. A good guinea pig pro a this point. Benny says hello 💓💓💓
Guinea pigs need a friend they are heard animals. Make sure to feed it unlimited hay, a cup of veggies and some fruits not too much because its alot of sugar. And there are so many guinea pigs in shelters. You ever wonder why in pet stores why they are hiding? They get the guinea pigs (and other small animals) from illegal pet breeders and they live in poor health conditions. The only thing I got from the pet store is a water bottle. Pet stores give wrong information on how to take care of animals. All the cages are way too small in pet stores. I got a $45 dollar cage on Amazon that is the length of 3 German shepherds. You can build it any shape you want. Its so much cheaper. And its cheaper to adopt than to shop at pet stores. You can get 2 guinea pigs for 40$ and 2 guinea pigs at pet stores is about $50. I recommend to get the hay and pellets and healthy treats from small pet select inc. Remember get them a friend because their heard animals. Also do research! Guinea pigs arent a starter pet! They require delicate attention. Buying animals from pet stores is just encouraging them to get more pets from from exotic bad breeders. I know what I'm talking about. No hate!😊
thx for the likes lol
Also for cheaper hay go to a feed store/ tack store in your area. They deal with horses more but you can get flakes of hay for cheap. Also if you want cheap bedding try fleecing it is a 45 dollar startup but it is so easy to clean. Look on Pinterest and youtube for fleecing your guinea pigs cage. Also, you need two they are a social animal like us. They need interaction other than humans.
@@CinnaBearX Some guinea pigs like to be alone though,
@@boombam1141 ehh.. Guineapigs ONLY need to br alone if their sick, or dont get along with other piggies. So its not a need, its a matter of the piggies needs.
@@CinnaBearX I didn't say it was a need, I said some guinea pigs *like* to be alone. But your then expert here-
Some advice for piggies
Most cages at pet shops are too small
Try to avoid colourful food and yogurt drops
Piggies usually need a partner
Hope it helped
holy crapsicles that’s a lot of likes
Couldn’t agree more. Me and my girlfriend just got two piggy’s and got them the largest cage at the pet store. The clerk told us the cage would be good for a year as they are babies
We didn’t like the size of the cage, we felt it was inhumane. We got them a large c and c cage from cave 5x2 feet thats rated for 3 piggy’s. It’s literally taking up a huge chunk of my living room but we don’t care cause we love them and want them to be happy
@@SameerMalik-es5ij good! I’m glad you got a bigger cage
Yogurt isn’t good btw! They can’t digest it properly edit: I read it wrong Srry!
1:00 they had a iguana
That’s a chameleon
😂😂 that had me weak that’s clearly a veiled chameleon 😂
Omg 😂💀
XDDD
Omg 😂
ABAHAHHAHA
You should get more then one, since they should to be with another guinea pig.
some piggys arent good with other piggies, but I do agree at least have her piggy see if they do good with other piggys.
Some guinea pigs are fine alone if you play with them enough
@@statiegarey3697 No. A human being can never ever replace another guinea pig or any other animal for that matter. If an animal needs a friend it does need a friend in the form of the same species. Please don't share this dangerous wrong information.
Statie Garey no, a human doesn’t give the same companionship as another guinea pig. No matter how much attention you give them it won’t give them the same relationship as they would have with another guinea pig. The only reason they shouldn’t be with another guinea pig is for either health issues or fighting or something. If they aren’t with another guinea pig they will become super depressed and literally die.
Jikan Nenrei not all the time dome of them fight or when there sick they can’t be together.
Awwwww so cute,cage to small,they do better in pairs,but he is adorable
Ella Smith thank you. && he has a 8ft cage now. That was his first/second day with me. I bought him as soon as I seen him. I hadn’t intentionally planned on buying him. But fell in love. So I needed something to take him in ❤️❤️&&& Benny says hi🥰I’ll be buying him a buddy in the next month.
@@miyamarch Thank you for being responsible! I really appreciate people who don't get super defensive when you try to tell them they need a bigger cage.
@@miyamarch im just saying for if youre wondering boys require more space than girls because theyre teritorial
”Better in pairs” they FUCKING NEED A FRIEND TO BE HAPPY NO MATTER HOW FUCKING BIG THE CAGE IS!
10.000 subs with no videos challenge ummmm are you ok
i really appreciate that you didn’t disable your comments, and instead took the advice from them! a good pet owner might not do things right the first time, but will always do better once they know they are making a mistake !
That's too much when a cat get fake nails, lol
j cole right. Now I want to try them lol
Nah. It’s to cover the claws so they can’t scratch. They’re pretty but they have a purpose.
Yeah the purpose is torture imagine wearing a acrylic glove for ages just because people think it looks cute honestly I think it’s stupid and irresponsible why would you say that because now dumb people like you will go ahead and get them and torture there cats
There caps for there nails so they wont scratch kids
No dont bye those houses there way to small you can get a big cage off amazon for 62 dollars I know this cause I'm a proud owner of to beautiful guineas and unless he has social problems you should probably get him a freind because if you think about it what if you were in a room with nobody else that you can talk to for the rest of your life?♡
I hope you enjoy your first experience as a guinea pig owner. Just wanted to let you know tho you should stay away from feeding him any foods at pet stores with colorful foods in it and those “food mixes” their diet is 80% Timothy hay and besides that 1/8 of a cup of plain pellets a day. Also there are some fruits and vegetables that are dangerous for guinea pigs to eat. I can’t remember all of them at the top of my head but I would google them. Best of luck you’re going to do great as a first time owner!
thank you
Guinea pigs do need daily vegetables and this can consist of Romane lettuce, Kale, Celery, Cucumbers and a some small carrots
I recently bought one and it has two bald scaly spots that look like bug bites what does that mean?!
!? It sounds like your guinea pig either has mange mites or a fungal infection. Luckily both of these are treatable with a special type of shampoo. I would call your local vet and ask them tho just to be sure
Funny Fave I looked but unfortunately most of the veterinary clinics near me only treat dogs also if I were to take it do you think it’d be pricey
oh jeez, please do research before buying a pet...
Juhuuhy I have what are yu talking about. I was more referring to just receiving your guinea pig. Not for him to permanently live. I rather a person educate vs talk shit. “Oh jeez” is a form of shit talking & assuming.
Derp_Dog The Wolf look guys she knows what she’s doing. She got a 8ft cage and clearly she’s done her research.
Derp_Dog The Wolf if the animals from pet smart or pet co don’t get a home they’ll die ::/ you want them dead or in a better home tbh all pet anywhere needs a home doesn’t matter where they’re from they need a home
miya march I love how you did your research, but guinea pigs can’t eat nuts, or anything that have seeds, and they need a friend, and also when you get them DON’T PLAY WITH THEM OR BE NEAR WITH THEM! They are scared and nervous, you have to leave them alone at least for 3-7 days, if they keep running away from you, they are still scared! The cage is way to small, and please get him a friend. I feel like you didn’t do a lot of research, I hope you understand and don’t get that mad, we just want our piggy’s to have a great life! ♡
miya march but you need to have two guinea pigs. Guinea pigs are very social animals and no matter how much attention you give them it will never give the same relationship or companionship as it would have with another guinea pig. The only reason they should be alone is if they have health issues or if they are fighting with the others. If you only have one guinea pig they will become very depressed and actually die.
Guinea pigs do much more than hide. They are loving, caring, and sweet.
Those cages are way to small! Get a c and c cage for half the price. Check out Scotty’s animals and la guinea pig rescue videos for all the basic supplies and care!!!
Guinea pigs need at lease 8 square feet. Also those treats are fatty and bad for there health
Yes I said the same thing. I bought a new cage for him that’s a little bigger. & started to buy a rabbit cage. Ima look into what yu said. B/c I wouldn’t want to live in such a small space myself.
miya march check out la guinea pig rescue and Scotty’s animals for great info on health, etc. Very informative.
Jeannie Laduca hamsters are the same I think but they have them in such small cages😭
You are the kind of friend that I need to go to pet stores with. I love animals.Benny is so cute. I’m thinking of getting one for my daughter.
NO NO NO DONT GET ONE GET TWO THEY WILL BECOME DEPRESSED AND IT CAN KILL THEM AND ADOPT THEM DONT BUY IT PLEASE
Awww the cutest ♥️
Kurly _QT love him❤️
I love that she changed her cage and got him/her a buddy! 😊
he’s adorable!!! love benny :)
thank you for getting him a bigger cage and for getting him a friend later on and my guinea pig has the same food and he loves it good choice!
I love bearded dragon they're fisty and social lolol love this video I wanted to start a pet youtube but I suck at speaking and editing lol I have a crested gecko 5 fish tanks 2 cats 🙄 love to get updates on yr pet
You should get another guinea pig they need freinds their not like hamsters ❤️
Ruby Duncan well some boys like to be alone so it rlly depends
emmy lynn I had just one as a child and she lived for 9 years
@@emmylynn4667 interesting...I have two boars and I also wonder if its easy to have a herd of only boars. I have seen a lot of advice online that its a bad idea to keep a male only herd but since you have a herd I would want to ask you some questions. So I'll ask a few questions, but you don't have to answer them all, any answer is appreciated. First, are any neutered? Second, how big is the cage?(you can give dimensions or sq footage, or whatever measurement) Third, have you separated them before and if so how many times? Fourth, have they gotten into some pretty bad fights/arguments and if so how many(and how often)? Fifth, how old where each when you got them and how old where there cage mates when they where introduced(I am wondering since I've heard that boars who have lived together since a young age are less likely to fight when they go through puberty)? Sixth, are atleast two of the personalities submissive or non aggressive(I am wondering this since two guinea pigs with dominant personalities won't have the best relationship with one another and boars have dominant personalities often, so if you do have multiple dominant personalities in the boar herd how do you handle them?)Seventh, how territorial are they?
@@emmylynn4667 It depends on the "physical" humping and chasing is fine, and its completely normal. Just about everything in between from butt smelling to humping is okay but if its a real fight split them up
@@emmylynn4667 4 by 4 what? Feet? C&C grids?
im getting a guine pig soon, should u get the guine pig first or the stuff u need for it first??
As a guinea pig owner I say using fleece is way cheaper and easier then bedding
Malcolm Daniels i have both and phewwwww its alottttt of work
Where is that Petsmart located? I’ve been trying to get that parrot 🦜 but where I live doesn’t have it :(
“Look at this little man” 3:29 🤣
Hmm I'll try Guinea pig :3
A lot of people are explaining the basics but I wanted to give some money saving advice!
1. Buying Timothy hay in bulk is WAY cheaper. You can buy a 50lb bag of Timothy hay at tractor supply company for $20 and it’ll last ages. It’s standlee horse hay but also great for piggies, just store it in a cool dry place and make sure it gets some air flow! If you can find local farmers selling Timothy hay or oxbow hay then go that route as it should be even cheaper!
2. I buy kiln dried pine horse shavings at tractor supply company as well. I get the white bag and it should last an 8 sq ft cage around a month for $5 a bag. Or you can use fleece/toggle bath mats if you can keep up with the spot cleaning and washing it (I personally don’t like this method but many swear by it)
3. Not a money saver but I would recommend oxbow adult essential pellets and it should be replaced every 2-3 months due to nutrients fading over time OR you can get some child life vitamin c and supplement so you don’t have to worry as much if your pellets last longer than three months.
4. Have a scale to keep track of their weight and find out how to do home health checks, the earlier you catch a potential problem the less it’ll cost to correct it. I had a sick piggy two months back where the first symptom was weight loss, but it ended up being really serious and she’s still recovering. They are really good at hiding illnesses and weight is a great indicator.
Care Fresh mats down, soaks up water and leaves the droppings on the top for them to sit in. There is a pelleted form of paper bedding that breaks down and mixes with the droppings and gives them a cleaner place to live. I had to clean cages every two or three days, and could go much longer with the pellets.
The bearded dragon is actually very calm and friendly! They would only bite or nip when they fell threatened or scared!
Honestly I don't know why I'm watching this, since I don't have a Guinea pig
Your so gorgeous omg 😍
idk who your are but it’s so cute i might get one for my bday!!!
I have a guinea pig and I use the Midwest cage from amazon it super cheap and really spacious !
I have two plus a hamster lol love my babies
Shaye’s Life awwww literally I’m just learning everything about them!! He’s soooo funny && smart. I may eventually get him a friend. B/c I know they’re social creatures. I just do want the responsibility of two for now. Tho he’s really no work. I know yu love them❤️. I fell in love first sight myself 🥰
miya march Lol I love it they have some personalities lol, but they just want your love and attention. And yes once he’s used to you and his surroundings you can get him a friend. My babies names are the hamster is Bella, guinea pigs ... Coco and Cinnamon. I love them 😍😍🎄
Shaye’s Life awww I love their names. Idk where Benny came from lol but he’s soo bad lol soooo I think it fits him 🥰✨
Lol thanks and they act like their names, but that’s cute it’s different ❤️❤️
Shaye’s Life thank you & yes he’s still warming up to his environment. I think I’m going to buy him a play pin. B/c when I let him out. He just hides everywhere.
How long should I wait to take out my guinea pig?
It depend on when you get him/her you shouldn't take them out until atleast a week after you get him/her but even after a week dpnt immediately take them out, try to "piggie proof" the room and then open the cage and let him/her come out willingly, dont just pick them up as it can be extremely stressful. I know its hard to wait but it will help your relationship alot and help your guinea pig to trust you alot more. Make sure if you dont know what to do that you look up on youtube before just guessing. I find that the channel Little Adventures helps alot. Hope this helps
Llama in a Dimond Boat thank you so much. They have both been coming out of the hidey frequently. Also, I may buy a little tunnel to have them go in it and then pick it up, would this be a lot less stressful on their side?
how much do they cost?????
Didn’t expect to buy one either all my friend and I wanted to get was a dog leash and he talks me into buying one 😂
Benny!!! My brother has a Guinea pig named Benny too!!!
I have a guinea pig named Benny too! He is a Silkie!
"Were going to Petco!!"
Shows PetSmart building...
They really need to be in packs at the least 2
If anyone is looking for a decent guinea pig cage I would definitely recommend the living word deluxe extra large habitat, it is $127 on Amazon but it is so worth the investment. It will last you for years. I bought mine over a year ago and I love it! It gives 1-2 guinea pigs plenty of room to run around and has a remove-able plastic house/ feeding area. It is also super easy to clean because the whole top can be opened, which is my favorite part! Oxbow is my go to brand for guinea pig pellets, hay, vitamin c tablets and basically everything guinea pig! If you do auto ship on chewy it makes some of products less expensive. Also Benny is such a cute name for a guinea pig lol! ❤️❤️❤️ I have a guinea pig named polka dot who is 5 and 1/2 and she likes to give kisses! 😂She had a sister named coconut who sadly passed away in the fall. Anyway, Guinea pigs make great pets and snuggle buddies and I wish you and Benny the best!👍❤️❤️
How much diss he guinea pig cost
Do you know the difference between petco and petsmart
Hi Benny!! 💖
PetiteCavy Benny said hi back in his language 🥰🌹✨
You have to have at least two guinea pigs. Otherwise they can get really depressed and life isnt nice alone. No human contact can replace an another piggy :(
bro i’m so tired of people saying this. idec if i’m responding a year later but some Guinea pigs NEED to be separated. and not everyone can afford multiple guinea pigs. i have one single guinea pig and he is so happy. if you constantly play with him/her they will not be depressed. having one guinea pig is very possible.
@@chaniahhopings3270 yeah some piggies need to be separated but the basis is to offer a friend to a guinea pig. And if it doesnt work out, then they need to be separated.
Also if you cant afford to take care of the basic needs of a living being, you dont get to buy one just for your satisfaction and then neglect their needs and make them miserabld
@@user-hx8ee9ly3q my guinea pig is no where near miserable ☠️ like i said one guinea pig is fine. maybe you should look up videos of single guinea pigs.
@@chaniahhopings3270 well if your guinea pig didnt like company the of course it can be fine
It would be ideal to offer them that cause its part of theri basic needs
I love your hair
i would reccomend buying c&c grids off amazon as they are affordableand you can customize it
How much is a guinea pig???
Florida petsmart?
Everyone is saying stuff about the cage size but u need to have atleast 2 or more pigs or else they get lonely :(((
Keep at it
Almonds, cranberries, and the corn is not suitable for him and is not in their proper diet. The food you were buying is also bad, stay away from ‘mixes’ nothing with seeds or colorful bits, they need a plain Timothy pellet. The cages you were looking at were to small, guinea pigs need atleast 7.5 sq ft. Guinea pigs are also highly social animals and need a companion. Also need hay 24/7 :)
I love your UA-cam
No update video?
On chewy.com there’s a 63in long X 24in wide X 19in tall guinea pig cage for $114 including water bottle, food trays and etc
When we try to give advice but doesn’t heart those comments
Miya do you just have one ? Bc I don’t want two
I’m a fan
where did u get them and how much did they cost?? and u r so pretty!! u made a good choice on those pigs they r adorable😂😂
@christmas c thx lol. i was trying to convince my parents to get some😂😂
oh😂😂😂😂
if im getting a guinea pig do i have to have two because i only want one anyone has only one
StephVlogz I would buy two so they can have a friend ❤️
Awwww he is so cute! I know this video is old but I just wanted to let everybody who is thinking of or needs some help with there guinea pig. I got my first guinea pig last year. I didn’t know if I was even getting a guinea pig because I thought I was gonna get a hamster so I didn’t have much info on them but my parents caved and I got a guinea pig and did more research on what she needs. So a see a lot of people bathing your guinea pigs. It’s not good to do that UNLESS the vet said to. Also you should get them in pairs because with my guinea pig she was so shy and lonely until we got another one and they support each other and get a long well. So it’s good to have 2 or more guinea pigs because it is also easier then caring for just one.
Also PLEASE IF YOUR GONNA GET A PET DO NOT PLEASE DO NOT GET A CAGE FROM THE PET STORE 99.9% OF THE TIME THEY ARE WAY TO SMALL ESPECIALLY FOR HAMSTERS! Unless it’s a fish tank those should be alright. They have some on Amazon and I had a hamster and his cage was huge so we use that cage at night for my guinea pigs or maybe road trips but in the day they have a big pen to play in. There’s plenty of good cages on Amazon! Also rabbit cages might work to. But also make sure there no holes because if you get a pen there could be holes or gaps your guinea pig could get stuck in and that’s not good. Also watch the food they eat there are a ton of videos on guinea pig care! One of my favorite channels are little adventure.
tHaT A IGuAnA me thinking its a chameleon lol
A Midwest cage is great for one Guinea pig and maybe even two if you can get them to bond
Why do people always play with their hair when they vlog lol good video ur piggy is very spoiled ❤
I thought it was Pet Smart, lol
j cole I accidentally kept saying pet Co 😂
Hey thanks for doing you research and making the changes that you needed to, love you girl!! 💕 Also this isn’t me criticizing but might you consider getting Bennie a friend? Guinea pigs are social animals and can become very depressed if they don’t have a friend ❤️❤️ sorry love you sm not meaning to be rude at all sorry
hey i did just want to let you know that guinea pigs are social animals and need a partner. also they do need a bigger cage to run around and have enough space for a hideout:) Benny is so cute!!!
I couldn’t hear all of the video but i saw the they love hay.... they don’t just love it, they need it! 24/7 its what helps them with their teeth growing. Those treats are very unhealthy for them, oxbow is the best to feed (pellets, treats, and hay wise) c&c cages are cheaper and can be made much larger than any cage bought store or the midwest cage that amazon sells (i had that rabbit cage at first and it is NOT big enough!), and most all piggys do best in pairs.
this was posted on my bday lol
Can you do an update?
You should make your own guinea pig cage it’s easy and cheap
Yay pigs!
I never new the cages were that expensive,it the way I would have threw that guinea pig in a box for me box for me 📦 a clear one tho
I have a guinea pig I only have 1 and it’s a girl but my dad and me are planning to get another one
You are very pretty 😍 😘😘
Never listen to pet stores is the best advice I can give you
oh and bad food too great
Guinea pigs cant live alone!!!!!!!!!!
I be creeped tf out when I’m in petco or whateva walking past the snakes and spiders and stuff
Unrelated but I go to that PetSmart all the time
Also you are sooooooo underrated you should have like 1 mil subs
Get the rabbit cage that is big enough for one or rwo because they need alot of room to run even tho they are babys
All pets
So cute you should get another tho but I have guinea pigs to be honest they are boring...
Best advise is not buying from big pet stores, but rather qualified breeders or adopt a pet. They will also give you qualified advice for the care and set-up :)
Just go let you know, guinea pigs cannot live alone. They are clan, pack whatever you want to call if animals.
That animal that was called a iguana is actually a chameleon. They are great pets but some can be mean
Pet smart
I would recommend building a cage its way cheaper and bigger
You said what did I get but the title said it… 💀
1. Get a bigger cage please: C&C cages are the best! plus; if u did research, you should know that your cage is so small, that they wont have space to move, and if its too small, they WILL get bumble foot: SEARCH ABOUT BUMBLE FOOT. 2. they need to live in pairs! they will be bored without a partner, sure ha has u, but u arent a guinea pig so it aint the same :) hope this helped! also, try to previde them with: lots of toys and chews, LOTS OF HAY, and lots of stuff to cuddle in
How much does Benny
How much was Benny
Samaria Cochran $40 I believe
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍💖💖❤️🔥❤️🔥.
Search what can guinea pigs not eat and it’s gonna take you to costco it says guinea pigs cannot eat butter nuts or orange peppers
Hi, no hate to your channel but, the starter cage is way to small for even 1 guinea pig. I recommend getting a Midwest or c&c cage.
If you want to get good food then get ox box all natural guinea pig food oh and you need a bigger cage because guinea pigs like to run and they need space
As they get bigger u will need to upgrade to a bigger cage than a rabbit cage
Hey just a fyi the cage u were looking at is WAYYY to small 💕💕
DO YOUR RESEARCH
Expensive
I realise that the people in the shop may of recommended you these things for Benny but the sad fact is that it isn't what they need and as his owner you should provide the nessisary things for your Guinea pig.
you should watch the UA-cam channel piggie 101 or little adventures that's we're I learned what my guinea pigs need also get more than 1!!!
i know this video is old but thats a veiled chameleon
