At 10:50 or so when you were petting Pecan and Little Foot came up behind her it looked like he was waiting in line for pets. ♡♡
Thank you for all your amazing videos. We wanted pigs for years but wanted our daughter to be older first. Now she's 15. We have 3 piggies. Be Be, Uni & Jolie. Without your help we wouldn't be taking care of them properly. We can do all the right things & spoil them in the right ways. You ROCK!
Angus looks so small next to Bullseye! It's so great to see more skinny pigs being taken care of properly.
I am watching all ur videos and am new to pigs. I don't see where I can buy liners, couch, square hide thing, all to match.
Hedgie Chin Small Pet Workshop takes custom orders for all that stuff.
Please show how you put your things away and everything you do!! Love ya vids
I love your videos so much!! And I was wondering where you got your guinea pig bowls. Like the ones that you put their pellets in.
Hey love! I absolutely love watching your videos as I just got two little baby girl guinea pigs 2 weeks ago. Where do you get their names on the wall from?
Beyond The Wall.
Where did you get the finding dory fleece 😱😍
Budget Bunny has some right now, it was from Joanns.
skinnypigs1 where do you get your 1 by 2 liners? I love you and your pigs so much! I have 2 girl pigs that are 2 years old. I watch all of your new videos as soon as one is posted.
skinnypigs1 would you please subscribe because I subscribed to your channel??
Skinnypigs1 you should have 2 liners
where do you live do you live in Canada I went there once I might go again
We just moved our piggies into fleece your fleece is very cute and I love your channel we put an absorbent pad in the middle
Whoa whoa whoa I saw some fleece I haven't seen before lol I love your piggies . Love how they are all so different 💗thanks for the info on the hay, I was just looking at a large box of ..... glad to know thanks.....cheers Abby
should i get fleece or bedding please help idk what the different it
I have a video on using fleece for cage liners, I recommend watching that.
Get fleece because bedding is messy and you will need to use spray to get poo out.I have bedding put I'm putting my guinea pig Skye on fleece
I'm seriously obsessed with all of your cage liners. I ordered some tonight! You are such a bad influence on me 😂😂
Omg ! Little Angus I haven't seen a video of him this little until now so cute !
Hi skinnypgs1 is guinea pig aeg the same as people or like a dog year's × by 7 year old and rabbit aeg is ×by 10 do you take guinea pig aeg and × that by what number? Thank you from Kathryn
I just got two piggys a few days ago and they seemed to get along fine but these past couple days they have been fighting alot should I be worried?
Hi Hi! I have two adopted pigs named Bucky Barnes and Captain America. Im planning on building them a two story cage with soft bedding on the bottom and fleece on the top and I'm wondering if you prefer Plexi Glass or Grids and zip ties, if I'm doing plexi glass I'm only doing it half ways up on the bottom, but I'm not sure. Its going to be a wood structure. Thanks!
@skinnypigs1 When you move all the pigs/Seymour. Will you still be keeping Calvin next to pecan and little foot? Since Pecan does like to check up on him and give him somewhat attention.
do you think i could build a cage out of a plastic kiddie pool with a wall around the pool as a temporary cage
In my guinea pig cage I have a layer of canvas, on top of that I have newspaper, then a towel, then a layer of normal fleece from joaans would this work??? Pls reply right away
Hello I have a question one of my guinea pig's thumbs are sitting under the other fingers and it's happening to both paws. I wonder if it's a sign of arthritis and I should get it checked out or is it normal because sometimes it'll be without their thumb under their front paw. Please reply as quick as you can because I really need some help. Thanks 😊
Hi Abby! I was just wondering if you come into contact or see many cuys in Canada? Cant wait to see the new piggie room!
Never seen one in person no.
+Kali Rentenaar I live in Canada and had the pleasure of owning a cuy, he was very friendly, but sometimes did not get along too well with his cage mate, they are quite a bit bigger then a normal piggy.
Multi Animal Crazy
Hello! I own 2 at the moment and they are very skiddish. They have both tamed down a lot since I brought them home. One of my girls would try to jump out of her covered cage just to get away from me because she was so scared. They are definitely unique.
You are such an amazing owner to all the animals you have!!🙂
Hi skinnypigs1 i love your vids and piggys I saw you had a lot of hey I didn't know my pig needed hay how important is hay do I need to go out and bye some?
In the description box is my video on hay, is near the bottom. It is 80% of their diet, in the cage at all times, so yes you will need to get some.
Abby you are doing a wonderful job with your piggies ! Iwas wondering why seymour does not have a friend ? Also is it optional for bunnies to live in pairs ? Keep up the good work love your videos
He was a special case that I had the chance to take into my home. He took a long time to tame and trust and I don't wish to keep owning rabbits.
I don't have thick fleece so is it okay if I put fleece a towel and fleece on top of the towel and some pads on it too? Please reply
I am having trouble finding a table for a 2 by 4 c and c cage where did you get yours
i cant believe how big huck got!!! he was sooo itty bitty when you got him. angus is sooo little and so cute.
Yes, he is a huge piggy now haha.
What are the dimensions in c&c cubes for the Midwestern guinea pig habitat ?
Hey girl... Just wanted to say that my piggies were jumping into hay bags as well so instead of hay piles I made a hay rack out of grids.. it was quit easy. two grids standing up for the feet...two grids for the back straight up... and two slanted in the front.. I tied them together with zip ties.. then put a piece of tubing where the back and the front meet to keep a gap.. zip tie some cardboard in the inside of the back grids and front grids to keep hay from falling out.. and you have it.. I wish I could send you pics of it to show you what it looks like because I dont know if im explaining it clearly enough. The pigs absolutely love it because with the front having a slant to it.. it almost acts as a cover for them to feel like they are not in the open.
So cute! Super happy piggys!
Thank you
was the farmers hey you got Stanlee with the green wrap ? or was it just hay from a farmer
Just hay from a farmer.
Under Angus and Bullseye's cage , with the two grid high stand, do you find the need for support grids on the joins? I am upgrading my boys' cage, and adding a two grid high stand,during this summer and was wondering if I should purchase extra grids as support on the back and sides.
It is all done with zip ties and is sturdy. You might want to just get a table for their cage though, is a lot of grids to make the stand with grids all around, 2 high and across the top.
skinnypigs1 ok thank you I may look into getting a table
where do you get all the cloths for the beding
Where do you get the fabric hay bags? I have a metal hay feeder that doesn't hold much, and the bags you have look much bigger.
Alyssa Adams You could always make one out of an old pillow case or top, saves money
You can get them from Momos Menagerie or The Guinea Pig Store. Links to those shops are in the shops I buy from video, should be in the description box.
10:45 the black guinea pig is like 'pet me too bitch' 😂😂😂 love your videos
You should make a video on guinea pig bloat and what do to because I have no idea what it even is 🙁
Hello there, another great video! I need your help/advice. Out of all of my pigs there's an elder boar who's currently on his own. I've booked an immediate appointment for the vets as lately he's been squeaking every time he's been pooping or peeing as well as that his poops seem weird shaped unlike usual and don't dry up like usual. What's your input on to what could be wrong with him? And do you know anything I could do as well as the vets to help him? He seems very distressed and I hate seeing my pigs in pain😢xo
Sounds like he either has a bladder stone or UTI. They should do an x-ray or ultrasound to rule out a bladder stone. Sounds like he will need antibiotics and pain medication (metacam is great). You will just have to wait though to see what they figure out, make sure to get an x-ray, that will show what is going on inside.
I'm interested in purchasing a C & C cage, but I was wondering with the uncovered cages if when they put their paws up, are they able to reach the top and jump out?
They are 14 inches high the grids, never had a pig jump out.
Maybe do a video on how old all the pigs are and bun and say there birthdays becuase I'm always wondering
thanks to u got my Guinea pigs today, and I was prepared and I know now how to take care of them. Thank you
btw, i have had a piggie before
can u please make a vid when u show us how is doing the new room ??? pleaseeeeee pleaseeeeeee
Hi I was wondering why you use fleece instead of paper bedding. Is it because of dust?
I love the fabric choices.🐹
Sharon
I have a video all about using fleece for bedding, link is in the description box.
Hope you can help me. I got a guinea pig last month. Mom sold it because kid didn't have time to take care of him. I made him a bigger home and made some fleece liners. I knew Milo needed a buddy so jumped at the chance to rescue another. Bandit was neglected in a small cage with another guinea pig and his brother was already adopted out. My problem is these two won't get along. I'm unsure how old either is but Milo has never been housed with another and he is the aggressor. Is there anyway to get them to bond?
Milo was with his first family for almost 6 months and he was bought from Petco. The lady who rescued and was looking for a home for Bandit had no idea about his age.
you can take either plexi glass or grids and seperate the cage into 2 so then each pig can still see and kind of interact with each other which is how i bonded my pigs when i had them, but make sure you check for signs of stress, bonding in this way can be stressful
Multi Animal Crazy that's how I have them separated now. How do I know if they are stressed? I'm covering grid with fleece at night to make sure they get good sleep. Bandit seems to wanna play with Milo while Milo wants to tear the grid down.
Highly recommend reading this:
www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm
skinnypigs1 Thank you! That was a great site. I already messed up as I didn't keep them separate to see if either is sick so I have to keep an eye on that but it is a new habitat for both. After reading that I think the fighting was just Milo establishing dominance and I separated them too soon. First thing tomm I will try again in a nuetral spot and rearrange this habitat so it will be different again. Thank you very much!
do you change your 1x2 liners under the hay bags in between full cage cleanings ? i find i have to change it out every 2 days or it starts to smell because of wet hay !
Yes, sometimes daily or every other day for sure.
where did you get your fleece bedding skinnypigs
My video on that is linked in the description box.
I was wondering if you have ever used bedding instead of fleece? I've known you for a while, so i know you have been using fleece for a while now, but I'm just curious to know if you have used bedding?
Only time I had any bedding was for litter boxes in the very beginning but seemed like a big waste because they all went to the bathroom on the fleece too.
where do you get your Vitamin C tablets and urinary support tablets? and also I love your chanel so much all your piggies are so cute and you're and amazing piggy mom!
Just google them and it will show places near you or online.
Baby Angus looks so cute against that blue liner :") ♡♡
Yes he does!
For Apple and Huckle you should maybe safety pin down the 1 by 2 liner. Then they can't get under the liner.
How often do you change their padding
I haven’t seen any Chew toys in any of the cages is that because the skinny pigs can’t have them or something?
This is an old video, I do like chew toys from Zoey And Lilo's Toy Box.
Oh ok just wanted to see thx
Skinnypigs1 how long does your 50 pound box last
hi im alyssa and i need some advice bc i need to give my 2 guinea pigs a good home i have given them a happy enough life on fleece there are no small animal rescues around me im having trouble finding them a suitable home 🐷HELP🐷
Alyssa Parham well tou can post on Facebook Twitter or Instagram about th m you can take them to petland that take rehomed pigs hope I helped
Alyssa Parham . Hi Alyssa, you might wanna check animal rescues in the nearest city. Hope you find a home for them. What city are you in?.
Alyssa Parham .....Alyssa where are you located?
Where are you located. I could be able to take them into a loving home X
thanks everybody you all were very helpful but i got suprised with a chicken coop for them to live outside😄
I need help! my piggies live in a hutch outside and dad wont let them live inside, this afternoon i went to feed my piggies their veggies, i opened the hutch lid and i saw a RAT sitting next to one of my piggies, it ran off after that! Have you guys got any advice on how to stop it from getting into the hutch??!!
Chelsea Archer How did the rat get in? Maybe fix any holes that the hutch has first and check your piggies for bites in case an illness is passed
Ok thx for the advice!!!!!💞 there are gaps between the hutch and the lid of the hutch! I have been seeing littler than normal poops in the hutch, possibly rat poops,I think my piggies may have made friends with it!
I was just wondering how often you clean all their cages like this? I'm trying to get a steady schedule of changing my piggies cages.
Twice a week and in between I change beds, bed pads and 1by2 liners under their hay as needed, which sometimes is daily.
New to the channel! Unfortunately, I've only ever been able to own four piggies. The first two I only had for a few weeks because of a bad breeder, but my second pair lived for quite a while. Heather passed last year, and my little Ginger passed just yesterday.
I've always used a cage with wood shavings as bedding, which I am used to cleaning. My question is how often do you change fleece bedding, and when do you do a more thorough clean? I don't think I'll be getting more piggies for a while, but when I do, I'd like to look into using the kind of cage style I've seen you and a few others use.
Link to my videos on fleece are in the description box :)
skinnypigs1
Ah, thank you! I'll definitely check it out ^^
Do you have a specific recommendation of a shampoo from Gorgeous Guineas? We have two American short hairs and one Abyssinian.
I'm not skinnypigs1 but I wanted to tell you that I use Gorgeous Guineas "Kind and Gentle" shampoo. I have all American Shorthairs. If you go to Gorgeous Guineas website they a chart explaining what type of shampoo they advise for various skin conditions.
I only use the shampoo for bum baths. I've never had to do a full bath.
love the my little pony print and dory print in love xxx and hello kitty so super cute xxxx love these videos xxx
Hey Abby I know you have made a video on Guinea pig noises and what they mean but when you where holding Apple and she was making that sorta squeaking noise is that a normal noise to hear?? And does it mean they are happy or sad?? Please reply becuase I hear that noise so much when I hold my pigs and I want to know what it means!! Thank you Abby and keep up the great work! You and your piggies are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I was holding her cleaning her a bit, that was a nervous, anxious sound. I have a video on my FB page of me holding her on my lap petting her and that is a happy, content sound. They are similar but the one in this video she was just a bit more high pitch. It isn't anything concerning, just her saying she wants me to put her back down.
Okay!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Can you do a guinea pig vid today I really love em'
Where is the best place to order fleece from? The company I order from is very expensive and they all may be however I would like some other options. Thank you!
Budget bunny or make your own!
Link to the shops I buy from video is in the description box.
How much were the liners
Is a 2by3 C&C cage big enough for 1 guinea pig? Also, have you ever had a problem with your guinea pigs jumping out, or into another piggies cage? My guinea pig climbs his cage but it's not a C&C cage, were going to build a C&C cage soon.
Lizzy 1029 you should have a friend for him, and a 2x4 is the minimum for two ginuea pigs, the bigger the better though.
BoA Kwon - Beauty, Health, Lifestyle I have 3 other guinea pigs but 1 is a female and the other 2 males fight so they had to be separated :/
would you recommend the breed like little foot or the breed like pecan?
Darian P You mean with hair and hairless?
Yeah whatever
Not sure if this might help, but one of my girls had the same bad habit as little miss Raisin. I changed the one hay bag out for two smaller ones with only one hole each. The smaller size made it look unappealing to jump into from the top and the one hole kept her from walking in and using it as a hammock. I've switched to these until my girls get a little older/bigger and so far so good! And bonus, no stinky hay piles! Hope that helps.
Btw, as always, you have the CUTEST fleece! 😍 Who did you order the finding dory and woodland animals sets from?
BudgetBunny has the Dory fleece right now and I am not sure about the woodland, probably came from a ton of different shops. Link to the shops I buy from video is in the description box.
Thank you! 😀
I just luv skinny pigs but I can't find any where I live. I live in the USA
can you show us the basement pleaseee
you should put bricks on the 1 by 2 pad so that the pigs can not get under there also it would help trim the nails
thanks im getting a guinea pig in September 24 im so excited ...5 more months from now
Hopefully you are getting 2, since they are to live in pairs or more :)
www.guinealynx.com/healthycavy.html
Skinnypig1 do you know that you inspired me to get my own guinea pig I just got my first guinea pig today and the dad is called pumpkin and the son is called Pepsi
+Lydia Goodwin thats so great you made sure to get 2 pigs. You should do videos of them :)
Do you shake off your fleece outside or into a garbage?
I shake it outside and recently have shaken the majority of hay into a large garbage bag or just onto the lawn.
skinnypigs1 Okay thanks :)
Is a 2x5 grid c&c cage big enough for two pigs?
Julia's Comfy Corner yes it is a great size
Julia's Comfy Corner Yes! 2×4 is minimum for 2 2×5 is min for 3
skinnypigs1. Can guinea pigs have broccoli? And if so how much
What did that sound mean that apple was making?
She was just a bit nervous. I don't feed broccoli because it can cause gas.
Brynn Dusbabek if you guinea pigs are on a full veg diet, meaning no pellets what so ever. And only hay, some forage here and there and veg then yes you can, but you want to give the guinea pigs about a month after you wean the pellets out of their diet, and if you feed them veggies only you would want to feed them about three to five times a day in incriminates of their veg. The reason why broccoli isn't recommended is because it causes gas when feeding with pellets. Pellets stay in the gi tract a lot longer (digestive system slow down kind) the broccoli would stay longer. Gas causing vegetables are a more fast-energy vegetables that need to be digested faster than other vegetables, that's why it isn't safe when given in a normal guinea pig diet.
I'm buying one myself cause September 24 is my bday and all the money I get for my birthday is going towards the guinea pigs..excited...
Btw you should maybe try to put a bed we're They go under the little thing and be and get sandwiched between 2 dirty things lol
where did you get the gas drops?
Any pharmacy or online. Just google Simethicone gas drops.
Thank you
Out of curiosity, do you ever have cuddle time with your piggies? Do your piggies like cuddles or being picked up? My guinea pigs love being cuddled and are very affectionate. It's interesting to see piggies who are tame but also don't enjoy cuddles as all the ones I've had have loved it.
Yes I do cuddle, I just switch day to day who comes out. A lot of them don't really care to be picked up but are fine once you've got them.
Yay! Can't wait for the basement
can you please do another morning routine and another cage cleaning? xo
How often do you change your liners?
Twice a week fully and change pads and the ones under their hay bags daily if needed.
Hi Abby I love love watching you and I am 11 years old. I have two guinea pigs one is actually a skinny pig named Jasper and a hairy guinea pig named Oliver . I stay up every night hoping to get to see your new uploads.
Thanks for watching!
also i will say i am VERY jealous of how calm your piggies are when they get nail trimmings. i dont know if you've ever had to trim hedgehog nails but it is NOT as peaceful ahhaha!!
Sarah Gill oh my Lord I feel you my piggies aren't happy about it but I can do them my hog oh heck no
its very hard to clip nails when he's able to pull his arms and legs into his body and become a little ball of needles ahahahh i have to do it as soon as he wakes up so he's still sleepy and kind of out of it.
have you ever thought of getting smaller small pets like rats or hamsters
Do you need 2 Guinea pigs if they were living be them selfs in the pet store??
www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm
do they have any toys in there cage?-
Is a 2 by 3 cage ok for guinea pigs?
2by4 is minimum for 2 pigs, more is always better.
Ok thanks
How old are u
Do you give them toys?
They will be getting fresh wood chews once we move them to the basement, just waiting for it to be finished.
hello have two pig don't both girl fight
yes yes yes I love these vids you do
can you do a video about making fleece liners? please..
Sidney Kreis she doesnt make them. she orders them online.
Kayla Rose I know I just want her to tell us about how long we should make them
I've tried farmers hay several times and whilst all my pigs are quite happy to eat it, I would find so much rubbish in it. Things like plastic and baling string. And bugs! 😫 Now I just stick to branded hay.
OMG yes love these videos 😂😂
i love you videos i subscribed🔔
and its supplies
hi
I love these
i did the math and it will take me 10 weeks to get the money for a guinea pig so i'm working extra hard to earn alot
blueberrymuffinC You should get 2 Guinea pigs because they are very social and can become depressed if they are alone.
i love you channel
Why doesn't Calvin live with anyone? I've wondered this for months now I just haven't asked lol
His brother passed away last summer naturally, I tried once to pair Calvin up again after and it did not work. Now Calvin is very senior, has bad arthritis and just does better without anyone bothering him.
