    When I think back to my first ever piggies 30+ years ago, I know I loved them fiercely and did the best I could at the time. But my goodness, the difference in quality of life for my piggies now! There was no googling “how to take care of my guinea pig” back then and I had to check out books from the library instead (that weren’t exactly numerous or accurate). I guess I didn’t do that bad since my first ever piggie lived 9.5 years, but I’m pretty sure that was 90% good genetics. Thank you Scotty for being a fantastic piggie knowledge source!

    Great video! When I got my Harriet, I was dizzy and overwhelmed. I wanted to do right by her and care for her and who do I find?? Scotty! I went through your videos, communicated and then I found Saskia, but you were the first. There is so much support and your lives are fun and yes, patreon is such a fun way to exchange pictures and get to know everyone! Oh and your shop---love and the best thing is that it supports and brings awareness to our beautiful guinea pigs!

    ❤Thank you so much for your channel! A lot of people who ask me about owning them, are surprised when the costs and list of certain needs they have are revealed! I recommend your channel to them and your ownership guide. I am grateful for your channel and sharing knowledge for their care.❤

    Great Care Guide video, Scotty! Every potential guinea pig owner should have to watch this before they get guinea pigs. There is sooooooo much people need to know about having g-pigs.
    I live in a town with poor quality veterinary services for exotics. And the cost for just walking in the door is over $100. There is no good quality hay available in my area either. I have had to order it online and found lots of really bad hay out there. I did find a brand called Standlee that is in Idaho!! Their Orchard Grass hay is very good. (Their Timothy is not...mostly sticks in that kind)
    ~I guess my advice to anyone thinking about getting a guinea pig for a pet...in a nutshell: these little guys are fragile, prone to getting sick (due to inbreeding), and very expensive. Be very aware of what your town has available for your guinea pig(s) BEFORE you bring one or more home~
    I've been a guinea pig owner since 2000. It's been fun. It's been challenging. It's been heartbreaking.

    • @ScottysAnimals

      Thank you for sharing your experience. I have made numerous videos about Standlee because they are in Tractor supply. This video is meant to be a starting point. There's so much more information in the free guinea pig care guide on my website and in my playlists

    Scotty! Love the channel! I was left a Guinea pig that was just supposed to be a visitor but ended up staying and I took her in for me and my son as family and we love her! Eldorado is her name! Anywho I wanted to purchase a hoodie and noticed you have Guinea pig mama but do you have one that says Guinea pig daddy?

    Dear Scotty we have found ourselves with a single male teddy who is quite rumbunctious and looks like Garri just with a few white flashes. He is 18 months old would you try and get him a cage buddy?

    • @ScottysAnimals
      @ScottysAnimals  5 місяців тому +1

      Yes absolutely! All guinea pigs should have a companion even if they are just side by side. Please go through the bonding section and also look for a rescue near you which will give you the best opportunity for a playdate and bonding

    Fun fact: the Hungarian word for guinea pig, “tengerimalac” literally means “sea pig”.
