when i first got my piggies, the petsmart lady was so sweet and informative! she got a big cage with a play pen attached to it and it came with a hay rack and waterbottle. my guineas love their play pen so much, and it is always attached to their cage! :3
Lol! I am going to get guinea pigs for my science experiment! (Totally humane for school just testing food water and stuff like that) 4 of the guinea pigs will come from 2 separate rescues/ homes. The other 4 Guiana pigs will come from 2 pet stores, Petsmart and petco for my experiment. (I wouldn’t buy them from a pet store otherwise but i must do it for my experiment) So I know that the ones I get from the homes/rescues would probably be friendly but what would happen to the guinea pigs from the pet store? From what I’ve seen they totally hate humans!
WOW!! I am so glad you gave the tip about non-watery and watery veggies!! I was about to mess up considerably!. BUT what happens when a guinea's tummy gets upset... Are the poo-pellets more loose, different in shape, color...???
If their poo is looking weird get them to the vet! This is prolly late, (no it is-) but if their poop is looking off it could mean theirs something wrong with their digestive system
I did a bunch of research to figure out what fluffy friend would be right for me and landed on guinea pigs. Now I am looking at as many sources as possible to make sure I am as prepared as possible before adopting my first guinea pigs. The more I learn the more excited I get. My goal is to adopt guinea pigs by the end of 2022 wish my luck :D
When I brought my little baby home years ago, she was already super friendly and snuggly, so I stayed in the room with her. After a week, we were bonded. I lost her Saturday (five days ago) after 8.5 years, and I’m really hurting right now. I really miss her, and it’s weird to sit in my room without her. We had a routine of checking on each other every morning, through the day, and night. She even had a way of chittering her teeth to get my attention. So even though it’s an old video, it’s helping with missing her.
What I did when I got my gueina pigs this is what I got Cage. Hay. Food. A little house. Water bottle A box next to their cage full of their supplies Brush (It is VERY small and I have a cleaning spray, I spray a tiny bit and brush them both softly) Do NOT pick up you gueina pig immediately after getting them,it makes them more uncomfortable and scared. Clean cage at least 3-5 times a day guiena pigs have a faster digestive system then other animals so they digest food faster if not cleaned they will stink! Once in a while treat them with a snack (Carrots,Peppers,or some veggies) Dont give them veggies that have a little bit of sweet in it all the time give it to them once in a while! Hopefully this helped 🙂
One thing to know is that guinea pigs are very, very attached to their poo. One of my fondest and most endearing GP memories is after bagging their poo, one of the pigs bit into the plastic bag with the most defiant look and really tried hard to keep me from taking their poos away. Buinea Pigs love the scent of their poo. It's a back to nature thing and if they have their poos for awhile they will really hate to part with them.
This was a huge help thank you I just got my new guinea pigs 2 days ago and they are very cautious over alot of things incuding me. But both of them ate out of my hand for the first time today and it was adorable!
I’m getting one next month, after I met my aunts guinea pigs I wanted to one so bad. I’m so excited, this is really helpful thanks for making this. Edit: I’m getting 2 lol
Just got mine today, and my sisters got on too. All males, we tripled check. My sisters are young so it’s really hard to explain to them they need some time to settle in
Oreo & Brownies diet (my gini pigs) breakfast 7:15 .carrots (peeled,washed and sliced .carrot tops only a little bit scattered over the carrots!❤ dinner around 4:00 (since I'm in primary school) .gem lettuce leaves .bit of spinach .bell pepper bits sliced (tiny) snack time!(random time usually around 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.) .lettuce (gem or other yummies) .broccoli little bit (don't like to give them too much .cartots .spinach play time (30 to 40 mins) dinner (last meal 9:00 sharp .broccoli .bell pepper .sweet paprika done my healthy diet comment if I'm doing something wrong.. baiiii
Don't you give them hay or pellets? Guinea pigs are supposed to have at least 80% of their diet hay. Not giving them hay is dangerous, they'll get sick. ALso, don't give them to many carrots, it's not good for them.
i’m really excited because i may get a guinea pig this year! i’m planning on getting it at my local petco because my local petsmart (which is closer) never has many piggies, maybe 3 at the most.
When I got my guinea pigs they were in a pet store cage the cage was so tiny they had to share a hidey but the second we got them in the cage we ordered a play pen and they lived in the play pen for the next few weeks then we turned a chicken coop into a cage but they wouldn't climb the ramp cuz It didn't have fleece on it so we screwed the play pen onto a table and put down pads and then we put down rugs then we bought c and c grids so now they have a 2 story loft in their cage and this is were we figured out that they wouldn't go up the ramps in the chicken coop cuz It didn't have fleace so we added fleace to the ramp on their loft so now they climb on to the ramp so that's the story of my guinea pigs cage btw this all happened in the time span of 2 months yes they trust me very well now
Thanks for this video! Even as an experienced owner, I needed some info to brush up on how to acclimate a new piggy since I'm planning to bring one home from the shelter tomorrow. :) It's been a while since having a new addition!
this video will help me a lot I've had guinea pigs before but that was a really really long time ago when I was little and I hope that this can help convince my dad for me to get a guinea pig
Thank you so much!! This was very helpful! About when do you think I can pick them up/pet them? I've had mine for about a week now. They're still scared of me, but I took your advice to put veggies when everyone goes to sleep, and the veggies are all gone when I wake up!
Such a great resource for new Guinea Pig owners. I'd love to know what those little treats you are giving them. The little tiny ones shaped like a cupped little flower! What are they made of? (in case they don't sell them here in Canada) Thanks so much for sharing these videos, my ten year old in so in love with having a couple of little piggies, and we are learning all we can before getting a couple.
When I got my Guinea pigs Bailey and whisky we tried to put them in there cache but it didn't go well they were running around there box they came in!x
I love your channel I love what you do it's amazing keep it up my mom said I could get a guinea pig for Christmas and I hope I can have some tips from you and I love what you're doing with your guinea pigs it's like your guinea pig lover it's so amazing I love you keep up the good work I'm using my mom's phone by the way so it doesn't really matter right doesn't really matter you won't find out I think but I really liked your guess everything keep it up bye
I have a question bc I'm getting one soon , so on like the first 2nd day you can't try and pet them a little to comfort them . or to make them settled ?
I’ve had my piggie since October 15th of this year! He’s still very afraid of us…I’ve made plenty mistakes by trying to get him to like me and understand this isn’t a scary place 😭😭 i hope he likes me one day
I got my guinea pigs yesterday and yes they are very scared poor babies. They are about 3 to 4 months old and both little girls. One of them is so bossy though she doesnt like sharing her hidey with her lil sister ha ha...she is feisty and more scared. Her sister is Lilly and Lilly is a lil more friendlier but still very scared the other one just wants to hide from us. But today I did hold both of them and they were not that happy that i grabbed them but were good on my lap. They do take food from my hand though...yea its a process i hope they stop being so scared and jumpy all the time lol
I bought two guinea pigs once a male and the other one I don't know their names are fuzzy ball and Buckyballs they run around the key to all the time I got the biggest one 47 by 24 by 14 and I have another one the same size common we're going to put them together so it'll be a even bigger cage form and then they're doing really good I'm hoping I have two males and not the other way around but if so they'll have plenty of running space
I'm getting 2 guinea pig in 5 days we have ordered a cage and it will be here in 2 days I'm really excited to hold so I will try not to hold it on he first couple days this video is very helpful
this was very helpful! though it’s gonna be a bit till i get my piggies (still have to buy everything, build the cage, and find somewhere to get the pigs!), it’s good to know where to find an informative video when i need it!
My piggie lets me pet him when we do lap time because he is rested but he runs away when I pet him inside the cage because he s active and he wants to do other things but their both babies coco and millo. Millo it's mine coco is my sis one
when i first got my guinea pigs, I set up my tablet by the cage and turned on the camera before I went to school. I could then watch it when I got back to see them come out and eat their veggies! it was a great way of spying on them when they were too shy to come out in front of people 😂😃
Then I've trained my Guinea pigs wrong since I kept picking them up and cuddling them to get them use to my sent, it's worked for me since my oldest valentine only took 3 days while Dawin took 2 and my new ones took 1..except pumpkin..he lays down on me but keeps biting me
So I just got home, and I went to say hello to my guinea pigs Mango and Coconut. Mango was acting hyper as always, but Coconut was sitting in his hut, just staring at me. He looked uncomfortable, and when I got in closer I realized his left eye was crusty and had goop all around it. I looked it up, just to make sure everything was okay, and found he had some symptoms of a cold. First of all, his eye was crusty and goopy, and second of all, he was sneezing a lot the other day. If you have some tips, please comment me back.
Yes! Turns out he was just sleepy and was going to clean himself. I looked into it more as it kept happening. The “symptoms” were him just being stubborn really.
"They still accept you as their human" yay
Write when i saw your comment the video said that😂😂😂😂😂
- Red Ruby - Right*
- Red Ruby - haha cool
Their not my guineapigs, I'm their human. 😅😂
haha yes! :)
😂
YAS!!
Lol
Think like we buy guinea pigs
In guinea world they buy human on a human shop ( as if a pet shop)
I agree ☝️ with you
I'm in the car on my way to get my first piggies! :D
Edda Skovbjerg Paldam How are they doing now that you've had them for a little bit?
Lizzyxinfinity _ They're loving there new home. I can now pick them up with out any problems.
Edda Skovbjerg Paldam That's great, :).
Edda Skovbjerg Paldam congrats!
Edda Skovbjerg Paldam savage

It's adorable how they yawn😍😍😍😍
Yeah
Awww
when i first got my piggies, the petsmart lady was so sweet and informative! she got a big cage with a play pen attached to it and it came with a hay rack and waterbottle. my guineas love their play pen so much, and it is always attached to their cage! :3
I’ve had my piggie for about six days now and he’s happily curled up in my lap, sitting in the hood of a sweatshirt :)
How ??

Piggiee?? Any just the one??
teach me ur waysss
How my piggie hated me for 2 months now it’s been a year she loves me
I'm gonna do this the slacker way and watch UA-cam videos w/ my guinea pig & hope he understands :/
WOW!! I am so glad you gave the tip about non-watery and watery veggies!! I was about to mess up considerably!. BUT what happens when a guinea's tummy gets upset... Are the poo-pellets more loose, different in shape, color...???
Kat Guillot whoops just fed my guinea pigs cucumber.
Usually soft and the pigs will step in it.
If their poo is looking weird get them to the vet! This is prolly late, (no it is-) but if their poop is looking off it could mean theirs something wrong with their digestive system
I did a bunch of research to figure out what fluffy friend would be right for me and landed on guinea pigs. Now I am looking at as many sources as possible to make sure I am as prepared as possible before adopting my first guinea pigs. The more I learn the more excited I get.

Did you end up adopting some??

Do they not have pellets? And you shouldn’t give too many carrots.
emily's vlogs rachel not to much of tomato simetimes it can hurt them
Don't you give them hay or pellets? Guinea pigs are supposed to have at least 80% of their diet hay. Not giving them hay is dangerous, they'll get sick. ALso, don't give them to many carrots, it's not good for them.
emily's vlogs rachel it’s guinea pigs not gini pigs x

Try hand-feeding them first:) Once they're comfortable doing that you can maybe let them sniff at your hand
Such a great resource for new Guinea Pig owners. I'd love to know what those little treats you are giving them. The little tiny ones shaped like a cupped little flower! What are they made of?
