skinnypigs1 FYI I figured by the "comments" who it was...so I reported both his harassing messages AND reported his profile.. AGAIN. I refuse to engage in bear poking, and I REALLY refuse to let someone bully someone who I enjoy watching and being a part of the comment section. There is just too much bad going on in the world... sorry I am gonna defend the good stuff till this person disappears for good!!
skinnypigs1 I’m not a vegan but I enjoyed you making it for some reason lol and yeah ppl are going to hate for no reason. Also I thought that was funny with the mean girls
Honestly I'd love to see vlogs from you, question and answer videos. You helped me learn a ton about piggies - now I continue to watch because I find these videos relaxing. I'm sure that's weird... lol.
So glad I found your channel! I have an 9 month old baby girl named Harper, and since I've started watching your videos, I have made the conversion to using fleece, built her a 2' X 3' C&C cage, switched from romaine lettuce to green and red leaf lettuce, introduced Vitamin C tablets and have started using Oxbow hay. And man, let me tell you, there has been a huge change in my girl. She is so much more happy and relaxed, and will now actually cuddle with me. She is doing a lot of laps and popcorning, and is always excited to see me. It feels so good as a piggy parent to see her so happy and content. Love your videos!
She is a singleton right now because of financial reasons, however she will be getting a friend within the next 6 months. She gets lots of attention and love though, and is very happy.
I love revisiting these old video's of yours, Abby. This is what made me be a better piggie mama. Your care & maintenance routine was the most comprehensive one I'd seen. You really did work out all the bumps for us and me and my piggies are so appreciative!! I have to laugh at your exclamation 'Ick!!' grabbing a handful of peed-on hay! ;-)) The struggle is real.
Great Video! I'm pretty new to the guinea pig u-tube world, but from the start you were my Favorite! Professional, passionate about piggies as I am, but pretty much a novice. I stay up at nite watching back to back and they are so relaxing and Fun! Awesome job!!!
Love the way you talk about your animals. You're such a amazing piggie and bun-mama. I've learned so much from you in the few weeks we have our own piggies. Secretly I want a skinny too in a couple of months. Is your husband also into piggies like you! I love this video. I like to see them every day. 😎 Love from Holland. ❤
Rest In Peace to Calvin he was a good little piggie I know that you get so much support and good comments and you probably won’t see this but I love your vids and they help me so much with my little piggies ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
She is extremely knowledgeable. In my experience, everything she says in her videos can be taken as fact. Especially when it comes to proper piggy care, diet, health, and CAGE SIZE! If you don't have the room to adopt a pair (They are social animals and live a better life with a friend(s)) and the room for a proper size cage. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing a sweet pig in a tiny petshop cage or even worse, a tank. I've spent endless hours reading everything I can find on piggies, but you really need to know your sources. I still find myself referring to her videos as I agree with everything she says, and is someone who also truly loves her piggies. Your effort educating people doesn't go unappreciated, and I can only imagine how many people you have helped. Thank you for all your advice.
So glad Bullseye is okay with the cucumber. I get so nervous introducing new veggies as Buttercup has ended up with stasis 3 times. I've just recently started reintroducing veggies after cutting them out for a few months and so far, so good!
I just wanna say you have been an inspiration, you have helped me learn a lot about guinea pigs and, finally, got 2 new guinea pigs 2 days ago. They have already bonded with me which I'm glad about and although there afraid when I open the bedroom door, which I think they don't like cause my door squeaks, they have let me pick up, hand feed, and bathe them. (They got poop stuck in there fur)
you should do a rainbow theme so have each cage a color of the rainbow but you could always mix colors so blue and green would go nice or red and orange yah know?
OH my god you with the litter box is me every time I try to dump the pet store cage bottom I use as a litter tray in the pigs cage. I have now just started scooping it out with dust pan instead.
Lol had me laughin ........im gonna roll u up, ill do it lol empty endes threats lmbo i jus love the person u r to bad ur so far away bc i could c us being friends which i only have 2 bc ppl suck so i mainly have animal friends lol n they r jus thw very best they never judge no matter what we do......if i didnt have all my babies id go nuts!!!!! 14 pittys , 2 piggys, 35 chickens 3 cats and a tarantula!!!!! I love my babies💖💖💖
Hey I haven't watched your videos in a while. Still love them. I have an idea for you, so the guinea pigs don't go under the liners. Maybe use binder clips to clip them to the side of the cage together with the liner under. Just a helpful tip.
I like them because poops can fall out the back, very easy to shake out. The closed ones sometimes get so many poops and there is no where for them to go. Another bonus is with bossy pigs, they cannot corner a pig in a bed, the other pig can escape out the back!
I also have had the same problems with hay racks! I have mine the same style but one of my boys likes to jump in the hay rack, it's like a hay tunnel! I blocked off one side work corroplast but if I don't keep it full he hops right in... he's fine if I keep it full. I know you keep your hay really full so it shouldn't be a problem but I would keep an eye out to make sure your piggies don't hop right in the hay rack lol
Skinnypiggs1 the struggle is real lmbo i hate hay racks and hay period ive yet to find one that works with the piggs they r such smart lil buggars and either fig out how to get in the hay rack or pull it out or snatch whole thing down lol for me ive resorted to putting there hay in a deep dish glass bowl n its worked so far they still try to get in the bowl to lay in hay cause god knows it feels so good lol i love my babies and do anything for them so the struggle continues lol love ya girly keep on what u do n dont worry bout the haters there jus fans in disguise👍
Ive seen cage liners on guineadad.com that have pockets on them that might help with them fliping the liners upside-down or give u inspiration to make ur own hope it helps
Aww as much as you clean and take care of them that is cute but hard work. I only have two who live outside in a huge shed . Where they can be in or outside as they please, Fresh air, Grass, Run area, Chew wood for their teeth . As long as they are warm and secure from preditors they are happy. Remembering they are rodents at the end of the day. x
I have the same problem with my pigs burrowing under their fleece. It annoys me so much!! It's good I love them to death!! They like to burrow under the main cage liner and sleep under it. I'm hoping once I get some nicer liners they will stop because it annoys me a lot, and I can't imagine it's good for them if they lay under a wet spot.
Yes you can, not sure how well they will hold up with lots of washes but you can. I know back in the day I had ones with terry cloth in the center of my liners and they did work well.
I'm getting a guinea pig but she is having babies and I do not know what to do and this is my first guinea pig I don't have any of the stuff for the guinea pig
Could you make a video on how to introduce piggies? I'm getting my 2nd male, and my other piggy has sadly been alone for 5-6 years, Me and my mom thought that they would fight, but I found out they won't, I have never seen or introduced piggies Edit: my piggy right now isn't fixed, because we don't have an exodic vet, so he has to have a male
My skinny pig died during the night, it was horrible. I want to get another one but the pain that was caused when he died is making me not want to get another one.
To get them started on the Vitamin C hay tabs from Oxbow that I use, I crushed them up onto their pellets and they got use to the taste that way. Now they just take the tab from my hand.
You seem like a guinea / skinny pig expert. I have some questions. We have a skinny pig, and a lot of my friends say that it is not reccomended to get another one as they will fight, mine is a male. Is it possible to get 2 guinea pigs from different herds? Is it too late? We have had my skinny pig for around 4 months, and I would like to get another one. A response would relieve me a lot.
I just recently got a skinny pig, he gets pretty dirty. I have a few questions. Can I put baby oil on him ? Is it safe? And what is the proper bedding for me to use for him. Right now I have him in bedding that's kind of like pellets with.a lavender scent. What's your recommendation for it ?
Abby do you care sometime to talk about if you get sick let's say who in your family would take over? you know with the pigs. your husband or your mom and dad maybe?? I was just wondering what would happen in the event that you would become ill or something would happen in your life who would take care of the pigs until you could recover ?? I love your videos the longer the better. I'm totally addicted to them
My 5 1/2 year old Guinea pig just passed away. We just buried her, i don’t know how to feel. I’m not very sad or angry. Im just kinda feeling neutral and I feel guilty for thinking that.
Brookalyn z it's ok to feel like that, you shouldn't feel guilty. When my dog died, I felt the same way and also felt guilty. It just means that you are more calm then most people or you weren't as attached as most people. Not saying that's bad
I don't think my guinea pig gets that she's a guinea pig. She climbs up the side of her cage and has jumped in and out of it and she is best friends with my dog. P.s my grids are 13x13in -_-
Anyone else addicted to these? It’s so fun to watch!!!
Thanks, I am glad!
skinnypigs1 Not even joking, this is probably my favorite channel on UA-cam.
This was filmed not long after Calvin had passed away, just uploading it now.
Thanks for all the support and views, always appreciated :)
skinnypigs1 definitely gives off a Cordelia chase vibe! Surrounded by people, but completely alone!
skinnypigs1 FYI I figured by the "comments" who it was...so I reported both his harassing messages AND reported his profile.. AGAIN.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with such ravenous bears. You handle it well.
I just have my Beakey very clean and content lay flat next to me motorboating melodious.Loves to nuzz
I love how you love your pigs and Seymour so much.☺. Im sorry for your loss. R.I.P Calvin.
anyone else watching this to fall asleep gently ? :-) this is so calming for some reason
I have 7 piggies and I introduced them all together and it was so adorable how they were pop-corning and running around together
Oh awesome!
you are my role model ! i want to be a caring, gentle piggy pro just like you.
Thank you again for the video and all of the work that you do for the channel and for your pigs.
Thanks Mary!
This was sooooo satisfying!😄
you have really beautiful guinea pigs and I wish you many many more years with them
I love watching the longer videos while I'm sewing! Makes cozy making more fun 💙
:) Cozy making, nice!
Awesome as always ur pigs an rabbit is too cute
I have 2 free range bunnies and I'm gonna get a another one!!!!! They are all so cute!!!!
I adore these videos! Is it weird that i really like the sound of the poop being scooped up! :p
Honestly I'd love to see vlogs from you, question and answer videos. You helped me learn a ton about piggies - now I continue to watch because I find these videos relaxing. I'm sure that's weird... lol.
Fleece goals! You are amazing! ☺️💜💙
I just spot cleaned myself!! Love you and your pets!!
Videos like these make me miss my pigs!!😞😞
So glad I found your channel! I have an 9 month old baby girl named Harper, and since I've started watching your videos, I have made the conversion to using fleece, built her a 2' X 3' C&C cage, switched from romaine lettuce to green and red leaf lettuce, introduced Vitamin C tablets and have started using Oxbow hay.

DrummerGirl1031 u sound like u care for your piggie lots but do u have a friend for her or is she your piggie and a sibling owns her friend?
She is a singleton right now because of financial reasons, however she will be getting a friend within the next 6 months. She gets lots of attention and love though, and is very happy.
You go girl thanks for all your info. You are very knowledgeable☺
I love how your so organized
Is anyone else amazed at how many pads and liners she has???? 😂 I wish I had half of her supply!
I love your morning and night routines😍😍
I love revisiting these old video's of yours, Abby. This is what made me be a better piggie mama. Your care & maintenance routine was the most comprehensive one I'd seen. You really did work out all the bumps for us and me and my piggies are so appreciative!! I have to laugh at your exclamation 'Ick!!' grabbing a handful of peed-on hay! ;-)) The struggle is real.
You are so welcome!
Aww sorry for your lost
Also bun is my favorite I hope you get more bunnies:)
Great Video! I'm pretty new to the guinea pig u-tube world, but from the start you were my Favorite! Professional, passionate about piggies as I am, but pretty much a novice. I stay up at nite watching back to back and they are so relaxing and Fun! Awesome job!!!
Thanks Susan, that is very nice of you to say!
Love the way you talk about your animals. You're such a amazing piggie and bun-mama. I've learned so much from you in the few weeks we have our own piggies. Secretly I want a skinny too in a couple of months. Is your husband also into piggies like you! I love this video. I like to see them every day. 😎 Love from Holland. ❤
He enjoys them yes :)
You should put they hay in first instead of after! Makes a little mess😂 Love your piggies so cute❤️
Love these videos
Rest In Peace to Calvin he was a good little piggie I know that you get so much support and good comments and you probably won’t see this but I love your vids and they help me so much with my little piggies ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
Hard working mama in action, love the videos!
Thank you!
Your really good with pets
She is extremely knowledgeable. In my experience, everything she says in her videos can be taken as fact. Especially when it comes to proper piggy care, diet, health, and CAGE SIZE!

OMG LOVE THE CLEANINGS AND ROUTINES!! I might be getting a guinea pig!

Yeah, becauae it's bad to leave them alone, they get sad, scared, and stressed, we are finnaly getting a new cage and piggy for mine
SkyIs TheLimit OMG I mite be geting a pig soon to for christmas i think.
Lee O'Hara same!
Squeak The Guinea Pig yeah I take rly good care of them sadly my other one passed when I was younger
i love your room
I get 50 pound Timothy hay from tractor supply for 18 dollars.its good hay. Piggies and buns love it
So glad Bullseye is okay with the cucumber. I get so nervous introducing new veggies as Buttercup has ended up with stasis 3 times. I've just recently started reintroducing veggies after cutting them out for a few months and so far, so good!
It is scary to try, I know I was nervous when I wanted to use cucumber again, so started off very small and slowly worked up to a normal sized piece.
I just wanna say you have been an inspiration, you have helped me learn a lot about guinea pigs and, finally, got 2 new guinea pigs 2 days ago. They have already bonded with me which I'm glad about and although there afraid when I open the bedroom door, which I think they don't like cause my door squeaks, they have let me pick up, hand feed, and bathe them.

So glad to hear!
Can you do another cage cleaning video plzzzzz🙏🙏🙏🙂
you should do a rainbow theme so have each cage a color of the rainbow but you could always mix colors so blue and green would go nice or red and orange yah know?
My guinea pig S'mores is a bit like Angus about the whole handling thing. Great video❤❤❤
OH my god you with the litter box is me every time I try to dump the pet store cage bottom I use as a litter tray in the pigs cage. I have now just started scooping it out with dust pan instead.
Love your videos I have 4 piggies and I love them
Lol had me laughin ........im gonna roll u up, ill do it lol empty endes threats lmbo i jus love the person u r to bad ur so far away bc i could c us being friends which i only have 2 bc ppl suck so i mainly have animal friends lol n they r jus thw very best they never judge no matter what we do......if i didnt have all my babies id go nuts!!!!! 14 pittys , 2 piggys, 35 chickens 3 cats and a tarantula!!!!!

Aww Bun Bun is so sweet! Should I name my holland lop bunny ,Desmond,bugs or thumper?
I like Bugs.
skinnypigs1 thanks for replying, I'm naming him bugs! I'm so exited!
I named my Holland lop_ Lop, he 's a boy
I'd like to know if there is a specific reason for the open ended beds you use? You're an amazing piggie mom!!
I like them because poops can fall out the back, very easy to shake out. The closed ones sometimes get so many poops and there is no where for them to go. Another bonus is with bossy pigs, they cannot corner a pig in a bed, the other pig can escape out the back!
1:21 makes Siri pop up every time
Hi my name is Amelia and I really love watching your videos your the best
I also have had the same problems with hay racks! I have mine the same style but one of my boys likes to jump in the hay rack, it's like a hay tunnel!

I currently have a cold and I was wondering would my piggies catch my cold too?
They don't get colds and viruses like us humans.
I love these videos!!!
Thanks :)
I just can't imagine your washing machine handling all this laundry.
Which is better to use, a hay bag or the hay racks you have now?
It is totally up to you and what your pigs like best.
Why Don’t use beding for the cage is
Hey Abby! Loved this video!! Where do you get your 50 pound boxes of hay? How much is it? Thank you!! ;)
A local Home Hardware that has a pet section, ask for it ordered in.
Ive seen cage liners on guineadad.com that have pockets on them that might help with them fliping the liners upside-down or give u inspiration to make ur own hope it helps
Aww as much as you clean and take care of them that is cute but hard work. I only have two who live outside in a huge shed .

Here the predators are everywhere, so my pets stay inside.
I have to use a store buogt cage for mine cuse my cat do not like her so she has a roof
Where do you get your couches for the Guinea pigs ?
In the description box the link for the hedgie chin workshop.
I have the same problem with my pigs burrowing under their fleece. It annoys me so much!! It's good I love them to death!! They like to burrow under the main cage liner and sleep under it. I'm hoping once I get some nicer liners they will stop because it annoys me a lot, and I can't imagine it's good for them if they lay under a wet spot.
Can I sew towels between fleece for the guinea pigs?
Yes you can, not sure how well they will hold up with lots of washes but you can. I know back in the day I had ones with terry cloth in the center of my liners and they did work well.
skinnypigs1 Ok, thanks!
Does the budgetbunny shop ship to the uk? As i really want that finding dory fleece 😂🙈
Those nine dislikes are idiots they have absolutely nothing to hate about love your vis
How did you get all that fleece? Holy crap girl
Can you make a video for how you make liners(if you make them yourself) or send a link for Canadian shipping because I am LOVING that fleece
BudgetBunny is Canadian and so is Zoey & Lilo's Toy Box, both of them take custom orders for liners, links to their shops are in the description box.
What do you feed your rabbit
Unlimited hay, sherwood pellets and variety of greens.
I'm getting a guinea pig but she is having babies and I do not know what to do and this is my first guinea pig I don't have any of the stuff for the guinea pig

To skinnypigs1: do you know where you can buy good fleece?
Links to shops I buy from are in the description box.
I have 2 guinea pigs and 1 parakeet 1hermit crab and I'm sorry that Calvin passed :( 😢
Would you recommend keeping the pigs beside a window or not ? X
Not really. Same room as a window is great but right beside a window could be drafty or way too warm.
Do u keep the lights on during the night
No
Just make sure you give your rabbit veggies
Love u xx
I want to make some cage pads for my guinea pigs.. What thickness of uhaul do you use.
Mine are all 2 layers of u-haul in the middle.
Thank you. I have been confused as what to buy on amazon. Many different weights, so maybe the lightest weight and use two layers?
I am not sure to be honest, I buy them already made. Perhaps ask some people who own shops and make them.
were is celven ?
He passed away in August.
I know you probably answered this before but are you planning on getting another pig?
FlippingAriel 101 She has, his name is Willy ❤️
Could you make a video on how to introduce piggies? I'm getting my 2nd male, and my other piggy has sadly been alone for 5-6 years, Me and my mom thought that they would fight, but I found out they won't, I have never seen or introduced piggies
Edit: my piggy right now isn't fixed, because we don't have an exodic vet, so he has to have a male
There is a link in the description box for cavyspirit, it goes over introductions with a lot of detail. I used that when I first got piggies.
Why don't you have litter pans
My skinny pig died during the night, it was horrible. I want to get another one but the pain that was caused when he died is making me not want to get another one.
My guinea pig doesn't eat her vitamin c supplement. Do you have any advice?
katie101 I used to have to pick mine up and sort of force feed it to them. About a week later they just started taking it in their cage.
To get them started on the Vitamin C hay tabs from Oxbow that I use, I crushed them up onto their pellets and they got use to the taste that way. Now they just take the tab from my hand.
skinnypigs1 Thank you!
Gianna Grasso Thank you! :)
You seem like a guinea / skinny pig expert. I have some questions.
We have a skinny pig, and a lot of my friends say that it is not reccomended to get another one as they will fight, mine is a male. Is it possible to get 2 guinea pigs from different herds? Is it too late? We have had my skinny pig for around 4 months, and I would like to get another one. A response would relieve me a lot.
I just recently got a skinny pig, he gets pretty dirty. I have a few questions. Can I put baby oil on him ? Is it safe? And what is the proper bedding for me to use for him. Right now I have him in bedding that's kind of like pellets with.a lavender scent. What's your recommendation for it ?
In the description box is a link to my video about 'caring for hairless guinea pigs' I go through everything I have learned :)
skinnypigs1 Thank you ❤️
can you put the camera on a stand becaus it gives me moshon sickness
You are literally everything I want to be
Abby do you care sometime to talk about if you get sick let's say who in your family would take over? you know with the pigs. your husband or your mom and dad maybe?? I was just wondering what would happen in the event that you would become ill or something would happen in your life who would take care of the pigs until you could recover ?? I love your videos the longer the better. I'm totally addicted to them
My Husband would for sure and I have a very supportive and close family :)
She should make a herd
Hey Dudette She can't, not every piggie is fixed and there's no guarantee they will get along. She's tried in the past and it didn't work
My 5 1/2 year old Guinea pig just passed away. We just buried her, i don’t know how to feel. I’m not very sad or angry. Im just kinda feeling neutral and I feel guilty for thinking that.
Brookalyn z it's ok to feel like that, you shouldn't feel guilty. When my dog died, I felt the same way and also felt guilty. It just means that you are more calm then most people or you weren't as attached as most people. Not saying that's bad
I have two guinea pig
When you speed everything up, it gives me motion sickness :(
Girl Anonymous same :(
Would you ever free range your Guinea Pigs?
Hi
hello
Im waching this in 2020. Not 2017
A lot has changed since then!
I don't think my guinea pig gets that she's a guinea pig. She climbs up the side of her cage and has jumped in and out of it and she is best friends with my dog. P.s my grids are 13x13in -_-
Can u help me start my yt guinea pig channel
Calvin's name tag_😢rip
I bet your husband gets all the ladies
Hi
