I decided to set this channel up 4 years ago, to show cute clips of my little dwarf hamster Misty. After watching several other hamster videos, I realised my care and knowledge was all wrong - thats when I decided that I needed to spread the word of up to date pet care!
Unfortunately I no longer own hamsters but I have two guinea pigs called Minstrel and Truffle and two lovely cats called Tigs and Ralphy.
I don't currently horse ride but I hope to loan or own a horse soon.
I hope you like what you see and click subscribe if so! Thank you so very much for joining me on this crazy journey! I appreciate you all very much x
CAMERA'S I USE / HAVE USED ON THIS CHANNEL: - Canon 70D: 18-55mm lens & 50mm 1.8f lens. (Current) - Cannon 700D, & same lenses(old one) - Nikon Coolplix L830 (Used for vlogs)
What a beautifully done book ru-vid.comUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!
Hey! I got one guinea pig as a gift from somebody, but It's only one, I'm a rather new owner of guinea pigs, so I'm still figuring things out, it's already hectic for me to keep clean and provide all the stuff for one guinea pig as I'm a busy student, but, I truly love her now and I don't want to give it to somebody else, but on the contrary I can't afford another pig at the moment, maybe sometime in future. Is it okay if I keep one? Cuz I've been told 2 guineas is the only way but I'm rather in a paradox, I don't want to let my guinea go but I can't afford another one either. However I spend quite a lot of time with her, look out for signs for depression or something and give her a good space with toys and stuff. Is it okay, it's not animal cruelty right 😭
I used to have a hamster and he would ALWAYS escape out his cage! The way I would find him, is I would start cooking something in the kitchen and he would ALWAYS come running from out of NOWHERE looking for something to eat! 🤣
Also I know you mentioned that you were on a tight budget a lot if you brought those guinea pigs inside and set up a C&c grid cage it would be a lot more cheaper and you could sell your Hutch and that and they could be having a lot better of a home again I don't know what situation you are having I can tell you are pretty young
Hi don't know how much experience you have with guinea pigs but they're in animal that should live inside due to predators and I noticed your door was not very sturdy if a raccoon wanted to get in there it easily could I don't know what kind of predators you have or what your situation is and it also looks like they have a hut which are not good for them either just some advice
Five or six foot? No, at least 10 feet for just two pigs, and that goes up the more pigs you have. Honestly all the kids on here commenting about getting one pig are killing me
Damn apparently mine is completely the opposite of most dwarfs. Took a week to train, when he bit me it never hurt, and she was more shy than agressive
I considered a pet rodent and watched many RU-vid videos about their care. I was a kid in the 1970s, and It’s great to see how most people care for their pet rodents now. Such a pleasant change from metal chicken wire bottoms. In choosing which species of pet rodent I wanted, I narrowed it down to rats or Guinea pigs. I’m left at a standstill now and can’t decide. Rats are more intelligent and affectionate like a dog but can’t be kept in an open enclosure like how Guinea pigs can be kept in. Rats are so intelligent, but so much so that they are great escape artists. Also, Rats only live for about two years and that seems a tad too short, especially since they need to be kept in groups, and when introducing new Guinea pigs to replace one that has past away, if you want a baby or younger Guinea pig, you need to introduce two of them together so they will have a companion in their same age group while adjusting to being included to a new home with older piggies. So even though they have short life spans, keeping them as a group turns into an almost endless cycle of commitment. Guinea pigs on the other hand can be kept in an a more open enclosure, and live longer (3-4 years), but seem skittish and like little mindless eating machines. I can’t decide because I want my favorite parts of both rats and Guinea pigs rolled into one but the aspects I like about one, the other doesn’t have. Until I decide, I’ll just keep watching more meat RU-vid videos.
i love all hamsters! i used to have a syrian hammy who i looked sososo much. i’ve had other syrians and dwarfs. andddd i just feel like dwarfs are a better fit for me. who else is team dwarf hamster??😊
The one thing they got wrong is saying it's okay to house hamsters together. ALL hamsters are solitary and not social like mice, rats, rabbits. Please do not house hamsters together!!!
At least 2x3, I really suggest 2x4 though. C&c is a really good kind of cage, and remember Guinea pigs can die of depression if they don’t have a friend or don’t have enough space.
Is having one piggie ok? I am getting one in 30 days and i have a cage much bigger than a c&c 2x4 cage. The reason he needs to be kept alone is because he can be really hyper and really mean to other piggies but im going to try get two more piggies in a few months to see if hes fine with them but if he isnt then ill buy a cage for beside him so they can still communicate, is this ok?
I’ve owned both and guinea pigs are definitely more loving in my experience plus, they’re easier to train tricks to in exchange for treats!! And they are decently way more intelligent domesticated compared to their wild counterparts.
Just a heads up guys, flying saucers are not recommended for cages, only for play pens as hamsters can fly off of them and injure themselves. Just thought I'd let people know xx
I want to get a betta fish. It seems like something a parent would say yes to but I’m worried my parents will say no Because they regret getting me guinea pigs ☹️
I know you have the best intentions but that cage if FAR too small, I recommend getting a c&c cage! They are very cheap and u can expand them and give your piggies as much space as you like
Did you know that guineas sleep with their eyes open because they have no eyelids? So if you see them staying still but their eyes are still open it might be because they are sleeping!
