@rosannw9357 8 месяцев назад

Sarah, Really enjoyed this video! I took notes as circumstances have changed and we now have one of the "grandpiggies" living with us indefinitely (we do not own any other piggies). This is a challenge since she is blind, but very sweet and fends very well as long as nothing in the cage is moved. She does not get along with other piggies (they tried!) so getting a friend is not possible. She recognizes my voice and the tapping on the veggie dish and finds her food from sense of smell. She bit me once since I scared her because I accidentally touched her from behind. I hope I am doing all the right things and all of your videos are invaluable. Wish me luck!!

@maggiesnana551 8 месяцев назад

Better than taping boxes & tubes, I use twine or jute & tie the cardboard together. Just poke holes through the cardboard where needed & poke the twine through. Then I don’t need to worry about them eating tape.

Sarah, Nacho is PRECIOUS!! Bless him, he's got to be one of THE CUTEST PIGGIES EVER!! Good going, I've been seeing ALL your videos I've missed, and he's a DOLL!! I have several Haypigs accessories, they enjoy their circus hidey, kabob, crash mat, their food bowl and I've gotten them some of Haypigs treats and forage from their website, I want their subscription box, however it's quite expensive for shipping to the U.S., so I currently subscribe to Piggie Box, because it's only 5$ to the U.S., more affordable! I love U.k. piggy items, they're different then what you get in the U.S., and in my opinion, better and cheaper, but the shipping cost is SO HIGH! The herd is just BEAUTIFUL, CONGRATS!

@TheThreeMustyRats336 8 месяцев назад

@candy11401 7 месяцев назад

A few other things you can do is: 1. wrap their veggies in newspaper and watch them get their veggies, might need some help as some Piggies are not as good with puzzles as others 2. don't put veggies or pellets into 1 place, scatter feed and hand feed 3. Piggie racers, set up 2 spaces that are the same, can include tunnels, boxes etc and put down veggie(s), put 1 Piggie in both spaces and see which 1 will find and get the veggie(s) quickest

@olgasannikova4127 Месяц назад

They are so cute and relaxed and playful. Are they with you for long? How long would it take for you to build this trust and did you have piggies that bite you? We got 2 recently for the first time 2 weeks ago. They got into a loving home but they are very scared and one of them bit my 8 years old child while he tried only to pet him in a cage and he is very upset now. We want to keep them ( they are 2 males) and build that trust aswell.

@SqueakDreams 8 месяцев назад

Guinea pigs are often naturally plump - a normal weight can be up to 1.4kg! If you really are worried about their weight, reduce pellets and any other dried hard treats they get, and perhaps sugary veggies (like carrots and other root veg) and fruit if they get them. Normal veggies are unlikely to cause them to put more weight on, you could scatter feed/do the veg challenge to get them moving a bit more 😄

@jaguarangel1107 4 месяца назад

Posting in several areas, as I don't know if you'll see this, but my pig suddenly stopped being able to eat his veggie treats and also his favorite Timothy hay heads. He mainly prefers his pellets now. I've done a bit of research and found that their teeth can grow over and occlude the tongue. He really wanted his treats but just couldn't eat them, so we tried chopping his veggies very small, and he immediately was eager and able to eat them. Have you ever seen this? I've read that the vet may have to put them under and file the teeth down (hundreds or $1000 in my area). Someone mentioned even havinf to put the lig down! He's my friend and buddy, five years old, and otherwise is good health. Your thoughts please?

I've read that certain veggies shouldn't be given more than two days a week. Is it true? Do yours have veggies every day? I have a young one, he loves being held but he's still very suspicious of us from time to time. He likes to pop up and look at us while he eats or "popcorns" around. I need to learn the meaning behind the sounds he makes. He's adorable and the prince of the house

@Musicalmonkey684 4 месяца назад

Hey, yes that is true but only for some high sugar veggies that may make your piggies ill if they have to much of it - just like humans. But things like lettuce and most green veggies are safe for your pigs every day. Hope that helps
