A couple weeks ago my husband and kids surprised me with a sweet little piggy for my birthday. After watching your videos and doing some research our guinea pig now has two friends, I have sewed a bunch of waterproof pads, and my husband built me a similar cage to yours. Thank you for such helpful videos! Looking forward to life with our new little friends.
One of my guinea pigs "Gaya" is a real diva. When she wants a treat and she doesn't get one, she starts to demolish her tunnel. Funny thing is, I heard from the home she comes from that her mother had the same behavior, so it runs in the family 😂
I have been using paper bags filled with hay and a few treats, my girls are in heaven. They sleep in them, and drag them around. This is their happy place.
I just adopted my first male 6 mo old “teacup-capybaras” x2. A red eyed white Abyssinian & a black short hair with a big orange snout domestic 2 weeks ago. Mr Pink & Mango. Pink is super chill & Mango is super skittish. I made it worse bc I tried to hold them, chasing them around their Kaavi habitat. They’d wake me up “weeking” hysterically at 5:00 am. I learned here what I was doing wrong & night & day difference. I stopped trying to handle and “love” them, gave them heaps of Timothy hay all day. Made a tunnel out of a wine box (lol), picked them grass & dandelions. They’re so much happier. Thanks for all your great advice! I watch you all the time now.
My 2 boys are roughly 3 years old - they're not as agile in their popcorn as other younger piggies, but I always find it so cute to watch them attempt a little hop.
*Remarkable little creatures* , didn't know we could love them so much and also the joy they bring to our children, *thank you for sharing and caring* 🙏
We have taken to calling carrot 'piggie crack' at home with how much our two like it. 😆 And you're so right about the diva thing! Our long haired guy, Tux, absolutely hates being brushed and will jump around doing popcorn like moves but with disgusted squeaks at the brush. 😂
One of my pigs loves to be scratched on her cheeks and under her chin, and its literally the most adorable thing when she just lifts her head up and shows her little mouth.🥰
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm going through a tough time in my life and your videos provide a much needed escape. It's so soothing thinking that - somewhere in Great Britain - there are at least four very happy guinea pigs enjoying their lifes to the fullest. 🥰
Thank you so much, they are indeed four super spoilt piggies. I'm glad the videos help to provide that bit of freedom and hope things get better for you
Another brilliant video, thank you. I have three very rare piggies, in as much as they don't like all the things most piggies do. They don't like pea flakes, peppers, parsley etc. etc. So it's very hard to bribe them. But, what they do love more than anything else is grass, grass and more grass. It's the main part of their diet and I feel it's very natural, so they have it all the time. I'm known locally running around with my bag, scissors and cutting grass - whatever the weather. I just avoid areas where dogs go and ensure it's not been treated with anything.
Aww this video is so cute, especially the popcorning. My piggies always tell me when they want to go home. I also once had a piggy that used to scent Mark me 😂
I know watch your videos when ever I can cause I am getting guinea pigs soon so trying to do loads of research on them so thank you for your videos they are very helpful
A little bit of sas or diva in them! I love how you put that because it's sooo true!!! Our 2 long haired Peruvians girlys definitely fit that description to a T they are the queen bees of the house or think they are. And will tell you bout yourself if they want something!!! But uh so so cute and amazing 😍 love them 4eva
Nr. 5, I must so much laugh 😂. We've guinea gigs(adopted) now for 2 weeks. Fabian and Franzi, and the girl is so a big diva. We all are loving how they are and we're so happy. Bring so much love and joy!
As for the cage being something they love- my piggies cage is on a table, and I give them floor time when I'm cage cleaning. They know exactly where the cage is and they step on my feet to tell me they're done exploring and direct me to their cage for me to take them back! Haha
I have hammocks for my girls and I love seeing them sleeping in them. They look so cozy! I also have GuineaDad liners which come with pockets that my pigs love to hang out in most of the day.
How is Pedro SO FREAKIN CUTE!!! I love him so much lol I have two female piggies, Chocolate Chip (Chippy) and Truffles (Truffie, who just turned 2 yrs a couple days ago) I have a 2x5 c&c cage which they LOVE! I really love ur vids! they've helped me so much!
Sometimes my 2 boys are straight up rude! Lol! I believe they do get mad at me sometimes when I do something they don’t like…they make sure I know it. Such unique personalities. Love it.
Piggies love to be petted and loved by their hoomuns too. Mine have always loved crab grass and tender yard grass like nothing else, except maybe red-top clover in springtime! When I was able, I used to grow a garden and grow green beans and sugar snap peas for my babies, and leaf lettuce and spinach. Piggies like beet tops (first growth in spring) and beets too, mine LOVE baby carrots (sweeter than big carrots) and tomatoes in moderation. The acid in 'mater's can give your baby soft pills or upset tummy, but in the wild, piggies are "opportunity" feeders, what ever they find and tastes good, they eat. You may find you little friend likes music when holding you. CiCi loved Mozart Piano Concertos and football on TV. She cheered for the football.
My two guinea pigs love grass and hay when they are in their day hutch all they do is eat grass, stare at each other or sleep and they love it they also love to explore their run. at night they love to eat their hay and veggies
Hi, I recently got two guinea pigs (plan on getting more in the future) you have taught me everything there is to know for keeping guinea pigs happy and healthy.I find your videos really helpful and you seem like a lovely person too :) uk, northwest here
i have two boys right now🥰one is albino and one is tri color, they’ve been sassy with each other today but they LOVE the midwest cage i got for them, esp when i clean it bc they sniff every inch of the cage ☺️ ahh i can’t wait till they start wheeking but ik it’ll be loud💀
THANK YOU FOR GIVING SUCH IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE BEST PET EVER...GUINEA PIGS!! I HAVE ALWAYS ADORED THEIR SWEET ADORABLE FACES AND SOUNDS! I NEVER MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEM IN MY CLASSROOM...WE WERE SO FORTUNATE TO BE ALLOWED TO HAVE CLASSROOM PETS....AND I ALWAYS JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO HAVE GUINEA PIGS IN MY CLASS! IN YOUR VIDEOS I SEE LOTS OF EXCELLENT TIPS FOR HAVING THEM AS WONDERFUL PETS...I AM CURIOUS THOUGH...I DO NOT SEE YOUR PRECIOUS PIGS EATING ANY PELLETS......DO THEY NEED THEM? THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT INFO....DRB
I have a C&C cage on the floor, and some of the cube parts have bigger openings. Daisy likes to push her head through them to try to get inside when I'm cleaning their cage. Her butt is too big to fit though 😂
Thanks Sarah. What a great video as always. I bought mine the hammock you have a while ago and my gang also really 😍 love it. I also put a small fleece Piggie pillow in it which they love to snuggle up on! xx
Omg yes one of my Guinea pigs, Omelet loves to do this. When I leave the side gate open and i have omelet on the floor she goes straight back into the cage.
One of my piggies loves human interaction but the other one doesn’t. He grudgingly allows me to pet him but only at feeding times. However he will take a mint leaf from my lips as long as I don’t attempt to touch him at the same time. And neither of them likes pea flakes.
I love you so much you deserve more, and sorry if I am late, but I thank you for making this video I want to know more about them cause I am getting one soon, agian thank you for the video it,s helpful
I just rescued 2 female piggies! One of the piggies (josie) is an Abyssinian and has a slight head tilt because of a major ear infection when she was young. The other piggy (Meg) is a ridge-back piggy I say she has a shark fin because of the ridge on her back! I keep my piggies in a 2x4 with a 1x2 expansion! I love your content! Thank you so much for these amazing videos! 🐹❤️
I’m Abril , and I love your Guinea pigs I’m 8 years old and I am going to be a Guinea pig owner in February but I am going to need some help with taking care of them so, if you have time please make a video for tips,Thanks for your support.
My piggie named Kevin if you put him on the floor in the living room, he will travel to my daughter's room and jump back into his cage. I have a C&C cage it stands 12in tall so I was surprised to see him do that.

Hello!love your vids. My Pigs are in a birds cage but they are free roaming during the day. I give them Veggies during the morning and whenever I put out my Food slicer, They wheej and squeek. They're very friendly and I made them a diy hide. I'm planning to give them more cage spaces
