Guinea Pig Boy Bonding - The Good, The Bad, and The Funky 

Bonded Boyz success slideshow 35:44

"Any body that tells you that you have too many guinea pigs... just stop talking to them." Made me laugh, as I think Scotty was dead serious.

“Hi guys Scotty’s animals here” *causally holding a goose*

Little girl: excuse me Scottie: Yes 😶

“Man I REALLY want a horse.” That little girl kills me

Not sure how to share with the lady that was asking about neutering a skinny pig, but I had Little Foot neutered very successfully. Just have to make sure you go to a trustworthy vet and let the male heal in a small cage for a week or so. Also he has to stay away from the female until 4 weeks healed to be safe to ensure all the sperm is dead and gone. I found having a skinny pig neutered nice in the sense of being able to see the incisions easily and know they were healing nicely without fur in the way.

I'm starting to realize, the more I watch your videos, how cruel it was that my 3rd grade teacher kept a single Guinea Pig in our class in a tiny plastic cage small enough for hermit crabs. Each Friday a different kid in the class was selected to take the guinea pig home in it's tiny cage to care for it for the weekend, and bring it back Monday morning. As a child, I didn't know any better but that was sooo cruel. I feel traumatized now, Mrs. Gallagher was a cold bitch. I never liked her as a teacher.

I think that's a successful bonding. Buddies for life

Great vid Scotty!!

"I can't have every guinea pig" is a theory I will one day put to the test!!!

Omg Jasper and Gizmo are amazing! I have never had a boy bonding go so well!

6:35 The purring whilst bonding is too sweet! I’m gonna cry. My boars, Ben and Jerry are so bonded that Jerry runs back and forth when I take Ben out of the habitat. Great video, thank you!

Great video!!! I wanna move to LA and volunteer at the rescue 😂

So tempted to hop on a plane to get a bonded buddy for my boy with you guys. I've been looking for rescues around here for him and they're either already paired or need to be alone. Excellent video.

Skinnypigs one mentioned your videos, they are great! I'm an "old geezer" with 17 rescued piggies. Most have health or behavior issues. I have three boars that can't bond with anyone-even my sweet laid back ones! So they are in separate cages next to each other for company. I wish they could bond but the teeth come out right away no matter what neutral territory they are in! I do have a boar trio and a sow quartet.

Scott, this was such an amazing video. I loved your comments during each of the bonding attempts. You gave such great advice. This was one of the best videos yet. The little slideshow at the end was the finishing touch. Fantastic job!

I have a feeling Gizmo is more mom’s pet than the kid’s 🤣

Julia from Little Adventures have 5 guinea pigs in the same cage. Two are male and three are female. Now, she didn't start it off like that. One of her rescues was pregnant at the time and she didn't know it, so that's how 2 males ended up in a cage with 3 females. But they all get along really, really well. Julie picks guinea pigs from rescues according to their behavior. She chooses what pig she thinks would fit in with the herd according to their actions.

Love this guy and his patience with the stupid public. He tries to stay on track with the task on hand and they introduce conversations about other things thus not learning all he has to offer them about the bonding process in general.

Anybody that told you you have to many guinea pigs you just stop talking to them I like that logic

Can't have every guinea pig says the man who has a whole room full of the little fluff balls. :):):):):)

We have a skinny pig that has been with us for about a month. Last night we brought home another piggy in the obvious hope that they will bond (they are both males, about 5 or 6 months old). We introduced them in a run that we made out of c&c pieces and lined with comfy fleece and put a nice pile of hay in the middle. It seemed to go great at first...Pip (skinny) was thrilled to have someone to hang out with a popcorned all over, they did the usual rear sniffing and chased each other around a little, even had some hay breaks. So we figured they were doing well and moved them to Pip's cage...it was like world war III! They tussled and scrapped until Pip ended up with a little blood from a scratch, then each took a side of the cage as their own. Pip seemed really scared, he stayed in the same exact place for a couple of hours, not wanting to move at all! As soon as Pop (new piggy) came near him they would scrap again. We ended up splitting the cage for now and each side has their own food, water, hidies, etc. I think tonight we will try them in the playpen again for a longer time and try it again in the cage. Maybe it will just take some time for them to be in the same smaller space? Any tips for us? If it doesn't work we will take Pop back and try a different piggy (which is tricky because we don't have a guinea pig rescue), but we want to give him a decent chance before we do!

9 seconds in - Scotty: "Sarah came by with her guinea pig Gizmo" Me: "I think there is something wrong with that guinea pig." o_o

That slide show at the end was very touching!! Brought some tears to my eyes😊

How lucky those guinea pigs are to have someone like you taking such good care of them. I have learned quite a bit from watching your videos. Thanks for all your advice.

Omg! The slide show was so worth the wait! I so enjoy watching your videos. Thank you 🐹🙏🏽🥰

Thank you for such an informative video!

I love your videos so much! I’m about to get my second guinea pig today and I’m super excited but also trying to educate myself as much as possible!

Ahh love it!!! Thank you for making this video!!

Thank you a lot for all your videos and wise advise.

Thank you so much for your wealth of advice and knowledge! Has helped me immensely

Fantastic educational video. I watched the whole thing, and found it all to be extremely helpful! Thank you so much! I'll remember everything you said. :)

Great job, like always 🙌💹👏😇😊📿

If I could spend just one day at the rescue, I’d be in heaven! This video gives me hope that I could possibly successfully bond my pair of brothers again. Sadly they had a falling out and I separated them out of fear too quickly. For now they are happy living side by side, but they deserve and need a buddy each. Your videos are some of my favorite, Scotty!!

i love his videos and how he love his animals❤️❤️ He is an angel

Thank you for your videos. They have helped our family take care of our pigs the best way possible.

Wow your really good with people when they ask “interesting questions”.

Thank you Scotty! You are informative and so sweet to those piggy babies.

Thank you, Scott! Great video and really helpful! These looked like they got along well compared to my girls, who are now bonded. But, had to have two pairs, they would NOT accept a third. Looking forward to more. Learned a lot!

Not going to lie, the pictures at the end overlaid with that music brought me to tears. I miss my guinea pigs.

Amazing video

You are sooooo good with kids! I love how you interact with the public.

I have an all white Abyssinian male that is only going to be a year old in September and I am adopting an all black Abby male who will only be a month old when I get him and this video was so informative and I appreciated it so much. Wish me luck on my bonding process ❤️

such a great finish 😍

Thanks Scott, you answered a couple of my questions in one of your bonding videos. Piggie's are soooooo cute and funny.

These guys are a commitment, if you get pair and your a parent keep an eye each day on them, teach your kids how to care for them, These are very sweet, very timid animals and a delight.

I wish I lived closer to volunteer.. my piggies are my life..this is heart warming to see these beautiful beings get the love they deserve

Awwwww Gizmo is so sweet. So glad that he found a Buddy! 🌞 Great video. TFS 💜

This video is on of my favorite ones people don't understand you can't go for looks it's the bond that makes it perfect 😍😍😍

That was brilliant, Scotty. So interesting! Thank you.

This makes me so relieved that my two guinea brothers are super bonded already.

Hands down best video yet! You rule Scott x

Aww! I was going to bond Gerald with Jasper if Marvin didn't work out! So glad he found his furever home ❤️

Loved this, very interesting. Dino and his brother are so cute and fluffy. I feel so lucky my boys just chilled when they first met. Bubba rumbles or it may be an annoyed purr he does with me too, and Pepe and I know to let the Bubs be boss.

Thank you for such an informative video about bonding. We lost our dear guinea boy 2 days ago, and my other boy stopped eating. I brought home a baby for him, and they bonded immediately. Thanks again for such great tips. I will never be over the loss of my baby, but seeing my other boys happy definitely makes life better for all of us.

I love those bonding pics! 😍

All your Piggies are beautiful ♥️❤️💕🤗

I'm so glad my boys have order with each other.. my dominant male tries to get his brother out to play..and when his lil brother comes out it's fun time..you are great with them by the way..good job

Such wonderful and adorable pictures of the newly bonded pairs! I have a male who lost his bonded buddy 😕 I wish there was an option to do the play dates at the rescue near me!

Nice.. beautiful guineas!!

I will rewatch this now because I need to try bonding Mikey with Marty

Really nice videos you make 👌

That was a great video!

I’m new to guinea pigs and recently got a second and i wish the introduction went smoothly like typos so i didn’t have to worry as much. But the tips at the beginning reassured me that everything they were doing was natural. Nice video Scotty.

I love watching your videos especially with my piggies because whenever the pigs on your videos squeak mine squeak back

You're a beautiful man with beautiful, great heart! ❤️

Super cute

Omg the kiddo is precious! I love it 🤣

The white one is incredible

Hi....new to your channel. I've had guinea pigs for 25 years....girls and boys ...always separated boys. I watched some of your awesome bonding videos and decided to try my new 8 month boar Liam with my 5-6 yr old boar Peanut. It was magic! Quite funky but I knew what signs to look for. They never faced off or teeth chattered and started grooming each other! Liam also was popcorning. Very successful match! Thank you for invaluable content.

Loved this lessons in bonding 💚💚💚🤗🤗🤗

Awww! I love watching your videos. I am slowly getting my walk in closet converted to a piggy room. Anchorage AK does not have a rescue, but an influx of pound piggies fueled my cage building. I will be adopting or rehoming when I am ready and find some in need. I rescued rats when I lived in Texas, loved them, but my boys were buttheads. I will be glad to care for critters that actually want me around.

Super Trooper Club. Great video!

Great vid! Man come on Scotty, you're too chill haha.. Let's have a sesh and a piggy play date!!

Gotta love those Guinea Pig Smiles!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I have a very happy trio of boys.

I love your videos so much, Scotty!

The end slideshow is the best!

LOTS OF GOOD TIPS

You are the Best!!!!

OMG the slideshow!!! ❤❤

They’re so cute ♥️❤️💕

I recently had a guinea pig pass away due to having a seizure and watching this has been kinda of eye opening. We had three boys, two in one cage and right next door was the other one. It's interesting out of all the videos I watched no one has said about the duo vs trio for male piggies. We debated getting another piggy but I think for now, for the sanity of our two boys we still have we will be keeping it a duo for now.

Hi, I'm new to your videos, have 2 guinea pigs, you have given me a lot of FYI

Saskia is the best !!!! 😊 Thank you saskia and Scotty and volenteers

Wow she is such a polite little kid haha

Scotty! I found a match for my boy Snowy Popcorn! I got him Maverick (4 months old) and he looks like the one that you're holding in this video. I've had Snowy almost a month now. I had noticed how he was barely eating lately omg..and he'd just stay inside his hideout place, not good.... I can't believe how much he's eating right now! Snowy is about 5 months old and I had to keep him in a cage by himself because I was so afraid of putting him together with another male piggie fearing that he might fight and get hurt or vice versa. After watching this video, I realized, how right you are about these piggies being social animals and how they do live happiest with a companion, a buddy to share with so I got him Maverick. The change in Snowy just today, from the moment he saw Maverick has made my eyes teary. He squealed with delight, he wanted to jump out of his cage and get into the other cage. He was so happy, I couldn't BELIEVE what I was seeing! They KNOW so much! They truly have emotions! I was going to introduce them gradually, but I backed down. I grabbed Snowy with a towel just how you explained, and I placed him inside the new larger cage that I got for both. First reaction from Snowy was joy and Maverick was curious/ fearful. Yes, Snowy started humping him and chasing him around the cage, this I felt was normal as that's how they get to know each other, by testing boundaries. I was ready to get in there should I see aggression, but instead I just sat and observed. Yes, there's some dominance etc displays on the part of Snowy, since Maverick is the new boy in town and younger. But guess what ? In just a little while, they were both resting side by side, they eat together from the same bowl, they run and chase each other and then they lay down to relax, no aggressive behavior whatsoever!. There's peace in the house Scotty and lots of joy too. I couldn't be more happier because mama's boys are getting to be great buds. Yay!. The Guinea Pig Boy Bonding .. worked!

I love your t-shirt Scotty :-)

I have 2 boys that I adopted from my local animal shelter (Hello from Santa Fe, NM!). They were both rescued from a hoarding situation. One of them had been adopted and returned. I named him Cujo because he bit me so bad I had to go to Urgent Care. It was comical to see him hanging from my thumb! I gave up trying to bond them because Cujo kept attacking Berber. They are happy (especially Berber) now that they each have their own space.

coolest dude ever

Awesome, we want to include it in our PetCare:)

thick winter fleece like gloves work good for handling new pigs.

I sure hope mum is also a gp lover😉🤗 You are such a Nice guy

Guinea Pig Tinder match dates: Lay down and purr for swipe left, tooth chatter and rumble for swipe right

I love all of these videos ❤️ I have a 2 yr old male skinny pig named Gus Gus, and I just recently came across another skinny who needs a home with someone who is available and knowledgeable to give the care he deserves. I would love to give him a home! Gussy gets fresh veggies and some fruits every day, and is in a nice big house (I don't like to say cage lol) That's always clean with fun things to do. I'm just trying to watch as many introduction videos and learn all that I can before I make a big decision like that. I pray it all goes well!! Send me some good vibes please 😁☮️🕊️

You are the MAN

Im ur biggest fan

Now I want to know if there is such a thing as guinea pig magazine.

Weedwacker is such a great name for your duck!

Jasper is the Fabio of Guinea Pigs. So handsome 🤍
