Guinea pigs should always be housed in pairs of two or more because they are herd animals and feel more safe with more than one. He is super cute but I suggest getting another little ball of fluff to make him feel more at home.
Here in Sweden you MUST have at least two guinea pigs, since they are pack animals and human interaction can never replace the company of other guinea pigs. Wish more people learned more about the animals before getting them.
to be fair though I had a guinea pig named elphaba and I tried so many years for the seven years that I had her to get her a partner but she hated other guinea pigs. I would always try and she would always try to bite them or get mad at them.
Damn internet ruining us. People playing with our emotions for likes and views using kids in hospital beds. This was a refreshing and happy vid though 😀
I have 2 guinea pigs and they got into a huge fight and one drew blood on the other so I had to seperate them. I get where you're coming from but sometimes it just doesn't work out with all pigs (but yeah I do agree with you about Rocky as he got on with the pig in the girls school)
Opalescent Lump ok i dont know how to take this, as negative or positive but you should go somewhere else with your opinion if youre going to criticize especially with a little girl
@@slimeydude8154 I agreed with the idea that people should know about pets and their needs before buying. It always sucks to read these truths when it's such an uplifting story. But knowledge is better than ignorance.
Funny story... I have a mother and daughter pigs. OK everyone gather. So the story with them is. The mother pig was pregnant and she was sold,sold,sold again, and then to the Higgity piggity house (pls buy a pig from there so many are on her list to come in but has no space) so I REALLY wanted guinea pigs. So we went, got them (her child was born there) and now live they’re forever home 😇 The mother’s name is destiny and her child is beauty. Please enjoy and do your research before yo buy them. Enjoy they’re story.
The story is beautiful but please get Rocky a friend of his own species and a better cage. He's supposed to have a C & C cage. And he should have another piggy friend.
@@MsLindaluu Oh, okay! Could you tell me the timestamp where that was shown? Maybe I wasn't paying attention previously, thank you for pointing that out!
@@wateredeggs8198 I'm sorry, I don't know how to do the time stamps. But it's at the part where the dog is sniffing at Rocky in his enclosure. You can see the grid and white coroplast. You never really see the full setup, but it seems like Rocky gets a lot of floor time.
Nvrmind, I just watched ur video... this is a crazy synchronicity I've just experienced.. that dog looks exactly like a dalmatian that came to my house and never left.. he would sit in the front chasing the mailman or anyone who passed by, so we took him in for 12 years.. guess what we named him, ROCKY, just like the Guinea pig..
@@chicofromph33nix64 The pic in my profile is of the the dog in my 1st video. Some say he's white German shepherd but I'm not sure... Thanks for watching 🙂🙂
Such a sweet, heart warming story; thanks for sharing this. It reminds me so much of my daughter when she was 3 and her pet ferret McLovin lol. They were inseparable from the start, and it fills my heart with joy to see children not only take on the responsibility of a small animal for a pet, but to truly make a connection with them. Love knows no boundaries, something we adults need to remember, and keep in mind throughout our lives.
Guinea pigs are awesome i had 2, Bernie and Oreo but they both passed away last year 😔. I love when they pop corn and squeak! The most adorable thing ever. 🤗
it's so sweet that this little girl loves that little guinea pig. Her parents are teaching her to be kind and loving to animals and that can't be beat!
Cute video! But I do have to put out something, I did not really think it was a good idea to have a guinea pig class pet at PRE-SCHOOL I feel like she might be a bit too young. And same with the other kids, They might not know how to hold Rocky and drop him, Or feed him things they are not supposed to eat. I recommend introducing a guinea pig to a kid when they are at least 7 Years old or older. She also should NOT be doing that at 6:11 She pushed Really hard on him and I'm so worried! Im sorry if this is wrong, But this is just my opinion.
Having a animal by your side, is one of the best feelings that anyone can feel! Also I just want to say, I you love something let it go, and if it’s real it will come back to you! (Not if it’s a pet)
When he “purred” that means he’s upset he’s growling I have two guinea pigs. That cage is so,so,so small and obviously upset and depressed. Please do your research before you buy them. My mom’s friend had one alone and died from depression 😢
Pisces actually I searched it up and ONLY cats make purring sounds that means they are happy. So your wrong. 😐 You are correct though that they are annoyed
Guinea pigs are some of the friendliest, cuddliest, social little pets you can ever get. They’re smarter than you think and love attention, they’re just the greatest, especially for kids!
Ahh I hope they get him a piggy friend and a much bigger cage He needs those things These are cute videos but I always see so many mistakes with small animals it makes me sad
The cage size is fine you all are just looking at it from a different perspective, if he had a buddy they would definitely have to get a bigger cage. I know this because I have guinea pigs of my own and classrooms with at least 6 guinea pigs.
To everyone commenting. That cage is clearly for eating or doing its business! He’s a free roam guinea pig you can tell by cage and layout! Also they can be absolutely fine alone with lots of interaction! Just means they create a strong bond with you not the same species.
It´s a cute story but very sad that they don´t seem to know much about guinea pigs. They should not live alone, you should always have at least two of them.
It is kind of sad. A lot of people don’t do research to see how to provide the best care for their pets. I have 3 guinea pigs and are the world to me. I did all of my research for months to know how to care for them
I've done my research, I could only get one. And I feel bad for it, but it's not my fault the store doesn't sell cages big enough to hold two of them. And I don't have the money to make a custom cage.
This lady is just awesome! She went out of her way to let Maisie continue having a relationship with Rockie. This is just an awesome story of friendship and love that makes me feel like there are people who have the compassion to do loving things for others.
Grace Haven Since you don’t know that for sure, why bring it up? You have no proof. It’s not ok to jump to conclusions when you don’t know the entire story.
Dongchun Qiao they need to have a friend at all times and the cage was way too small for him to be happy, he had too much food and was being swungvround
So KYOOT! I don't understand why people say that guinea pigs are lazy, they're not! They can be helpful and caring, have a great night, afternoon, morning ❤️❤️
How did I go through nearly 28 years of existence and never thinking about wanting to have a child or a Guinie pig To suddenly wanting both at the at the same time? Oh yeh I known how.... The Dodo!
Agreed. I have 17 piggies on my farm, (all desexed) and they have one of my horse stalls to themselves, with a fancy push door so they can go outside to the massive run to eat grass. It’s sad to see such a tiny cage for an animal that moves so much. Let alone how lonely he must be... I personally think guinea pigs are not the best pet for kids, as they get stressed easily, and need lots of attention.
Yeah. I own 3 and the pure reason is because they need friends or they will just be sad. And you need to slowly introduce them to other pets. Not just straight up place them down and see what happens. Keep them in a different room for awhile. That's what I did
I had a Guinea pig... She is my favourite pet ever!!! And she's gone... My heart was in pieces... I miss her so badly..its been 6 months since she left me! 😔😔😔
If you have only 1 guinea pig and you can’t get another one you have to form a good bond with the guinea pig so it won’t feel lonely because a lot of guinea pigs like to have a friend but if u keep your guinea pig entertained it won’t feel so lonely that’s the advice I have 😁😆
I’m guessing because guinea pigs are a lot of work. Dad probably works and doesn’t want the responsibility and Masie as adorable as she is, is not quite old enough for the responsibility.
Poor piggie living all alone. Guinea pigs need at least one other guinea pig to socialize and not be lonely they are herd animals. Also they don't like to be grabbed bc they are prey animals and it stresses them out. I recommend Tiny Adventures, she has lots of good videos about piggies
Do you mean Little Adventures? If not, I'll have to look them up too. Little Adventures is great! Also if you want more educational videos about guinea pigs, look up the LA Guinea Pig Rescue and Scotty's Animals, both are great channels.
Honestly, I have guinea pigs too and I’ve tried my hardest but I really wasn’t a good owner when we first got them. Though they are cute and supposedly low maintenance, small rodents require a lot of attention to keep happy. Keeping them healthy isn’t a problem but I believe living a sick, happy life is better than being healthy and mistreated all the time. Though try to do both
I had a guniea pig name Cheerio (it’s her fav food) when I was 7 it was my older sister who was 17 at the time I think and we were bffs it came to the point that my sister gave Cheerio to me and I was really gental and still with her I follow what to do and not what to do with her and I was perfect he died last year and I was devastated but now I have a guenia pig name Bobba and we’re still great pals so I think not roughly children like me and have them
If Maisie's dad is reading it, please buy her a guinea pig. Please, please please!!! Your princess will be the happiest. Keep me updated if you buy one 😊😊
This video was soooo CUTE!!!! Thank-you for sharing. I think it a wonderful thing for a child to have a special friendship with an animal any kind of animal. I just loved everything about this story...😊😘 to everyone in this little piece of happiness.
Dragonberries they will get depressed if they don’t have a friend, also when they get spooked by something it’s good for them to have another guinea pig to reassure them that nothing is wrong and human interaction will not give them that, hay is a huge part of there diet and they eat A LOT of it so that’s why there needs to be more of it, they need a bigger cage bc they need to be able to run and get exercise and actually have space for things to hide in, that’s why you should do your research before getting pets even pet stores don’t have the right supplies for certain animals and most places that have stuff for guinea pigs and bigger animals don’t sell the right sized cages and stuff
Dragonberries i get where your coming from but a human can’t ever replace another guinea, bc we can’t fully understand things like guinea pigs can with each other, even tho he had the little girl doesn’t mean he’s happy, he might look it but guinea pigs are good with hiding things, a guinea pig could be sick b it you might not realize it, so it could be depressed but we don’t know it it
Yes... that really worried me. I have two guinea pigs (they should have a companion) that I adopted. Now they are spoiled rotten and have three big cages that we connected to make a giant cage. 🙂
thix vedio made me cry because i used to have a guinie pig and he was like my best friend but recently we found out i was allergic to guinie pigs so i had to sell him but im glad this little girl still gets to see her buddy
And it wasn’t meant to be look at the cage size look at how much hay she has and no companionship guinea pigs are herd animals and need more than one guinea pig and the guinea pig wasn’t “chill” he is stressed
I love my guinea pigs. I can very easily see how anyone would fall in love with them. They need another guinea friend and a lot more cage space to run around in.
Jeez...this cage is WAY to small. Plus, they hate being forced to get petted, but most people misinterpret their behaviour. He doesn't "purr"...jeez. And keeping them without at least one other guinea pig is absolutely cruel. I feel so sorry for this little fella.
