Instead of being very concerned abut the sugar content of fresh healthy fruits I urge people to become very concerned about the contents of their pellets. Soy, corn and wheat have no business in a guinea pig diet considering the amount of pellets consumed. Now THAT is a huge reason why pigs gets sick, develop tumors and general repression of their immune system. , not the fresh fruit
You should pin this comment. I promise you I was NOT trying to be rude or put you down in anyway. I am sorry about my confusion. Thank You for the clarification.
Thanks for the clarification on fruits❗ I know that No one was posting comments saying what they thought you had said about this in the past. I know No one was trying to be rude to you or to slight you or put you down in any way. When they posted what they thought they knew and they Apologized for the misunderstanding❗ They Still Donate to you and Support you. It was clearly a misunderstanding on THEIR part, but I know. NO harm was meant by their comments❗💯
@@nachopig550 oh no - trust me i don't get offended easily hahaha
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT you know it is almost impossible to offend me right?
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue I'm glad to know that, because I wasnt sure how to take your comment I was reading all the comments.
My husband thought I was CRAZY to give my piggies the banana peels, but they LOVE them! And it’s cute to see their little personalities come out, some preferring apple, some orange.
Mine will not eat the peel
Strawberry tops are a favorite of mine
Yes! I love how they eat the parts we don't. We call them our composters. Lol
The quiet munching of Guinea piglets on an apple has got to be one of my favourite ASMRs!
Oh, how adorable your little helpers are.
In my experience most guinea pigs much prefer vegetables to fruit, so it just seems like it would be very hard to really overfeed them fruit. Unless you are doing dumb things like just feeding a whole banana instead of a salad for dinner or something. If you're just mixing in a few berries or slices of apple it seems like it'd be almost impossible to overfeed them fruit since they'd still naturally gravitate towards the salad anyway.
My give my piggies a variety. They get tired of things quickly so I have to switch it up often. They like fruit, but they definitely prefer their veggies 🙂
I miss owning guinea pigs, I loved my dear Brucey boy so so so much. After he passed my heart broke and it was much to hard for me to care for his brothers, so I adopted them out. They are such amazing animals and I hope I can own some more one day!
Saskia always has the cutest helpers!
When people ask me, I tell them to think of fruit as dessert. Cake isn't a meal, but it sure as heck completes one.
These babies are so cute and very talkative!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Poppy's babies are adorable. It's always surprising how loud small babies can be, and it was so nice to see them try the apple.
Thanks for reiterating the feeding amounts for piggies. The babies are beyond cute. Happy New Year to all.
Such cute baby guineas!
Those little babies might be overwhelmed lol they don't know what to eat first
The cuteness overload when babies ran towards the camera!
My piggy refuses ALL fruit, I find it so interesting how their tastes vary.
super cute
1:33 We love their confused face after being grabbed back 😂 like why am I here again?
*INCOHERENT SQUEE AT THE ADORABLE BABY PIGGYS!!* 😍😍😍
I usually share my tangerines with my girl Sansa, she absolutely loves them! She gets one or two pieces usually
I don't even have a piggies I have a bunny but just love watching! My bun loves banana though lol
Cute babies 😀
My piggy and I absolutely love your channel! She gets a strawberry in her salad at breakfast and not every night but most nights I drink a tea made from boiled banana and I cut the the ends off for piggy, she loves banana peels and the whole house smells like banana bread when I boil them so she knows she’s getting some and is very impatient lol. She also loves the little cutie oranges 🍊 they’re small mandarin oranges so I just cut one in half and make sure there’s no seeds, I don’t usually peel any fruit because she eats the whole thing and the peels have tons of vitamins and nutrients that’s good for them. She loves apple chunks. She has greens everyday and probably every other day she has fruit in with her greens. She loves it!
They are PRECIOUS!! Oh, my heart is melting! Those little babies! Oh, they got quiet, they love cilantro!! Mine love it too!!
I started giving my guinea pigs 1/2 a section of mandarin orange. It was cute; at first they backed up so fast with the shock of the different scent. Then, however, they did test it, after some hesitation, and they really enjoy mandarin orange now. I am experimenting more and more with bits of fruit, I like having the variety for their diet.
My piggies really didn't care for any fruit other than apple so it was a nice treat for them every once in a while.
My favourite piggy loves banana peel, more than anything else. He can smell it when I walk in and will snatch it from me as I try to put it in with him.
The only thing my guinea pigs like that is more in the fruity category is blueberries and grapes. They take one bite of apple or banana and snub it lol.
My piggies don’t really care much for fruits.
Ps, how adorable are your little helper babies 🥰🐹🐹❤️
Omg the babies are so CUTE 💓💕🥰🥰🥰
omg look how cute they are!!! so smol!! their little wheeks are so damn cute! they kill me .... oh yeah, good info on fruit too... BEHBEH PIGGIES
Beautiful babies!
Depends on whether your piggy has healthy poops. When my boys had a yeast infestation, it took over 2 months to figure out a healthy diet and the right kind of medicine. What ultimately helped was a diet low in sugars, moderate amount of veggies, fresh leaves of bamboo and blackberry plant and orally given probiotic bacteria mixed in vitamin C syringe. Yeast needs sugar to thrive, so you want to make sure to "hunger" it. My boys don't really care that much about fruits, but I enjoy feeding them a piece of all different kinds to test their reaction. One piggy likes to eat mango, the other chatters his teeth at me in disgust and runa off. Both of them like banana though 😆
Those babies are so cute 😍 asdfghjkl
Love the video as always! Its true, everything I've read online made me fear giving my piggies fruit. To see you actually tell me how much banana I can give at a time was so surprising because I was only giving them probably a pea-size piece of banana and peel or only one blueberry to each pig. Now I don't have to feel so bad for giving them an extra blueberry or a little more of my fruit.
Banana Baby cuties 😍🍌🐹
Great advice Saskia 👍 I'm diabetic and tend to give fruit to my guinea pigs follow my own guidelines. Natural sugar doesn't tend to cause issues, it's processed, unnecessary stuff in diets that do. Healthy balanced eating for us and our piggies with a variety of different types and colours, yum!
Aww they’re so cute.
Thankyou, Saskia. Never fed my Pigglies oranges, I assume they don't eat the skin? I have always fed the banana pieces with the banana peel on, and yes, you are right people have been totally amazed that they eat the skin too. Great potassium in there!
Thank you Saskia for everything you and the volunteers do for our piggies! God Bless you all darlin!
Bless them.there adorable 😍
Omg they are just adorable 😍 Thank you for the information 🙏🏼
My piggies love strawberries, especially seasonal strawberries. Two of them could eat a pound of these everyday xD
Fruits are a great addition to the diet, at our sanctuary they get pieces of different fruits throughout the week. Surprisingly, they’re not too much into it. They nibble on banana and apples, sometimes berries or watermelon, but they don’t go crazy over it 😅
Great video. I agree.
Awesome video. Adorable baby piggies❤
my pigs love fruit! probably bc I do lol, so every time i have some apple or banana or put blueberries in my oatmeal, i give them some (the fruit, not the oatmeal).
Thank you SO much for this video! 💖
I really needed to see something as love like this…after watchinh the other video, with the poor piggies who were dumped💔 sweet little fursouls💖
My pigs are wheeking their song from the babies. Mine prefer the peel to the banana. Apple/pear are ok. Berries are loved. Orange section is ok, but not a favorite. Kiwi is very approved. Veggies are strongly preferred however. Must eat our lettuce and pepper before desert.
Dried fruit is higher in sugar by weight due to the water loss. So the sugar becomes more concentrated.
My piggies definitely prefer veggies than fruit but I know the importance of it. I offer if 3 or so times a week because if it’s any more they get sick of it 😂🤣
their so cute!
Looking beautiful as always, Saskia! 🌹
Ich habe letztens versucht meinen Meerschweinchen eine banane anzudrehen..... hoffnungslos - sind vor der banane geflüchtet....
Ab und zu gibt es mal für jedes Schwein ein Viertel Apfel. Meine Tochter füttert ab und zu mal so ein Stück Birne. Im Sommer gibt es Wassermelone darauf stehen alle. Bei Melone musst du schnell sein sonst kann es sein das sie vor lauter Gier dir in die Finger beißen.....🙈
Also Melone ist das einzige Obst für das sie morden würden die restlichen Obstarten sind ehr so semi beliebt u d bleibt meistens liegen darum gibt es das nicht so oft.
Thank you for the amazing work you do and please stay strong!
Thank You My Piggy Loves Fruit I felt so bad just giving 2 times a week👍
I'm really excited about this video. Thanks for the help.
Those babies are sooo cute! 😊
My piggies prefer greens much more than fruit but they will eat a little bit. I swear they know what is good for them and refuse what is bad.
it's thanks to you that I learned I didn't have to peal the banana for them.
when I adopted Charlie, he didn't know veggies and fresh fruits. only pellets and dried apple... I switched to fresh apples and tried to introduce him to vegetables that had a texture not too far from these (by this I mean not leaves, because it was a big no no). later, when he was bonded with his young silly friend, he realized he had to be quick to get things first and developed a taste for everything.
yet, the thickest part of endives, celeri branches and fennel are still his favorites. and oh the joy when a piece of fresh apple is at the menu ! : D
My piggy Cream (RIP) loved banana peels.
I don't have guinea piggies, but it seems that there's some confusion and maybe citing specific amounts PER PIGGIE might be useful as well as frequency: A mini dose given frequently, or a mega dose once a week? It was fun to see the little guys who assisted in the presentation.
I agree with that a little bit with food and pellets hay or straw mix it up make it interesting for them to eat.
Oh my goodness I love the babies!! I'm not sure I could keep from snuggling with them all day long!! Lol
Our big boy Chunky, 4 lbs 4 oz lol, is "afraid" of anything other than his hay, pellets, & usual greens. He ran away from the last banana lol We always have to let him size it up & think about it for a little bit before he'll take a tiny nibble 😂😂 His "brother" is about half his size & is down for anything he is given. They're so funny!!
Arr so cute and adorable little piggies , great information for all piggy lovers happy new year ❤️
I was surprised about the orange...do you peel it? Or just cut the into pieces with the peel on?
My piggies love apple but not fond of orange or banana. They are more of the vegetable loving kind :-)
I would love it if my trio would just attempt to eat a more varied amount, despite giving them a variety over the last 18 months I always end up chucking bell peppers, greens, herbs and a multitude of other veggies and fruit in the bin. The only veg they eat every day is romaine, cucumber, celery and carrots and very, very occasionally a strawberry. However, they love grass, grass and more grass, so off I go every single day and forage for wild grasses - whatever the weather/ temperature 🌞⛅⛈🌧❄💧☔.
That's very informative Saskia! One of the things I read a lot is to take it easy of the fruits because of the risk of diabetes. So I saw in different websites saying that maybe a blueberry twice a week or carrots pieces twice a week was enough. Good to know! Thanks!
I could have sworn in the past that Saskia had said no more than once a week as well, but maybe I'm mistaken. What Saskia said on this one now has me confused, because of what I heard from Scotty and I was sure Saskia said something different in older videos. Maybe I misunderstood something idk?
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT I would never had sad that lol. Scotty is not me and may have different opinions but pretty sure he is on board with one.
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue Okay, but I wasn't trying to be difficult I only gave my pigs fruits once a week because I was so sure both of you had said this. My apologies I misunderstood this. I am confused
You and Scotty and others originally told us fruit is a special treat every so often. Not every day. Because it can cause soft poops and high sugars. And that oranges are not good because it can cause sores because of the citric acid and that's why to give them the child's life vitamin c.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who remembers this. I was afraid I might of been mistaken. I'm so confused now.
Does not sound like me - i have always fed and advocated feeding of fruit. Ask Scotty - he is not affiliated with this channel though he is a volunteer of the rescue, he may have a different opinion but not me.
Oh i was among the first to started telling people that acid foods and fruits do not cause sores on the lips and mouth. That is caused by Cheilitis (I have more vids on the subject) Cheilitis is usually caused by food that is stuck at the gum line and starts to ferment there causing an increase of fungal and bacterial activity that may and often will cause mouth sores. I am also not a fan of giving guinea pigs synthetic vitamin C and will only supplement pigs if they are sick. All their VitC needs need to come from their fresh diets. I have a video on this. ruclips.net/video/5uWQL0GHgwY/видео.html
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue I just now saw your response to someone else I responded to. Its a good thing you bring back up these topics because I had only been giving my pigs fruit once a week. I'm not trying to be difficult, this just took me by surprise. Sometimes its good to do videos like this on topics you've covered before not just for all the new subscribers but some of us need to have our memories refreshed on this I guess. I was so sure it was once a week. Thanks for clarifying
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue I've been a fan for years I just don't comment much and was confused because I remember hearing differently and mostly just aiming for clarification because so many rely on you for information. I wasn't trying to come across in a negative way, was not my intent in the slightest.
My piggies run away from orange like it's gonna attack them! They love banana peel though. I've noticed that sometimes they like things & sometimes they don't, depends on their mood.
One of our girls is very sensitive to sugar - too much watery sweet fruits like watermelon causes very soft poops. I have to be careful in what fruits I give her and quantity.
Which pellets do you recommend for guineas under 1yr?
Also thanks for bringing up about oranges. However I could have sworn in the past you said to only give them fruit once a wheek. Now you're saying a small amount once a day is okay. Did you Not ever say to only give them fruit once a week? I know Scotty did videos where he said not to give your pigs fruit more than once a wheek. I'm not trying to be difficult I promise. I'm just confused now. I've learned a lot from you, but I still forget some things you've said in the past and have to re-watch some things. I hope banana leaves don't have too much sugar in them as I like to give my pigs a giant banana leaf every once in awhile, but some suggested it may be too much.
Fruits are fine honey, I would not have said that. You may be confused with Scotty? Ask him
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue I really am feeling confused right now . I was so sure both you and him had said once a week. I'm glad you did this video on a topic you've covered before because this not only helps out new subscribers and owners. I just learned something I thought I already knew the answer to all along. Thank You Mrs. Saskia Saskatoon Sass💯🐹🐹
Does banana leaves count as fruit? If so do I only give them that once a Wheek? Also Once again I NEVER got your card. I have an idea though. If I order something from your next sale, packages CAN be tracked at no extra charge. I was wondering if I order something from your next live sale video if you can just write a little note with whatever you wrote on the card you sent that I NEVER got. If the note is inside the package with whatever item I order, at least it can be tracked. If I buy something from you. would it be too much to ask if you could just write a little note with whatever you had said in the card I never got?
It may still be returned to me - that can take a while.
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue I really hope so. I contacted the post office and had them launch an investigation since this is the second time I didn't get anything. I still want to purchase something on your next sale video anyway. You know I always support you Mrs. Saskia💯🐹🐹
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT: The US Post Office has gotten horrendous over the past few years!! Suddenly, they started to lose at least one in ten packages I ordered online. I found a page on their site where they will search for an item for six full months, so I tried that. I got robotic updates every month saying it was never found.
@@myoldvhstapes Yeah, I doubt I will ever see it. I just hope that when I buy something from her next sale video that the post office don't lose that too. I am hoping she can just write on a piece of paper whatever she wrote me on the card that she sent that never came. See packages can be tracked unlike letters. Letters can only be tracked if its certified, but that cost money, so I've given up hope that I will ever see any card from her. Really bummed out about that. I just want to order something cool on the next sale video and hope she can put a little note inside. I hate to ask that, but that's the only way I will ever see any response in the mail from her.
Wow! I didn’t know about the peels! Same with orange peel?
Do u guys have any peruvian guinea pigs? At your pet rescue?
I give my piggies two time a week sliced apple 🍎🐖🐖🍎is ok or not?
I give versele laga the best
Hi Saskia! I may be adding a bonded pair of boy+girl to my current group of 5 girls. Any ideas on how to handle bonding of multiple guinea pigs at the time? Thanks!
Just "throw" them in together and watch the interactions. Make sure your cage is big enough to handle this many piggies and make absolutely sure the male is sterile before adding him to the girls.
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue Thank you!
Are there some guinea pigs that just don't get along with others? I have always heard that they need to live in pairs or greater? Are there some that just do better on their own?
How many blue berries can I give? I’ve heard they are bad if they eat too many
I give my pigs a piece every other day I have dried fruit treats but I give one piece to them 1 time a week is that fine?
What is your opinion on guinea pigs eating oats?
I give my Guinea pigs vitamin c in their waters is that okay or do I have to give it to them like once a week or something I do put it in their water whenever they need a refill
hi, i just noticed one of my piggys is bloated ive ordered colic drops but what can i do till it arrives? is there any food that causes it can i massage please help
Me trying different things with my girl because shes a diva she hates pellets and is picky ...
no matter how much food you put infront of them, they’ll always prefer eating their own poop
I give a slice of Banana slice of apple not all the time because of sugar. Water melon strawberries 1 each Sugar is Dangerous

omg sorry :P piggies got and they are awesome :)
Says: everything in moderation; gives us: two babies so sweet you could get diabetes instantly from them ;D
About the banana peel: don't know how it is in the US, but here in Europe i would be careful, bc the peel is normally treated with pesticides and other stuff. I'm not sure even the organic ones are treated much different, bc we people normally don't eat the peel and therefor the regulations about this might be not so strict.
