Honestly each guinea pig has a different personality so some don’t hate all of these things. My guinea pig actually loved being alone more an runs happily around the cage by herself an when I put her with someone she would be mad an try to fight them and got happy when I removed the company.She also loves getting her backside rubbed and stretches out like a cat purring for me to keep petting her she gets comfortable.
also w the dressing them thing i have seen guinea pigs who actually like it. like personally i dont think you should clothe them bc they might get hot but i have a diaper for mine so that he can be out without peeing or pooping on the ground.
As responsible owners We get to know our pets, some have special needs, for example, my guinea pig, dustbunny, had a bad history with other guinea pigs and ended up hating others around her, She was injured in both legs and is not much for exercise because of those injuries, once another guinea pig bit me and made me bleed, She smelled my injury and got noticeably angry, from that point it became impossible to have her near other piggies, She's got a skin condition and after having her fur grow too long it will start to hurt, we noticed that when she rejected being touched anywhere making pain noises, after a haircut She behaved a lot better, We keep her in a place where She feels safe and has constant access to food and vegetables, She's very picky with which foods She wants to eat, She won't forgive not getting some tomato daily, sometimes even rejecting lettuce, celery, bell pepper or anything else, She will want tomato, She's got quite the personality.
I let them have floor time with tons of hides and available space and they'll STILL escape the gate and run into unsafe areas 😡 I'm trynna save their lives 😭
Mine will run under the couch and they won’t come out the good way - by making noise with bags to make them think I’m feeding them, so I make them come out the bad way - I gotta have someone pull the couch up so I can pull them out otherwise they’ll get crushed if I try to push the couch
@@salma-pf5sj 6 months late, but if you have a broom or similar long-stick-like object, you can corral the pig(s) out from under a bed, couch, or dresser with a gentle sweeping motion. Much easier.
Thank you so much I have a friend who has two Guinea pigs and she did most of those horrible things and she didn’t know they were bad so this helped now she know to not do these things and now her Guinea pigs feel safe!!
my piggies absolutely LOVE the mini vacuum, because we use a small vacuum to clean there cage. they love it because they know after they hear the vacuum, they get veggies.
Interesting...I feed my piggies food BEFORE the vacuum since I worry that having no food or something to focus on while I clean will be a worse experience. Is one way better then the other?
They have exceptional hearing. When you go to the refrigerator, open it and close it and Apples or Carrots or some other treat they really like doesn't appear in front of them shortly, they'll start talking to you about it. Usually they hear the fridge door and start talking then. Lest you forget. Haven't had any for 25 years but remember that. Also remember having one and then walking into the room to having 5 the next day. They come out looking like miniature versions of Mom and if she ever nurses them, I didn't see it. They just waddled up to the food dish and dug in.
I have quail which are like guinea pigs in bird form. A lot of this list applies to them also. Compared with guinea pigs, I find quail a bit more interesting when no physical interaction is involved, although guinea pigs seem to tolerate handling more so are better for physical interaction. Of course it can come down to the individual animal, some can be more/less skittish than others of the same species. If a quail imprints on you at birth, it can tolerate handling very well.
This video is actually spot on I’ve kept piggy’s for 11 years of my life until the last of them passed away last year. But I would say the rabbit one is a case by case basis, I had a rabbit and a guinea pig that couldn’t be separated they had free range of my whole kitchen, but you’d always find them snuggled up together away from the rest. I was so glad that my rabbit could have company with them after her sibling passed away. I think she thought they were her babies 💖😊
I think the free range thing helped. They had space, so they could be around each other when they wanted to and separate if they wanted time to themselves as well.
@@khricket I’m not advocating “give your kid a Guinea pig and leave”. My child is now 16, and we have had Guinea pigs for the last 8 years. She still loves them, and so do I. I always advocate for parents to be parents : present, responsible, and a role model.
My guinea pig actually had a very big connection with my dog. They played with each other and they seemed to enjoy it. When my guinea pig is with me he’s squeaking like crazy but when he was with my dog he was calm and happy. My guinea pig was the last person to be with my dog before she sadly died. My dogs death was terrible. Bailey will be remembered. Ever since my guinea pig Nibbles has been very social.
My guinea pig saw my cat and they actually went by each other my guinea pig sniffed my cats face and she got scared and ran off. And he doesn’t stop eating his hay or flinch when he hears super loud thunder. He’s pretty odd but he’s cool😀
You guys better say good bye to your piggies before it's too late. Predatory instincts in cats and dogs may seem hidden, but they might kick in once in a while, especially in the presence of a prey animal. Not to mention the difference in size of the animals, a guinea pig may get injured when your dog is "playing with them"
Mine LOVES the vacuum. It makes my one popcorn lol. We used to vacuum up their poops when they had a fleece bedding and I think they thought it was a game or something lol
We have a very loud vacuum cleaner and none of my three guinea pigs are scared of it. everytime i vacuum around them, i can see them popcorning around their place 😭😂
Guinea pigs only hate being picked up if they haven’t been picked up much or if you pick them up wrong! You should gently pick them up often so that they get used to you. :)
Hard to try and pick them up as softly as possible when they keep running away, I'm still careful but I'm always having to chase them to hold them. Perhaps I need to do it more often.
@@Layla109 I have 4 and two of them just don’t like to be picked up. I’m home all day,no small children here, quiet environment, they are fine being petted and they get plenty of attention.. they just freak when I have to pick them up. I had one female live over 8 years and wasn’t a fan of being held. I think it depends on the piggie.
@@tarabannister9922 Oh wow. See, that’s what I think too being It’s the personality. My piggies personality are that one is chill and the other is more skittish but they both run when it’s time to be picked up. The chill one doesn’t mind being held for a time and the skittish one gets squirmy and tries to nip on me a little. Lol had them for about 2 years now.
I'm so sorry, I don't want to be one of those "well ackshually" pet owners... but just yesterday I learned that a guinea pig purring when you touch its back/butt means it's a bit uncomfortable. This is because it's an important place in the world of guinea pig dominance, so it's seen as "embarrassing" for guinea pigs to be pet on their butt. If Brownie is the dominant pig, she may be trying to tell you she's not a fan.. I pet my guinea pig's butt for a long time, and I don't want to make you feel bad :( but maybe this can help ruclips.net/video/BB8j3X3UyZA/видео.html&feature=emb_title
I’m sorry :( I know it must suck to be told your piggy didn’t love it, but if she was just quietly making noise I’m sure she wasn’t distressed or something. It’s just kind of an instinct left over from their wild days that activates when you touch areas around those glands. I’m sure she still loves being pet and the fact she stayed still meant she was willing for you to pet there to be pet in the first place! I’m sure she’ll appreciate headpets from now on just the same 💙💙💙 thank you for being so understanding
18. Loud noises (I would add 'any unexpected noise') 17. Not having somewhere to hide 16. Cold temperatures (below 15 degrees Celsius) 15. Heat (I'd say anything above 23 degrees Celsius) 14. Being picked up - they're fine once they are on your lap. Also, some piggies are more cuddly than others! 13. Being lonely 12. Travelling 11. Touching their butt (although I would say that you need to pick them up with one hand under their front paws and another under their butt) 10. Having a dirty smelly home 9. Damp, stale, dusty hay 8. Socialising with predators, e.g. Cats or dogs. 7. Washing them. 6. Not enough space to exercise 5. Visitors and strangers 4. Chasing after them 3. Being held for too long 2. Living with rabbits 1. Dressing your guinea pigs I would say that some of these are to absolutely 100% avoid (e.g. 1 and 2). Others are just to be aware of, so that ideally you can limit or reduce their stress. E.g. With strangers, they could feed them veggies through the bars of the hutch! For more tips, Little Adventures is a great channel to watch! :)
Um the heat thing. I live in a hot country and its above 28 Celsius every day. Had guinea pigs for like 15 years and theyve never died from heat stroke
The exercise thing; i think it's more meant for young guinea pigs that could be under a year or so, because my oldest piggy (who is 2 and a half years old) has a big place a does NOTHING, she lays in her tunnel all day and barely moves when i give them veggies. She aint fat either, nor have i noticed any sickness or something that could hurt her. She just lazy and doesnt want to run around 😂
@@man_imbored171 they must have gotten used to it probably. I mean, guinea pigs are still animals that need to survive in the wild, so their coat changes to adjust to the temperatures i guess.
as a guinea pig owner these are all true lol. however keeping their cage clean is hard as they poop everywhere and their cages become scattered with poo after only a day of being in the same cage. just clean it every few days and you’ll be fine
Yes . Someone understands! Guinea pigs poop 100+ times a day ad i have 3 of them . When you get bedding every few weeks it gets pricy but is worth their cute faces
@@YouMostlikly_Dk_me101 a solution to not buy bedding every week is to buy fleece because it is super cheap and works very well + to clean them all you have to do is wash them in the washer then dry in the dryer and put it back in the cage!
I’ve had two guniea pigs for 4 years and its true they still hate to be picked up. They try to run away but once we take them out they love cuddling under the blanket
My pig absolutely loves to travel with me in cars, I always make sure the music isn’t too loud and when the car drives over loud bumps, I hold him against me a little tighter, (not too tight of course). In fact, he’ll climb on me no problem in the car to view his surroundings. Obviously I’m usually not the one driving but he loves it
At least 3 of these were wrong with a couple if those being very wrong! I've been raising guinea pigs for more then 15 years and I closely follow Scotty's Animals and the largest guinea pig rescue in the world, the LA Guinea Pig Rescue in California both of which also have RUclips channels of the same names.
Yes. When I start cleaning the cage my gp is not afraid of the hand-held vacuum I use. My male comes out strutting and popcorning, but the female does not like it.
One of my guinea pigs loved to cuddle, the only time he would fidget is when he had to pee xD He’s so considerate, always warns us when he needs to pee so we don’t suffer consequences xD
We had Guinea pigs when I was a kid. They had a cage outside with 2 houses inside and hay / water/ food and the wheat stuff to keep warm At one side of the cage there was a door to a balcony and a ramp which was almost always open in summer. (In winter we took them inside the house) The ramp lead down to a self built outside cage which was ~2 x 4 meters with grass, houses, tunnels etc. They could go outside and inside whenever they wanted and in summer when we were in the garden to watch out for cats etc we opened another door to let them out into the whole garden. It was so big for them, they followed us around etc. They had a really good life I guess.
My guinea pig loves being in the car. Me and my family went on a road trip with my 2 other guinea pigs and we took her. She took like 7 or 8 naps and was completely comfortable with the car she was actually happy not stressed or anxious.
Haha, one of my cats have a bond with my pigs and the pigs scared her jumping up and she went to boop 'em - her claws were not out and I was holding her she was not in the cage.
Sound advice! Except to say, in my case, my Guinea Pigs lived with both cats and rabbits and they genuinely all got along perfectly well. Of course they all had their own separate spaces, but they were often all in the garden or running about the house together and there was never any problems. I get that this is the exception rather than the rule, but I guess I was just very fortunate.
I have a couple of pigs who are very curious when new people come in the house. The only time I've seen people put "clothes" on their guinea pig is when the piggy had mange and it was the only way to get them to stop scratching. Scotty from Scotty's Animals had to do this with one that he was fostering because every time the poor piggy would scratch it would cause him to have a seizure. Also, some piggies love car rides. I had one who we thought was a dog in another life cause she loved watching out the car window at everything that passed by.
I love guinea pigs. I once had 2 piggies in 1 cage...one was always chasing and attacking the other to the point where one would seem to try to hurt the other. So I got a second cage...put them near each other so the 2 piggies could see..smell and squeal to each other but no one's safety was at risk. They were both happier and less stressed. Sadly my cats would would torment any that I would have now...so I can't have guinea pigs at the moment. I've had guinea pigs at the same time as my current cats...that's how I know that would happen.
2:34 me with a Guinea pig that'll crawl from the floor to me, then try to climb on my chest like pick himself up and stretch his body out trying to get me to pick him up-
@@loosinggrip well no actually I have four planning on getting five. The Guinea pig I was talking about my sister spoiled. But I have two males and two females
I live in south Florida and there’s a lot of thunder storms especially in the summer, I assume my guinea pigs are used to the thunder because of how often it happens.
6:49 okay their bodies are NOT made to run and jump around. That's why it's very dangerous to get them a hamster wheel because their back isn't made for twisting and curling. Yeah mine like to run around and chase each other, but they are not flexible animals and are very fragile.
I had a guinea pig that really liked my cat. like really liked my cat. The guinea pig was a male and so was the cat. I started noticing the guinea pig was making interesting noises around the cat, looked up what those noises were and they were mating noises. One time when the guinea pig was cuddling up next to the cat, he upset at the cat by emitting something into the cat 💧😳. The cat was pissed off but didn't attack the guinea pig because I guess he didn't want any more of the stuff on him 😫.
My guinea used to loud noises, he doesn't mind hammering, sawing, drilling, vacuuming, slaming, coughing, barking. When I used saw to prepare wooden cage stuff, he was puting nose out of the cage, munching treats, to check what the humie does on the floor.
Somehow I got to be one of five or six actors that the directors would use as guinea pigs at this directing colloquium, where people pay to listen to and watch the directors direct.
I Had 2 guinea pigs and plenty of their babies years ago. They used to sit on the sofa with us they had their own cushion and they would come lay on us for a pet and strech their legs out lay on their backs for a belly rub and sleep on us whenever they wanted. You could bring them out in the garden they would always stay nearby and the babies just followed in line with the mum up front and the dad at the back of the line. Havny had any since then. But makes me want to get more. The mummy pig Lucy llived for about 10 years 🤗
I put clothes on my Guinea pig, because he's a skinny pig, (hes hairless). So sometimes when it gets really cold, I put on clothes on him to make him warm (Clothes like a sweater). He may not like it at first but it makes him feel better.
when I was 6 I had a guinea pig that wenever i hold it they climbed to my shoulders so I though it was because he loved me so much he wanted to be as close as possible,then they told me it was because it wanted to hide on my hair
I meant the part where you’re saying that they’re scared of being picked up but my guinea pig honeybees whenever I go close to their cage she literally goes to me and wants me to pick her up so she’s not scared of me picking her up
Great info for new piggy owners. I have had well over 600 over the years - from breeding rare varieties for shows to rescue piggies, even a little family of pink eyed white satins rescued from a laboratory that was closing. Getting to understand your piggies individual needs is a must. If you get this right, it's actually easy. The starting point is absolutely what you show in this video. By the way I just have 1 piggy now, and "Fudge" says hi
I commiserate with You Miss. 😯😥😢😔🤧🙏 But Please don't vorry about your guineapig.🙃 I'm ceartenly sure waiting for You in Heaven.🤗 Like my lovely 7 pigges,1 diugarian hamster(Mikrus), 1 male of Nimfa parrot( Irokez) ,and probbaly 1 sweet Mouse(Skipper). 🧐😃We meet There Someday! 🐹😇🙏❤️
I have 2 males that I keep separated, do to fighting and biting each other. They kept side by side in their own areas, they can still see each other.. Thank you for this video.
Still, they need a partner with them. May I ask how old they are? An old one + a younger one often works better. Socialization also plays a big part. I think the wisest choice would be to castrate them and give each one female.
@@Azure_Fox They are probably a bit hormonal. The best option would be to get a castrated/neutered male guinea pig, but please at least 1,5 or 2 years old from a good breeder. Most of the time an older male guinea pig is experienced enough with females and knows how to fulfill their needs and tone down conflicts, they work as "mediators".
If that won't work and the females do not get along character wise, you still could get another castrated male guinea pig and separate both pairs. Though most of the time that won't be needed.
Actually nice video but I have to correct you at the loneliness thing: They should NEVER be kept alone and a human cannot replace a same-species companion.
i had three guinea a pigs, but one had to be taken away from the other two as he was attacking them as a sign of dominance. he has been healthy and happy every since. they were all raised together so they didn’t need introduction. the other two lived in the same cage still, until one passed away last week. it was really sad. now i am working to re-introduce the two that fought so that the one who’s cage-mate died, won’t get depressed. it’s been hard to get them to not fight again so i try everyday and stop when they fight. i’m scared for the one who’s now recently alone because he’s never been without his bestfriend. what should i do?
@@zoecercando3096 such situations are complicated. Are they all males? Because in males, especially in groups, uncastrated guineas mostly don't get along very well. If castrated and raised together this can work well, but two uncastrated adult males will fight. I would consider castration for both and/or if this doesn't work, castration and then (after 6 weeks of quarantine because of remaining sperm!) getting a female for each one of them, because two males will fight for the female. So the option if they don't get along would be two separate cages and getting each one a female partner or rehoming one and getting a female for the other I guess :/
@@denisemuller7483 yes they are both males. they haven’t been castrated or neutered, but got along when they were younger, as they were sprayed with the same sent, making them believe they are related. they are getting older, i’ve had them for about 3.5 years and they weren’t newborns when we got them, but maybe around like children?? would it be worth it to have them castrated to put them together? thanks so much for replying and helping me out :)
This is all really true and I appreciate how much research you must have done to get this right. There is just one thing I want to point out, a human is no substitute for another guinea pig, you should always have at least two. My two were raised together so there was no need for an introduction. If you are getting separate guinea pigs to put together, make sure to do a proper introduction.
The cage graphic on this video is grossly to small for guinea pigs. That's actually a pet store guinea pig cage which should be illegal to sell. They are more then 3x to small at the extreme bare minimum. I've raised guinea pigs most my adult life save the best, cheapest cage you can get your guinea pig is a C&C cage. Look up the letters C&C cage on RUclips or Google, Scotty's Animals is a great RUclips that covers C&C cages. While they are a built-it-yourself type of cage the cages are super simple and really cheap to make and these cages last forever basically. Furthermore unlike hamsters, guinea pig's cages do not need a top/ceiling unless you want one too protect them from your dogs or cats because guinea pigs can't climb and they rarely try to leave their own cage even if there is no door. That's not too say that some guinea pigs are timid explorers but they really prefer they're own home and once they've established that the cage you've placed them in is home, well home = safety. The part about guinea pigs not like being picked up isn't entirely true. Most guinea pigs don't like being picked up but enjoy being cuddled, it's simply the shock of giant hands coming to "get them" they don't like but that's only for young guinea pigs who don't know you. I've had guinea pigs who have loved me so much that they have cried out for me to pick them up and one I reach in to pick them up they crawl into my hands. I even have had one guinea pig that her cage no longer has a door so she can crawl out of her cage and come to me. She has two cages; 1 cage in my bedroom without a door and connected to my bed. She lives alone and she sleeps with me only going to get cage when she has to go potty. Her 2nd cage is on the front room for the same reason, to go potty in and eat her food otherwise she wants to snuggle under my blanket. She lives alone because she's aggressive to other guinea pigs, I have 3 others but she can't be anywhere near then. Still she's very happy cuddling with me and I'm retired so I can devote all my time to making sure she has a wonderful life.
this channel is known for showing bad graphics and examples and it’s really disappointing. i remember in one of the rabbit care videos they should a rabbit on a wire bottom cage which is a big no no. i wish they put a little more care into their graphics and examples shown.
Every time I petted my piggies lower back he would purr for me. He loved it. It wasn't his butt area, but I loved making him purr. I wish he were still here with me :'(
*no pets near the pigge* I have a piggy and 2 bunnies and since we got those bunnies my pigge looks a lot happier and likes to play with them (she's the dominant she is 3 years older than them)
Thanks so much for this video!i got two Guinea pigs about 5 months ago,and I have been doing ALOT of wrong things,but now I know what I was doing wrong,this was very helpful!
Well my guinea pig feels safe when I carry him he also watches movies with me o can tell he like being carried because he calms down whe I carry him also guinea pigs are suuuuppppeeerrrr cuuuuttteee
I must have the exception. I have a hairless guinea pig who loves to cuddle for hours. I've had guinea pigs in the past and everything said in this video was accurate for them. My piggie has a blanket she loves to cuddle in and just sleep on me, I know I'll jinx myself here but I've had her for 3 months now and got her as a baby and she has not peed on anyone. She'll either let us know by getting a little fidgety trying to get off of us, or I guess she holds it. I try to only hold her for an hour at max (although it has been longer when I lost track of time) because I don't want her to hold it in but she's so good! I won't lie, tried the whole getting her a sweater thing because she's hairless and she wanted nothing to do with it so she just gets blankets ❤❤. The video is right about cleanliness because she will not pee (very rarely do I find poop] on her blanket or in her hideaway.

Aww that’s adorable I don’t use a vacuum but I let them have floor time while I clean the cage and then I feed them it makes them so happy
Interesting...I feed my piggies food BEFORE the vacuum since I worry that having no food or something to focus on while I clean will be a worse experience. Is one way better then the other?
That's very smart
My babies love the broom... to chew on
Will I ever own a guinea pig? Propably not. Would I like to know what makes them sad so I can avoid doing that? Absolutley yes.
Omggg why is this so true 😅
They have exceptional hearing. When you go to the refrigerator, open it and close it and Apples or Carrots or some other treat they really like doesn't appear in front of them shortly, they'll start talking to you about it. Usually they hear the fridge door and start talking then. Lest you forget. Haven't had any for 25 years but remember that. Also remember having one and then walking into the room to having 5 the next day. They come out looking like miniature versions of Mom and if she ever nurses them, I didn't see it. They just waddled up to the food dish and dug in.
I'm surprised "being thrown against wall" didn't make the list.
Me too but I guess they must like it 😳
oh yeah, my guinea pig loves being thrown on the wall
/j
Who tf would do that
@@lorissarose5045 it’s a joke lmfao (I hope )
I just woke up my boyfriend laughing at this, oops
I have quail which are like guinea pigs in bird form. A lot of this list applies to them also. Compared with guinea pigs, I find quail a bit more interesting when no physical interaction is involved, although guinea pigs seem to tolerate handling more so are better for physical interaction. Of course it can come down to the individual animal, some can be more/less skittish than others of the same species. If a quail imprints on you at birth, it can tolerate handling very well.
This video is actually spot on I’ve kept piggy’s for 11 years of my life until the last of them passed away last year. But I would say the rabbit one is a case by case basis, I had a rabbit and a guinea pig that couldn’t be separated they had free range of my whole kitchen, but you’d always find them snuggled up together away from the rest. I was so glad that my rabbit could have company with them after her sibling passed away. I think she thought they were her babies 💖😊
When I was little we kept our rabbit and Guinea pigs together and they also went along great. The bunny would even wash the Guinea pigs :)
No its not this video is garbage
That is so sweet❤❤❤❤
I think the free range thing helped. They had space, so they could be around each other when they wanted to and separate if they wanted time to themselves as well.
Don’t know why I clicked but I did
Best decision ever
I did
I giggled because same
I don’t even own guinea pigs yet here I am.
Saaammmmeeee
Loud noises: They now sleep during our loud noises. They've become part of a latin family.
They are latin creatures from latin america.
@@marcosmoskorz9077 must be it.
KSKSKSKSAKKAKA mine is like this
Nahh literally my guinea pig sleeps through my mom yelling at me🤣😭
@@kimg4175 our cat and them have the same sleeping cycle, now.
the stock images are terrifying and half of them are hamsters 😭
True haha!😆
LMAOO
And the cage is way too small
They are THE BEST pets for small children……lovely creatures. Always excited to see you, vocal, calm to hold.
@UCsKRmY52v3A3zKm7w7teYVg right would not say that is accurate. Kids are assholes piggy’s just want a full belly and a stress less life
Is this sarcasm? They have very delicate bone structures and get injured easily.
@@khricket I’m not advocating “give your kid a Guinea pig and leave”.
My child is now 16, and we have had Guinea pigs for the last 8 years. She still loves them, and so do I. I always advocate for parents to be parents : present, responsible, and a role model.
My guinea pig actually had a very big connection with my dog. They played with each other and they seemed to enjoy it. When my guinea pig is with me he’s squeaking like crazy but when he was with my dog he was calm and happy. My guinea pig was the last person to be with my dog before she sadly died. My dogs death was terrible. Bailey will be remembered. Ever since my guinea pig Nibbles has been very social.
My guinea pig saw my cat and they actually went by each other my guinea pig sniffed my cats face and she got scared and ran off. And he doesn’t stop eating his hay or flinch when he hears super loud thunder. He’s pretty odd but he’s cool😀
Sounds nice 😎
My cats see my guinea pigs as deformed kittens and they love them. Please note tht almost all of my cats have been mothers at some point.
Mine chases my dog and she runs away but he will run after her and when I look at him he will run away and my dog will look at him ☠
One of my cats and my pigs have a bond when the pigs scare the cat she makes sure to tuck in her class in the boop like are you ok?
You guys better say good bye to your piggies before it's too late. Predatory instincts in cats and dogs may seem hidden, but they might kick in once in a while, especially in the presence of a prey animal. Not to mention the difference in size of the animals, a guinea pig may get injured when your dog is "playing with them"
What is stressful to guiny pigs: L I F E
YES
Same here
I relate
That's me then a fat GP
*guinnea pig
Over-sensitive? They literally just vibe
Btw, ours couldn’t care less about a vacuum cleaner
Mine LOVES the vacuum. It makes my one popcorn lol. We used to vacuum up their poops when they had a fleece bedding and I think they thought it was a game or something lol
We have a very loud vacuum cleaner and none of my three guinea pigs are scared of it. everytime i vacuum around them, i can see them popcorning around their place 😭😂
My pigs an absolute diva.
dang...my piggies despise the vacuum
Mine live with loud me, a lot of the time they look forward to me bouncing to their room
Guinea pigs only hate being picked up if they haven’t been picked up much or if you pick them up wrong! You should gently pick them up often so that they get used to you. :)
Hard to try and pick them up as softly as possible when they keep running away, I'm still careful but I'm always having to chase them to hold them. Perhaps I need to do it more often.
@@Layla109 I have 4 and two of them just don’t like to be picked up. I’m home all day,no small children here, quiet environment, they are fine being petted and they get plenty of attention.. they just freak when I have to pick them up. I had one female live over 8 years and wasn’t a fan of being held. I think it depends on the piggie.
@@tarabannister9922 Oh wow. See, that’s what I think too being It’s the personality. My piggies personality are that one is chill and the other is more skittish but they both run when it’s time to be picked up. The chill one doesn’t mind being held for a time and the skittish one gets squirmy and tries to nip on me a little. Lol had them for about 2 years now.
My guinea pig (Brownie) LOVES her butt being scratched lol. She’ll just sit there and purr and vibrate ❤️💕🐹
I'm so sorry, I don't want to be one of those "well ackshually" pet owners... but just yesterday I learned that a guinea pig purring when you touch its back/butt means it's a bit uncomfortable. This is because it's an important place in the world of guinea pig dominance, so it's seen as "embarrassing" for guinea pigs to be pet on their butt. If Brownie is the dominant pig, she may be trying to tell you she's not a fan.. I pet my guinea pig's butt for a long time, and I don't want to make you feel bad :( but maybe this can help
ruclips.net/video/BB8j3X3UyZA/видео.html&feature=emb_title
@@msunflowers thank you for letting me know!!
I’m sorry :( I know it must suck to be told your piggy didn’t love it, but if she was just quietly making noise I’m sure she wasn’t distressed or something. It’s just kind of an instinct left over from their wild days that activates when you touch areas around those glands. I’m sure she still loves being pet and the fact she stayed still meant she was willing for you to pet there to be pet in the first place! I’m sure she’ll appreciate headpets from now on just the same 💙💙💙 thank you for being so understanding
18. Loud noises (I would add 'any unexpected noise')
17. Not having somewhere to hide
16. Cold temperatures (below 15 degrees Celsius)
15. Heat (I'd say anything above 23 degrees Celsius)
14. Being picked up - they're fine once they are on your lap. Also, some piggies are more cuddly than others!
13. Being lonely
12. Travelling
11. Touching their butt (although I would say that you need to pick them up with one hand under their front paws and another under their butt)
10. Having a dirty smelly home
9. Damp, stale, dusty hay
8. Socialising with predators, e.g. Cats or dogs.
7. Washing them.
6. Not enough space to exercise
5. Visitors and strangers
4. Chasing after them
3. Being held for too long
2. Living with rabbits
1. Dressing your guinea pigs
I would say that some of these are to absolutely 100% avoid (e.g. 1 and 2). Others are just to be aware of, so that ideally you can limit or reduce their stress. E.g. With strangers, they could feed them veggies through the bars of the hutch!
For more tips, Little Adventures is a great channel to watch! :)
Scotty's Animals is a great channel for guinea pig information also!!
Um the heat thing. I live in a hot country and its above 28 Celsius every day. Had guinea pigs for like 15 years and theyve never died from heat stroke
The exercise thing; i think it's more meant for young guinea pigs that could be under a year or so, because my oldest piggy (who is 2 and a half years old) has a big place a does NOTHING, she lays in her tunnel all day and barely moves when i give them veggies. She aint fat either, nor have i noticed any sickness or something that could hurt her. She just lazy and doesnt want to run around 😂
@@man_imbored171 they must have gotten used to it probably. I mean, guinea pigs are still animals that need to survive in the wild, so their coat changes to adjust to the temperatures i guess.
Things they hate:
Explosions, being frozen, being cooked alive, being eaten
Yeah, good job there mate...
Don’t forget they hate butt stuff too.
@@u-knobreezy4035 The Heck😶
Good about being cooked alive....
lmao i just laughed out loud
LOL
as a guinea pig owner these are all true lol. however keeping their cage clean is hard as they poop everywhere and their cages become scattered with poo after only a day of being in the same cage. just clean it every few days and you’ll be fine
Yes . Someone understands! Guinea pigs poop 100+ times a day ad i have 3 of them . When you get bedding every few weeks it gets pricy but is worth their cute faces
@@YouMostlikly_Dk_me101 a solution to not buy bedding every week is to buy fleece because it is super cheap and works very well + to clean them all you have to do is wash them in the washer then dry in the dryer and put it back in the cage!
@@user-avvaaaa tysm i never thought about that ! My first gp i ever got has her first b day on july 3rd! Im gonna buy her treats
No-actually you must spot clean EVERY DAY and deep clean their home once a week. I have 3 piggies and they are little poop and pee machines!
Dude even with only two, its a mess again 2 minuets after the clean.
I’ve had two guniea pigs for 4 years and its true they still hate to be picked up. They try to run away but once we take them out they love cuddling under the blanket
My pig absolutely loves to travel with me in cars, I always make sure the music isn’t too loud and when the car drives over loud bumps, I hold him against me a little tighter, (not too tight of course). In fact, he’ll climb on me no problem in the car to view his surroundings. Obviously I’m usually not the one driving but he loves it
And I know he likes it because he’s always chirping and talking:) I know what each of there noises mean too
Same my pigs love driving they squeak at us to let them look around!
Our guinea pigs: GIVE ME MOAR HAYYYYYYY
My family: You are too spoiled, PLUS YOU ALREADY HAVE HAY
Add in
Give me moar hay!! I need to sleep eat and shit on it!
Guinea pigs actually need a constant supply of hay to keep them healthy 😬
My 2 guinea pigs do the same thing
Ours loved parsley
Try it
According to my friend he said that all of these are true for him and I am going to get a guinea pig in the future so I can’t wait
hi.
make sure to buy at least two please
don't forget that they need a big cage, I would recommend a C and C cage, Amazon has some
At least 3 of these were wrong with a couple if those being very wrong! I've been raising guinea pigs for more then 15 years and I closely follow Scotty's Animals and the largest guinea pig rescue in the world, the LA Guinea Pig Rescue in California both of which also have RUclips channels of the same names.
same i’m debating for a guinea pig or rabbit
My guinea pig loves the vacuum, she comes out and popcorns around excitedly
Yes. When I start cleaning the cage my gp is not afraid of the hand-held vacuum I use. My male comes out strutting and popcorning, but the female does not like it.
One of my guinea pigs loved to cuddle, the only time he would fidget is when he had to pee xD He’s so considerate, always warns us when he needs to pee so we don’t suffer consequences xD
We had Guinea pigs when I was a kid.
They had a cage outside with 2 houses inside and hay / water/ food and the wheat stuff to keep warm
At one side of the cage there was a door to a balcony and a ramp which was almost always open in summer. (In winter we took them inside the house)
The ramp lead down to a self built outside cage which was ~2 x 4 meters with grass, houses, tunnels etc.
They could go outside and inside whenever they wanted and in summer when we were in the garden to watch out for cats etc we opened another door to let them out into the whole garden. It was so big for them, they followed us around etc.
They had a really good life I guess.
My guinea pig loves being in the car. Me and my family went on a road trip with my 2 other guinea pigs and we took her. She took like 7 or 8 naps and was completely comfortable with the car she was actually happy not stressed or anxious.
My guinea pigs walk up to my dog but my dogs scared of them lmao
LOL
Haha, one of my cats have a bond with my pigs and the pigs scared her jumping up and she went to boop 'em - her claws were not out and I was holding her she was not in the cage.
Ex-plosion!!!!!
My little pig runs up to my cat and the cat gets scared lol
Number 19 - Get them a better cage that they can acually walk in :)
2:07 Bro the way he laying there tho. 😂😂😂😂
Sound advice!
Except to say, in my case, my Guinea Pigs lived with both cats and rabbits and they genuinely all got along perfectly well.
Of course they all had their own separate spaces, but they were often all in the garden or running about the house together and there was never any problems.
I get that this is the exception rather than the rule, but I guess I was just very fortunate.
"you have to keep them in a air ventelated room" but you said dont keep him in air ventelated rooms
lmaoo
I think what he meant was not to have them in a room that has direct vent air towards where they’re at but a room that’s well circulated :)
My guinea pigs: *Poops everywhere and my mom doesent have much time to clean*

my pig loves being picked up. he always squeaks when i wake up for love and food. lol
I have a couple of pigs who are very curious when new people come in the house. The only time I've seen people put "clothes" on their guinea pig is when the piggy had mange and it was the only way to get them to stop scratching. Scotty from Scotty's Animals had to do this with one that he was fostering because every time the poor piggy would scratch it would cause him to have a seizure. Also, some piggies love car rides. I had one who we thought was a dog in another life cause she loved watching out the car window at everything that passed by.
I love guinea pigs. I once had 2 piggies in 1 cage...one was always chasing and attacking the other to the point where one would seem to try to hurt the other. So I got a second cage...put them near each other so the 2 piggies could see..smell and squeal to each other but no one's safety was at risk. They were both happier and less stressed. Sadly my cats would would torment any that I would have now...so I can't have guinea pigs at the moment. I've had guinea pigs at the same time as my current cats...that's how I know that would happen.
I buy them from stores just to torture them to death.

@@therat_inyourwalls327 hi.
6:49 okay their bodies are NOT made to run and jump around. That's why it's very dangerous to get them a hamster wheel because their back isn't made for twisting and curling. Yeah mine like to run around and chase each other, but they are not flexible animals and are very fragile.
My guinea pigs jump around and run around whenever they are happy?
I had a guinea pig that really liked my cat. like really liked my cat. The guinea pig was a male and so was the cat. I started noticing the guinea pig was making interesting noises around the cat, looked up what those noises were and they were mating noises. One time when the guinea pig was cuddling up next to the cat, he upset at the cat by emitting something into the cat 💧😳.
The cat was pissed off but didn't attack the guinea pig because I guess he didn't want any more of the stuff on him 😫.
Oh that's a great tip with the frozen water bottle!
My piggies love cuddles, they sing to be to pick them up.
My guinea used to loud noises, he doesn't mind hammering, sawing, drilling, vacuuming, slaming, coughing, barking.
When I used saw to prepare wooden cage stuff, he was puting nose out of the cage, munching treats, to check what the humie does on the floor.
I have 2 guinea pigs and they love being hold and my guinea pig loves chin rubs and my other one he loves going behind our hair lol

@@buzzybee3555 Hello
I feel like guinea pigs might be my new spirit animal somehow.
I Had 2 guinea pigs and plenty of their babies years ago. They used to sit on the sofa with us they had their own cushion and they would come lay on us for a pet and strech their legs out lay on their backs for a belly rub and sleep on us whenever they wanted. You could bring them out in the garden they would always stay nearby and the babies just followed in line with the mum up front and the dad at the back of the line. Havny had any since then. But makes me want to get more. The mummy pig Lucy llived for about 10 years 🤗
I have an Unneutered male and he is one of the best animals I’ve ever had, super social, and loves his greens 😁
I put clothes on my Guinea pig, because he's a skinny pig, (hes hairless). So sometimes when it gets really cold, I put on clothes on him to make him warm (Clothes like a sweater). He may not like it at first but it makes him feel better.
They forgot to menshin that except for skinny pigs they need a sweeter to keep them warm
Guinea pigs and squirrels make me melt. 💗
I could put them in my pocket.
naw man... hamsters or nothing. lol
The Norris Nuts need to see this lmao
Thank you so much for those infomations!!
Aww such cuties!! Our Guineas and I loved seeing these adorable cuties!!
when I was 6 I had a guinea pig that wenever i hold it they climbed to my shoulders so I though it was because he loved me so much he wanted to be as close as possible,then they told me it was because it wanted to hide on my hair
I meant the part where you’re saying that they’re scared of being picked up but my guinea pig honeybees whenever I go close to their cage she literally goes to me and wants me to pick her up so she’s not scared of me picking her up
My guinea pigs literally ADORE my dogs
Great info for new piggy owners. I have had well over 600 over the years - from breeding rare varieties for shows to rescue piggies, even a little family of pink eyed white satins rescued from a laboratory that was closing. Getting to understand your piggies individual needs is a must. If you get this right, it's actually easy. The starting point is absolutely what you show in this video. By the way I just have 1 piggy now, and "Fudge" says hi
Hi fudge

Soooo it's exactly like having a chinchilla. My four fight tooth and nail when they get picked up but then they're fine when you hold them.
I have 2 males that I keep separated, do to fighting and biting each other. They kept side by side in their own areas, they can still see each other.. Thank you for this video.
hi.
Still, they need a partner with them.
May I ask how old they are? An old one + a younger one often works better. Socialization also plays a big part.
I think the wisest choice would be to castrate them and give each one female.
@@christophjanssen9324 I have 2 females, one young and the other one older. They aren't getting along. What should I do?
@@Azure_Fox They are probably a bit hormonal.
The best option would be to get a castrated/neutered male guinea pig, but please at least 1,5 or 2 years old from a good breeder.
Most of the time an older male guinea pig is experienced enough with females and knows how to fulfill their needs and tone down conflicts, they work as "mediators".
If that won't work and the females do not get along character wise, you still could get another castrated male guinea pig and separate both pairs.
Though most of the time that won't be needed.
Actually nice video but I have to correct you at the loneliness thing: They should NEVER be kept alone and a human cannot replace a same-species companion.
i had three guinea a pigs, but one had to be taken away from the other two as he was attacking them as a sign of dominance. he has been healthy and happy every since. they were all raised together so they didn’t need introduction. the other two lived in the same cage still, until one passed away last week. it was really sad. now i am working to re-introduce the two that fought so that the one who’s cage-mate died, won’t get depressed. it’s been hard to get them to not fight again so i try everyday and stop when they fight. i’m scared for the one who’s now recently alone because he’s never been without his bestfriend. what should i do?
@@zoecercando3096 such situations are complicated. Are they all males? Because in males, especially in groups, uncastrated guineas mostly don't get along very well. If castrated and raised together this can work well, but two uncastrated adult males will fight. I would consider castration for both and/or if this doesn't work, castration and then (after 6 weeks of quarantine because of remaining sperm!) getting a female for each one of them, because two males will fight for the female. So the option if they don't get along would be two separate cages and getting each one a female partner or rehoming one and getting a female for the other I guess :/
@@denisemuller7483 yes they are both males. they haven’t been castrated or neutered, but got along when they were younger, as they were sprayed with the same sent, making them believe they are related. they are getting older, i’ve had them for about 3.5 years and they weren’t newborns when we got them, but maybe around like children?? would it be worth it to have them castrated to put them together? thanks so much for replying and helping me out :)
I love the cartoon portrayal of a Guinea pig. So cute 🥰
Thank you for made this video! it helped me with my Guineas pig, I loved ;)
This is all really true and I appreciate how much research you must have done to get this right. There is just one thing I want to point out, a human is no substitute for another guinea pig, you should always have at least two. My two were raised together so there was no need for an introduction. If you are getting separate guinea pigs to put together, make sure to do a proper introduction.
The cage graphic on this video is grossly to small for guinea pigs. That's actually a pet store guinea pig cage which should be illegal to sell. They are more then 3x to small at the extreme bare minimum. I've raised guinea pigs most my adult life save the best, cheapest cage you can get your guinea pig is a C&C cage.
Look up the letters C&C cage on RUclips or Google, Scotty's Animals is a great RUclips that covers C&C cages. While they are a built-it-yourself type of cage the cages are super simple and really cheap to make and these cages last forever basically. Furthermore unlike hamsters, guinea pig's cages do not need a top/ceiling unless you want one too protect them from your dogs or cats because guinea pigs can't climb and they rarely try to leave their own cage even if there is no door. That's not too say that some guinea pigs are timid explorers but they really prefer they're own home and once they've established that the cage you've placed them in is home, well home = safety.
The part about guinea pigs not like being picked up isn't entirely true. Most guinea pigs don't like being picked up but enjoy being cuddled, it's simply the shock of giant hands coming to "get them" they don't like but that's only for young guinea pigs who don't know you. I've had guinea pigs who have loved me so much that they have cried out for me to pick them up and one I reach in to pick them up they crawl into my hands. I even have had one guinea pig that her cage no longer has a door so she can crawl out of her cage and come to me. She has two cages; 1 cage in my bedroom without a door and connected to my bed. She lives alone and she sleeps with me only going to get cage when she has to go potty. Her 2nd cage is on the front room for the same reason, to go potty in and eat her food otherwise she wants to snuggle under my blanket. She lives alone because she's aggressive to other guinea pigs, I have 3 others but she can't be anywhere near then. Still she's very happy cuddling with me and I'm retired so I can devote all my time to making sure she has a wonderful life.
it’s a drawing in a video telling you how to look after one better it’s not that deep lmao
It’s a animation, it doesn’t have to be perfect like in real life, don’t have to be so deep about pixels and noise
this channel is known for showing bad graphics and examples and it’s really disappointing. i remember in one of the rabbit care videos they should a rabbit on a wire bottom cage which is a big no no. i wish they put a little more care into their graphics and examples shown.
Lmao the graphics are so ugly I didn't even realize all that
Thank you for saying the graphic of the cage was too small, thats the first thing i said too!
Every time I petted my piggies lower back he would purr for me. He loved it. It wasn't his butt area, but I loved making him purr. I wish he were still here with me :'(
I'm getting my Guinea on the 4th and it was nice to learn more about their care to make sure my Guinea is the happiest it can be
I want more bunny videos ❤️
thanks a LOT for USEFUL information SERIOUSLY
They hate human sneezes. Period. I can't sneeze without a butt rumble or two.
Hiccups too!
*no pets near the pigge* I have a piggy and 2 bunnies and since we got those bunnies my pigge looks a lot happier and likes to play with them (she's the dominant she is 3 years older than them)
Probably because your guinea pig is lonely without another piggy.
The can pass on disease and rabbits can easily injure them. They shouldn’t mix
yeah those people are right you need to keep them away from the rabbits and get another guinea pig or surrender them.

Bro its their own fault for crapping every 10 seconds, if i cleaned the cage every time they crapped id never see daylight
I don’t like how the animation has weird creepy eyes and kind of looks more like a hamster or something.
I would not think ones friendly dog would bother that person's guinea pig.But,I believe this video.
I must have the exception. I have a hairless guinea pig who loves to cuddle for hours. I've had guinea pigs in the past and everything said in this video was accurate for them. My piggie has a blanket she loves to cuddle in and just sleep on me, I know I'll jinx myself here but I've had her for 3 months now and got her as a baby and she has not peed on anyone. She'll either let us know by getting a little fidgety trying to get off of us, or I guess she holds it. I try to only hold her for an hour at max (although it has been longer when I lost track of time) because I don't want her to hold it in but she's so good! I won't lie, tried the whole getting her a sweater thing because she's hairless and she wanted nothing to do with it so she just gets blankets ❤❤. The video is right about cleanliness because she will not pee (very rarely do I find poop] on her blanket or in her hideaway.
🤩I was interested to watch your video. I make mazes for my little hamster. Such videos are also very interesting.🥰🐹💜
Hamsters and guinea pigs are nowhere close tf
My piggies literally love my dog, my dog runs to greet them every morning and they run up to him and lick him
Aww! 😍🤗😘🤩💘💗🐕🐈🐹🐀🐁🐰
My cat visit everyday my guinea pigs in their cage, she lie down with them and they are cool with her :D
