As someone whose wife went and bought guinea pigs with little to no research, thank for this. We have been struggling along for a few months now and finding your channel has been a god send.
I haven't had piggies since I was a child,now I'm going on 70! So much has changed! I used to use newspapers and shavings and fed just pellets.I've had my new pigs for about three weeks, have fleece,hideouts and tunnels on order,plus getting an assortment of fresh veggies for us to share! Thankyou for all your great information,and thanks from Pooh and Piglet too!
I recently converted to fleece (from pine shavings), and although the spot cleaning is more work (I sometimes use the vacuum cleaner instead of a brush and dustpan), it is worth it to me because of no more bits of wood shavings all over the house. (Used to drive me crazy) I found that I needed a fairly large cage for the fleece to work, because in a small cage the fleece just got saturated too fast with no chance to dry out in between peeings. When I doubled my cage size, it worked much better. Now I only wash every five days or so. At first I couldn't get the urine smell out of the fleece, but I found if I pre-soak for 20 minutes or so (and use vinegar as well as detergent), the smell will wash out completely. My washing machine isn't as nice as hers, so maybe that's why! Just thought I'd share my experience in case someone finds it useful.
Good to hear it's coming along for you. What cage size did you have vs what cage size did you change to? I have a standard large cage but I'm honestly not sure how "large" we're talking here
Your so right about the cage size! My cage isn't that big and we are upgrading! But I also found that in just 2 days, everything needed a wash all the fleece and pee pads. Hopefully like you said with a bigger cage it should be alright.
@@Chloe_-uk6vt Just FYI, I had to switch back to bedding because after a while I could NOT get the odor out of my washing machine. :( It's been six months and my clothes still smell funny/weird/bad. I have tried different machine cleaning products and nothing seems to help! It's not a very good washing machine, so maybe that is why. If I had room, I would get a second one.
They are all so cute!!! The silicone dust pan and brush are so much easier to sweep hay and poop off fleeces. Its interesting to see how people look after their Piggies differently.
I was just coming onto the comments to say about the silicone brush, my son and I only have the guinea pigs a few weeks, but straight away I knew I wanted to use the silicone brush, when the hay goes all over my sons carpet, the brush is so easy to use to sweep it all up quickly.
your cage is basically my dream cage XD I've been working on making a bunch of pee pads and beds/cozies, and I'm hoping to someday get a litter box if we can find a way to store larger quantities of hay (since that would be cheaper)
Aww piggies Look so cute most people think that guinea pigs are too much work to take care of but I don't think there as much work as people think as long as you have the correct cage size and the correct food they shouldn't be a problem to care for and thank you so much for showing me this
Thanks for all this info! I relisten to your videos while i am at work so i know everything I need to know before I get my piggies at the end of this year. I will be rescuing from the Los Angelos Guinea Pig rescue. I am so excited to bring home piggies! But I want to be 100% prepared before i being them home so thats why I am preparing for them 5 months in advance!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi. I know I’m a little late to the party but what do I do if I’m getting New Guinea pigs which will live outside. How do I bond with them? I have one guinea pig who lost her sister on Easter Sunday and is 5. She likes all of the attention. How do I introduce them? Thanks 😄
Really useful video to understand the routine of flleeces cleaning !! ;) Thanks Sarah ! For the hay tray, do you change it every day or every 2 days and you add a little bite of fresh hay at the top ?
YAY another amazing video oh btw do you have any tips for New Guinea pigs I’m getting two Guinea pigs on the 1st of September( and I absolutely love!!!! Ur guinea pigs)
Thank you! I think most important thing to brush up on are the cages, diet and then taming for new piggies, I also have a playlist for new owners where I've put my most relevant videos going back 😃
I would like to try making a litter tray like yours but I'm not sure I have the skills to cut the plastic. I'm sure my two current boys make more pee and poop than when I had 5 piggies 😆
Some people like to use rubber- brushes to clean their fleeceliners, because its easier to get rid of hair and hay :) horseblanket-washingbags are good for putting fleeceitems in the washingmachine without having hair anywhere 👍🏿 And yes, willow looks extremely adorable in the hay 😁
TIP YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!! If guineapig hair or hat is stuck to the fleece and it is to hard to brush off, I recommend you buy a metal horse brush to scrape the hay off!
Hi! New piggy owner here! We inherited 2 and I thought their cage seemed too small and from what I’m learning I’m right! Your videos have been really helpful for me to start to figure out how to care for them best. I want to do a set up like this with the fleece pads.. what do you use as the absorbent layer within the fleece? Thanks!
Love this cleaning technique. Trying it out now with my two girls after having woodshavings for years and loving how much more efficient it is! Thanks so much for the tips, Sarah!
Tip to make life easier; use pillowcases that have a zipper instead of ones you have to tie. I learnt the hard way but if you tie it, the knot is tight once it comes out of the washer and it’s a bit of a wrestle to get it open
Wait if I have two Guinea pigs do I just let them share a bowl and instead of 1/8 a cup of pellets double it? Or how much do u put in yours? Should I get two bowls?
How or where can I buy a liner for under the fleece blankets? My Guinea pigs have ringworm and it’s first for me and I have it too. It’s a mess and they are separated until they are both cured but trying to find ways to make it work when they are better with fleece and liners.
Great and realistic video! I'm sharing this to my guinea pig rescue page, people don't understand what I mean when I try to explain that guinea pigs need a lot of cleaning. This should help!
I hope this one reaches you. We are struggling a bit with the fleece liners. Could you do a “fleece liner for dummies”? We have Guinea pigs for over 30 years and if our piggies haven’t stop eating pellets we wouldn’t have seen all these informativ videos. You could say: we’ve been in the hands of the pet store disinformation Mafia to put up their salesnumber
Hello ! Thank you for this vidéo (and all others :) ) . I have a question : I also find these white stains on my piggies fleece ? I was thinking about penis urelithiase since I have 1 male, so I had a look at it and it was perfectly clean. What are these white traces ?
I have some mesh wash bags meant to keep dog hair and things in the bag and out of the machine. Does anyone else have any issues where the bedding doesn’t get completely clean and hay is still stuck all over it? I also have an issue with drying. I had to run it through the full bedding setting on the dryer 3TIMES and they still weren’t completely dry!! Can anyone help me?? I’m desperate!!
Hi, are you planning to make a video about how to make your fleece items I would love to see that, I'm planning on making my guinea pig fleece and what electric sewing machine do you use by the way love your videos.💕 and about the absorbent layer what are the alternatives you can use hihi \ps: I really love your cage planning on building a new cage and your cage is my inspiration☺
wow. You said that you wanted to get them a new litter tray! lol still hasn't happened yet XD also, how big is your litter tray? I'm trying to find a smaller one around the size of yours to buy :p
Thank you soo much for the newspaper at the bottom of the potty bin tip. I forgot all about that. I use a little paper bedding and I have the kind with a grate that the mess falls through (piggy toe safe sized, of course). I find it sticks to the bottom, but the newspaper would solve that issue 😅
I'm a new piggy owner and I have a question about the litter tray I'm confused why would you put the head that they desperately need for food everyday inside where they're going to go use the bathroom or do I have that wrong please let me know thank you
Hi was just wondering how people handle the guinea pigs with the fleece, I cam home from work the other day to find they had chewed their way into the fleece bedding and I had to cut them out, I also find they like to go underneath the bedding alot which means alot of the pees happen underneath
Do you empty the hay out completely? I have a hard time because there can be pee and poop all throughout the hay.. but it's a lot of hay if I throw it all away every day. I have a litterbox of hay filled with carefresh bedding at the bottom for my hay bin
I do but if you want to try save hay the carefresh is an alternative. I find I always have to empty it and clean fully everyday though otherwise it starts to smell and is very wet!
Yes I have an old video on making cage liners and a newer one making the waterproof pads, its the same method essentially and the newer video is probably better! 😄
Ur cage is so nice and ik the piggies love up but how deos their water bottle not drip I have a little piggy and the water keeps dripping real bad i have to put a bowl under it so could u help me out?
Hii @Squeak Dreams!! Thank you for making great videos. Could you please do one about common guinea pig health issues, how they are caused, and how to prevent? Even including some experiences youve had with yours. That would be awesome!! Have a lovely day 🌼💜
Hi Sarah, Thanks for that great cage clean out video. I swapped from wood shavings to fleece last September and I and the piggies prefer it! I use a clothes brush ( the piggies have their
Hey there! Hmm not sure why the site is having trouble with mobiles, I actually sell the items on Etsy though and the shop is empty at the moment sorry - whilst I work on custom orders, but I hope to be making more general sale beds etc. in a month or so! 😀
Hey love the vida what waterproof layer do u use on the bottom? Also I recently purchased some guinea dad fleeces buy they don't seem to be waterproof. Any ideas or tips would be awesome thank you
Hey! Love your vids, keep updating us. So I have 2 guinea pigs and I was wondering if you should change out guinea pig water bottles everyday? I really need an answer! ❤Love the piggies❤
Every day not necessary. If outside the water can go green in the sunlight, so water bottle covers are a good idea. Also, find some small brushes that can get right to the bottom of the bottle to clean the inside of the bottle. Give the bottle vigorous shake and rinse - but NO detergent!! Don't forget the inside of the cap as well.
Thank you for this video! I've just moved to fleece with my 2 boys and it does feel like a big change to keep on top of it right now! Where do you buy your pee pads from? I think that might help me! Thank you 😊
she makes her own pee pads! she has tutorial videos on this channel, but I bet you can also find them on her etsy store :) (correct me if I'm wrong lol)
I know I'm not Sarah 😅but The minimum for 2 Guinea pigs is a 2x3 ( basically all grid is slightly bigger than a foot) c&c but I don't recommend so a 2x4 or above is best I have my two piggies in a 4x3 double the minimum and yes I definitely recommend fleece
I have a question, I've never had guinea pigs or any rodents: is there such a thing as too big of a cage? I'm considering two guinea pigs as pets. Would a 170cm or 180cm wide cage (one floor) be good for two or is that too small or too big? Also, do they manage on their own during the day? I'm starting to study in August and I'll be away from home for 6 or so hours a day.
Hello! I have seen your video to make fleece pads which I plan to do. What is your main floor fleece liner made from? Do I buy that online or can I make it? Thank you in advance! X
How big is your piggies cage? mine is 8 grids that are 12 inches each but for Christmas I am getting one that is 12 grids but 14 inches each for 2 piggies!
Did you o your own fleece liner? the big one in the whole cage? Do you have to sow the fleece and absorbent layer together or can you just lay out ceveral absorbent pads underneath? What can be good absorbent layer materials? Guinea pig owner to be! Much love from sweden
Will washing the liners in the washing machine make it smell bad or is that not a problem. I currently am using wood shavings and would like to change it to fleece.
Do piggies need to be trained to go pee in the litter box? And does them going potty in the box with the hat not make them sick? How do you keep them from going all over the fleece? I haven’t gotten mine yet and want to be fully prepared when I do! ☺️
We just recently switched our two boys to fleece and litter pans from carefresh. I can safely say I never want to go back. My boy Milo is a large silky pig and very boarish. His fur used to easily get matted and have all sorts of things in it. It'd involve a partial bath and cut every 3 weeks to a month (he hates being combed and will actually try to bite). Since his fur has stayed so clean he only needs a trim when it goes to the floor. Our other boy Zeak is your standard short fur pig. He's small though and very active and the fleece leaves a nicer surface for him to run on. We clean our cage fully weekly and spot clean nightly as to keep things as clean as possible.
Hi sqeak dreams it's Rebecca Napier really enjoying your vidoes and you made it just in time for me because it my guina pig fleece blanket wash day thanks sokol much love Rebecca Napier
im so glad for this video, especially the part about day after big cleaning. youve discouraged me to adopt them but thats good for both sides, great thanks 🖤
Hey me and my partner love your videos, we have been watching a lot since we have got new guinea pigs as of a few weeks ago. My partner loves his horror and action movies, I was wondering if guinea pigs might be distressed from hearing horror/suspense/action movies? As their cages are in the living room. They never really seem bothered by the tv noises and carry on as normal. But I was wondering if you might have any thoughts on this? Thanks, Lana x
As someone whose wife went and bought guinea pigs with little to no research, thank for this. We have been struggling along for a few months now and finding your channel has been a god send.

Washing their stuff in pillow cases - brilliant! We have a short hair and long hair piggy - so much hair and hay in the washer! Thanks!

The 1 person that disliked are just jealous they don’t have any cute piggies 🤣 😉
I love all your piggies they are just so cute I would like an Abyssinian piggie they look really sweet with their wild hair 🥰x
Yay thank you! Abyssinians are gorgeous and great because they aren't as high maintenance as the long haired breeds 😃
Aww piggies Look so cute most people think that guinea pigs are too much work to take care of but I don't think there as much work as people think as long as you have the correct cage size and the correct food they shouldn't be a problem to care for and thank you so much for showing me this

Awe it’s like a piggie boat ride into the cage. It’s always one pig that poops when you put them back into the cage 😂💞Great video!!
Haha so true! Thank you 😃

Ah thank you! I tie them with bobbles and they are usually okay but I'll bear this in mind 😄
Great Idea!! Putting zippered pillow cases in my Amazon Cart Now!! 😁😁
Wouldn't it be better to feed from the feeder with hay? It wouldn't be scattered all over the cage.
I’ve currently go some New Guinea pigs roxy and rose and we do a full clean out 2 days but every day we do a spot clean
Wait if I have two Guinea pigs do I just let them share a bowl and instead of 1/8 a cup of pellets double it? Or how much do u put in yours? Should I get two bowls?
the comments of your piggies are soo funny 🌸😊🌸
Do you think bed wetting liners for toddlers would be useful.I don't have newspapers or magazines?
How or where can I buy a liner for under the fleece blankets? My Guinea pigs have ringworm and it’s first for me and I have it too. It’s a mess and they are separated until they are both cured but trying to find ways to make it work when they are better with fleece and liners.
Great and realistic video! I'm sharing this to my guinea pig rescue page, people don't understand what I mean when I try to explain that guinea pigs need a lot of cleaning. This should help!
PLEASE tell me where you buy fleece! I'm getting piggies soon and cannot, for the life of me, find it anywhere!
As a previous guinea pig owner I always kept.mine in pine shavings, I wondered how you would clean fleece mats, I thought they would stink like urine
I hope this one reaches you. We are struggling a bit with the fleece liners. Could you do a “fleece liner for dummies”?

Got two male piggies from the same litter for my classroom. Any advice for using these two sweet piggies in a classroom environment?
Hello ! Thank you for this vidéo (and all others :) ) . I have a question : I also find these white stains on my piggies fleece ? I was thinking about penis urelithiase since I have 1 male, so I had a look at it and it was perfectly clean.
What are these white traces ?
Idk if someone has asked… but how big is your enclosure?
Guinea pigs are a lot of work. More than my dog or my hamster. I was thinking of getting them, but I'm allergic to hay also😢
I have some mesh wash bags meant to keep dog hair and things in the bag and out of the machine. Does anyone else have any issues where the bedding doesn’t get completely clean and hay is still stuck all over it? I also have an issue with drying. I had to run it through the full bedding setting on the dryer 3TIMES and they still weren’t completely dry!! Can anyone help me?? I’m desperate!!
Where did you get your hammock from? was it pre assembled?
What size cage is your cage please and what are the sizes of your individual pads please as there is many its confusing.
I also have noticed in your cage you have a wicker basket bed where is that from please.
Hi, are you planning to make a video about how to make your fleece items I would love to see that, I'm planning on making my guinea pig fleece and what electric sewing machine do you use by the way love your videos.💕
and about the absorbent layer what are the alternatives you can use hihi
\ps: I really love your cage planning on building a new cage and your cage is my inspiration☺
Will magazines work the same as newspapers under they hay?
wow. You said that you wanted to get them a new litter tray! lol still hasn't happened yet XD
also, how big is your litter tray? I'm trying to find a smaller one around the size of yours to buy :p
Can you use paper towel on the bottom of the Guinea pig
My daughter got 2 piggies a month ago (we are 1st time piggie owners) and your videos have taught us A LOT. Thank you ❤️
Howdy! How is it going with you guys now? Good hopefully! :D
Thank you soo much for the newspaper at the bottom of the potty bin tip. I forgot all about that.
I use a little paper bedding and I have the kind with a grate that the mess falls through (piggy toe safe sized, of course). I find it sticks to the bottom, but the newspaper would solve that issue 😅
Do you have any videos on the best tools for cleaning a guinea pig cage?
I'm a new piggy owner and I have a question about the litter tray I'm confused why would you put the head that they desperately need for food everyday inside where they're going to go use the bathroom or do I have that wrong please let me know thank you

Do you wash those hay in the litter tray and reuse them? If so, wanna know how you clean those hay. Thanks
Is there a video that shows how you made all your liners? Just found your channel. Love it!
Yes I have an old video on making cage liners and a newer one making the waterproof pads, its the same method essentially and the newer video is probably better! 😄
A very small plastic dog bed is ideal for litter tray and hay den x
I’m getting a new bunny tomorrow

You take such good care of your guineas

Oops own one and I use it before putting the fleeces in to wash or sometimes after they come out of the wash x😊👍🏻
What cage is this?? I love it!!
Loved watching this and learned so much! I think your herd are just the best especially when you add their "thoughts" into the videos.

Plzzzz help
Hey there! Hmm not sure why the site is having trouble with mobiles, I actually sell the items on Etsy though and the shop is empty at the moment sorry - whilst I work on custom orders, but I hope to be making more general sale beds etc. in a month or so! 😀
I tried to tap on the cozy items and jt worked but when I tap on the different items its not working
@@SqueakDreams thank you 😊
Ps. I loveeeeeeeee your videos
You help me care for my piggies much better🔆
Love you
Where do you buy the fleece and pads
Hey love the vida what waterproof layer do u use on the bottom? Also I recently purchased some guinea dad fleeces buy they don't seem to be waterproof. Any ideas or tips would be awesome thank you
Try adding puppy pads underneath the fleece!
I definitely get a good workout when it's liner change day! 🥵 Lol. I am so in love with Pedro! 🐹 Thanks for this Sarah, great tips as always!
How long is your cage?
Where did u get the liner from
Hey! Love your vids, keep updating us. So I have 2 guinea pigs and I was wondering if you should change out guinea pig water bottles everyday?

Cant potty train to pee and poop in one spot?

Thank you for this video!
I've just moved to fleece with my 2 boys and it does feel like a big change to keep on top of it right now! Where do you buy your pee pads from? I think that might help me! Thank you 😊
she makes her own pee pads! she has tutorial videos on this channel, but I bet you can also find them on her etsy store :) (correct me if I'm wrong lol)
What hay do u use
Thanks so much for letting us have an insight into your cleaning routine! How do you make the soft fleecy beds in your cage?
She has tutorials on her channel on how to make them and also she sells templates for them on her etsy. She has a link to her etsy in the description
is Pedro fixed?
Cage
I have only had my Guinea pigs for 3 days and they are really scared of me, they won’t eat or drink and I’m not sure what to do…
Give them time to get use to their surroundings they will start to eat and drink
Where do you get your fleece lined blankets from please
Hi there - I make my own, I do have a tutorial video if you wanted to give it a go! 😊
hi sarah im thinkingabout v=gettibg 2 guinea pigs so how big dose there cage have to be and is fleece beding better than dust exstracted
I know I'm not Sarah 😅but The minimum for 2 Guinea pigs is a 2x3 ( basically all grid is slightly bigger than a foot) c&c but I don't recommend so a 2x4 or above is best I have my two piggies in a 4x3 double the minimum and yes I definitely recommend fleece
Them exploring the clean cage was so cute!
Yay I love these videos. Your pigs are all so cute 🥰
I love your channel xx 🐹🐹❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤😍
Love u’r channel
I love your cage, I also love when you make these videos! Thank you for making this video!💞☺️
Thank you for watching! 😃🌻
I have a question, I've never had guinea pigs or any rodents: is there such a thing as too big of a cage? I'm considering two guinea pigs as pets. Would a 170cm or 180cm wide cage (one floor) be good for two or is that too small or too big? Also, do they manage on their own during the day? I'm starting to study in August and I'll be away from home for 6 or so hours a day.
What is the depth of the cage? Ideally over 60 cm, and then yes a 170 cm or 180 cm wide cage is a good size for two piggies, they will love it!
@@SqueakDreams I haven't gotten a cage yet, but I've looked at some online. I'll write down that it needs to be over 60cm in depth. Thanks!
We use vinegar and water in a spray bottle for a lot of the cleaning and disposable food service gloves to pick up in the cage.
Hello! I have seen your video to make fleece pads which I plan to do. What is your main floor fleece liner made from? Do I buy that online or can I make it? Thank you in advance! X
Glad I found this. Daughter wanted Guinea pigs. This daily cleaning looks like a pain. Nope. Lol.
This is so useful! I love your channel and your cute piggies 💖
Thank you so much 😀
How big is your piggies cage? mine is 8 grids that are 12 inches each but for Christmas I am getting one that is 12 grids but 14 inches each for 2 piggies!
Did you o your own fleece liner? the big one in the whole cage? Do you have to sow the fleece and absorbent layer together or can you just lay out ceveral absorbent pads underneath? What can be good absorbent layer materials? Guinea pig owner to be! Much love from sweden
Hi Sarah...how big is your litter tray? I have 4 girls in one enclosure and think they need a bigger one..thank you
Will washing the liners in the washing machine make it smell bad or is that not a problem. I currently am using wood shavings and would like to change it to fleece.
Do piggies need to be trained to go pee in the litter box? And does them going potty in the box with the hat not make them sick? How do you keep them from going all over the fleece? I haven’t gotten mine yet and want to be fully prepared when I do! ☺️
with 4 piggies around the cage still looks decent. not that messy after every night at all.
We just recently switched our two boys to fleece and litter pans from carefresh. I can safely say I never want to go back. My boy Milo is a large silky pig and very boarish. His fur used to easily get matted and have all sorts of things in it. It'd involve a partial bath and cut every 3 weeks to a month (he hates being combed and will actually try to bite). Since his fur has stayed so clean he only needs a trim when it goes to the floor. Our other boy Zeak is your standard short fur pig. He's small though and very active and the fleece leaves a nicer surface for him to run on. We clean our cage fully weekly and spot clean nightly as to keep things as clean as possible.

Hey me and my partner love your videos, we have been watching a lot since we have got new guinea pigs as of a few weeks ago. My partner loves his horror and action movies, I was wondering if guinea pigs might be distressed from hearing horror/suspense/action movies? As their cages are in the living room. They never really seem bothered by the tv noises and carry on as normal. But I was wondering if you might have any thoughts on this? Thanks, Lana x
