    I've taken my Teddy to the vet before and they never mentioned the crusty ears. She has dry skin, so I spray and rub in a little aqua spray, but her ears always look really gross inside. I'm going to try to gently clean out her ears tonight. Thank you so much for sharing this!

    He's absolutely adorable! The more videos I see about boy piggies the less I want one. Poor little dude. One of my girls has an attitude like Heisenberg. When I do nail trims and check ups she can be a bit nippy, nothing bad but when I'm done she always gives kisses. Its like they're saying "I don't like that human!" And then, "sorry I nipped you, I love the human" drama pigs for sure

    thanks for your really good an interesting videos. I can take so much good information from it. Do female guinea pigs have these boar bags too? Please continue exactly like that. I have 8 guinea pigs.2 male and 6 female. 5 from them came from a rescue too.The other 3 are children of one of my females, and now 6 months old. It is a very relaxed group.

    Teddies can definitely come from two non-teddy parents! Of course they're not pedigreed show pigs, but my American foster pig gave birth to two Americans and a teddy on Thursday. Her mate was also American. From what I understand, the teddy gene is a recessive mutation, so it can be carried. If I knew the history of these pigs, I would bet there is a teddy somewhere in the background.

    I always have styptic powder on hand especially with my one girl who has black nails. Sometimes I’m afraid to take too much off so I usually just take a bit off the ends. My other two piggies have white nails so I cut off just in front of the quick, that way they’re shorter and they’re more comfortable but it doesn’t bleed.

    Is there a reason you did not take him to a little tub with running water and spray down his lower region? I am not talking about the ears, but his hind end. Instead of qtips and fingers, maybe a warm very gentile spray to clean down there. This pigs case, the qtips might have been good for removing big chucks of poop, but I would think a nice washing down there (especially if it stinks).
    Also, can you, or anyone, recommend a good piggie shampoo? We do not wash our piggies to much, but we have pig that has really long hair and it gets dirty and smelly from the cage. And as much as we keep his cage clean he still gets dirty.
