We get a few comments on our fight videos accusing us of glorifying fighting or trying to exploit it for views. I wanted to clarify that we feel bad when they fight and a bit sad that fights are our most popular content. I would gladly trade in all the fighting views if it meant the pigs got along all the time. But that is not how our pigs work. So in the interest of accurately documenting their little lives we're going to show how they really behave and not sugarcoat things. We did months of research before getting our pigs and it still did not prepare us for this aspect of owning them. I hope by showing this other people thinking about getting guinea pigs will be better informed. If nothing else, the crazy things our pigs do are a great advertisement for big cages.
I think it’s silly that people don’t know how guinea pigs work. Fighting is normal. Obviously it should be reduced but when you have so many guinea pigs living in the same space they will fight at least once a week- be it over housing or food or dominance. It’s the same as human beings... why would it be different when it comes to the pigs. I think you look after them well and I feel sorry for you that people who probably don’t even own pigs go around saying you’re trying to capitalise off of them. Guinea pigs aren’t all sunshine and rainbows... every guinea pig has fought at least five times in their lifetime
@@thecoreofanapple8969 Thanks for the support! ❤️❤️❤️ I am always very curious how other pigs behave and whether ours are exceptionally feisty. I'm sure a lot of our negative comments come from people who don't even have guinea pigs so I try not to take them too seriously. But I did want to make sure our loyal fans know how we feel!
I appreciate it because I was also totally not prepared either. It's helped me to know I'm not alone or a bad guinea pig owner. Mine don't really fight, but sometimes get on each others nerves. Watching your videos shows me things I need to be aware of and watch out for if it ever happens. Ignore the haters drama queen shit starters as you seem to be taking good care of your pigs as best you can. I know you're not being cruel and your intentions are good and meant to help other guinea pigs owners. I was so not prepared for mine, but I'm doing the best I can. I just have the two of them, two boars and one is protective of his brother. I'm sure some assholes would probably judge me harshly. I don't care because I know I love my babies and am learning watching many videos on pigs. Tours are nice short, cute , funny educative on fighting signs and sounds to look out for. I appreciate what you do.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT Glad to hear we have helped! We can all learn to take better care of the pigs together! We've gotten a lot of info from the LA Guinea Pig Rescue channel. I recommend checking it out if you haven't already.
Wow that was a fantastic, clear-cut example of guinea pig hierarchy in action! Agitated Zucchin causing a ruckus and Spaghett overseeing things from the corner and eventually intervening and calming Zucchin down. Very cool to see
I LOVE how polite, well-mannered and clever Spaghett is. Their social infrastructure and cultural norms are amazing, they're such socially intelligent little people, big love ♥
You have some of the craziest pigs, which makes things interesting. I liked how Spaghett got in there and stopped all the ruckus and showed them who's the boss!
I guess that they are confused by the disappearance of their habitat, including all the hiding places and all the food! They are worried. Stressed out.
Guineas: Oooh! Pumpkin: Itch itch! Butternut: (minding her own business) Zucchin: Get over here! Butternut: No! Zucchin: Come here! Spaghett: Zucchin enough! Zucchin: You want a piece of me? Spaghett: I will take my leave now thank you very much! Other guineas: Ooo drama...
I have three boys and one of my boys pops around when I'm cleaning the cage because he knows after fresh hay is coming. He loves when I put hay in everyday.
I Love your pigs and how they play , sometimes fight or rumble strut on film. My pigs Love to play and chase each other around the cage, but they WON'T do it no more if I try to film them. I can even sneak a peek at them playing without them stopping. I swear they do some funny awesome things, but it figures mine would be the kind that won't let me film them in the act. All I got is those few videos you saw and said spying on the pigs. LOL. An yeah I had to to even get what I did on film. Now I can't even spy on them without a camera. They catch me no matter how careful or sneaky I try to be. I swear they are one step ahead of me. An they Love to flip their houses over, I just wish I could get this on film but don't know how.
Yeah, Butternut is definitely at the bottom of the pecking order. Its a tough job but some pig has to do it. She doesn't seem to let it get her down tough!
It is funny to watch him escalate his interventions. If he's sitting in a house he'll start by lifting up the house with his head like he's saying "Hey, no fighting!" Then when that doesn't work he'll get up and rumblestrut for them.
Haha, yeah, we thought of the channel name because that's what we say when they are doing something silly that cannot otherwise be explained. The cage is 3 MidWest guinea pig cages joined together. We made this video on how we merged them: ruclips.net/video/yJ4Ii3uQKEc/видео.html
Naaaa, for a small herd I think they get along pretty good. We have two and they steal each other’s food and poke noses at each other over the food dish. But they don’t really fight so we let them work it out on their own
I can relate to this because about a month and a half ago I was cleaning my two male Guinea pigs cage out and they started chattering. then they stopped, and then all of a sudden they charged at eachother! Of course I tried to stop them from attacking eachother and I got bit (i rather get bit then my Guinea pigs getting hurt). Then a couple minutes later they charged at eachother again and then one of them was bleeding in his mouth and he was whining, of course I was crying and scared. They both are fine right now. But they were being dramatic about a week ago when I took their cave out. then while I was at school they decided to attack eachother. One of them(oreo)had their ear bit in the middle and the other(snickers)had their ear slit down. i was crying and I felt so bad because they both were hurt(they didnt show that they were hurt, I knew they they were hurt when I felt something on my and of course it was blood, then I looked at both of their ears and then I saw the blood and their ears that were bit). They dont fight anymore. I think it happened just because they didn't have the cave in their cage. Also they are brothers and the are about 4 or 5 months now.
We have female pigs (plus a neutered male) and they seem prone to squabbles that look violent but they never actually injure each other. I am generally against telling people what to do on the internet, but personally I think we would separate the offending pig if blood was drawn like that. I've never had multiple male pigs myself but from what I've heard their fights tend to be more serious and young male pigs can become incompatible as they grow up. So I think there is a strong possibility they will fight again and need to be separated. I know of other people who split them up into separate side-by-side cages so they can still keep each other company without being able to fight.
Also I realized you can't actually have a conversation in community post comments, so carrying over the drawing discussion here! I thought of another quick option of posting a video of the drawing. But I think we'll be setting up an email soon too.
@@lovewheeks1208 It's ready! If you go to the "about" tab of our channel page there should be a button to get the email now. (Sorry for the extra hoop to jump through, there's an extra check there so bots can't see it.)

Yeah, we're really glad we have Spaghett to keep everyone calm!

People?
@@sugarhieroglyph _Yes._
Zucchin: "Okay, who ate all of our houses? Was it you, Buttercup?" Haha 😂
You have some of the craziest pigs, which makes things interesting. I liked how Spaghett got in there and stopped all the ruckus and showed them who's the boss!
Yeah we are lucky to have him to keep Zucchin in check!
He’s a good boy!
I just love all your piggies. I'm a guinea pig lover also. Oh I hear some chattering.
Thanks!
Few moments later!!!
Poooh everywhere
haha

HAHA so cute. That feisty one makes for good guinea pig TV :)
They're so cute
Awww i love butternut

She's a right one, there all waiting for there huts 😊
I guess that they are confused by the disappearance of their habitat, including all the hiding places and all the food! They are worried. Stressed out.
Mr. Spaghetti for President!!
Guineas: Oooh!
Pumpkin: Itch itch!
Butternut: (minding her own business)
Zucchin: Get over here!
Butternut: No!
Zucchin: Come here!
Spaghett: Zucchin enough!
Zucchin: You want a piece of me?
Spaghett: I will take my leave now thank you very much!
Other guineas: Ooo drama...
Pigs started cute exploration
When I clean my guenia pigs cage he always starts jumping 🖤
Cute!
Same, one of my Guinea pigs do that. But While my one Guinea pig is popcorning my other Guinea pig stares at him😂

We've gotten lucky, ours have never really minded the camera. If anything they tend to run toward it to check if it's food!
The red one is the king.
I only have two large cage mine have scuffle every now and again keep the good the work
Good to know, thanks!
It’s so cute
They always look like they are having a meeting. Then egos prevail over common sense.
Butternut
Awwww the light brown and predominately white one (butternut is it?) always seems to be on the receiving end of these things, he seems so timid 😭
Yeah, Butternut is definitely at the bottom of the pecking order. Its a tough job but some pig has to do it. She doesn't seem to let it get her down tough!
It's Pigs! Are they all female?
@@123marcusmooney Spaghett is a neutered male and the rest are females.
1:18 that male in the corner is like: ah, here we go again, my women start to argue again.. let's settle down and watch the drama :D
