    This video was so helpful thank you so much
    I was a bit worried I was feeding to much pellets for my indoor guinea pigs but I'm feeding exactly right amount
    I think after lots of research I felt ok about what I was feeding but still wanted some reassurance and this video was perfect thx Erin xx

    i think you need more subscribers because your channel is so informational and useful yet entertaining at the same time (not many youtubers channels have those great qualities like yours)

      I had a guinea pig named Velvet and she looked almost identical to Erin's guinea pig, Miffy. I would have to trim her fur because it would grow so long and get matted.

      Pets Palace TV my guinea pigs keep fighting no matter what I do
      I've tried separation and that didn't work
      They are both boars and brothers so I don't know what to do,
      I honestly hope you help
      Your a good guinea pig owner!!

    • @summziespetsxo9154
      @summziespetsxo9154 8 лет назад

      im not Pets Palace TV, but I might be able to help you. Fighting is quite common when you have two male guinea pigs, you could try dividing the cage or maybe getting another separate cage for each of them. Cleaning the cage out more often than usual could help, this de-marks the territory, getting rid of some scents of them. Give them distractions, put lots of toys and chews in their cage/hutch, it may occupy them long enough to avoid the fighting. You should also make sure they both get enough food, in many cases there can be dominance over food and parts of the hutch/cage. Make sure your guinea pigs have hide outs, so they can hide if they feel insecure or fear the other. This is always normal for male guinea pigs, I wouldn't worry much, they will overtime overcome territorial problems and start accepting that theyre living together, and sharing things. But things could could get more serious, so overtime if youre still worried or theyre still fighting, I would definitely ask for vet advice. Get a few leaflets from pet stores they could help you out. Fighting is usually over dominance and getting to know eachother, with jut the two. Make sure theyboth get as much attention as eachother, and feed them more than enough so they definitely both get to eat and nobody gets left out. However if your piggies ae having problems over dominance with food, my sister had the same with her rats. I would suggest separate them at food time so they both get equal amounts and supervise them to make sure they are both eating normally. What exactly are they fighting over? I hope this helps and your guineas soon get along. :)

I know that you became a vegan now but I was only wondering if you can teach people about this topic. Also I am considering on being a vegetarian but I starting of with one or two week challange and then I will see if I fit for the type of lifestyle :)

    • @ErinsArk
      @ErinsArk  8 лет назад

      Thank you! Yes, they may. So long as the have a constant supply, otherwise they need hay as well. Grass is much more nutritious than hay, because the drying process destroys lots of the goodness. Always introduce grass very slowly if they have never had it before, it can cause digestive problems if they are suddenly given a mountain of it :)

    Is it okay to use hay as bedding in areas, or do you have to get a certain type?

      Hay is fine, just not as just absorb as much urine.

    I was wondering I'm getting guinea pigs soon and should I add vitamin tablets to there water

    • @brennadowney927

      No don't. Those are seriously unhealthy and most guinea pigs don't like them because they flavor the water and as a result they may not drink as much as they should be. Just feed them lots of veggies rich in vitamin C such a bell peppers, kale, parsley, lettuce, etc and they will be super healthy! :)

      No it's not. One of my friends had a guinea pig that lived alone and he lived until he was 9. Plus he was super happy.

      Plus if you play with your Guinea pig daily it'll keep it at as happy as two Guinea pigs would be.

      +Erin Maher No it wouldnt! They need a friend that is another guinea pig because they have there own language and way off life that you could never provide. They will be become depressed and will stop eating and finally die
