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
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!!
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 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.
I have a hay mix that has grass,multiple types of hay,hemp and flax seeds. They always have a bowl of that mixes with Afew tiny vitamin c pellets. They also have a hay rack with long thinker hay for there teeth and get fed a large bowl of veggies each day.
omg your new clothes and make up look 10/10 on you ❤,love the video Erin and its just amazing how you really care so much of your guiena pigs ,everybody should care for their pets like you do ,take care of yourself and your pets also your family
Second 🙌 Love your channel ❤️ Keep up the great work Erin! I love how your videos are so interesting to watch, but also very helpful!👌 Also, sorry to bug you, but can bunnies have apples or celery? Thanks x
Aww, the guinea pigs are so cute! I can tell the newbie is already right at home :D Your videos are really helpful (even though I don't have guinea pigs XD, they still help me learn more about animals).
Amazing video as always Erin. I was wondering if on your other channel you could do some videos on starting to be a vegetarian (Pecitarian). 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 :)
Hello Erin, I've got 7 guinea pigs and I get through hay a lot more than often, my friend has horses and I can always buy hay off her. It cost £3:50. 😁 Shop brought one is expensive.
hi I love your videos and I'm getting guinea pigs soon so I watch you for that and also I just love your videos you can learn loads there so educational!!! love you!!!!!
a very well informed video,and good research.ive tried a german brand of grainfree pellets bunny....which mine seem to like,love to see lots of hay.Thanks for a great video Erin.x
I feed my ginue pigs green dell pepper without seeds , lettuce and cabbage and carrots wnd pallets and Timothy hay and little treats and festa that’s what they eat in a day ☺️ she had a 50 floor space chew proof cage and has paper bedding ❤️ and pleanty of water
+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
Great video but you probably should have mentioned that you must remove the seeds from the apple before feeding as the seeds contain cyanide which is highly toxic to small animals 😊 but loved the video 🙂
Love this video Erin! The editing are amazing and it includes so much great information! xx Have you moved your vlogs back over to your vlog-channel? :)
My guinea pig died this afternoon. So my other guinea pig is all alone. We really don't want to get another as we don't want to go down a vicious circle of buying more and more when the previous one dies. Are there any other ways that we could keep our guinea pig happy?
Please inform yourself about how pellets (not soaked in water) influence the liquid balance of their digestive system. The long term effects are really bad.
My dogs teeth are chattering, and her breath stinks. I have asked my mom to take her to take our dog to the vet, but it is a lot of money where we live and we already have troubles just getting food. We have had this dog for 12 years, and we are all very attached to her. I don't know what to do. I feel terrible even talking about this, but I'm getting worried.
sometimes their is groups that help you with money if its alot and you can always call vets and ask if you can do payments each week or month to pay it off
Teeth chattering and bad breath sounds like a dental problem. Your dog needs to see a vet as she could be in a lot of pain. If you are in the UK and on some form of benefits you could possibly go to the RSPCA or PDSA for discounted treatment. Either way, you need to speak to your mum. Getting advice via youtube is not a reliable way of gaining information - we're not vets! Your dog could be in serious pain so get her seen as soon as you can! And, without trying to be rude, don't get anymore animals in the future unless you are able to pay the vet bills. Good luck!
Hi Erin! I would like to know if you can feed rabbit pellets to guinea pigs if you're feeding a complete veggie diet everyday with a lot of Vitamin C? Thank you xx
Pets Palace TV Not really :( But it is really cheap and it is just much more economic for me, and I'm aware that I have to complement them with veggies because of that ☺
I thought eating their own poop helped with digestion. I read that to digest the hay, they have two kinds of poop, the kind we see and another kind that they eat.
Yes I believe they have to eat their poops to ensure they receive all the nutrients, as I think when they eat the hay the first time, they don't get all the nutrients they need from it. I'd have to look more in depth though.
***** Thank you for the response! I do not know as much about guinea pigs, though we have had ours for a long time. We tried making the guinea pig cookies in your other video, and they became moldy after a week :( I think we didn't dehydrate them enough :( Our piggies liked them though! (not the moldy ones ;) )
Hi can I tell if my piggies just chubby or pregnant And what do I do when one of my ladie pigs sows is bullying my pregnant sow Like it’s vicious and it’s also uncalled for , It’s random attacks , it’s not like dominance behaviour where there would be a warning It’s just all of a sudden vicious biting out of nowhere I have to keep them seperate which removes a lot of cage space
I fill up my guinea pigs bowls full with the pellets but I always let it run right down before topping it up plus I keep a lot of hay for my piggies and put veggies whenever I can. I havent had any problems with weight or stones so far, but I was considering your idea of herb plants and was wondering what you recommend?
I do love your videos but to be honest I much prefer your kind of vlog videos much more than when you do like scripted kinda videos like this. You seem to be yourself a lot more in the vlogs and I just seem to find them more interesting. Also how is monty and bonnie doing? Xx
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 LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SM
Can you do another one of these videos about bunnies? I'm getting 2 next week!😄
This is such a great video I learned so much, I hope I get a Guinea pig for Christmas!!
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.
Brenna D how do u know it was happy can your Guinea pig talk
Cuz gosh if it does u should have told some scientists
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
I am not even paying attention to what u are saying becuz I was staring at ur eyes so I had to watch this twice but I dont mind :-)
could you make a video on what foods you feed them daily at what times
btw i love your channel!💕
please make some videos on your rabbits!! i haven't seen them in agess!!!!!!
love the video gives me great ideas for my guinea pigs👍
great video and i think your channel is super awesome
My piggie is a bit more picky now that he is older, but he never says no to parsley!
YAY ANOTHER ONE🦄🐹
i love your videos so much and all your pets are cute
Great video but you probably should have mentioned that you must remove the seeds from the apple before feeding as the seeds contain cyanide which is highly toxic to small animals 😊 but loved the video 🙂
Love this video Erin! The editing are amazing and it includes so much great information! xx
Have you moved your vlogs back over to your vlog-channel? :)
Aw thank you! :) Yes, my second channel is now everything 'informal' so like vlogs etc xx
I love this begining
My guinea pig died this afternoon. So my other guinea pig is all alone. We really don't want to get another as we don't want to go down a vicious circle of buying more and more when the previous one dies. Are there any other ways that we could keep our guinea pig happy?

Great video :)
there is a person i know that only has one guinea pig and does not give hay but the guinea pig is very healthy
Please inform yourself about how pellets (not soaked in water) influence the liquid balance of their digestive system. The long term effects are really bad.

I feel terrible even talking about this, but I'm getting worried.
Dani_lolik I feel sorry for you.... but do not be selfish. Do what's best for the dog. Even if that means rehoming her....
sometimes their is groups that help you with money if its alot and you can always call vets and ask if you can do payments each week or month to pay it off
Dani_lolik try searching it I hope u the best of luck!
Teeth chattering and bad breath sounds like a dental problem. Your dog needs to see a vet as she could be in a lot of pain.

Perhaps a family member or friend could help pay for the treatment, and you could pay them back in instalments.
Do a Q&A

Hi Erin! I would like to know if you can feed rabbit pellets to guinea pigs if you're feeding a complete veggie diet everyday with a lot of Vitamin C? Thank you xx
Hiya! Do you have a link to the brand of pellets? x
Pets Palace TV Not really :( But it is really cheap and it is just much more economic for me, and I'm aware that I have to complement them with veggies because of that ☺
Ok, could you please look on the packet for an ingredient list? Or send a picture of the nutritional info :)
Pets Palace TV The only problem is that it is in Portuguese, but I can send you on instagram anyway :) xx
Do you have any tips for before you get a guinea pig?
I just adopted a pair of guinea pigs and one is overweight. How should I get her to gradually lose weight without restricting the diet of the other?
Thanks for this video
Guinea pigs do have parastalsis. They digest like we do and need fiber for the same reasons we do.
I thought eating their own poop helped with digestion. I read that to digest the hay, they have two kinds of poop, the kind we see and another kind that they eat.
Yes I believe they have to eat their poops to ensure they receive all the nutrients, as I think when they eat the hay the first time, they don't get all the nutrients they need from it. I'd have to look more in depth though.

I love your channel❤️ but I don't agree with you on the pellets 🙊
Thank you, what is your opinion on the subject? x

Should I feed one tablespoon PER pig? Or one table spoon for two pigs ?
Loved this! :)
Glad you did! :)
Love your videos
I have a question and I can't seem to find an answer, is it ok to feed your guinea pigs fresh alfalfa every now and then?
Can you do a video on hairstyles you do and like thank you
i love all your videos about guinea pigs but i have a hamster do you change your hamsters diet or den during the winter
Wait, so I DONT need to give pellets to my guinea pigs?
Hi can I tell if my piggies just chubby or pregnant
And what do I do when one of my ladie pigs sows is bullying my pregnant sow
Like it’s vicious and it’s also uncalled for , It’s random attacks , it’s not like dominance behaviour where there would be a warning
It’s just all of a sudden vicious biting out of nowhere
I have to keep them seperate which removes a lot of cage space
I fill up my guinea pigs bowls full with the pellets but I always let it run right down before topping it up plus I keep a lot of hay for my piggies and put veggies whenever I can.

thxs for the tips!😉
I do love your videos but to be honest I much prefer your kind of vlog videos much more than when you do like scripted kinda videos like this. You seem to be yourself a lot more in the vlogs and I just seem to find them more interesting. Also how is monty and bonnie doing? Xx
