I had a rare biting piggy. I never hurt him or did anything mean to him- I loved him! - I figured out that he would bite when my hands got too close to his belly. As a small prey animal, it scared him to have anything close to his belly because he felt vulnerable. Once I realized that, I stopped getting too close to his belly and the biting stopped.
Yeah one of mine does the whole "warning peck" if shes touched near the neck... including the feet. The other doesnt like it either but she just rants at me and push my hand away if i touch jer there. Does make it a bit difficult when they need their nails trimmed.
Every night, around 8pm, my Guinea pig will push his hide out into the middle of his cage and start popcorning and running around it. I love it. So cute!
My poor little baby died a few years back and after I did a bunch of research to find out how although it was almost all inconclusive as she was a rescue and I didn’t have that much information on her, when I found her dead she was sprawled out at the time I didn’t think much of it but I remembered and clicked the video to see and it warms my heart that she left feeling safe and comfortable ❤️
My piggy died on Christmas day last year and luckily I found her before she passed so we all held her and kissed her and told her we love her. She passed in my sisters arms because it was her guinea pig
My Guinea pig died peacefully as well. I just didn’t know how sick she really was. I miss her. I don’t think about her everyday like I did when it was fresher but I miss her cause she was sweet and cute. She looked it too.
Ummm..I mean, when you lose all control of your body in death, you may be laying in a peaceful position where you land but that doesn't indicate a state of comfort or safety. Sad to say. If anything, derive comfort from the fact she probably didn't know what was going on and no signs of a struggle may mean she at least lost consciousness fast. I've been there in many a guinea pigs final moments and a lot of times they die in a "flopped" or "sprawled" position but they were clearly in a lot of distress prior.
There's a way induce a yawn in most guinea pigs in my experience when they are comfortable with you, usually you can "yawn" a guinea pig when they are relaxed by stroking the length of their bodies wrapping one hand around it by the shoulder and slowly working down their body like a massage.
I've had piggies get so into their popcorns that they land on their side and kick their feet around for a second like they're seizing before standing back up and zooming around more. XD
A little tip on how to pick guinea pigs up: Dont immediately pick them up, you should put your hand in front of them, then pet them, after a few seconds you can pick them up, if they sqeak or keep jumping that means they arent really in the "mood" to be picked up. And the way i pick up MY guinea pigs is that i put my thumbs on their back, and the rest of my fingers on top, then i just fix my position when theyre in my hands so i can pet them. And sometimes when you go to put them bacm in theyre cage, they'll probably try and jump out of your hands, if your close to the ground of the cage, let them go, but if your a little bit high up, its not recommended to let them jump, or they will end up hurting another guinea pig, or themselves🙂
Good advice here. Been keeping pigs for almost thirty years now, I find there are some variations to this method depending on the guinea pig. My boy responds to a little head and ear scruffle before I run the length of his body with my hand before picking him up. Whatever the preferred method of interaction the guinea pig appreciates before a pick up, never snatch at them like I've seen too many pet store runners do. They snatch them up like a hawk would and it pisses me off.
My Guinea pigs love to do the sprawling out and sleep with their eyes closed when I’m playin with my Nintendo. They go under the tv that has a pillow for them, I lower the volume and they do it
@@pifandrei5743 mmm not all the time! but make sure u keep the cage door open (I’m not sure what cage you have but if you don’t open it from top then keep the cage door open so if they need to go pee maybe they could go in the bathroom in the cage!)
Tip for others. If youre guinea pigs stand afwully still but standing you might want to make sure there okay. 1 time my 3d guinea pig was standing awfully still, still breathing but her sisters were being very energetic. A little time later she was in the same exact spot. She never moved. I tried giving her her favorite treat but she didnt want it. I did something I never wanted to do wich was try to scare her (not to hard, guinea pigs can die of shock) So I grabbed her with my hands from ABOVE wich guinea pigs can easily mistake with a bird but she didnt even flinch. Not even when I picked her up for real. I said it to my mom, she said to wake up my dad, he was a little frustrated that I woke him up at first but came jumping out of bed once he heard what was going on. We raced to the vet but we were to late. We could choose. Let her suffer but give her a goodbye or give her a painless death. We chose for the painless one because nothing deseves to be in such pain if it cant be saved. My little brother was gonna go to a party but when he heard that our guinea pig wasnt gonna make it he didnt even go. Now for some reason, there is this saying at school that I twisted my guinea pigs neck. Ussually not even said it was because she was in pain but I wasnt even there at her death. My dad got with a car and we just saw her die because of an injection on camera. It was 1 way to say goodbye. So if ur guinea pig ever sits awfully still, keep an eye on him or her. Edit: Down to one. Second one died this evening. The good news is it was quick.
My homie: yo why is your guinea pig Frozen? Me: oh he's just scared *Grabs guinea pig* Me: come on bitles, don't be scared Bitles: *still frozen* Me: leme check the wi-fi My homie: WHY Me: he runs on wi-fi My homie:💀
One of my pigs nibbles me and then proceeds to lick me as if it’s an apology. It’s not that she’s scared of me since she eats out of my hand, popcorns almost 24/7 and sprawls out even when I walk past. She’s called Little My, if you know Moomins ya know ;)
Aww I’m loving these piggy videos! Keep up the good work. :) I got a New Guinea Pig to love yesterday and I’m so happy. His name is Furrn 😂 Lots of From Furrn, Daisy (my other Guinea pig) and I to everyone!
This video was very helpful!!! I have two male guinea pigs and I always wondered why are they mounting on eachother, finally got the answer :p Thank you so much for this video!
my piggys always run away from being picked up but when their being held they love it and its just cause their scared weve only had them for about a month
My Guinea Pig would always squeal for treats once the Sun rose. It was fine during the winter at 7:00am but pretty annoying during the Summer when the sun would come out at like 4:00am LOL. Still loved him to death though. He died around 2 years ago.
Guinea pigs have a great sense of smelling, they can recognize humans by how the human walks and speaks, they also love music as one of the few domestic animals. ❤
Omg I’m so glad I googled this topic I thought my piggy was sick or dying when actually she is sprawling out and comfortable I actually have a very comfortable piggy she always squeaks for me and with me she always popcorn, and she sleeps with her eyes closed all the time and just recently within the last couple of months I noticed that sprawling and she’s sprawling outside of her hideout. I’m so relieved
In my experience chewing the cage bars means they found out it makes annoying noise, so they do it when they want something more tasty than old boring hay. :D
soo i just got my guinea pig yesterday, when i first saw them. They were very scared til i put them in my legs and they started to approach me. but what i rly am worried about is they close their eyes while sleeping, i do some researches then found that it means that they are comfortable with the surroundings, but i also found answers that it means theres some hazzards aroung, my room are clean but i dont rly know why they close their eyes.

@@michaelsamxq8824 there’s no need to be aggressive to that person, typically Guinea pigs are herd animals, and when you only have one they are at risk of having depression and dying from depression. It’s just always best to have more than one so that they have that companionship that we can’t give them that another Guinea pig can. I can give you some tips if you like I have two boys of my own, that I have had for almost a year now and even I’m still learning new things about them
@@ivylyons2303 Thank you but im pretty much underage and my parents only got one. They dont have the best relationship with animals, so a second on would litterally make my parents wanna pack up and leave. But other than that, i always pet him after school or before school, i hand feed him and i also play with him. I care about him a lot and i would never want anything to happen to my baby. The last person that owned him, never took him to the vet, never took him outside and put him in one small cage with a few more guinea pigs. The first time i saw him i knew that i wasnt gonna let anybody hurt him.
My family and I raised piggies when I was a kid. We never put them in a cage. Cardboard boxes served us well. They chewed up the cardboard...it kept their teeth sharp, and it gave them something to do. They could crawl out whenever they wanted, but they always came back for the food. One thing I learned: never boop a piggy on the nose. Touching noses is one thing; booping is another. They don't like it, and sometimes they will bite. They''re dopey-looking in a way, but they're much faster than people think, and their teeth are sharp.
My Guinea pigs did some of these things, sprawling, licking, popcorning, see now this is what I mean when I say they are my little angels, I wish you could see them, THEY ARE SOOO CUTE ❤️
We just got 2 young male guinea pigs abt 2 weeks ago. At first the black one was mounting the brown one in the dominance treatment. But in their new environment with us, it was the black one that ran into their house all the time, and the brown one checking us out while we tried communicating. Then for days the brown one was mounting the black one. Now, a week later, the black one is mounting HIM again. Evidently they trade off in being "boss". Does that happen only when they're young or do they change their roles with each other all their lives?
That means that the other guinea pig won't except him as the dominant piggy you may have gotten two dominant guinea pigs. It can take them a while to figure it out.
My Guinea pig has plenty to chew on and eat and he still bites the Side of his cage. It usually only happens if I need to refill his water or if I have veggies
Yeah, I made that mistake when I got my first guinea pig didn’t look into it first and then we got another guy after that since we thought we know enough about guinea pigs for the first one we didn’t if you do end up feeding the guinea pigs you might just wanna end up giving it more attention rather than getting a second one it’s a lot more work and sometimes they hate each other and then you have to get a separate cage and then maybe even get two more pay so they get along tell me might not even get along
As I was holding Nutmeg (My guinea pig) , it got to the part where it said " If you're pet is fidgeting while being held, it could be about to pee. " 2 seconds later ... I got Guinea Pee on my chair xD
I just got 2 guinea pigs for the first time and they're still scared but their nails are very long please someone give me tips on how to get them to relax so I can trim them
I'd just say: try! I thought it would be hell to trim my guinea pigs nails, but they honestly did really great! Make sure to hold the paws firmly (so it doesn't move) and only cut the white parts. (There are vessels in the pink nail part) If you notice your guinea pig getting nervous, give it a treat. But make sure all the treats are gone/out of sight once you start trimming again so that they won't start chasing the food 💕
Just do it. Make sure you do not cut into there life nail. You can also go to a exotic vet neitbeigh to show you how it is done. And always do it with 2 people. One holds the pig and the other cuts.
I cut my pigs nails with the help of another person. While I cut the other person feeds them with their favourite food the whole time. With some it took some time but now all are relaxed when nail trimming time arrives. Good luck!!
i have two female guinea pigs the same age about half a year and one is named cinnamon (smaller than Sugar) and one is named Sugar (bigger than Cinnamon) even tho she is smaller, Cinnamon is way more dominent than sugar lol
Im not saying your wrong when they eat their droppings but my guinea pig goes down by her hind leg and pulls out loose hairs and then does nothing(but she also eats her pellets)She also licks my lips
Pretty lucky that you’re guinea pig doesn’t depend on you for everything😂 anytime my guinea pig has any problems at all he usually goes to one of the rabbits to help him or to one of us humans😅
If they gnaw on the cage you may want to give them something else to gnaw on, something more than hay. They rly like to have some wood in the cage too.
I had two guinea pigs named Oreo and Cow when I first got them I would pick them up and just have fun with them but when I left to go somewhere I came back and Oreo had something sticking out of his back (also Cow was always trying to be the boss getting on his back) so I tried to remove it but couldnt so the next day I went to the vet with Oreo and he was paralyzed, the people took him back somewhere and it's been years and hes now dead but I still have Cow till this day and love him but I also miss Oreo
6:30 my guinea pig, kept melting on my large rabbit, named brownie to assert th. Don’t know why they used to be best friends but brownie now takes the other bunny cookies side so that’s ok probably why

My piggy does the same thing! Every time someone pets it’s belly.
Mines bites cause he's an ass cleaning out his cage n he went up to my hand n bite me
My Guinea pig does the same when I touch her paws
Yeah one of mine does the whole "warning peck" if shes touched near the neck... including the feet.
The other doesnt like it either but she just rants at me and push my hand away if i touch jer there.
Does make it a bit difficult when they need their nails trimmed.

Or carrot
Tip for others.

My little brother was gonna go to a party but when he heard that our guinea pig wasnt gonna make it he didnt even go.

Edit: Down to one. Second one died this evening. The good news is it was quick.
@FreePigeon i mean if it doesnt move in the slightest while thd others a just pumneling around. That might mean something isnt right.
@FreePigeon and what was wrong with it? She had a lot of gas in her stomach and we were to late bringing her to the vet.

That means that the other guinea pig won't except him as the dominant piggy you may have gotten two dominant guinea pigs. It can take them a while to figure it out.
i´m going to buy guinea pig this helped very much
Did you film this on my birthday 😅
9:17 is it the same if they do it fast infront of the other guinea pig?
Now i understand why my male piggy mounts my other male piggy :,)
my kids 2 male guinea pigs do this as well.. glad i don't have to have that conversation explaining the other thing to them :D :D
Same with mine lol
My Guinea pig has plenty to chew on and eat and he still bites the Side of his cage. It usually only happens if I need to refill his water or if I have veggies
Yeah, my piggy also chews on his cage whenever he wants something. Usually treats, or saying "it's dinner/hay refill time!"
When he makes that teeth noise does it mean it's hungry or scared of me being too close
My Guinea pig yanks on the cage too get my attention for food all the time lol
When he said sense of smell my genie pigs put her nose up
my guinea pigs love sitting like me lol its so funny to see
One of my guinea pigs freezes everytime anybody enters my room if its not me. Guinea pigs usually throw their head back when petting their head.
05:40 what it means??
Yeah I’m most definitely not getting one they pee on things and others… most definitely not about to be dealing with tht😂😂😂 I’m glad I did research
Yeah, I made that mistake when I got my first guinea pig didn’t look into it first and then we got another guy after that since we thought we know enough about guinea pigs for the first one we didn’t if you do end up feeding the guinea pigs you might just wanna end up giving it more attention rather than getting a second one it’s a lot more work and sometimes they hate each other and then you have to get a separate cage and then maybe even get two more pay so they get along tell me might not even get along
Yall noticed how he skipped #17😭
I didn't notice until you pointed it out
As I was holding Nutmeg (My guinea pig) , it got to the part where it said " If you're pet is fidgeting while being held, it could be about to pee. " 2 seconds later ...
I got Guinea Pee on my chair xD
My guinea pig chews her cage when she wants something to eat - that's how she gets my attention
I just got one yesterday thank you for the info
You have 2 get two not 1.
Just a lot of pee and poo. But they’re so cute!
And small, silly and smelly, enjoying my time with my new one
My guinea pig had cancer and couldn't eat or poop and he was in alot of pain but he was still popcorning so what does that mean?
Ty very informative video
I just got 2 guinea pigs for the first time and they're still scared but their nails are very long please someone give me tips on how to get them to relax so I can trim them
I'd just say: try! I thought it would be hell to trim my guinea pigs nails, but they honestly did really great! Make sure to hold the paws firmly (so it doesn't move) and only cut the white parts. (There are vessels in the pink nail part) If you notice your guinea pig getting nervous, give it a treat. But make sure all the treats are gone/out of sight once you start trimming again so that they won't start chasing the food 💕
Just do it. Make sure you do not cut into there life nail. You can also go to a exotic vet neitbeigh to show you how it is done. And always do it with 2 people. One holds the pig and the other cuts.
I cut my pigs nails with the help of another person. While I cut the other person feeds them with their favourite food the whole time. With some it took some time but now all are relaxed when nail trimming time arrives. Good luck!!
Look up la guinea pig rescue. They have trimming videos and a bunch of educational stuff.
this realy helped me take care of mine
I have the best pun everrrrrrrrrrrr!
I put food in there cage and said: that would last a whole wheak/week
Wow. Very Nice
i have two female guinea pigs the same age about half a year and one is named cinnamon (smaller than Sugar) and one is named Sugar (bigger than Cinnamon) even tho she is smaller, Cinnamon is way more dominent than sugar lol
Im not saying your wrong when they eat their droppings but my guinea pig goes down by her hind leg and pulls out loose hairs and then does nothing(but she also eats her pellets)She also licks my lips
Pretty lucky that you’re guinea pig doesn’t depend on you for everything😂 anytime my guinea pig has any problems at all he usually goes to one of the rabbits to help him or to one of us humans😅
I saw them mounting 💀
What about: head bobbing,purring, whisling? Tks
When I had a guinea pigs, they slept eyes closed😘
open the fridge whee whee (give me a carrot right now)
mine only bite bars when they hear me open the fridge or when its dinner time for them
Same
If they gnaw on the cage you may want to give them something else to gnaw on, something more than hay. They rly like to have some wood in the cage too.
I had two guinea pigs named Oreo and Cow when I first got them I would pick them up and just have fun with them but when I left to go somewhere I came back and Oreo had something sticking out of his back (also Cow was always trying to be the boss getting on his back) so I tried to remove it but couldnt so the next day I went to the vet with Oreo and he was paralyzed, the people took him back somewhere and it's been years and hes now dead but I still have Cow till this day and love him but I also miss Oreo
Anyone else notice how there was no 17 and two 11’s
Good To Know.😊
Intresting
6:30 my guinea pig, kept melting on my large rabbit, named brownie to assert th. Don’t know why they used to be best friends but brownie now takes the other bunny cookies side so that’s ok probably why
