No truer words were ever spoken!
The lack of testosterone in this video is horrifying.
PIGGIE SLUMBER PARTY🍾🎉
Omg hiiii
i also have a guinea named wanda! she has red eyes and is a ginger/brown colour. I loved the show wanda vision and in a few months i plan on getting a fourth piggie and naming her vision. love your videos! i hope to also order from your etsy shop soon :)
that’s so such a cute idea! i’m a big wanda fan too!
I love WandaVision too! I’m planning to name any future pets Wanda & Vision (or just Wanda lol)
@@sadcodplayer same! such a good show
@@ThatAnimalHouse awwww it’s such a cute name i love it :))
it was like watching days of our guinea pig lives
I also bought one of my piggies from the petstore, because she has bright red eyes she had a hard time getting adopted. A woman screamed at her once and another person said she was of the devil because of her red eyes, but she's so sweet.
Ezra's picture in the beginning just reads "im gangster and not sorry" 🤣🤣
Question: how do they get on the top bunk? And btw I stumbled across your channel and now I'm hooked 🐽
Guinea pigs can jump if they want to
@@ZekeVG wow🤯they are really interesting to watch.
About to try bonding my two four year olds to 2 new females . Fingers crossed they get along
I'm new to your chanel ,but I really like it! My sister have "pigs" and I adore them😍😍😍. You are so polite and you really give so much information 👍😍 🥰Love from Sweden🥰 💖💖💖
I have my Freddy, male pig, who is SUPER aggressive toward lots of male pigs and does not like anyone in his space. I bonded him with my new very young male, Sputnik. After Sputnik hit his teen years, he's been trying to let some energy out (if you know, you know) but Fred will not let him near him. Now I have to wait until he's a little over 1 to try to bond them again. 7 months together and I have to restart! Hopefully, Freddy will mellow out cause he will be 2 next month and Sputnik will be 1.
I loved watching so I know what's not normal behavior I mean clearly I can tell if ones getting aggervated but this let me know also I know u said where u got ur piggy bunk beds at before in a video bit I can find it I just have to have one
Wanda's a little freak LOL
Great video
32:27 You need a baby monitor, lol.
My first guinea pig was alone for almost 3 months because my kids grandma didn't know they did better in pairs. She thought the pet store was trying to get rid of their last pig with the one she was getting.
And I wasn't ready for 1 pig, had no clue they were coming home with him. Had the small cage, cheap food, small plastic hut.
But we got him out for most of the day and he played with our cats. I kept joking he was turning into one.
When I started thinking of getting him a friend I couldn't find one. But when I did I knew right away he was the one. 8 weeks old and the same temperament as our boy. I was SO worried about bonding, but it didn't even take a hour. I saw our boy do things he never had done with us or the cats. He became a piggy again. They are best buds. They do everything together. Both love to be cuddle and held all the time, so it made getting things done a bit hard. Their like babies. So I invested in a critter cuddler. Best thing ever. Big brother introduced little brother to the kitty's and when their in their "free roam" pin in the livingroom the cats will sit on one side and the piggy's on the other.
Once our baby gets a bit bigger I will let them run around the house for a bit. I just want him bigger.
Hi I need tips to bond my 2 month and my 1year piggies
Are your piggies boys are girls? because if they’re girls there is a very high chance that it’ll work because of the age difference. But what I recommend is having a good sized bonding pen that has been cleaned or is new before putting the pigs in. Distract them with hay and veggies and try to keep the experience as positive as possible. Before you bond them try to have the pigs living side by side for a while to see how they react to each other and so they can get used to each other. Those are some of the things I have done in past bondings and I have had all successful bondings doing it. I hope it goes well!
@@GuineaSquiggles thank you so much they are boys I’m getting a girl soon
If you are saying you have 2 males already and you are planning on adding a girl with them I would strongly advise you NOT to do this!!!
They will fight over her..
@@missgirl368 You shouldn’t have 2 males and 1 female. The males will fight over the female and it could end up badly. I highly recommend you just keep your 2 males and don’t add anymore. It’s not really safe.
Might be getting a piggy after my ratties
Someone have an idea to convice my mom to go with out guinea pig to vet and buy more things for him?;_; she bought me and my sis guinea pig, ONE, when I was like 8 years old, I'm 14 and I feel really bad for him but I don't really own money and I think he needs a vet but my mom ignores it and my suggestions what to do to make his life better
Teddy is me honestly
ezra and jojo bonding?
I don't have much experience with guinea pigs but I know with rabbits there's a lot of preliminary steps you can take to help them recognize the other scent before you introduce them. Maybe try switching the litter boxes back and forth between the two for like a week or so and then introducing the bonding again
The bonding first 2 guinea pigs was ok. You don't let them to get along and determine the male alpha. In my opinion the interrupting them with the towel was too quick and 20 minutes is too short.
The social relationships between pigs are different than between people and I know that looks scary, but these fights were very mild. If there is some injuries and blood it's ok. Put some disinfectant liquid and let them determine the alpha.
Also you could prepare way more space for bonding and later decreasing it to the size of cage.
My pigs were fighting all night before they got along, and it wasn't easy for me. I was really scary and afraid of them.
In my opinion You can try again to bond these two guys, but be more patient. I will be ok :)
good luck!
After blood is drawn they shouldn’t ever be put together again, he did it right
After blood is drawn you shouldn’t try again. If they’re fighting to the point where there is blood it’s gone too far and you should stop trying. If you do continue and they do end up bonding chances are, their bond will just break in the future.
In my experience, having more than one pile of hay is best that way the less dominant piggies can avoid the drama and nibble comfortably to the side.
Same! The best way to bond males is to provide them a large space, separate food and water sources and just let them get to understand they aren't competing. The dynamic between the males in the first part of this video is obviously fighting over competition of a food source. They don't have ANYWHERE to go to feel safe and try again so it results in a fight because they are just constantly getting amped up. They need those hides to wind down for a moment before trying again and they need separate food source so they feel safe eating until they get used to each other and can eat together.
Both my males were highly aggressive to each other, they had a fight fights where they basically turn into a ball of chaos. After correcting the issues, the fights stopped and now they live together and freak out if I take one without the other out of the cage.
Very little food is best. You want them to pay attention to each other not the food.
@@IONullwell that would take common sense not often found in people this lost in life.
“Calm your balls” I’m going to use this phrase as often as possible now 😂
I can’t with the time lapse they went in a circle so many times 😅
I was praying for the female herd to work after everything you’ve been through this past week with the boys!
My herd of 6 girls still have dominance fights ever so often with the middle three. Herd leader and second in command also fight but that's normally for food. Bottom of the herd doesn't fight she's still a baby and the herd sees her as a baby and she'll go cuddle with herd leader. My other three are teenagers and often fight for who's third in command. I never have to step in because herd leader will step in and stop them. Even after the fights they go back to normal. There is a teen leader and other two submit to her, but sometimes they want to challenge it.
At one point I had 4 boys (Charlie, Stewart, Noah & Finn) with only one successful male bond (Charlie & Finn). Their bond was intense, in a good way. It started off with 21 day old Finn running to Charlie to nurse from him, & Charlie let him! Whenever I would take one out of the cage the other would SCREAM out & run around frantically looking for the other. Unfortunately Charlie unexpectedly passed away in September of 2020. I think it broke Finn’s heart. He’s never been the same since losing his adoptive dad. They were together for 2 years. I feel so lucky to have two males bond so deeply.
After Stewart’s passing in October 2021, both Noah & Finn are now neutered. Noah lives with his sister Penelope, & Finn lives with Lola & his mother Delilah.
Austin your piggies are so beautiful they are very lucky to have such a caring dad that loves them ❤ 🐹
With Ezra & Vision’s circling around the hay I thought I was watching two gladiators ready to fight to the death! Sorry it didn’t work out, and blood was shed, but so glad the girls are getting along well!
Bonding male guinea pigs is very difficult but one thing i learned is you should never ever interact in their fights while bonding. Until there is any actual agresivness like biting and stuff. This all is just how they show dominance which yes it's pretty painfull to watch. 😂
Edit: i am aware he got bitten which is a problem!
I am so excited to see the new cage set up for the herd. (=
Caroline burying herself in the hay is a total mood 🤣
I have been very fortunate with all my male guinea pigs.I have three males living together and two are brothers.All the very best to you with your bonding efforts.🤗
So glad it went well with the girls!🥰
What about jojo and Ezra? I think vision was the issue with both of those bonding sessions. So maybe they would actually get along?
When you do this what do you put under the blanket so they don't pee on the floor?
I love the little jumps they do when they are showing their dominance
I love your effort to try to get them together and let them do their thing. I think I would be scared more
Praying for everything to work out my boys didn't need to be bonded (they are brothers that lived together.
i have a herd of 7 girls. it was hard at the end of the bonding. but everything is okay now.
do your piggies not push the grids to escape? mine have figured out they can do that to any unsecured grid panel and they know they can LIFT them and escape that way. My 3 boars have never had real issues but 2 are a dad/son pair and have been together since the baby was 2 weeks old and the third doesn't know he's a boy pig or a guinea pig at all. LOL. He thinks i'm his bonded buddy and the other two mean nothing to him; he just chills. Daddy pig is very clearly in charge even tho he's the smallest pig now.
The music choice while time lapsing their encounter was a fantastic editing choice.
I have a question I DONT want to breed guinea pigs but I’ve heard that female and male are better to bond. I have one male guinea pig and I’m planning on getting a second one so he can have a better life with a bond. But I know there is a 20 percent chance of success with males. I know I can bond a male baby with and adult male and it will be more successful but I want to adopt not shop . Do you have any tips ? Should I just get a female and separate them/ get my pig fixed or should I try with a male and then separate if it’s not successful?
Austin hope you are doing well miss your videos! Was wondering where you got your carrying cases for your guinea pigs?😊
im veryy happy it worked out for the girls but at the same time sad that it didnt work out with Vision and Ezra
Ur pfp is bootiful Albert
We have had successful bonding, but we’re having a tough time with our boy Petrie. We had a fail bonding session and returned a boy. Then we got Zazu and it seemed to go well off the bat. But a couple weeks in, they keep breaking out into fights. Last night blood was drawn. Is it a fail or is there hope after some time with a divider? Not sure if it is a myth that blood drawn means there is no chance of pair.
If blood is drawn separate them. There is a VERY low chance the bond will work and I would recommend getting them each there own friend and keeping the cages next to each other so they can still get enrichment from each other.
I have a herd of 18 piggies, a neutered boar with a bunch of sows. I also have two other males that each live next to each other because the one kept the other from the food all the time even though there were two bowls and two hay racks. Sometimes it just doesn’t work which sucks.
Where do you keep them? Like do they have a dedicated room in your home or a completely separate house in a yard/garden
I’ve never watched males try to bond and it’s not funny but it’s also so funny the way they square up 😂😂
I have 2 bonded piggies already but i want to bond my new one sonic. I dont know if it would even out fighting with my bonded over there food. And even thou the dominance? Or would they just fight continuously ❤
More that 2 males the bond fails 95% of the time, with one poor pig bullied or bitten. Don't even try it. Only have one neutered male if in with ladies or similarly, they'll fight. Try to get a lone pig a friend they like from a rescue, soon as.
This is opposite with rabbits. Females are a lot harder. But. I dont fix or neuter mine since I breed so it’s a bit harder. One of my angoras I can put any new rabbit with her male or female. She only got along with male that i know if but she has been with female before. So. She is my second choice if I don’t have another cage if I want to get a new baby. I have also tried to bond two of my females and have taken multiple blood drawn bites from them. I didn’t have any good gloves and I can’t block them off because they will move the item even in my hand 😅
Omg that’s what I did too. I got 5 girlies together now. Sometimes they fight but having like some grassed at the middle of their pen is absolutely good for them to bond. Tho lemme see when I bond my boars 😳
Sounds like you need to get a baby monitor for your bonding sessions I thought about getting one when I was doing introductions with my boy rats they can be a little bit difficult I will probably get one before I try reintroducing my oldest to my two youngest rats my mischief has kinda fallen apart recently
I say if Vision is that aggressive, then yeaah neutering may help, and hey, bonus could bond him with the girls and he could be with the girls.
Neutering guinea pigs doesn’t change their behaviour it just makes them unable to breed.
My sows lunged at each other but no blood was drawn I feel like I separated to quickly but they were fighting they’re skinny pigs and was scared one of them getting injured but really want to try one more time
Great video!! The five piggies are still feeling eachother out it seems.. the video of them sleeping in the bottom bunk beds was the cutest Ever!! I hope the group of five are able to work the kinks out!
im so happy that you finally had a successful bonding! sorry to see that the first one didnt work out though, maybe if you got vision neutered he could join this big herd one day
Just FYI, neosporin can be toxic if they ingest it (if it contains bacitracin, it cannot be used orally in guinea pigs). I usually only use it somewhere on the body they can't reach. Bummer that the boys didn't work out. Bonding can be such a hard thing!
Hi! For the time I’ve applied Neosporin near the mouth (only once on another pig of mine), it’s only ever been a small bit where it will not be harmful to the pig. I gave Vision a close look after the failed bonding and saw the cut wasn’t too bad and opted to not use Neosporin and just gave him some CBD. He’s doing much better now!
@@ThePigRoom Yeah after I said that I was like the amount for that cut wouldn't be enough to hurt him lol I'm always just paranoid 😂 I'm so glad the girls worked out, bonding is so dang stressful
@@TheTinyHerd It really is!! I hope things went well for your piggies today 👀
I feel like my pigs bond they are boys and there is agression but one hasn't seen a pig in a year and the other has always lived with pigs so they are a weird pare so they dont live together they are the weirdest
i have three brothers that fight, not like growling like tussling, they are currently separated any tips on no fights? (they are also 9 months old)
That love bite nip was pay back for her peeing in her mouth lol
Great video
I wanna know your opinion is it easier to bond girls than it is easier with boys? And how many boys can be in a cage can you have four in one cage if it’s big enough or is it better to have more girls in a cage
It’s never recommended to have more than 2 males in a cage as they usually never work and their bond has more chances of breaking.
@@ThatAnimalHouse ok thank you very much
@@ThatAnimalHouse how many girls can be in a cage
you can have over 50 girls together!!! obviously not recommended but there is no limit!! ive tried bonding boys and it did not go well 😂 i don’t recommend 😂😂
@@guineapigparadise8042 you can have as large of a herd of girls as long as they bond. sometimes you get clashing personalities and they won’t bond with the herd but it’s not as likely. usually when adding a new pig to a herd of females you want to get one that’s younger than the rest, but a lot of times it goes fine with females of any age
💜
Congrats on your new herd!! I loved seeing all their personalities.
Awesome I’m glad it worked for the girls. But i was surprised to see so many hides, didn’t you say you would let them sleep in the open. It was of course charming to see them all in their bunk beds. 😍
Hi I got 28 guinea pig, 10 rabbit, 2 cat and 1 hamster
Woah 😳 That’s a lot lol I hope you have many pets when i’m older (not that much though 😅)
Is Kyle named after RHOBH pls
SHE IS!! You are the first person to get it correct 😆
@@ThePigRoom bye that’s incredible I love u Kyle
Kyle, Teddy and Caroline
Kyle and Teddi lmfaooo
They need somewhere to hide and two piles of food.
Yay so nice to finally see a herd ^^ hope you can keep bonding your guinea pigs where possible so they are kept as they're meant to
I'm late to the party but I'm curious about not having a hideout for the whole night... it seems like that will be hard for them. Totally new to the Guinea pig mom life so I'm learning.
I thought that, too. Seems it would be stressful for them constantly :exposed: all night.
Maybe Vision needs a baby female. I really had hope for the bonding. I’m glad the girls worked out! I love the big herd!💓
He would need to be neutered and wait six weeks then. I don’t think he is going down the route of neutering so baby boy would suit him better , fingers crossed 🤞
Omg i followed this on instagram!! Also i love your videos!
Kai sounds like the name of a loner
My pigs chase each other all the time
Now we get a new “rearranging my pig room” video and I am not mad about it
6:31 omg how is your arm doing that
It was so adorable when they were all in their bunkbeds !!😂☺️
I am so happy you finally had a successful bond!🥰
2:55 I dieddd
I'm so glad to hear that relationships don't always work. We have 2 males that are llttermates. We assumed this would be a sure thing to assure they wouldn't fight. Umm...wrong.
We received them from a failed bonding from another family (they didn't bond with their guineas). We got them home, got them settled tripled the cage size and established a routine. Then all of a sudden, they stated to fight. Not just tiff, but bite & bleed one another. So we separated them with a wire guard. They were ok mostly, but still charged each other or chewed on the wire to try and get to each other. We have moved to separated cages where they can hear each other, but not see each other. Now everyone is calm, but I feel bad. We try to get the together each week, but they almost always go straight into fight mode. I'm glad to know it's not always something we do, but maybe it's just a guy thing. Bummer if they are lonely, but maybe it's better than injured pigs???
The overly dominant pig also tends to bite my daughter. She's not ever don't anything to her. He just doesn't like her. He only really likes me. He weaks when he sees me, wants a snack and sprawls out on my lap in cuddle time almost right after getting a treat. I hope that's just a preference thing too. Lucky fit her, the docile one loves her like the aggressive one likes me.
Love your headband!!🥰
I really love your video and your piggies
So i just introduced my single male to a new male piggy. Its been like six days, and no blood drawn. They are not totally besties. Like, they hang out nearby each other calmly for a lot of the day, but still exhibit some dominant behavior. More rumbling thank clicking. But six days, no serious fights, success?
when i was younger i had gotten 2 boys from the pet store and thankfully we had NEVER had any problems with dominance bc i would have no idea what to do
When they throw their booties to make themselves look bigger i can’t help but to laugh 😂❤ trying to be threatening while looking adorable and throwing @$$ 🍑
VISION LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE MY BABY OMG- red eyes and all!! 🥺🥺🥺 i've NEVER seen a cutie pie look exactly like my guinea pig-
So I am new to piggies and just realized a little too late I introduced my two young boys wrong. They're both a few weeks from weaned I think one is older. They mostly get along now. No marks or blood, but there is lots of grumbles and sounds. Do you think they'll be ok? I'm hoping they willl I wasn't planning on more than 2 pigs and I do have a secondary cage for worst case but maybe not the room to set them both up? getting tight. due to other animals this is the biggest covered cage I can find. I'm wondering if they'll bond in time since they're not hurting each other. IT's been over a week since they've been tossed intogether. Yes I see it should have gone more slowly but whats done is done at this point? Looking for advice.
Supaw glad to see the successful bonding! 🙌 Wanda is soooo cute and friendly! 😁
12:55 We hope his lip gets better soon. 💚
I have 6 girls and 3 boys kinda upset because the two boys fight and one of them climb and escape from his cage he currently has his own cage except that has a lid on top so he won’t climb he fights with any pig and he’s aggressive so I assume he preferably likes to be by himself the other two get along. The 6 girls get along also, it’s a lot of cleaning and effort especially I’m only 16 yrs old has a job and go to school it’s hard to give more attention but I try to give attention enough for all my piggies
Can’t stop watching your content. Made me laugh so hard at the straight male comment cuz you’re so right 😂 ❤ love your energy and listening to your explanations. What is your star sign @The Pig Room
Hey man, I’ve been looking for a good fleece blanket so there per doesn’t go through. How good is the orange blanket in this video?
I have a mom and daughter. They get along great. I found a 3rd pig. She was so tiny, alone, and a failed bond. So I bought her. The daughter (beans) and the new pig ( brownie) get along great. But the mom ( cookie) hates the new pig. I have them splitting a cage with a barrier. For the first week I had a divider where they couldn't see each other. Then for a couple weeks I pulled the divider up a few inches until I knew they couldn't hurt each other. After a couple months I tried to bond one at a time. Then all 3.
So I guess now I'm waiting a few months until brownie ( new pig) gets bigger and can stand her own ground. Then try again.
Although I was told to add hideys with 3 entrances.
I’ve had a total of 7 piggies (1 passed of cancer and 1 of an anal prolapse shortly after I adopted her), I have 5 now and have only kept 5 at one time. All girls. I never want to bond males, my girls make it so easy. With 2 of them I’m convinced I could’ve just put them in the cage with the others and walked away and everything would’ve been fine, but of course I did it properly anyways lol.
Like your Bock beer t-shirt, watched your house up grade for your 5 girls. Girls have their issues but easier to match then boys. Multi more fun with herd dynamics then 2 or 3 in homes, if you only had a few pigs matched before you'll love having a herd, all the best with your new herd...
I'd like to thank you for also stating that sometimes it doesn't work. Our two boars never worked out. We tried in a 2x8' area and the one would lunge, mount, spray and bite to hurt the other. They're still side by side with a small divider but otherwise will even try to bite through bars. Milo is also a really big pig and Zeak is a dominant personality.
Brilliant blogg!!!! Really enjoyed it!!!! But I know I would not get piggies!!! I don’t have the time to dedicate to them!!! Love watching them!!! Thank you much!!! Ann from England xxx
Yay!!
How expensive is it to fix the male pig? They’re so small compared to a dog or cat. Lol
Idk why....but i feel like the Gods in heaven do the same thing with me trying to home me...🤔
