Another tip is to sit in a large playpen with them and stay in the same spot and let them explore around you. I think this would really help a shy, scared piggie come out of their shell! :)
Oh my goodness!! I wanted to teach my piggy a trick so I taught him "Up" and he puts his paws on my hand. I didn't know that meant he trusted me! Thank you for posting!!
Whenever I peak into Cookie's cage, (my little boy, he's almost a year, a gorgeous long haired and happy piggie) he always comes out to look at me and he popcorns, our routine for play time is usually around mid day or night time, (because I have school work during the day) he comes out into the open and waits for me to pick him up. I have a plastic sheet that I put over my bed, and I'll lay a large blanket over me and let him wander a bit, making sure he doesn't get hurt. He only runs around when it's dark or he has something covering him, and I think this is because when I first got him, he was around 2-3 months, I would let him explore with me on my bed while I did my school work on my laptop, he's always been very clingy and loves cuddling inside my sweatshirt. He's a very picky eater so I was hard to find treats that he liked. I love him so much. I've been spending more time with him because his cage mate died (she was very sick when we got her, and was also inbred) her name was Momo and she only lived to be 5 months, we had to put her down because she refused to eat and couldn't stand up on her own, she could barely even sit up.. I fed her by hand and gave her water from a syringe for a bit, but it got to the point where she was losing weight and looked terrible. I miss her so much and still cry about it because I adored her and loved her with all my heart. I love your channel and I've been watching your videos since before I got Cookie. You've been so helpful and I didn't mean to write a book here, but I hope you see this. Thank you for all the help 💕
ref Reilly let them get used to you and let them settle in if you first got them spend lots of time with them and give them food they will see you as the food person and love you forever
They're so cute. My wife got two piggies three days ago and your vids are very helpful. They are from a rescue centre and very timid but they are gaining confidence especially at feeding time. Thanks for the videos, she loves her little furballs
I’ve had my guinea pig for about two months and never thought there was a better way to bond with rolo than I started watching your videos and the doors blew right open for me thanks so much
Thank you so much for these tips! They really helped me bond with my guinea pig who came from an extremely traumatizing background. He now trusts me and no one else.
Two nights ago I tried the paws-in-hand thing and they actually took to it immediately to get their treat. The next morning they are so hand friendly, I couldn't believe these were the same guinea pigs! WOW! Best tip ever!!!
My piggie (Oreo) I have had for a year and a half now and he’s nearly 2. When I first bonded with him I would let roam around anywhere he feels comfortable and I also found if you hold them. I used to watch tv while he sat on my lap calmly and I still do this xx
I adopted a guinea pig from my favorite rescue shelter, the dude that served us even had trouble getting him out of the cage and into my carrier. It’s been 1 month and he still runs whenever I walk near his cage, he won’t let me pick him up or even show me affection and I’m always nice to him
I had gotten my GP from a local trusted pet shop, I picked him out and drove home, we put him in a cage in a quiet yet well populated area of the house and he loves/loved being around me and others and it was great having him trust me so easily! I even watched your channel for tips and was able to help a friend with her GP! ❤
Thank you so much that first tip was pure Gold. Just did this 2 times and they are already super comfortable around my hands before i did this they ran away from every small hand movement :D
Ive had my oldest guinea pig(cuddles) for two years,and the one person he loves the most is my grandma,because she always takes care of them and feeds them,im 10 and im supposed to take care of them,but my grandma takes care of them all the time haha
Wow, you're videos are amazing. Straight to the point, cute and entertaining.. I'm a new owner and have learned so many valuable tips in such a short time by watching your vids. Thank you so much for doing this.
OMG I love all of your videos and your piggies are awesome!!!!!!!!! You and your GPs are beautiful for sharing these videos. You give great tips and in a fun way. I really appreciate what you are doing! :-)
Thanks for the tips! My piggies aren't very used to me yet, but they are slowly getting comfortable. Once, they were so used to me, they started to run around me with happiness. But then my dad accidentally scared them so I'm back to square one
I have a suggestion for a video I really want to see happen! If you did take a few clips... then can you show us what your guinea pigs were like before they got used to you? This would really motivate others to bond with their piggies seeing the difference between then and now. Thanks, if you read this! Even more thanks if you actually do this!
I’m getting a guinea pig on Tuesday and I was so excited! Thank you so much for all of these tips you are a lifesaver!!! Keep making these videos and I will show my guinea pig! By the way her name is Sadie she is going to love you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have had my guinea pigs for about a week now and a great way that makes my guineas bond with me is by just sitting outside their cage and taking to them. They may even talk back🐹
When I first got my piggies, I will admit I wasn’t that educated about them so I went about the bonding all wrong. Now they are very Scottish and I was wondering If I could get any tips on how to turn that around and go about it the right way so they can be happy. Love your channel so much and your piggies obviously love ❤️ you
We are going to get fleece blanket pieces so we don't have to change the bedding and so when there sleepy then they could lay down and sleep wash it when they poo you can wash it do it every day
My first guinea pig (R.I.P) was sooo sociable with people around, he even follows me in the backyard 😊 but my new one is so shy... after 3 months with me he still so shy and nervous 🙁
How long did it take for your piggies to get tamed? Just wondering, since they're so comfortable around you! Awesome video, very helpful :) Our new piggies are starting to get more comfortable by taking treats, and sniffing and letting us pet them in the cage! I can't wait to put these tips into action! Love your videos! Keep up your amazing work, and congrats on 16k, you deserve it! :D
thanks :) It really depends on the guinea pig. Pebbles was tame after a few weeks, Little One was tame immediately (but he was also born here), Sylvester took 6 months and Frieda has just gotten tame a few weeks ago (so 2 years)
+Little Adventures Wow, quite a large range of numbers! I did some of the tips, my baby piggy, Hope, easily stepped on my hand, and hopped on my leg from the ground for a treat, or a piece of veg!
Iv had my pigs for 3 moths called floss and mimy and they've excaped out of there cagde alot of times once they excaped at my sleepover oh have your piggies excaped befour
My pig died and it makes me so sad to watch this, he died in my arms and I’m fudgeing tear up right now, I love him so much!!! I’m miss him so bad! When I had to sell his cage I cried so hard..
You don't need to sell the cage.. you can always buy one just to not make you sad.. i mean, my pig died and because i have a good bro within 4 hours i got 2 new. Sure, i got sad and all of that BUT helped me to get over it, you should try it too
I got my first Guine pig today and I'm so happy but I want to pet and hold but I no to wait a couple of weeks to get use to every thing thanks for the tips so I no what to do for them to bond with them
I feel horrible. I've been treating them horribly! They're cage is on the 2nd floor so I have to let them go downstairs and I usually just pick them up. Sorry Nina and Pinta, I didn't know!
Another tip is to sit in a large playpen with them and stay in the same spot and let them explore around you.
I think this would really help a shy, scared piggie come out of their shell! :)
Brenna D that is a great idea!
Brenna D I tried this and my guinea pig,Chubbs, loves me more now!
Brenna D great idea but they dont have shells...😁
thanks a loot
Brenna Downey , My cage is small so I don’t think that will work for me. 😅😓
When my piggies are scared they jump into my hair, run to my lap or jumps on me. He even does it when he's not scared, it's so cute🐹
Awwww

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I'm about to get my guinea pig on the 7th and I merely watched all your videos and it's really helping me thank you!

Thanks now I will also follow these tricks make them my friend thank you
I've been trying these out with my piggies! And they love the fact that they get more food haha😄❤🐾
I just got a couple of piggies myself :) have been watching your videos to get some helpful tips and advice on how to make their lives great :)

It means she is content around you and likes your presence.

When you said the curious thing my guinea pig was showing curiosity in the wall lol
Thanks for the tips! My piggies aren't very used to me yet, but they are slowly getting comfortable. Once, they were so used to me, they started to run around me with happiness. But then my dad accidentally scared them so I'm back to square one
I had my guinea pig missie for two days and now she lets me sit by her cage and she doesn't run away thank you so much
Your channel has really helped me to try to tame my Guinea pig and I just got her today
I have a suggestion for a video I really want to see happen!
If you did take a few clips... then can you show us what your guinea pigs were like before they got used to you? This would really motivate others to bond with their piggies seeing the difference between then and now. Thanks, if you read this!
Even more thanks if you actually do this!
I LOVE the effects in this video!!!
I love her videos she always has something good to say
:)
I’m getting a guinea pig on Tuesday and I was so excited! Thank you so much for all of these tips you are a lifesaver!!! Keep making these videos and I will show my guinea pig! By the way her name is Sadie she is going to love you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations! Darien!

Thank you so much my guinea pigs are now comfortable around me
Thanks for the tips! Going to be trying this with my 2 new additions to the herd!
I need to get a guinea pig.I need to prepare for it.Love your video❤️
We are going to get fleece blanket pieces so we don't have to change the bedding and so when there sleepy then they could lay down and sleep wash it when they poo you can wash it do it every day
It’s been half a year and my piggies still run away from me. When you were sitting on the floor and they all crowded around you I felt so jealous 😭
when i put my hand in they start to nibble my hand but now they sit on my hand and they let me raise them and hold them and they love it!!!!
What little treats are you offering them? It looks like uncooked oatmeal and they seem to love it.
I think my piggies are almost tamed because when ever I enter the room or they hear my steps going towards them they squik very loud
I don’t even have a guinea pig but I still love your videos! 😊💜
A curious piggy is an adventurous piggie
Oh! I love that name. It's so sweet!
If my guinea Pumpkin wants you to pet him or show any affection, he would run to your hand and lick it or get under it and headbutt it
Ur vids are actually very helpful bc I'm wanting to get a Guinea pig after my hamster

I have a piggy named Lulu. She needs to settle in but, at the pet shop they let me hold her and she loved being held
My first guinea pig (R.I.P) was sooo sociable with people around, he even follows me in the backyard 😊 but my new one is so shy... after 3 months with me he still so shy and nervous 🙁

Where do you get your pea flakes?

Most likely Amazon
She makes them :)
Alicia Pena in the pet store in the place where she lives in. (Germany)
I saw pea flakes on Etsy, they’re packaged really nicely. ☺️
I tamed my guinea pigs in 4 days
Now they lick my fingers and put their hand on my fingers when I get my fingers close to them .
Great and very helpful video, as always 🙂
thank you :)
I miss my pigs 😢 🥺😞 I love your vids tho

I feel horrible. I've been treating them horribly! They're cage is on the 2nd floor so I have to let them go downstairs and I usually just pick them up. Sorry Nina and Pinta, I didn't know!
