I had to click on this to see who would have the audacity to body-shame guinea pigs. Their rotund, butternut-squash shape is the IDEAL body type! However I did find this to be an informative video :)

Aw! The mini microphone interview was too cute! 😊

Pedro is such looker, handsome boy and a bit of a card too.

I used to have a Guinea pig named Pedro! He had an extra toe on his back right foot. At first I thought it was very weird but I later realised that it’s not to unusual for piggies!

Lol, I got one of my guinea pigs and noticed her eye had that lil droopy bit, I was slightly concerned but did some research and she has a fatty eye. Its adorable.

So informative and useful for caring for my 2 girls Minnie and Blossom, thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video and the other ones you do. I’ve learned a few things from this video and I really enjoy your other ones. I especially enjoy the comments from your piggies.

I was worried about behind their ears 😆 happy they are dine

My guinea pig is thriving and I watched u every night to know EVEETHING and I couldn’t of do it with our u x

Great video! Cataracts are also a common problem (cloudy eye) for older piggies. Mine cheered up after I changed her environment.

Hi Sarah!! Love your videos, very informative ...Im a big fan of your piggies ,Pedro is very funny .

My guinea pig has red eyes i think its adorable but i love all of your piggies

You seem like a vet!Sarah you are wonderful

Hi Sarah! We just brought home our first Guinea pig and are already planning to get his buddy. We love your channel and have learned so much. Thank you 😊

My guinea pig has heterocromia which means she has one bright blue eye and a black eye!

Hi! You helped me tame my guinea pigs and to that I say thank you! (My guinea pigs names are Luna and Roxy)

Great video!!!!! Sperm rods can also be terrifying for boar owners. I have a guy who needs his sac to be emptied every day, he doesn't mind and licks my hand as I'm removing the treasure 😂 love your informative vids as always ❤️

Roxy @2:48 - I just always want to kiss a piggy in that adorable neck area (and tummy!) - her mouth is so cute looking for food! One other reason I have had for baldness is during pregnancy (sometimes). The vet said make sure they get the proper nutrition - maybe a bit of kale to replenish what they are losing in vitamins during pregnancy. One other reason - a naughty piggy eating another piggy's hair! I had one piggy mama that ate her daughter's hair. We had to separate them. Her hair grew back afterward, thankfully. Just needed a little TLC after that! We never figured out why her mama did this. She didn't do it to any other piggy! As for eyes, Ruby eyes rock (Scotty did a song for this! hehe). I guess it is like some people about black dogs. People just shy away from certain animals for wacky reasons.

I crack up at your CAPTIONS!

Excellent overview of normal vs abnormal physical characteristics!

My little piggy is a bit aggressive but that's what makes him special :)

One of my piggies has dark blue eyes! It's really cute

omg my guinea pig mochi has that white eyelid thing this helps 😊

Fabulously informative and reassuring, me and my 4 boars LOVE everything on 'Squeak Dreams' 😍😍😍😍

Tiny microphone for interviewing guinea pigs!! :)

Thanks Sarah. I didn’t know about the bald patch on the side of a piggy’s front feet-will check it out tomorrow. That was interesting as to why they have bald ear patches too! x

I had a guinea pig named nugget, and he was so kind, sweet, smart, silly, generous, and happy. Every time I went into the room he would smile and weak at me, and then I would pet him and he would purr. He kept his cage clean, he even could play some board games. But then sadly he got bumble foot, I tried to help him as much as I could, but then it got to the point were he didn’t even want to eat. We fed him crushed up fruit and used a tool to feed it to him. One night when I went into his room... And he never woke up 😖

I love your videos they're so interesting when I'm old I'm going to get some guinea pigs

Informative video as always, thanks so much ☺️

So true!!❤️❤️💗🦋

Hello!!! Thank you so much for this video! It helped me out a lot! 😊

People compare them to potatoes, but their bodies are actually closer to pears 🍐

This is such a great video! So interesting and informative 👍 thank you!

You are quite funny while being informative! Thank you!

Hi ur videos are sooooo useful Sarah!

Thanks. You're doing a great job.

I'm getting guinea pigs on Sunday. Watched so many videos so much help, also wondering what country do you live in?

This is a great video!

Love your makeup and hair! Thanks so much for the Info on extra toes and foot balm. I needed that.

You are a joy.

Such funny lol captions !

I love those pink eyed piggies. 💖💖 very informative video. ❤️

I always look forward to your videos. They are so informative and your piggies are the cutest. I have 7 and have learned a lot from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge.

hi Sarah! love ur videos. Pedro is so cute!!

Love your pigs

Very informative, I would like to add something that might also help others,I noticed one of my piggies had a cataract starting so I took her to the exotic vet,turns out she has diabetes, very treatable in guinea pigs,so she is on a medication called glipizide twice a day and no fruits or sugary veg and no kibble or nuggets because she needs to keep her weight down .So lots of hay, she is now on reduced medication and soon might be able to come off it altogether. Hope this info also helps .love the videos 🥰

oh my goodness the mini mic haha As always a great video

loved this vid 😆Roxy forgot🤣❤🧡💛💚💙💜💕

So many interesting nuggets of interesting and useful info … take home message - need to ensure I find a brilliant piggie vet before adopting! So cute to see them all looking happy and beautiful x

I had my first guinea pig an her name was rozie i love her so much but sche died and i still dont know how and i still miss her but im gonna get a new piggy and im gonna name het teddy and im so happy your account is here so nog i know much more about guinea pigs then before so thans you so much i love you and your account so much an sorry if my whriting is wrong i come from the netherlands so thans for al the help with my New piggy.

Sarah, you have something American chick's don't have.... CLASS! Well done.

Hi Sarah！Thanks for the information，really helpful！I got a twin recently and wonder do you have recommended pet insurance？Thanks！

The learning curve that we have had on our first 2 rescue female guinea's has been insane. These are not a big hamster and I think a lot of people throw rodents into the same category. One of your videos about bloat saved Pepper's life. Thank you. Did not know what we where signing up for but they are ours. Got this 💪 Piggie owners for life.

I would always rub my guinea pigs right behind their ears at those bald patches and they would like it.

All my Abby's get spurs and dry hard skin. The gorgeous guineas foot cream is wonderful. Since I started to use it on a regular basis my piggies feet are a lot better and they seem to enjoy the foot massages. Worth having it shipped across the pond. Ginger, one of my senior abby's does have what looks like fatty eye on one side. It gets red and inflamed, so I am currently treating it with an ointment from the vets. I really don't think a surgical option at her age is wise and the ointment does sooth it. As for that white milky eye secretion, she sometimes produces a large amount and it looks like milk tears. Is this ok as long as it's not too frequent?

(Ps.ur piggies are very cute 🥰)

I used to have a teddy guinea pig that always had runny eyes

My piggies have white curly old man hair on their feets 😂 they’re teddy Rex mixes so they feel like panscourers and some of their hair is curly

I want a guinea pig this video helped thanks( don't know if I'm getting one my parents said well see lol)

Love the video per usual! Lol ☺️ I noticed your necklace, are you vegan?

How can ANYONE think Guinea pigs look evil?

I'm not sure if this is where this comment belongs but here goes: I adopted a disabled guinea pig, she has a head tilt that is genetic. She's been to the vet and stuff, but I'm looking for more information on it and how to help her and what to be prepared for. She eats fine, runs like nothings wrong, and doesn't seem to have an issue getting around. Articles and advice would be helpful!

Sarah my piggies have very dry ears inside. What can i do to help them. They are Teddies. Love your content so much. Kisses from Poland😘

I'm keeping an eye on Amaya's back legs as they look quite pink. The outside cage has a metal bottom. The only reason is because my sister told me to as piggies dig. They are spending more time inside now that it's getting cooler and they have a huge C&C cage. They no longer fit in my palm 🤔. Their back legs now dangle. So cute when they are palm size.

💖

I saw him popcorn!

Thank you for the video. One of my guineas has what looks like a little skin tag at the side of her mouth, should I be concerned? It's not red or sore looking, she eats fine. Tho I think she does have ovarian cysts, but for my others who have had that the vet said to just leave them be, would you recommend that too, or giving pain killer/anti inflam like metacam?

🤗🤗🤗🤗

my gunni pig died to a crusty ie we dnot no tho casu we have just had go them but now we no if we see we go to vet but he was very young he was 4 wecks tho 😪

Fatty eye or pie eye is common amongst older guinea pigs. But it can occur in younger piggies, the cause is malnutrition or inbreed. I adopted a piggy wtih inbreed fatty eye. Nobody wanted him due to his eye condition, but he was the most loving boy I ever had. Also older piggies can get a little white spot in the middle of the eye. It is a warning for cataract. But here too it can be seen in young piggies. I have a young piggy with a white spot in the middle of both eyes. It is congenital cataract.Congenital cararact can also occur in humans (babies) and they will do a surgery to help the problem. But piggiy eyes are to small to operate. So I know my piggy will go blind in time. Thanks again for this informative video

I see Lyra, I hit like

My cage is wire bottom but it has a mat over the wire and lots of blankets is that ok

I have a girl who has an eye that shines blue in the sun but it's actually brown,it makes her look like she's got one blue and one brown eye. I also have another girl who has an extra toe on her back foot

When I first got one of my piggy, she was oozing orange stuff from her mouth... I thought it was normal so I left her and when I changed her petshop food to the food I used, it cleared up🤔 anyone heard of this???!!!

Hi Sarah just wondering do u recommend I get a 2x3 c&c cage for 2 piggies I don't have room in my bedroom for a 2x4

What about if your older piggie has cataracts

What is a good hay feeder?

When I first got my one Guinea pig she had greasy fur . I gave her a bath when I got home and after 3 years of having her, she hasn't had that problem again. I still wonder though what the grease was? 🤔

Hi Sarah! We love you & the piggies! We always watch your vids! Right now we have some issues going on with a couple piggies in diff enclosures ...Can you pls tell me what could be going on if female piggy- not a year old til May, sounds like a LRI and we went from sulfa to doxy antibiotics.... On doxy she seemed to have gotten over it.... However, just 2 days later all the noises are back and shes heavy breathing again! We were in the middle of getting antibiotics replaced during the days she was well, and when she sounded bad again- we had just gotten the rx again... But hadnt given it to her yet. So this is 2nd round of doxy- which i saw is rarely perscribed in the UK.... I trust care a lot more in places like the UK as the US mostly only cares about $ .....I know your not a vet- but all the vets around us pretend to know and do not! I cant stand her going thru this! Shes american short hair piggy named Maple.... Shes still running to the veg bowl, pellet bowl, and to fresh hay.... I am so confused on whats going on with her and i need advice, im scared for her when shes really bad like that! She nvr had other symptoms except maybe sneezing - which i cant 100% verify it was her, as shes in a trio - and i hv others as well... No eye stuff, no snotty nose...she is up & down in wt by tenths of oz wise, sometimes a few.... Her eyes look alittle sunk in... As if shes dehydrated. I added a water bowl, i give her oxbow critical care & echinacea, child life viatmin c, benebac, her antibiotics, and the day before yest i also gave her little remedies gas drops. Shes in a 6x2 c&c cage (& 2x2 loft) with her original bond mate Koya (Sequoia) who is another American short, and an abby named Willow but who is lovingly called Baby Pig .... They are the trio of trees 😂.... Anyway no one else is sick in the enclosure.... They have a hay box that i put yesterday's news bedding in the bottom of and had changed it to something similar. I also had given different hay... I have since changed the hay & bedding back wondering if the issue could be dust from either or both, & causing either asthma or allergies?! Changing bi seemed to help possibly...it also seems like deep clean, full cage change over might possibly help as both times she seemed better were cage change days! i cant gurantee it wasnt meds or some other factor that just coincided tho! i use small broom g dust pan and clean them daily 1 or 2x per day depending on whats needed.They are on fleece, and I change the fleece liner 1x per wk.Pls pls any info would greatly help idk wether to call the vets and try for a diff antibiotic again.... Or which 1 would be best, and sadly i need to kno to tell the vets bc they also do not know! I cant see her go thru this and not even know if im treating her properly, or if im totally missing the mark n just putting her thru things for nothing. Right now she appears to be doing great i cant hear all the noise and i cant see her breathing hard.... But like i said it has come & gone a couple times! Last wk i thought she was doing better... By the evening she was bad again. Another thing i have also tried is running a hot shower and sitting with her in the bathrm, while it ran to open her lungs up a couple diff times. We are desperate! Pls any info would help! This has been going on around a month now gv or take a few days in either direction! She runs aroynd like hersrlf and chows down like herself except for on 2 or 3 seperate occasions on diff days where she was at the worst.... Other than that thru this whole time she has still been very much Maple-y lol...i just want her better and im losing my mind here!

Humans do have the free spots behind our ears as well. :) seems to be a memmal thing.

what do u do whith ur pigs in the winture?

Hey, I'm the one who's been talking with you a bit on instagram with some questions, mine has a bald spot that looks somewhat scabbed over, as if he had a scratch that has been there since I adopted him, should I get it checked out? (My name is Griffin. :))

Hey Sarah love your videos 🙂 I messaged on instagram I have some questions cause I got a guinea and yes I am very new to this and I need a lil help....

My new piggy has ah uh, tini tiny tail ❤️ it was so weird when I first felt a pointy thing on her but. But it’s right where the tail could be. Also it’s under the skin so I would have no clue what else it could be!

I haven't seen an owner who would be such expert as you are, thank you so much for all your informative videos, I prefer your channel for good! 😇🙏❤️

I have 6 wk old pet store small business said I can Dremel the nails. I've done all my pets nails and grooming so experienced at that was a bather at a store just to reassure anyone. So what age can I do it. In pups it's anytime

Is there anyway to distinguish the difference between the "washing discharge" & discharge from an eye infection?

One of my guinea pigs EYE (not eyeS) looks like the eye is bulging out causing the surrounding area to fit out and you can see the red lines in the eye socket of the guinea pig. Should I be worried?

Can I use 🥥 oil on their feet as a rub after nail trimming xx

Hello! I am sorry for asking but because of you I want to adopt my own Guinea pig, I’ve done my research and there’s just one thing I can’t seem to look up. It’s “is it ok to have a sound machine on in your Guinea pig’s room?” See I live in a very tiny house and my brother can have a reputation of… annoying-the animals. So I just wanna know if it’s ok. I just want to keep my baby piggies in my bedroom safe from my brother. If you know the answer please reply. xxx Love from Durham Nc

My name is Pedro
