So true. My piggies are fine with loud noises like the vacuum without a problem. But if I walk in the room suddenly, without saying a word, they will scramble. So, I start talking to them as I'm approaching the room and then they start talking back and are happy when I walk in 😊

I do clicking sounds with tounge while fixing things in the cage when not taking them out then they relax. Or while 'just' cuddeling with them. Well. Them...

Me and the piggies live on the upper floor of our house and the staircase to the bottom floor is right outside of our room, so they start talking right when I take the first step. What makes it even cooler is that they never do that with any of my other family members , and I don't even have to talk to them to let them know it me, cause they can already tell by the sounds of the stairs and my footsteps ❤️

Thank you so much for talking about having other pets around the piggies. I always cringe when I see pictures of cats sitting on top of guinea pig cages. I know the owners think it's cute but I always feel that it must be so stressful for the pigs. This was such an informative video and as usual very much appreciated.

On having them outside: the additional reason to have them in a pen or other enclosure is that if they're startled, they'll run *away* from you. They're "familiaphobes," which means they scatter when scared or startled, so the predator doesn't get the whole family. I made the mistake of assuming mine would run towards me as a familiar, safe presence. Wrong! And thus many a merry chase was had....

My old guinea pig Jasper was not scared of anything. In fact, I remember one time a vacuuming around his cage he ran right up to it and started rumble, strutting and challenging the vacuum cleaner to a fight. It was hilarious. Even after I turned it off he was still growling at it, like, as if the vacuum cleaner owned him money. He wasn’t doing it out of self-defense. He was legit, trying to square up with it.

I recently took in two female piggies. (Who had been poorly taken care of by previous owners, getting squeezed and such) 😭) And I’ve never had piggies but, we had some that we took care of at school. So I’ve been doing my research on them and have come across a few channels and yours is by far one of my favorites! So educational. And very helpful! From the noises they make, to their body language, cage ideas. And just so much more! They are slowly coming around thanks to getting some of your help in knowing when they are “scared sh.tless” to say the least 😓 and when they are happy and content 🤗 i know with time my piggies will be as open and happy as yours are and for that I cannot wait 😍🤗🙏🏼❤️

thank you for this video, really helpful. I was amazed to find out our guineas really enjoy the cats company. I mean they are usually in their cage minding their own business and in comes the cat starring at them on the outside of their cage, and they go up to the cage closer to the cat and they sorta smell him around and he smells them back. Even when i pick em up and cat comes near they reach out to him almost touching noses and they do not withdraw in fear. They sorta have this mutual friendship, they are more scarred of humans but they're fine with the cat lol!

They were okay with ac or fan noise and were used to my music or tv shows and talking. I used to leave the tv on (I think Hexy really liked the gavel sound on Law & Order) to a show or ESPN or I would leave music on for them. If it were now, they would get used to Pink Floyd or the Eagles for sure! hehe:

Due to a predator pet, an alligator, I got my two lady piggies, which turned into 9 piggies all together. I currently have 5 girls and one boy (he can see them but can't touch!). I have 4 cats and 1 dog. The doggo wants to clean the piggies like he cleans the kitties, but is denied, but the piggies love to touch noses with him. 3 out of the 4 kitties could care less about the piggies, but kitten who is the same age as the younger piggies wanted to "play" with piggies. I have two large cages attached for the girls one is covered one not. Kitten jumps in and decides to "play" I'm trying to get untangled from a fish tank cleaning, when I got to the cages my sassy girls were teaching kitten piggie manners. So now he jumps in the cage if people he doesn't know come near his piggies. He occasionally sleeps in the open cage with the girls sleeping and eating around him. So he's considered piggie no. 7.

We get really loud severe storms here and the boys just rumblestrut at the first few bangs, then ignore it. Pretty sure they missed the memo on predators too, they confidently go up to the wire to touch noses with the cats (fully enclosed cage, cats cant get in without opposable thumbs), and if the cats jump up beside me during lap time the piggies will always try to greet them. The cats arent so sure about them when the piggies aren't caged though and usually bolt!😆 The only teeth chattering I've ever seen from our guys is towards me if I dare come near the cage and they can't smell veggies. 😋

Weirdly, I had one guinea pig that wasn't afraid of the cat. He was a smallish kitten when we got him, and she was an older pig. One day he stuck his paw through the bars, and she nipped him. He never bothered them after that, though he was confused for a bit. (Like, hey, that's not how it's supposed to work!)

Number 2 In the Summertime my guinea pigs spend a lot of time in the garden. The first time they get out after the cold season I put some of their indoor equipment on the grass like houses or (used) blankets. It has the smell of their home territory and are small islands of their save hide outs. When they enter a new wide area they need sth they know and means safety for them. After a while they venture out and explore the new area... an almost endless field of delicious gras (yummy) and wooden hide outs (made for outdoor) P.S. Your advices are always helpful, Scotty

Predator pets: lots of people will say "I know my cats would never hurt my piggies," or hamster, or rats, or gerbils, mice, chinchillas, etc. I used to be one of those people. I lived with cats, dogs, and small animals for years because my sister had all of them. None of her cats paid any attention to her small animals. Only one of her dogs displayed any interest. We were cautious of her and never let her get close enough to snatch up one of them. Then I moved and my roommates had 3 cats. I had one cat. I had a couple of hamsters and again, never feared for their safety at all. None of the cats were interested. Then I got into a relationship and he and I moved in together. My older cat had passed away by then. We got a couple of guinea pigs and later a few hamsters of different types. Then my niece found two young kittens, and she and her mom had close to ten cats at the time. I decided to adopt the two kittens, bringing them home when they were about six months old. Within days, tragedy struck. One of our hamster cages had a door that didn't latch well. We went out for a while and found our hamster dead on the kitchen floor upon our return. He had pushed open his cage door and gone exploring, which he had done a few times before. The difference was that there were now two cats in the house. It still breaks my heart to think of what he must have gone through before he died. He was not bloody or chewed up. They just "played" with him until he stopped moving. My poor baby. I'm so sorry! We decided to replace all of our cages at that point, buying new ones with two safety mechanisms to keep the door shut. We felt like we had done our best to protect our remaining little ones. But, when we let these cats into the bedroom where the small animals are, they were not like any previous cats I'd been around. They were hyper-focused on the piggies and hamsters, and rats at that time too. They would not stop jumping on top of the cages or stalking around the sides. We decided we would watch then when we let them in the room, never leave them alone with the cats in there, and not let the cats in when we were asleep. It didn't take very long before we realized that was a mistake. One of the cats came in the room, and we had a sweet, friendly dwarf hamster. He heard me and came up on his ledge to say hello and the cat started patting the side of the cage. As I yelled at the cat and started to get up to put him put of the room, his claw hit my little hamster in the eye. My little baby was dead ten minutes later. I wanted to kill myself because I had been right there and wasn't fast enough to prevent it. The cats haven't hurt any more of them, but we are hyper-vigilant to the point of paranoia. Even at now 3 years old these cats relentlessly stalk and want to harass the piggies and hamsters. The rats passed a while back. My point in telling you this is that you may have cats or dogs who you think won't hurt your little ones, but you never know. Some cats or dogs may be indifferent to them, but others like my current ones are ridiculous in their pursuit of what they consider their prey. I will not let my cats hurt or kill another hamster or a piggie. But I've learned my lesson. NEVER EVER trust a cat or a dog with a small animal.

Thank you for the information about the rumblestrutting. I have a 10 month old guinea pig (named April) and a 8 month old guinea pig (named Apple). I don't know if it's because the fact that Apple is in her teenage months or if she is in heat but she will rumblestrutt and chase April for 2-3 days out of each month. April is very patient and usually just puts up with her but they have never drawn blood. Occasionally April will give her a little butt punch just to get her to back off. They will sleep 6 inches away from each other and if one lets out with a little cry they immediately go check on each other. So this lets me know that they are ok with each other and just to make sure that things don't escalate to an actual fight or blood being drawn. They are in the same room with me so I constantly look out for any aggression. I have them in the Midwest pen for guinea pigs with 2 of the log hideys and 2 water bottles. I have 2 of the Space Homes from the Guinea pig rescue as well. They stopped using them this summer and it gets very hot here (even with air conditioning) so I'm thinking the enclosed house was simply too warm for them. They used them over the winter so when it starts cooling off we are going to put one back and see if they start using it again. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks Scott!

My piggy (Ms. Piggy, who unfortunately passed away last year) was absolutely terrible to other guinea pigs. She was the last piggy who hadn't been adopted from the humane society so we were looking elsewhere to find her a friend but she kept trying to attack all of the other pigs we tried to introduce her to but she was absolutely fine by herself. Weirdly enough she was completely fine with our dogs and they only interacted when she was kept inside her cage or on someone's lap but she didn't mind them at all. She was a weird little piggy but she was definitely very happy with her situation although she was always surrounded by kids.

Hi! I just wanted to say something about numbers 5. I have a dog. He’s a boxer. Love him. I have 4 guinea pigs all female. :) my Guinea pigs adore Zeus. He adores them. They have learned from him. One of them. Izuki; she is a silly girl. She loves it when he’s in the room. Reason being she think he is her and her siblings dad. So everytime He is in the room she shoots her head up and starts to popcorn then try’s to play with them. 😂 Zeus thinks they are tiny puppies that can’t be hurt. So he would just lay next to their cage and Izuki tries to climb out of her cage to get to him. She once when Zeus was in the room laying down asleep. I once was holding her and Zeus came up to me. She licked his nose and it scared him. 😂 he then ran away from her. Next is Smash (the runt) she hates it when I try to give her a bath or anyone that tries for that matter. But went Zeus is in the bathroom with me with smash she doesn’t put up a fight; after words she would run to him and hide behind his legs and angrily squeak at me. Fenna she got her sassiness from watching my Dog sass at my Dad. 😂

I just got a bonded pair of male piggies, so these videos are amazing!! I never knew all of this!! Are there any tips you can give for two rescued adult guinea pigs? They're very skiddish still until I hold them, eat mainly their hay and not the food I bought, and sometimes they make noises that confuse me. I've got an octagon shaped cage that's open on top, but I've rigged it so that there's a blanket on top as a lid to let them feel safer running around, I've also added another cage to give them a viewing room if they feel brave enough to peek around the room at us. I have a harness for each as well,I don't know if you can use that on piggies, but I want to take them outside at some point. They've been producing a lot of beans too, I don't know if it's regular though because they eatso much.. they've regulated to my routine a bit too. when I add treats or hay, I pull the blanket back and they run to their hay bowl waiting for me. Also, my piggie oryo like.. tried to bite me a few times. Is there a reason why he would do that out of nowhere? Snickerz licks me and my bf, does that mean he likes us? Lastly, what toys and such should I get them to entertain them when I'm not around? And is there a way to get them to like me more? Carrots and broccoli are their favorite snacks so far ^^ thank you so much for your help so far, and if this gets answered, thank you again! I admire you and all that you do!

Oddly my new guinea pig boy (Yes hes single for now, was a surprise "Gift" although I really don't have space if I get another and they have to be separated. Not quite sure what to do about that yet.) seems to enjoy the company of my small dog and vice versa. They meet at the cage and play back and forth. At the start I thought Squeaky the guinea pig was running away but the more I watched I realized he was doing laps around the cage then meeting back up with the dog at the door, squeaking and running and popcorning! He was "Gifted" to us before Easter this year and since then its been amusing to watch them. They are like a pair of long lost buddies who just wanna romp around with each other. The dog gets more freaked out than the guinea pig. :')

@The pigeon Weirdo I know Im sorry I did have 2 piggies but long story about that..... So I thought my guinea pig had parasites so I gave him that oral horse medicene that was. Recommend in los Angles piggie rescue and I gave my piggie to much l so I brought him to the exotic emergency room and just to get it in it cost 130 not including medicene. This was the 3rd or 4th week that I had my guinea pig sandy and max. So i wanted to treat the medicene because it was cheaper and I'm only 16 so I dont have that kind of money to take him to the vet so i thought i gave him a little bit but the next day he was not well so i told my mom we need to take him to the vet. I knew I did not have the money to take him but my mom she paid $160 and they wanted to keep him at the hospital over night but that would cost me about $700. So I told her to just pay the doctor for the visit and the fluided that he got because i knew I would never pay her back.(So when I turn 16 I got $125 and i really wanted a guinea pig so my mom told me you are responsible and buying everything the guinea pig need. So i went to the petsmart and my cousin gave me money to support and she said you can buy two. So i did. I bought 2 male baby guinea pigs.) So back to the story my mom said that I was unreasonable to do. She said if i was responsible than you wouldn't of pick the $130 instead of him getting the treatment he need which was going to cost my mom $700 and there was no way i could pay her back. So that why I went with the option to pay for the visit and fluided that they gave him. So my mom said she giving my healthy guinea pig away and your keeping the sick one . she said you should of listen to me when we saw that thing underneath his eye instead you bought that medicene. I was so sad when she said that.my heart was really torn because I really wanted to keep him. I thought my other guinea pig wasent going to make it because I overdose him 100 times more than the dose he was suppose to have and the doctor sai he is half blind and some part of his nucor logical brain is damage. I felt really bad like really really bad I was crying and kept telling my guinea im so sorry over and over . and praying to god to make him better. All i wanted to do is to help and give him Medicene to kill that parasite under his eyes. Then the doctor said he didn't even have parasites it was a ringworm. Thats when I had all the guilt becasue it was my fault that my piggie sandy is sick and if he died I just don't know what I will do. I just always had that heart for animals. Always wanted to keep them safe and then this happen to my piggie because of me Thankfully my sick guinea is now back to healthy. He is not blind and he just back to his normal self.I thought he was going to pass away but god made him better. So that how I end up having one guinea pig now. Now I make sure I know everything about piggies so I want ever have that experience again. And this wasent to long ago. This happen in june of 2020. So I have learn a big lesson. But he was my first guinea pig and still is. Although I still wish my mom didnt give max away because I know these are social aninals and now sandy is by himself. He still scared of me but with this video it defintely help. This channel has truly save me and I hope he knows this. I know when you read this your going think im a bad person but please know that I love animals and will never hurt them on purpose.(sandy is know letting me pet him and he eating freah veggie out of my hand so when i put my hand in the cage he dont feel as threaten. Also I hope you understand the story not sure if this will even makes sense to you but hopfully you get the point) also do you have any tips to make my piggie sandy happy or more entertain because he by himself. I would get another one but i dont think my mom would let me .i am just going to show my mom that I can do this an show that I really do care abut my piggie sandy and he deserve a buddy to play with. His cage is really big. Its a c&c cage and i made pretty big so i think another could fit plus I only have to buy more hay and pellets. My mom says why you got him in that big cage. He was find that store bought cage. She dont really understand but thats okay. Hopefully I could talk my way to maybe get another piggie so sandy can have a friend. Remember I did not mean to harm sandy but all that matters is he is still here healthy as can be. And wanting to eat all veggie but he can't. Lol
