one thing determines a guinea pig's life span much more than genetics or environment. learning about common illnesses in catching them early is the biggest determining Factor on whether or not your guinea pig will live a long healthy life or not.

Ok this morning I went to the dentist. I had my pink ..I love my Guinea Pig t shirt from YOU. Anyway I had a lady in the waiting room looks at my shirt and asked me if I had Guinea pigs. I said yes I have 8. Everyone in the waiting room then looks at me. Next question was were they my kids? I said no they are all mine! I know they wanted to ask why but I got called back before any more questions could be asked. Then when Ingot in the dentist chair my Scotty’s animals T-shirt I had on they want to know more about YOU. Just had to share because of what you said about people looking at you think why would a grown man want Guinea Pigs that is the look I got in the waiting room like why would a grown woman want a Guinea Pigs lol

My first piggie lived to be 9.5. She had fantastic genetics, never got sick until the day she died. I know much more about piggies now and have vastly improved the living conditions of my piggies over the years. But still none have approached that 9.5 year benchmark. Genetics matter. Quality of life, though, can always improve even if the lifespan doesn't change from it. It matters to those piggies! ^_^

Great video! I lost Mya in February at 5 and just lost my Mia last week at 7 1/2. For me it all about quality of life and lots of love. Mia was Mighty Mia until the end. She had a calcified bulla and slowly went blind after 6. I made sure her cage adapted with her and her sisters. She was my first piggy and now she is with her sister Hanna. I still have 7 more wonderful piggies including Mia's herd of Oreo and Ginger. Both ladies are over the 7 1/2 mark. All that matters is they are all loved deeply.

Greetings from Germany! One of my guinea pigs was over 10 years old. I've been a guinea pig mom for over 15 years now 🥰. You really can't commit to a number of how long a guinea pig will live. On average, my piggies live about 6-8 years. According to my veterinarian, it's because of the good nutrition I offer my animals. With lots of good hay and fresh grass😉👌. But it can also simply be genetic 🤷‍♀️. Although I have been keeping these wonderful animals for so long, I am always learning something new about them. 🙋‍♀️💞🐹

When I got Harriet , that was the first question I get asked, sometimes it's in a negative way and others positive as they wish iy was longer as they got to know Harriet. I learned how to best care for her so she can live each day and live a long life. Now that I have Clementime, I am also doing the same for her. When you get a pet, you shouldn't think how long, but think of the pet and care and well being of your beloved pet. I never thought of that when I got both of mine, but was sad, when I realized they may have shorter life spans than other pets. It just made me make sure to have them live the best life possible.

When people ask me about guinea pig lifespans, it usually goes like this: Me: Yeah, Phil, my oldest piggy, got diagnosed with severe arthritis and has to get pain meds twice a day. Them: Wow, how old is he? Me: Almost 8 years old. Them: And how long do guinea pigs live on average? Me: About 5-6 years if they're taken care of well. I also mention that genetics plays a factor, as I've lost a guinea pig at almost 4 years old due to recurring bladder stones (the vet said his bladder was abnormally-shaped and suspected that played a part), and I lost a guinea pig at 3ish years who had inbreeding in his history to a stroke (the vet said after doing a post-mortem exam that no amount of heart meds would have helped with how bad his heart was).

5:07 this section of the video made me want to just rant a little about that particular question. I’ve had people who would take me to Petsmart to go buy pet food for my guinea pigs They would ask that question, what kind of pets do I have; you got hamsters? Rabbits? And I told then I have two guinea pigs. and some people are cool and want to know about them other people ask the main two questions which is how long do they usually live and why do you want “rats” in your house? it pisses me off every single time when someone calls them rats or says that they’ll eat my guinea pigs. Want to see them in a stew or some sort of meal. It’s INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL. What if I showed up to your house and saw your cat or dog and told you “they’ll make some good pot stickers.” Or straight up say “ I’d like to skin em” It’s like if you have any other pet that’s not a cat or dog to these people your pet is irrelevant. I am a 24-year-old woman I have no children. My guinea pigs are my life and they make me happy.

I have found that the reason most people ask me "how long do pigs live" is because they can't believe a person my age would spend so much for an animal "that only lives a year or so." They are genuinely shocked that piggies have a life span equal to a big dog. I tell them the average is 5 years but they can live up to 15 years with proper care.
@2cindy.borror
@2cindy.borror 2 ай бұрын
Usually people that ask me what their life span is start with the fact that they are considering getting a guinea pig. To that I usually start with "you need more than one". We have 5 pigs and our young adult daughter has 2 and they are all related, so the most commonly asked question is why so many, to that I say "it was an accident that happened before we got our 2 young girls". Then they find out more than they wanted to know about our little pig family! So the life span part is generally a side bar.

His Brother lost Sight due Glaucoma on both Sides, fit and happy singing for Food he got his worst Eye removed with Age 7 to prevent Injury or Rupture. He didn't care and ate trough 2 more Summer Gras Seasons. Some pure Breeds or Giants i would put at 4-6 but regular Muds? 6-9.. with Extremes above 10. With proper Diet and Vet Care. One other odd Thing about our 2. They never drank much Water. We where dumb enough to let our Gourmets get used to 'drink' Cucumber instead...💀 expensive Idioty.

I do get asked that but I assume it's because they are interested in maybe having guinea pigs and are worried that maybe they don't live as long as they'd hope. Most people are surprized at the answer and had thought they maybe only lived 3 or 4 years. I think they just think they are big hamsters!

Hey Scotty! I was originally hoping I could contact you but I can never put the right email XD. But you said something at 0:24 something that striked me, I hate to ask if this is more personal, but do you have autism? I'm autistic, and in my case is why I dont connect with humans but with guinea pigs social wise! Its why when everyone else my age is dating I'm still single baby-talking to my piggys :3 I keep seeing a lot of my autism traits in you, and I know its kinda taboo to make comments like this and try to diagnose people, but I'm shooting my shot anyway and asking. Thanks if you read this, love your vids!

The real question they are trying to ask, imo, is "how big of a commitment is that?"

Good point, but the truth should be whether it is a small animal with a short lifespan or a larger animal with a longer life span they all deserve healthcare safety and security and love.

My animals ARE my kids. They may not be my biological kids, but they're still MY KIDS! I only have a cockatiel, but she's my 5 year old baby.
