She used to pee in her hidey, but since I kept using fleece and I have found that she loves to stay clean and she does't do that anymore.

I have been following your channel since before. I got guinea pigs and have taken your advice. I am still learning even after owning them for about a year, but my cage has gotten to the point where I only have to do a full cage clean about every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on how consistent I am with adding extra lighters and bathmats, it is not only save me money but time as I have a disability and deep cleaning is very hard on me. Thank you for all the education you have given us.❤

You are BRILLIANT!!! I just took the hay racks out of the cage last night and put a huge hay pile in their “kitchen”. Basically that one section of the cage is separate from the rest of the cage with a little doorway for them to go through.

Thank you so much this is really helpful. I don’t often have time to clean my piggies cage very often every day so potty training would definitely be helpful. I have changed from sawdust to fleece which has helped so much and it means less throwing away and less waste. If anyone has taken the time to read this does any one have some tips to stop piggies chewing EVERYTHING! I know that dogs have a no chew spray but I don’t know if there is any for pigs? So does anyone have any tips? Thank you so much. ❤️

Having a big collection of piddle pads has been a game changer for me. I rotate them during daily spot cleaning and they double up as a comfy sleeping pad for my girls too, much easier to fill up a laundry bag with them and do the occasional load between a full cage clean. My girls are odd though, they use their hay tray but their favourite place to do their business is their loft! We get huge amounts of peeps and poops up there and it gets it's own deep clean every few days. The downstairs main cage stays much cleaner, I just find it so odd their favourite toileting spot is somewhere that seems more exposed 😂 Really though, thank you for the tips and education. I've had piggies for 11 years but still have plenty of learn, and have picked up some invaluable lessons from you! ( Hay tray included, what a revelation in keeping things tidy that was!)

I spot clean twice a day and switch out the smaller pads every couple of days - hard work but love every minute

Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but the reason your pigs might be attracted to behind the tv stand/near the radiator, is the electrical wires. Rodents like pigs hear a humming sound from electrical wires and that draws them to nibble on them, which can obviously be very dangerous. So great that you're keeping them away from those areas. Thanks for all the great advice!

Hi Sarah, I want to start off by saying I love your channel! I have been fostering 2 male guinea pigs due to their owner experiencing a medical emergency with a brain hemorrhage. He is still in recovery and we have now decided to fully adopt the piggies as he feels he can't take care of them anymore. I have purchased a new C&C cage and want to give them a whole new setup as their cage before was way too small and not ideal for piggies. I love your setup and want to do the litter tray as well. How often do you top the hay? How often do you do a full clean out of litter tray? I have never owned guinea pigs before, so I am learning as I go. Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated! I have fallen in love with these two piggies and want to give them the best life possible. Thank you so much! You have truly helped me learn all about piggies the last month! Diana

I am a proud daddy of Lil Amanda a young short-haired piggy. Someone abandoned her and another one but the second one died in our rose bushes, unfortunately. Animal Control came to retrieve the remains. I was watering and the lil piggy came running out of the flower bush. It surprised both of us. Me wondering what the heck a piggy was even doing in my yard and the piggy because I gave her an unsolicited shower. I told her I was sorry. I made up by giving her a salad, hay, water, and a piece of apple. After a week we decided to bring her inside. I watched your videos and made Lil Amanda a nice area to live in. I made her a temporary Chateau with curtains and chopsticks for the curtain rod. I am making her a more durable Castle out of a plastic storage bin I know she will like. We own a rabbit name Lady Cottontail with almost the same story. (We won't be mixing them together) She hopped into our lives 09-07-22 we found her under my car and now we have a new member of the family. Lil Amanda. (What a coincidence?)

A bit off-topic. We got 2 young male guinea pigs a week 1/2 ago. At first, the black one kept mounting the brown one, the dominance game. But once we had them in the house, it was always the black one that ran into their house and the brown one showing us more curiosity as we communicated with them. For the first week, then, the brown one was mounting the black one, suddenly showing that HE was boss. But NOW, as of a few days ago, it's the black one mounting the brown again - now that he's starting to feel braver around us. Do guinea pigs always "take turns" to show who's dominant? Or is this only when they're youngsters?

@scifirocks Жыл бұрын

Timothy hay is mainly grown in north America, everywhere else in the world has to import it which means it's very expensive and only available in small quantities. It's just a species of grass, it isn't particularly better than other grass species it's just so widely available there it's really popular. I live in the UK, so I don't know what is available in Australia. Our hay tends to be either Orchard or Meadow hay, it tends to be a wide mixture of species of grasses and herbs. It's been grown like this here for several centuries so we don't have monoculture hay crops like they do in America.

Good question! But no, multi level cages aren't suitable for guinea pigs, because the minimum floor area (e.g. 10.5 square feet for two pigs) should be on a single flat level. Guinea pigs are not agile, some will not use ramps, and they like to get the 'zoomies' and run laps of a single level large area for exercise. I recommend looking into DIY C&C cages (you can buy the materials and make yourself very easily). Hope this helps!

My Leo was a very tidy pig and always went in one corner, until Spike told him he didn't need to, he could go anywhere and the slave will clean up 😂
