I will never forget when I got my very first piggie and didn't know much about them at the time. Little dude was overjoyed with having his own space and food that he did one of those popcorns where they go full spaz and fall onto their side. I thought my little dude has a mini seizure, but was supremely relieved to find out that he was just happy and couldn't contain it. They truly are amazing pets and the concept of them being "starter pets" is complete bs when I was still learning things with my last ones and had owned them exclusively for about 15 years. And your two here show a lot of the quirks about piggies that are hard to understand unless you own them and did your homework. Which I find that keeping their cage off the floor helps them not be as skittish when you come into the room and still have my 2x4 C&C cage without the grids set up in honor of my piggies over the years and look forward to when I'm able to rescue a bonded pair.

What interesting experiences and observations you have! Regarding placing the cage off the floor - thanks for the advice! The doctor also advised us not to make shelters for them, so that the boys would not hide, but would get used to the open space. But I’m not yet sure that this is right, because sometimes even a person wants privacy

@@FlashandMcQueenguineapigs ALL piggies love hidies and can make them out of cardboard if you have nothing else. They are prey animals after all, so being able to have a safe spot to sleep is crucial and why yours could be skittish when they don't have that. Which trust me when I'm only looking out for the best life for your piggies, where that doctor didn't do basic research into piggies to unlearn a horrible piece of advice. I've had the same igloo since my first piggie and only have gotten a few more. Would be happy to post a link if you need one for reference. :)

Thanks for this video. My daughter brought home a Guinea pig that was about to be surrendered and then moved out leaving behind the pig. I of course fell in love with him. He died on July 25 of this past year. I miss him terribly but can’t get anymore because I am allergic to the hay. They are such special pets.

I’m also allergic to hay, but switching to Orchard Grass Hay has helped alleviate it (I still give them all kinds of Timothy Hay stuff to eat,though- treats,blocks of hay etc.)❤

@@kristiemarsh49 Doesn’t that aggravate your allergies?

@kristiemarsh49 4 ай бұрын

@@donnadrane4977 The Orchard Hay doesn’t bother me like Timothy Hay does. And I make sure to inspect the brand I buy,to get the least amount of dust in the hay. The Timothy Hay cubes don’t bother me at all and I buy them little heart shaped treats with Timothy Hay ,apples, and bananas. I also have an air purifier in the room, so that probably helps also. I tried all types of hay to find the best balance of what they would eat the most, and what bothered my allergies least. They do enjoy all types of hay(they’re piggies after all ❤️), so it’s nice to give them a variety every once in awhile. Mine will start to popcorn sometimes when given a different hay(with herbs or flowers in them❤️) and sorry you lost your piggy friend!❤️

I saw your videos and subscribed almost immediately. I really love to watch, what a good life they have with good food, a lot of space, and with a daddy who takes notice of their habits and different personalities. I always have peaceful girlgroups because I'm afraid of the courage of boygroups. If they begin to hate each other and fight all the time to show dominance, it would break my heart. So, I choose the easier way. Anyway, thank you for your videos!

They are sweet. Used to have piggies until I was 24. After that, cats. I know all their funny sides. Just never put uncastrated males + a female together, the really fight that hard then, they are bleeding. And, yes, sometimes they eat their own poop, they need it for digestion.
