Bringing you our early morning guinea pig care routine, new for 2021! This covers every part of what I do to look after the piggies in the morning, plus (of course!) some handy tips on guinea pig care and how you can improve your own care routines.
With this routine in the morning, I’ve found it really helps make sure that some of the daily tasks get done, in a way that’s easy to fit around my other morning activities. Things like changing the water, sweeping up the poops and guinea pig snacks don't get forgotten about, which the piggies are chuffed about! If you enjoyed this video please don't forget to subscribe, hit the like button and leave us a comment... How does this compare to your routine? Any yoga fans out there? And dare I ask.... Marmite anyone?! Haha!

Love this routine video! They are just so cute and it is always fun to hear wheeking and I could watch a piggy drink all day (I know, weird! But it is always just so adorable and I love the unique piggy drinking - I had some that would bite the water bottle, some that did the upside down like Phoebe, some that were dainty, all kinds of ways!). I had to get up at around 6 when I was regular working (I am at home too - I see you are experiencing those gray, rainy days like I am right now - ugh! Always makes me want to go back to bed!), the pigs always knew it was time for waking up and they would start their peeping and wheeking and zoomies and running back and forth. They knew they were gonna get hay and pellets and water right away and then veggies in a bit after I showered for work. They would still be wheeking sometimes with food in their mouth. LOL The funniest is they would do the same on the weekend even though I could sleep in. Never got to sleep late!

Hi Sarah, Your routine is very similar to mine in the morning with the piggies! On a non-piggy note, I'm impressed by how much Christmas chocolate you still have left and I also love crumpets for breakfast and I'm with you on the Marmite too-it's great :-) Phoebe was very cute with her drinking and loved the cucumber stealing from the top of the hammock-little monkeys!! Enjoy your Sunday x Jemma

Phoebe is a doll! So PRECIOUS! They're all SO sweet, and that Lyra is a beauty! I finished cleaning my cage about an hour ago, but my spot cleaning takes ALOT longer, the big spot clean is my late evening job, but since I have bedding in about a third of my cage, I scoop out quite a bit, then wash a part of their coroplast tray with solution, and replace it with clean kiln-dried pine, then proceed to replace some of the potty pads and smaller liners. Then pellets, water bottles, and snack. In the morning it's just a basic poop sweep, and some fresh hay, although I sometimes scoop out some dirty bedding areas if need be. It is pretty time consuming, but they're so sweet, especially when my oldest piggy Gracie, who just turned 4, creeps into a tunnel right next to me, and looks lovingly at me while I clean, I think they're worth it!

Absolutely loved this! I was delighted with all the piggy ‘thought bubbles’, I love this in piggy vlogs and you do it brilliantly. Already some great new ideas for feeding hay and using the pads, lots and lots to add to the ideas list for preparation for adopting a herd. I always thought I was a cat (ok Maine coon) and dog (ok, Labrador) person but how come I didn’t notice how wonderful piggies are?! I’m coeliac but I’ve got a great brand of GF crumpets (or pikelets as I know them but I live in Scotland so that’s a whole separate discussion!) and I can’t have proper Marmite now but Tesco’s own brand is safe for coeliacs. So yup, crumpets and Marmite gets a paws up from me! ☺️

I always make sure they have everything clean and topped up before bed so they're fine for a few extra hours in the morning 🙂
