I must say that Phoebe is a very determined piggie, and her attacks to get where she wants can’t help but put a smile on my face. I’m sure one day we will see a video of her successfully getting over or under that fleece blanket. The Boss Pig will not be denied.😂❤

I keep my two beautiful boys in a massive DIY pen in my garden. I am currently fighting a battle to get my piggies to stay in my bedroom during winter because my dad isn’t keen on that idea. I love watching your videos and hoping that I can one day keep them inside like you do xx ❤

My Piggies name is sweet pea she loves floor time I have a black lab and a pit mix she's not one bit scared of him she goes right up to him and tries to snuggle which I get a big kick out of it I watched him closely but I know he would not hurt her she loves giving her kisses I live in a one-bedroom apartment so she goes from the kitchen to living room and does her popcorning and running and hiding

Hello 👋. Another great and very funny video 😂. Would you believe I have a Phoebe who's also a very brave, outgoing adventurous lady, and it didn't take long for her to 'come out of her shell' 😂 Her sister Sheba is also not too far behind 😊 then there's Cleo who is the still shy, nervous very skittish girl. They have been with me for four months now and have grown so much 😍. I managed to get a photo of all three in ONE guinea-Dad liner box !🤣 I couldn't believe my eyes, hilarious! 🤣🤣. Mine have floor time each day during cleaning and if I take too long Phoebe and Sheba grab the cubes and give them a real good shake to get back in!! Little Cleo watches from the 'playground' and then follows her sisters 😊. They know it's T-time ! 😂🥬🍽. Love your girls, and their in-put during filming 🤣🤣🐹. Now to search for the cordless cleaner......! Brilliant! I'll keep my faithful Henry as back-up, but this will be a god-send! You're a Star in a jar, Sarah ! ⭐

It was so encouraging to see Roxy and Phoebe cuddling together! I remember from a previous video you had said that they did not always get along, perhaps because they were the same age and constantly trying to determine their rank in the herd. I have 2 sisters guinea pig that I got when they were 3 weeks old. I was afraid that their bond would not be the friendliest bond and had accepted their dominance struggles (but never any fighting or blood). A year later, I can see that they are calming down and can tolerate being physically closer to each other! When did you notice Roxy and Phoebe becoming more warm to each other? I would be interested to see a video from you documenting how guinea pig bonds change over time!

I recently found your channel and it’s been so helpful. I haven’t been the best owner and while my baby is happy & healthy, I want to do more! I need to get a better cage for her, I’m thinking of the C&C at least large one but I need to have some sort of topper because I have cats & a dog. Is there an option to find one with a lid or should I diy the grids to create one?

@kiri6562 Жыл бұрын

Love your videos and all the advice. I was wondering with introducing a new guinea pig into the herd would you wait less time to do first floor time? I’ve got two guinea pigs already and I’m planning on adding a third one as soon as my finances allow. I wouldn’t want to limit the floor time for the original two and definitely wouldn’t want to separate them, so in that circumstance could you introduce floor time earlier?

@SqueakDreams Жыл бұрын

Hadn't thought of that! Yes I wouldn't separate them and if the newbie is a baby he/she will probably be reassured by following the adults around and learning off them. Just be a bit more careful when it comes to setting up the space, make sure baby can't squeeze anywhere and escape (including through the C&C grids if you are using them!).

Hello!! New guinea pig owner here and i have a question about 1 of my babies. Ive had them maybe 2 weeks and one of them (Merle) is starting to nibble pretty hard. I try to put my hand in the cage to let him sniff me to get used to me or offer him food, very gently and i usually start away from him and he'll usually nibble a little and then go about his business but tonight he bit pretty hard and it stunned me... i hope that i havent offended my piggie baby but what would cause him to suddenly bite so hard?

If you think they are losing weight you should take them to a vet for a check up, and also start monitoring it (weigh them once a day around the same time and keep a note of the decline). Weight loss can be an aging thing but usually it is health related so always best to get a vet visit in.
