    • I too have a Cleo 😊 And two more girls, Phoebe and Sheba. Sadly my elderly gent Tipsy, had to be put to sleep.😢 I held him as he crossed the Rainbow 🌈. Oh yes we cry, but I have always stayed with my pets large or small, you owe it to them to show you love them, as they loved us unconditionally all their lives 💗 I also have a big space for my piggies. I don't intend reducing it, even though I'm almost on the pavement outside....on the sofa.... watching TV!! lol 😆 My girls have a 3x5 grid and floor time for "play time" and love to zoom. They are going for a nail trim tomorrow, as they're young and still skittish, I want them to have a good experience, without any mishaps!😱. They are coming out of their shell and climb on me for treats, but scream blue murder when picked up, no matter how gentle! 😅 They do calm down, when THEY are ready. They may never be like to be picked up, but kindness and gentleness ALL THE TIME is the key to a piggies heart, (🐹 don't forget the treats!! 🥕🥬)

There cages gets very stinky so Deep clean it about every 2-3 days. When I put them in a laundry basket with a blanket underneath they run from me at first but then they seem to enjoy my pets on there ears.

Also another thing is, do they get scared by dog barking? People walk their dogs by the apartments and the bark SO MUCH! It’s ok if you can answer! :)

    • @@zoe-ci3xv loud noises do startle the piggies. Mine are upstairs and away from my dogs so they don’t hear them. But over time i think they will get used to the loud barking from time to time. It might take a little longer for them to be comfortable because of the shocking loud noises tho. I have taken my pigs outside to play with the kids I babysit(on the grass) and they liked it, but it’s not a necessary need. I’m not the perfect pet parent but that is what I have gathered throughout my pig Journey so far. I hope this helps at least a little bit!😁

    • Actually very often guinea pig stress themselves out a lot....l think we did a mistake by having too.... from time to time we have to split them in different cages and slowly introduce them again, for some time they are good and than again same process. I feel my guinea pig that was alone lived stress free life,was much more comfortable doing stuff, interacting with us and we spent quite a lot time with him, sister would do her homework and guina was sleeping or cuddling in her lap.

  • Amazing video, thank you! I'd like to get 2 guinea pigs, but I travel a lot (1 hour trip with the car, normal road, once a week or once every two weeks to visit family-and then back home, of course). Will these trips be super stressful for the piggie? Would it help if I sit in the rear seats and soothe it on my lap? (By petting and maybe giving them a treat).or should getting them be out of the question?

We live in a cold area but we included warm blankets, beanies and A LOT of fleece. Do you think this will be okay? Also they seem very scared and and worried, I think it’s just because they were separated from their family and maybe just still settling in but I just want to clarify that this is normal. Great video! Can’t wait to be an amazing mum! ❤❤

  • I have 2 guineapigs, both girls. I have alot time for them, they do have hay all the time. And ofcourse vegetables, but not really any dandelion leaves or anything like that because well, there's already LOTS of snow on the ground. Lumi, is a bit bigger pig, compared to her sister Lulu. Lumi loves attention, right now she is sleeping on me. So i don't want to bother her, Lulu loves attention too. Lumi is white, and Lulu has white, black, brown, and dark brown colored fur. But the thing i really need to know is that how often should i bathe my pigs? I know bathing them too often will dry out their skin. So i want to make sure i don't bathe them too much, their fur is short and usually very soft. But it has started to feel a bit rough than usually. They are still young, so could that be because they are getting older? Maybe, but how much do guineapigs usually shed? I love my guineapigs, and i want them to be happy and healthy, so if you have time. Please answer if you can.

  • I just got a guinea pig and he is so sweet but I need a lil bit of help understanding his language. He is a very quiet boy and rarely makes vocal sounds. He sometimes jumps around almost playfully when I try touch him. Does this mean he’s happy? Also my room was cold so I had to turn on the heater. While I wait for it to warm up I put him in a little box with comfy towel under him and above him. He seems to close his eyes often. Also when I touch his ears he closes his eyes and on occasion will yawn. He also sometimes teeth chatters than goes back to looking relaxed. I don’t know if he likes what I’m doing or not. Can someone help me please I only had him for a week.
