  • *feed them new veggies randomly?

  • Do you have to introduce new veggies or can you free

  • I dont know why but my guinea pigs will not eat carrots!

  • "I'm not THAT particliar"

  • try green pepper it really good for them.

  • OMG fozzy is sooooooooooo cute!!!!! Buckaroo. Lol. I hve been feeing mine tomatos and they go bonkers for em!

  • I thought avocado was bad for animals. I know they are bad for birds.

  • Looks good :)

  • but they say cucumber is low nutrition and high water is that un healthy for pigs too?

  • @Casey97531 Well, it is not unhealthy for them, and it has a high water content, so it is awesome for hot summer days, like in this video it was June :) So it can be given a couple times a week :)

  • you must have a lot of fun having guinea pigs your sooo lucky i pray to god every night to change my moms mind about getting a guinea pig

  • Thank you so much, this video is so helpful. I just got my first guinea pig couple days ago hes a young male. Yours are beautiful.

  • Thanks piggiepigpigs

    I luv all of your videos I watch them each day and I learn so much

  • Why do you always take out the terrible trio and no Gus and alphie?

  • I'm not looking forward to seeing the eldest die, what do i do then? should i move her dead body immediately or leave in the cage for a few hours so to make sure the others can see it has passed away?

  • mine had been eating bluebells for months before i realised it was poison, but watching them i realised they had worked out to only eat a little of them or they get stomach ache, clever pigs as well as greedy pigs.

  • my 5 pigs all had a good go at my wallpaper, i didnt wanna stop em and they dint stop, ate a load of it off the wall, eventually i replaced it with stiff white paper, they seem to like the noise it makes when they chewing it up. i call them greedy pigs not guinea pigs, lol

  • apples, pears, cucumber, tomato, corn on the cob, honeydew melon, carrot, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli, asparagus, grass, sunflower leaves, banana, seedless green grapes, strawberry leaves, thats what mine like most, they also like a bit of mulli, a bit of bread too, a good one youll not know about is premium wild bird seed with added sunflower hearts, they all like that lot

  • tamato!!!!!! :DDDDD love this!!!! tamato!!!

  • U can't find sutsuma on the list? Hmm well maybe it's bc they're mandarines!!

  • I don't think I have ever heard anyone say cantaluupeee lol. Its pronounced the same way you do in the US too.

  • What is witloof

  • can you please send me all of those information pages with the foods and stuff like copy and paste it on pm or something or if you want i can tell you my email so you can email it to me!??? please!!

  • the little orange thigo you call with an Sasuma or something! you will find listed under "Mandarine"

  • My piggies aren't really interested in strawberries or raspberries either! <3 your videos :)

  • :D Chewy is adorable!!! ( Not as cute as Alfie or Gus! )

  • Please do more videos on lady P! I don't have piggies but I have a hammie! (I use to have 6 piggies! R.I.P babies. :'(!!!!!!)

  • i think ur guinea pigs are angry at you cuz you ate a raspberry and all the fruits and veggies look so good unlike in the us but anyways my guinea pig looks like gus

  • :) My piggie looks exactly like your white abyssinian! :)

  • lol ba-naw-nah! i love British people!

  • haha! British things are packaged funny!

  • Isn't a satsuma or whatever just a Mandarin??

  • Her Guinea Pigz R SOOO CUTE!!!!!

  • Is there any grass that is posinous to guinea pigs?

    I remember that in 1 video you let your pigs come outside and eat some of the grass. (VERY cute, by the way!)

    I was just wondering, because I want to make sure that the grass in my backyard is safe for my guinea pig to much on. (:

    I loved the video by the way, when you said, "We don't want constipated piggies!!" it made me laugh so much I fell off my chair! (Not litterally, but I was tipping over a little!) You have helped me a lot!!

  • SO CUUUUTE AHHHH

  • Are carrots bad?

  • I think that the strawberry is to big for them to bite.. Try it in little slices and make sure it's not sour they may not like it.. :)

  • @iCavy In my country, people can give them bread, anything but meat. okay? Itreat my guinea pig well and i knkow that they need to eat some restricted fruits and veggies. its only a fact. okaiee did i answer your question?

  • Our mature piggie (that we've had since Easter 2011) used to enjoy greens picked from the yard that are safe. We started giving her Spring Mix. Now she snubs her nose at some of the greens she used to enjoy from outside, unless she's outside. Apple, so far, is the only fruit she seems to enjoy.

    BTW, iceburg & romaine isn't even nutriious for human, much less an animal.

  • Comment removed

  • @IcyasIce Well no they can't as some fruits and vegetables are poisonous.... I don't really understand your comment?

  • @Piggiepigpigs Well in my country "cuys" are treated like animals... people say allitle bit of too much love is too much for them... they might diee...and their nature they eat whatever they want... because "cuys" in south america people give them bread, actually whatever. But ione thing i know they dont give is meat, but that is just a fact from my country. I treat my guinea pig well and i follow what they eat and what they cant.

  • @IcyasIce

    how many piggies died @ ur house? anyway, no they cnt eat anything... -.-

  • @evapleska none... noo thats a fact that thats their nature.. lol

  • @IcyasIce

    ok, lets put it this way, if you found poison, and your mom told u not to eat it or you would die, and i said no, no let her, come on!!!! it's her nature.... it's exactly the same, i don't know if you know but poisonous things to guinea pigs, KILLS them .....

  • @IcyasIce

    You can't find foods in the wild that you can find at a food store, therefore in the wild there is not as much of a variety in their habitat. In other words, there is not as many different type of poisonous food in the place they live in the wild than there is in the care of an owner. When you GIVE foods to them, you need to be weary. That's what this whole video is about! Im sure that they have an incstinct in the wild to not eat things, but not here.

  • Hey Piggiepgpigs! I have a question..do you always feed your piggies like that? and p.s., can you please answer my message? thanks(:

  • idk

    

  • On guineapigcages forums they say pea pods are okay but only to feed them a couple times a week, 1-2 pods per pig. Certainly everyone has their own set of feeding rules, so I guess it's nothing to stress too much over =P

    Lovely pigs and video!

  • Great video. But are you sure the list that said cheese and rice isn't for hamsters? I think I also saw Ham written on it too :/ Dairy products and rice etc are big no-nos for guinea pigs (: Also it may of been a good idea to focus a bit on green bell peppers as each guinea pig should get an eight of a green pepper a day. When you mentioned carrots you could of added that they should be fed in moderation only a slice or two per pig every few days.

  • 'these are rasberries-oh god i have to eat that one" you rule :)

  • are you sure? I hope so because when I got them the young lady who was giving me advice on how to look after one said so.

  • Fozzi is ssooo cute!!!!!!!

  • This video was very helpful! Thanks for all of the interesting tips! I was wondering how often I should feed my piggies fruits, I know it says sparingly on the chart, but what does that mean, like every 3 or 4 days or something? Thx

  • mind if i do the same thing but with hamsters?

  • How many veggies and fruits should I give to Remi (my guinea pig) every day? Thanks!

    -littlecritterbuddy

  • Hi I -3 ur vids I have 2 guinea pigs and ur vids help me soo much but y do u never filme if face in the videos?

  • "Don't worry - just stop doing it." Made me chuckle. XD

    I have question about how you should buy the veggies and fruits: bagged? Not bagged? doesn't matter? should we look for organic? and are pesticides a problem? should we be wary of what we buy?

  • @MxV13 Organic is usually best but more expensive as they don't use pesticides. Any other is fine really, just give them all a really good wash :)

  • @Piggiepigpigs are bell peppers safe for piggies?

  • @Piggiepigpigs okay nvm i was watching the video BEFORE i saw the bell pepper part

  • @MxV13 i stopped usin tap water for my consumption &my migraine headaches ceased within same month,i started again so to test & my headaches began again &gettin worse as each day passed,so dont let ya guinea pigs drink tap water,most of it is sewage water treated 2b cleaner,look at the size of guinea pigs,whatever is in tap water which is messin ppl up in many ways is gonna have a bigger effect on such small animals.

    my guinea pigs like to listen to smooth fm and classic fm,

  • Shouldnt u wash the veggies before u feed them to the pigs? I mean its dry and maybe theres some dirt and whatnot but still, the feeling ur eating clean and watery veg kinda reassures u that ur foods not dirty. I feel the same for my piggies. Im not a clean freak i swear!!

  • @PhantasyStardumb Yes I always wash my veggies. I think I talk about it in the video? X

  • Actually people believe oranges are good for guinea pigs because of all the vitamin c in it, but actually the acid in the orange can give piggies blisters on their lips. Plus the acid is sometimes too hard on their system.

  • i've heard bananas are only good in moderation, and that too much can cause diarrhea

  • @Duskstarofsunclan oh yah oops sorry i didn't watch the whole video XD

  • It's so cute that they try to steal away every veggie/fruit from eachother! I laughed so much that I almost cried when your little adorable piggie made that noise. It sounds just like my guinea pig! Thanks for the vid now I feel like I can safely feed my guinea pig fruits/vegetables!

  • I get the same parsley...its Gizmo's favourite!!

  • @pigipigipiges. Sorry if I spelled that wrong but y don't u show ur face?

  • piggiepigpigs if you can,can you make a video about what toys you can give your guinea pig cauze i dont want to give my piggie something it can tear up and choke on so if you can please make a video. and i`ve watched all ur vids and i love them so try to make as much as you can cauze i need all the info that i need so if you can plz do so

  • @bexxiiiibex Glad you liked :~)

  • hey laura this has really helped me and i appreciate all of the help you have ggave to me for being a first tim guinea pig owner and my dad told me that when he gets a house i can get 2 guinea pigs and 1 rabbit so i am so excited ..... ps .. dont listen to anone when they tell you that you videos are to long they are just mad

    i bet i am not the only one out there thinking if it wasnt for your guinea pig videos that are long and detailed we would be clueless guinea pig owner

  • Hey Laura If you dont mind my calling you that j love your videos but could you please please do another cage tour!!!!!!!PLEASE and tell us how the piggies are doing thank you Aly

  • Thanx for the info!!! Try giving ur guinea pigs the tops of the strawberries like when u cut them off and u can eat the fruit and the piggies will eat the leaves on top

  • Nice video! A lot of great info.

    You can also give Piggies dried Cranberries but no more than a few a day.

  • You can also give Piggies dried Cranberries but no more than a few a day.

  • my two guinea pigs are really fussy and hardly eat anything i offer them is this ok or is it not giving them enough veriety?

  • Wow! this helped alot and i dont think your videos are boring i love them i watch all of them i love it when its long cause i get to watch more of it! Your doing great! Im a really big fan! -Guineapigg12

  • Im getting 2 more guinea pigs from a rescue center. Should I get babies or adults ? And should they be related or not? Do you think 2 boys is better?

  • brill video, and very informative loved it when one of them took the veggies out of your knee :)

  • these are rasperies. OH GOD IVE GOT TO EAT ONE:)

  • @Piggiepigpigs :) your awesome like that.;D

  • i love your videos laura i dont care if there long, i watch all off your videos!!!

  • YAAAYY!!!! Thank you so much for doing this video! ^_^ You're so wonderful to us.

    Even though some sights have lists of stuff you can give your piggies, I never really trusted them. I do, however, trust you in the piggie department.

    my piggies thank you too, because they'll be getting a better verity now.

  • I love it when Chewy stole the bean!!!

  • @guineapighelper10 oh my, you should check out my piggies when there's cucumber around. I just give them the whole one to share (I have 5 piggies) and they'll all take turns trying to run off with it, and trying to pull it into their piggloo. So cute. ^_^

  • i also loveeee raspberries! yum

  • @wlgusdl123 You can feed them in moderation. I don't give mine avocados either.

  • I'm getting a guinea pig the same brand as fozzie!!!!

  • maybe the orange is called a mandarin that's what we call it..

    look on the paper thingy it might say mandarin.. :)

  • Don't feed them avocados! They're too high in fat they'll make your piggies obese!

  • @maskedfraulein I don't feed my pigs avocados. They were just on that foods list. I only give them the basics as shown in this video.

  • @Piggiepigpigs I figured you didn't but I felt the need to say that for anyone considering it. But I really liked this video too! It shows how much you spoil your piggies (which I do too) giving them such a lovely variety of food. It's no wonder your guineas are so big and healthy!

  • @maskedfraulein Thanks :) I only give them stuff i'm familiar with - I don't try much of the exotic stuff.

  • that is the biggest broccoli thing i have EVER seen O.o

  • Great video. I love finding reduced vegetables. It makes my day! I once bought 15x2 gem lettuces because it was reduced to 10p. The pigges were very happy with me that day.

  • Guinea pigs should never have dairy or avocado.

  • @Goatmint I don't give mine either.

  • 15:53 - 16:01 they are sooo naughty!

  • hahah my piggies LOVE grapes! I used to feed mine Romain Lettuce, but my parents said it was too expensive ;( I was crushed! I think that I am now inspired to go down stairs (I live near a 'general' store, food, paper, tooth brush etc.) and go on a piggie shopping spree! XD! Love you! Oh and I might have a surprise for you Laura, here is a hint - C&C ;)

  • My guinea pigs don't like cabbage or pears. My sister actually owns them, but I'm the person who does everything for them except buy the stuff.. I wish she'd buy vegetables+fruit for them :(

  • I bought two guinea pigs together, one died a couple weeks ago and one is still living, he's 7 or 8 I believe.. I absolutely cannot get him to lose weight or to be tame with me. -__-

    After 7 years he still runs if I come over to the cage. I handle him when I can and he still is reluctant to become tame... Any tips for that?

  • Hi I love ur vids but y don't you show ur face in videos

  • Hi, I just wanted to let you know, grapes aren't good for guinea pigs. They can give them kidney problems. Love your videos!

  • Please don't give them too many carrots, they are known to cause liver problems. One slice of a large carrot or one baby carrot per pig per week should be good perfect.

    :)

  • @littleworldofanimals

    I've heard that too.

  • great video, i feed my piggys brocolli everyday oops

  • chewie was thinking ooooooo greenbean mine. I love how fozzy jumps when he gets starteld

  • chewie was thinking ooooooo greenbean mine

  • Hello, Have you the link for me to the save food?

    I don't have Facebook. (Sorry... my english is not so good)

  • @theguineapigguidee it is not that it is bad for them it is that it has no nutritional value it dosent hurt them

  • LLLONNNNGGG video!!! YAY!!!!

  • I give my guinea pigs Iceberg lettuce all the time and theyre fine so it cant be that bad for them :)

  • Comment removed

  • I agree about the dairy! When is a piggie in the wild ever going to go suck on a cows udder?! Bizzare. So unatural for them.

  • Is it me or did that rhyme at 10:50 feed in moderation, can cause constipation. Hee Hee

    Anyway thanks for uploading this!!!

  • such a BIG LONG VIDEO !!!1 and thank you for doing this for US !

  • Thanks for all the awesome videos and for taking time out of your day to make this . It really helped me , i was actually quite surprised to find that you can't feed the piggies certin things like , for example , cheese . Thank you once more . I also have a qestion , do you recomend have a Texel cavy and a Peruvian cavy together in a cage ? i was just woundering because those are the types i plan on getting.

    kbyeee ;)

  • LOL at 8:40, wish i had a raspberry. They are always overpriced here in AUstralia :(. $7 and punnet(100g)!!

  • hercules looks so cute when hes eating the grape

  • hercues looks so cute when hes eating the grape

  • I heard that you should never EVER give your guineas lettuce

  • @Artisfun2 you should never give them iceberg lettuce but romain and the other lettuces she shows u in the video r very good for them

  • @Artisfun2 Nah, you just shouldn't ever give iceburg lettuce.

  • Cool

  • Thank you :D Love your videos!

  • @piggiepigpigs luv luv luv ur vids & of course ur piggies & don't 4get Penelope

  • Love your video so much

  • I think they love VEGETABLES and your guinea pigs are hilarious and Chewy is so funny and naughty:)

  • Ithink they love VEGETABLES and your guinea pigs are hilarious and Chewy is so funny and naughty:)

  • Ithink they love VEGETABLES and your guinea pigs are halarious and Chewy is so funny and naughty:)

  • Dear Piggiepigpigs, Could you do another Piggiepigpigs contest? I've being wanting to enter one of your competitions! Please reply! Thanks!

  • note 2 self dnt give one bean to one piggy-they stel it from eachother lol so cute tho

  • lol meat was on the danger foods list omg i think that ones like a no brainer......we dont want cannibal guinea pigs

  • i have posed videos now plz check it out

  • This is great! your pigs have a wide variety to munch on!

    I wish our market would have this much stuff year round.

    I totally agree with absolutely no dairy or grain, that stuff DOES cause internal medical problems which are extremely costly to fix. Pigs are strict vegetarians. :)

  • if i had your accent i will never shutup.

  • i only have romain, bell prepper, brockoly (some times), tomatos n qucumber . they get apples n bananas once a mounth i tried salery they aint really into that so but i trust you :'D couse i love your piggies

  • Another GREAT video from Piggepigpigs! Great tips! Keep up the AWESOME job! WE LOVE YOU! I am saving up for my 1st 2 new guinea pigs as well!

  • when i was eating my strawberrys, my guinea pig wanted to eat the green bit, is that okay for them to eat? because he loves them

  • Were growing Romaine lettuce , Radish , Cucumber , Strawberry , Tomato in our garden. So my piggy will get fresh fruits and vegs :) And I can't give him fruits or vegetables well the lady said I can't she said he has to be 6 months old before I can give him fruits and vegetables I don't know why but since you've had a lot of experience with guinea pigs I'm asking you if I can give him fruits and vegetables so can I?

  • l like how u say banana & tomato!

  • l like how u say banana!

  • They don't sell any of this stuff in the USA. Not these brands but I don't know which other brands to trust.

  • I introduced watermelon and banana and she ate a bit of banana but was all over the guinea pig - I treat her every other day - not daily lol

  • i saw peppers on that list

  • I believe no on cooking apples and apple seeds are expecially dangerous because they contain small quanties of cyanide, same as cherry pits and some nuts like almonds.

  • Are you doing a hamster one soon also?

  • I like how your greens comes pre-packaged, usually here we have to package them ourselves which is fine, but its not air tight like this, so it wouldn't last as long.

  • my grandma has a satsuma tree is it ok to give guinea pigs homegrown ones?

  • i found this on jackies website Satsumer Pieces: One or two segments, remove rind and pips, give weekly. You can give a little of any orange citrus fruit.

  • Thank u for sharing this with us :D

  • Very very helpful. Thanks Laura! :)

  • my guinea pigs LOVE LOVE LOVE broolic, grapes( i cant spell it ) :P

  • the curly parsley is higher in calcium than the flat leaf parsley, so yeah just thought i'd tell you that :L great video as always :)

  • I got a new guinea pig a couple days ago and she instantly favored romaine lettuce. I gave her a cucumber slice and she ate it all so I tried romaine lettuce and she ate it. Then the next day I tried to give her a cucumber slice and she wouldn't eat it. Instead she ate the romaine lettuce. I was wondering, is this good or bad? And should I be giving her more than one type of veggie? She doesn't really like to try new things.

  • WHO WOULD DISLIKE THIS VID.THESE ARE AWSOME AND HELPFUL...ALSO THANK U Piggiepigpigs FOR POSTING THESE VIDS THEIR VERY HELPFUL

  • i thought piggies couldnt eat avacados???? ive read that in every book ive seen about guinea pigs.

  • This video makes lettuce look absolutely delicious!

  • Do you give your pigs carrot?? (=

  • @TheCavyHelp

    check the lists that she posted., might say if they can or not.

  • @TheCavyHelp Yes I do speak about carrot in this video.
