I have a guinea pig named Patches!!!! If you want to see what he,it's a male,looks like,go to my channel and look for a guinea pig video. btw,GREAT video!! SOOOOO cute!
@misskj064 Depends on the pig. Some will always stay beside you, some will run and some will just walk away from you a little bit but stay in your sight. I had a pig that would never leave the spot I left her outside. She just stayed there and ate grass and laid down. :3
Haha! I'd give it a bit of a rinse after that. You better be careful though, if they eat seeds of any fruit, they can get a bit sick. That happened to my guinea pig once and he had a sick tummy.
Be VERY careful how much watery foods you feed your Guinea Pigs, I just lost one of mine from feeding her to much watermelon, NEVER let them choose how much they can eat.
mine prefer honeydew melon, carrot, cucumber, tomato, corn on the cob, hay, fresh grass, guinea pig pellets they dont like much but eat a little, braeburn apples andc premium wild bird seed with sunflower hearts mixed in, also dandelions, dock leafs and sunflower leaves and stems. Greedy pigs not guinea pigs!
@11cloud11 dandelions arent poisonus 2guinea pigs,there are dried ones in guinea pig hay,dock leafs arent poisonus 2them 2,i read up on what is right for them &they were said to be good for them,dunno bout sunflower leaves &stems,but caterpillars,slugs &snails love em,they dont poison them so i doubt they will poison guinea pigs.Premium wild bird seed with sunflower hearts is what they sell for small birds, they dont get poisoned &neither do my pigs. that leaves nothing u said as true
@11cloud11 wot my pigs do eat which is poison is bulb leaves but they clever enough 2know2 only eat small amount so 2not get stomach ache. i ave 5 g pigs &have fed them this 4more than 2 yrs,not one illness ¬ one case of diarrohoea,they sell dried dandelions 4guinea pigs in pet food stores,dock leafs arent poison either,what isnt poison 2wild animals isnt poison to g pigs, fresh grass is their fav and i go collecting for them every 2 or 3 days,
@11cloud11 strawberry leaves &stems they love them too,&clover,they even eat my budlia leaves which drop off the trees &still not one illness or diarrohoea,raisins they like too,&sultanas. half of them like bananas too,gotta take the apple peel off for them cause the citric can give them coldsores, &they only ever get natural spring mineral water,i dont trust tap water &never drink it myself &never cook with it so i dont expect my g pigs to have to drink that chite. my g pigs are proper healthy
@11cloud11 dock leaves are an anti hystermine which slugs snails and caterpillars eat without getting poisoned, my g pigs dont like em much but will eat em from the garden when they dont have any fresh grass.
@11cloud11 peter gurney is an expert on guinea pigs,he has bred them all his life, writin many books on the subject,nothin in that initial list is a poison 2 g pigs, pete gurney would know.dock leafs some ppl say become toxic at a certain age but i only feed my g pigs young dock leafs,sunflowers are not a poison to g pigs either, &neither are dandelions,if they were pet food stores wouldnt put dried ones in guinea pig hay. and lotsa forums saying sunflowers are aok, u dunno wot ya talking about
@heyheyheyheyhi14 Guinea pigs are social creatures, so if you have only one it might get lonely. It helps if you spend a lot of time playing with it, but having more than one is better. Though sometimes they might fight if you have two 'alpha piggies,' so it definitely depends on their personality. Guinea pigs make such wonderful pets... :3
I am sorry about Patches.Its sad what happend to him.I lost two ofmy piggies when they were babies one had a respirtory infection when I got her the other we really do not know?But now I have two new ones that I would do anything for.I learned when one piggie leaves normally another works its way in:o)
i know how u feel i had 18 piggies that we were fostering and they all cought some type of flu and died including my very own midnight the first guinnie pig i ever ownd she was my best friend and i loved her but we couldent kepp them away from the sicknes we tried taking them outside and out of the house i stay out there hour after hour....love the vid its so cute!!!! 5 stars~!!!
Don't leave dem piggies alone with a huge food item. My sis friend had one eatin a very large tomato, it ate until it died facedown into teh tomato. Was very sad, but very cute too (I know, disturbing).
Yes but not too much it can make them sick, blotted, and give them very soft stools. a slice the size of their head should be plenty (thickens 1/4in) . Watermelon=Candy to a Guinea (remember Oct. 31and that stomach ach.
omg im so sorry about patches! he was soo cute! but aswell i had a guinea pig caled Tiddles who had to be put down a few weeks ago :( loved him soo much! still got two other ones though , theyre both big and greedy! lol i love them too
Sorry about your guinea pig, and be careful not to give your piggy too much watermelon it causes diarriha and diarriha causes dehydration and dehydration causes death.
Patches was a fun guy but so much care! He was one of three adults that were dumped at a pet store, the others hated him and they all spent most of their days in the yard. The others were adopted out, Patches lived happily alone until he passed on.
I'm not sure how old Patches was, as he was dumped in a wire cage w/2 other adult males who always fought with him, so I gave them the entire backyard and they avoided each other. He started looking really old at the end, then he passed away one day, but was happy and active until that day. Very fun animals, just so much upkeep!
Not sure of his age, I had him for two years and he was an adult dumped with 2 other adult males at a petstore. He always looked ragged, I think the other pigs had torn him up wherever they lived before.
are you sure that guinea pigs are alowd to eat watermelon? did you ask his vet before you gave him that? he might eat one of those black seeds... be careful!
P.S. sorry about his death : (
P.S.S. Me and my guinea pigs live in texas, too : )
Watermelon is fine for piggies, every once in a while. (Too much too often can probably cause tummy problems.) I usually just give mine the rind, and I keep the good part for myself. :)
Alanamuir, I'm the only one that likes watermelon here, so it usually gets a rotten spot or goes uneaten and off to the GP it went. Now only the mockingbirds are around to eat the leftover fruit.
The seeds are fine. He was an older adult when I took him in after being dumped at a pet store, and he lived another fifteen or so months with us. He probably wouldn't have made it through hurricane Ike that happened a few days after his death, as we had no power in our area and it was very hot no matter where you went.
I washed him in a special shampoo from the vet for bacterial infections as he spent time outside but you could use a gentle kitten shampoo. I put him in the kitchen sink and wet him down with the sprayer, then soaped him up on the dirtiest parts like his feet and underside, then rinsed with warm water. Place a few washcloths down so they don't slip and injure themselves,keep your hands on their back to keep them from jumping out. Have towel ready, dry them before placing back in the cage.
Yes, piggies need to be kept from being damp but Patches had the sticky stuff washed off after he ate, and he really enjoyed eating this and being outdoors.
I'm sort of glad that he passed before the Ike ordeal, as he was old and infirm and would've been miserable indoors. We really want a capybara but the size is an issue in the suburbs.
Hahahah, that is great! How does the guinea pig interact with the dogs? Just curious cause I was thinking of getting one and I know that pitbulls, or terriers in general, were bred to hunt vermin. Just wondering if you had any issues with this?
Patches looks a bit like my Cutie Jr :D

I'm sort of glad that he passed before the Ike ordeal, as he was old and infirm and would've been miserable indoors. We really want a capybara but the size is an issue in the suburbs.

Hahahah, that is great! How does the guinea pig interact with the dogs? Just curious cause I was thinking of getting one and I know that pitbulls, or terriers in general, were bred to hunt vermin. Just wondering if you had any issues with this?
