However most of your information was correct with a few exceptions. I forgot to put this in my last message.

[Burlapin]

I wondered what is incorrect? I like to get facts right, so please tell me if you know of any errors, I would appreciate it!

You are irritating. If your guinea pigs don't want to interact with you, you aren't paying enough attention to them.

[Burlapin]

No, they just don't like to be picked up. I pay exactly the right amount of attention to them. Every animal is different, so you really have no idea what MY pigs need, as they are different from your pigs, of which I'm sure you've had thousands of.

cool video response burlapin :)

Thanks. I just like to bring balance to people's thought processes on getting a pig. Cute videos are nice, but it's important to see the other side!

Um hello, they do like to interact! Your guinea pigs are cute!

i love your video and your honesty about how much work guineapigs are. yeah they are adorable and sweet, but they take a lot of time and effort for fairly little reward. i was unaware of what it took to own a cavy when i got mine from a pet store. i ended up giving them to a friend that had more spare time than me. i actually cried when i gave them away. they're adorable and funny but not the pet for me. people need videos like this to show the real side of what owning a guinea pig is like.ty=)

My son has a guinea pig which he begged me for for over a year to get. I finally gave in and bought one. I absolutely fell in love with him. He is the most vocal and adorable guinea pig I have ever seen. He loves to eat celery when I hold him.
