Guinea-pig trick: Sit Like a Rabbit

My niece thought our guinea-pigs to sit on there hind legs. I know it's not much of a trick actually, but they are just so cute when they do it that I had to tube it.

by the ways u would'nt realy call this a trick

it'll be one if there was no food

[Havshexan]

in a way you are right, but to teach an animal a trick you need some kind of reward. In the beginning it's important that they see and smell the reward. By now they do it wether I have something in my hand or not, but I still have to reward them if they do the trick, so there still has to be food even if I don't have to wave it above their heads

your pigs are obese

they really need to lose some weight

[Havshexan]

Yes they really look fat when filmed at that angle :). They eat mainly grass and herbs and hay, so they have got classic "grass-eaters-stomach", like cows, you know. The rest of their bodies are really firm, no fat there, at least.

@iLuffYhew You were potty trained by rewarding using a potty instead of your nappy, whether it was praise or a hug, it's the same thing. Animals learn by reward.
