    @aliciajoly75686 years ago For a year I had prepared to purchase/adopt my first pair of guinea pigs. Personally thought skinny’s were weird and ugly. But once a petsmart employer let me hold a female and I fell in love. A few months later we ended up adopting a female skinny pig from kijiji. We now have two guinea pigs and one skinny pig and I personally think skinny pigs have so much more personality and quirky-ness compared to fluffy piggies but I absolutely love my trio of girls! 💞 ... 4

    @hendrickschipper29386 years ago Unfortunately I had to place my darling two guineas in care of a nice lady.
    Moving to a new place.
    I will always Love guineas.
    At least one consolation that they will have well into next year spring enough very specal wildoat tops,buds from fieldgrassea with in it dille,anise and variety of dried soft fresh grasses.
    Tip: Feed your guineas oats!!
    Always make sure that they have a full water bottle with that.I miss Doodles very much! (my late wife's favorite)
    Doodles is now 8 and half year old and still popcorns and jumps on cage.
    My housing situation was compromised by extreme nosey co tenants,
    At least my guineas are safe..

    @cutesybunnny6 years ago I love your videos so much! I have learned the importance of specific guinea pig care. I use to have a tiny cage with one guinea pig, dusty hay, tap water, terrible pellets, piece of fabric for the bottom of her cage, handling her disrespectfully, treating it like a toy etc. I could go on and on. I now have 2 pigs and I love them so much, I shake out their cage liner in their 2x5 cage everyday, change their beds when needed, clean it every 2 days sometimes every other day, I feed them fresh veggies, filtered water, sherwood pellets, nice hay, trim their nails etc. again i could go on and on. I treat them with so much more respect and you're channel has truly taught me how no matter how small guinea pigs may be they deserve as much love and proper care as a human would. I now treat animals with much more respect. Love your vids I appreciate what you do so much ❤️ ... 6

    @nunyabidness86565 years ago I’ve found my skinny pig to be much more skittish than the other guinea pigs. I adopted him at around 1.5 years old so I’m unsure if maybe he just had less human interaction in his first home. He was an only pig there too. He doesn’t like his skin touched- just his furry spots, maybe that’s part of it.
    For such a skittish pig he sure does coming running when he knows the food is coming!

    @mindofkale96345 years ago I just got a skinny pig a week ago :) her name is Hazel, when I got her, she had dry skin and super long nails, her skin is way better and she doesn't twitch when I try to touch her skin (all the time) now, her nails are still pretty long but I've only been able to cut her nails once because of the quick. I'm trying to get them to a regular size (one paw had very long nails and her nails are crooked on it..). She was from a shelter so she was probably neglected before she got to the shelter, but I really want her to have an amazing life so I'm doing all I can. (I did introductions with her and my piggies, it went well and they live together now, she still seems a little scared of them though) I think she was housed with other Guinea pigs that didn't like her.. she has strange ears (they arent like my other piggies ears, hers kinda look squiggly) seems like they were bitten at, except that they also look healthy so she could have been born like that, but it would also explain why she is scared of my guinea pigs, whenever they go near her she makes a high pitch sound, even though they are being friendly and sniffing her ...

    @rubygomez28483 years ago I always heard that skinny pigs should have coconut oil every 2-3 days. Is this true? Or is it just when there skin looks odd? Thanks for any help! I just got a skinny pig and I’m so excited!

    @kailikaili47144 years ago I have 5 guinea pigs, one is a skinny pig and she struggles with keeping her weight up tho. I feed them all the same thing but I can see my skinny pigs bones. The others have extra fat and are pretty heavy (around 2 pounds). My room has a thermometer and stays around 21°c. Maybe should I feed her extra? She doesn't really run much. (to clear this up, she isn't very underweight as far as I know. She just looks skinnier than the others and I want her to gain a bit more.) ...

    @taajah6 years ago I’m having a problem with one of my guinea pigs, he has hair. A couple of days ago he seemed to be passed out like so I put him in cold water to wake up him. Which he did and then he seemed to be stuff then I noticed on the side of his back there was this white pus. I cleaned him and it smelt horrible and I cleaned him again the next day and now the puss is black grayish. I don’t know what happened the room they stay in is always cool and their cages or cleaned regularly. I haven’t had this one for long I got him off Craigslist along with another one. All my other ones seem to be doing just fine. But he’s separated from the others for now. Any idea what could’ve happened to him? Btw he’s about 2 years old ...
