  • This is Part I of a 2 part video that presents pros and cons of guinea pigs and hedgehogs as pets. The opinions in this video are based on my personal experiences with these pets. Part I presents the pros and cons of owning a guinea pig. Remember to watch part II to see the pros and cons of owning a hedgehog. Part II will be uploaded right after this!
    In summary, guinea pigs make great pets for adults, responsible kids, and can be great pets for small children (as long as an adult is supervising). However, they are a bit messy. So if you're too much of a neat freak this is probably not the pet for you.

    I was so excited when I opened my laptop and saw I had another video of yours to watch! This is so informative and I love the catchy title hehe! I love my piggies but this would have definitely helped me be a little more prepared prior to getting them- particularly with how flippin' messy they are! Can't wait to watch Part 2!

    i used to have a guinea pig and I loved it! We used to feed it alfalfa, and scrapes after my mom would cut up food for dinner! Also dandelion stems and obviously guinea pig pellets!

    I love this. But my piggie, though she loves being held, does NOT like it when I pick her up to handle her.

    You can get BIG bags if hay, alfalfa, food and bedding for a fraction of the cost of pet stores and if sign up for their like email thing you get coupons! I know because I went there when my piggies where alive :,(

    You can get a GIANT bale of hay for like 20$ better quality than the pet store stuff. Pet stores are a rip off.

      Yes you can, my brother had a guinea pig a long time ago and he only had one and he had school and all that shit, but he gave enough attention to it and it was happy and healthy, so yes you can have one guinea pig if you give it a lot of attention after school, work, errands, etc. So therefor yes you can have one guinea pig as long as you give them enough attention and *Cuddle Time and Play Time :)*

    Hi, sorry to comment on an old vid. I just wanted to ask how many playpens you had to purchase to get to the size you have now? I'm looking into buying a large playpen for my piggies.

    Omg! I love that octopus toy, where did you get it and could I also use it for a Hedgehog?

  • @jwalchuck
    @jwalchuck Před 11 lety

    Great great great video!!! I 100% agree with the fleece bedding. Best thing I ever did! In terms of messy hay, that problem is easily solved with a hay bag. I bought the "pig out pouch" from Peewees piggy palace and it has reduced the mess and hay allergens so much that my younger sister who gets hives from hay can now hold my piggies. I highly recommend it. It also saves them wasting the hay. Hay hampers are a nightmare compared to the pig out pouch!

    hi!
    i am a gymnast and i train 6 hours a day + school and i leave school around noon so in total i would be out of the house for 8 hours, i was just wondering if you have to hold your hedge hog everyday and play with them when your taming them, would it be a good idea for me to get one?

    2:44 look at what the white guinea pig is going into (it's red) those are VERY VERY VERY bad for them it can cut there skin because it's very rough and they can get stuck in it really easily so please don't buy them for ur piggies thank you if you care for other pigs than post this on other vids💗💗💗💗

    i never knew her exact breed but I always thought she was a silkie. I stupidly let an ex boyfriend that I thougt I was going to marry convince me I had to get rid of my guinea pigs. I was engaged to him and we were going to move in together and I couldnt bring them so I had to give her up, my fiance ended up cheating on me AFTER i gave up my guinea pigs and by then it was too late.): Never let a man take away your joys in life, it never ends well
