When I found out that guinea pigs gave birth to active, fully furred, opened eyed babies, I was just a little kid. I couldn't believe it, because all other animals I knew about then did the opposite! Tiny, weak, blind, closed ears. I still think it's pretty magical, even though I know a lot more now.
Yes, it's so cute to see the mini-me version of the mother guinea pig, all busy squeaking and running around!

👍👌👏 Yeah, cuteness overload for sure! Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
We are so glad when we see Sandra with all the animals.We love your channel and after a very long day .We will get sat down to watch to help us relax. Thank you for sharing.We will look forward to watching.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hope you'll enjoy!
Awesome and informative. Can't express how much I love the noises they make
It's the best greeting in the morning, the excitement when they hear me coming! And then all quiet when I dished up their breakfast and they are busy enjoying quietly!
I`m always happy when I hear news from your guinea pigs.
Thank you!
This video was overdue, meant to make it ages ago, and finally found the space! They are such adorable creatures.
Thanks Sandra for taking us along!
👍💪✌
You are welcome!
Hi Sanrda! I absolutely love this episode. I researched Guinea Pigs not too long ago. Even then, I didn't learn nearly a quarter of what I did watching your wonderful video. I love Guinea Pigs. They are such cute animals.
Stay safe and healthy, Sandra and Tim. Stay safe and healthy animals of the farm!❤
Thank you! There are so many more things about guinea pigs that I didn'y put in the film - one of the most underestimated species!!!
It should be said that there's lots of bigger rodents still, like coypu, maras, and capybaras! Some have even been spotted wild here in Ireland, likely escaped from zoos or farms
Definitely, guinea pigs have many distant relatives...just couldn't fit it all into the video!
Hi Sandra - I love your videos (especially your overnight trips on horseback) and just needed to tell you that. Thank you!
Thanks fr telling me, always nice to hear when people enjoy what we make. Wish I could do more trips and more films about them!!!
Thanks
Wonderful video, Sandra! Thank you very much!
In Hebrew a guinea pig is called a whistler , now i know why 😅 the sound they make does resemble the sound of a whistle , thank you sandra for this wonderful video ❤
The guinae look nice and calm
They are a relaxed bunch alright!
Another fact: The cutest guinea pigs on Earth live in...
my appartment! 🥰
I believe it, but then they are all the cutest!!!
Wow, such a well researched video! I didn’t know any of this.
The more I read about them the more there is to know! Must do a second episode sometime...
Lovely video Sandra!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome to see your team with the young and old and those in need ❤ respect and love from the other side of the world in New Zealand. Great info on the Guinea-pig thank you, even though our family had them at different times, I didn't know they birthed, eyes open ready to go 👍👍stay safe team.
Thanks for watching! There are so many more amazing facts about guinea pigs...couldn;t fit it all in this time, must plan episode 2!!!
@@WayOutWestx2 I'll happily watch 🫂 thank you for the time you put into your friends 2 and 4 legged, stay safe 🙏 😘 sorry Tim sending your girl a kissy face, love both of your channels 😘 be well team.
Thanks - two kissy faces even, one for me and one for Tim?!
AND they produce enormous quantities of magnificent non-smelly manure for compost and mulching the garden!!
Yes, absolutely, all going on our dung heap!!!
Unfortunately the RSPCA are reporting a 200% increase in the amount of GPs they are having placed with them. Mainly down to inexperienced owners not properly sexing them before placing them together. They are great companion pets but they do need plenty of space to exercise and explore as they are very inquisitive. Great that you made the point that they NEED to be kept with at least one companion (preferably more) as they are such social animals. Love the channel.
When you see them hang out together, you can never bare the sight of a lonely single buinea pig ever again!
Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️
Guinea Pigs have been found to be in a different family than rodents.
Although textbooks still need to be revised. To provide some context, many years ago, rabbits were also considered to be rodents. They were eventually reclassified as a non-rodent. The Guinea Pig will also follow suit.
Ohh hee hee I was already on the channel when this uploaded! How fun, thanks for the upload!
You are welcome, good timing!
Since they don't store food they sound like the ultimate grasshoppers
I love guniea pigs ❤
Go Switzerland for doing the right thing.
Absolutely!!!
Lol! I love a guinea pig!
Two! Always get them in at least pairs!!!
When our children were little we had many cavies. Such gentle creatures and excellent pets. Our son had pigs that won many ribbons at guinea pig shows. Females make the best pets.
I find my females are much more timid and cautious than my males. I always take males to my therapy work as they are so relaxed and happy.Unfortunately, we don;t have guinea pig classes at our shows here...yet!
Sandra, do they tend to bite people when handled?
Not in my experience. I only had one bite from a male but that was my own fault, he was hungry for his dinner and I picked him up so he gave out! They are usually very placid and peaceful.
@@WayOutWestx2 Thank you Sandra.
