hey guys Scott here Scotty's Animals I'm here
with Billy today and we're going to talk about five ways to make your guinea pigs
love you now if you haven't seen my video already on seven with reasons why
your guinea pig hates you well this is going to be a more positive version of
that so what are some ways that you can get your guinea pigs to love you the
first way is through food now of course guinea pigs their heart is in their
stomach and if you want to love them then you need to figure out what kind of
foods guinea pigs eat what kind of foods guinea pigs love at the L a guinea pig
rescue we do have a food guide it's a list of safe foods and foods that your
guinea pigs will love and foods that are treats and foods that should be avoided
so I'll put a link right here and also in the description to that so food you
want to make sure that you're giving them the proper diet okay
that means 80% of their diet should be hay and they should have fresh
high-quality guinea pig pellets in a bowl daily they should always have that
in addition you can give them treats and if you want your guinea pigs to love you
then you will give them fresh veggies daily but if you give them too much
fresh veggies then that's gonna make them sick too much wet fresh veggies
like too much lettuce and things like that can cause soft poops and that can
really disrupt their digestion and as you know when we're sick we tend to be a
little bit grumpy so if you want your pigs to love you and and be in a good
mood when they see you you want to greet them with treats so I'm gonna do that
right now I'll show you what I'm talking about I'm gonna go to the fridge and I'm
gonna get some stuff
so they're now they're expecting treat
some pellets see so when they when they get used to you
and they get used to your even these little babies babies babies come on
babies come on look they're taking it from my hand good they're still very
skittish though see but they know they know that that this big guy brings food
hey Gary can I have a kiss
Billy come on here you guys can share some some lettuce here how about that is
that fun someone just purred is that you Jimmy wait what's on your face
come here Mike there's some for you come in yeah you talk to your piggies and you
give them treats and you treat them like people then they will respond Pippi you
want more Oh Pippi can't see you can't see very well if at all okay here come
here you can have some Garry's love that also while we're still talking about
food child life liquid vitamin C you can its vitamins not food but you can give
it one full CC which is one milliliter one milliliter oral syringe per guinea
pig per day here you go Tim so they once they taste it they try to pull the
syringe out from your hand okay that's it just one pip stir
you know want to finish it come on there you go
Gary's new and he is not quite as used to it well when you're 4p his first
trying it he's probably not gonna like it like he's gonna find it's too sour
hmm but I like it it's it's actually taste like tang and it's for kids so you
can just put a little bit on this come on you're acting like petunia come on
Gary you may have to deal with this the first couple times maybe it's easier
sitting down so for the piggies that don't want to take the vitamin C you can
just put them on a table and just put it on the side of their mouth
come here Gary you just go right on the side of their teeth come on Gary but I
want to show that some pigs do struggle come on you can still do it here we go
there you go just a little bit it's okay you got it
there you go it wasn't so bad was it was it bad it wasn't so bad
what do you think you okay
just a little patience I'm just got to be slick Mike he used to
hate it he used to have to do the same thing
with Gary like I'd have to pick him up and force him to take it and sometimes
he's not in the mood for it but man you sure did
eat it up just now what Pippi get out of here
so that was food let's just sum it up again real quick eighty percent of their
diet should be good quality fresh hay and they should always have a bowl full
of pellets and fresh water okay and in addition to that we're talking treats
and if your guinea pigs are weaking you don't have to always give them veggies
you know a big pile of fresh hay a huge pile for them to run through and play
with and how you give it to them can really stimulate them putting it in the
snack shack log or stuffing some in the grits like I did with the lettuce all
those are ways that you can really use food to interact and enrich in your
guinea pigs life and increase that bond okay so that's food that's number one
number two the second way to get your guinea pigs to love you is with your
actions okay relationships are based on actions Billy
so Billy is a pretty tame boy but still guinea pigs are prey animals they don't
like being picked up they like being held once they're picked up they don't
mind being held for a certain amount of time you say oh my Danny pig they hate
me they always squirm right watch that video seven reasons why your guinea pig
hates you but we're talking about love right now how do you increase that bond
well you do pick them up you approach them gently you don't approach them like
you are a hawk swooping in to snatch them up in your talons and take them
back to your nest on a high mountain top that's not how you got to behave however
someone messaged me or it was in a comment they said it
doesn't matter my pigs are so tame I can flap my hands over them and they just
look at me like I'm crazy or they look at me like that okay well where's the
lettuce and that's what you want to get to that's what you want to get to so how
do you do that well the combination of number one
always coming with food you're coming with veggies or in general your your not
surprising them if you come in the room you come in hey guys how's it going if
you have food then you're kind of you're imitating them getting them all riled up
you want to be non aggressive non-threatening when you come in to the
room you want them to recognize you as the bringer of food and that you're
coming into the room in a non-threatening way and over time you
will build trust with them and it won't matter how you come in because they will
be standing there waiting for you another little addition to that would be
routine if you do build a routine where the guinea pigs are expecting treats in
the morning they're expecting treats at night before bed certain times of the
day they know that they're going to get attention or treats then they will get
used to that and they'll they'll understand that not I've had Billy since
he was a baby so that's why he's you know as tame as he is especially for a
Kui
okay so that's number two how to get your guinea pig to love you through your
actions consistent actions consistent care giving them food being not
aggressive being gentle with your approach talking to them treating them
like people with personalities you don't just ignore them when you're in the room
with them know you you communicate with them so through your actions you're
building trust and you're building love now let's go to number three what's the
third way that you can make your guinea pigs love you well with patience okay so
this is these are all building blocks if the first one is through food and the
second one is through your actions then you're going to need to do this
consistently you're going to have to be patient you can't expect your guinea
pigs to change personalities to trust you overnight if you got them at a
rescue or an animal shelter you don't know what what their past has been like
and regardless you're a new person so it's going to take a little while to
develop and build that relationship but not as long as you think you know Lila
my foster she was here and in less than a week she realized I'm the one who's
bringing all of this food and treats and she would stand on her hind legs and
practically climb out of the cage to greet me now or even this for the long
haul I mean you're gonna have guinea pigs for
many many years and they are gonna be part of your
family so there's no reason to rush this and guinea pigs are prey animals they
don't like being chased they don't like being picked up they like being held but
if you were small and some larger person is chasing you around your home with
their big arms cage matters also having an open cage like a CNC or a Midwest
especially if it's raised up it keeps you at their
their level they're up to your level and when you're reaching in it's not as
frightening as if they're in an enclosed cage a small cage and you're chasing
them around with your your claws like that you know that lets freaky to them
so be patient and this actually brings us to the next one which is the four
threes on how to get your guinea pigs to love you is with your care okay now how
you approach them how do you care for them okay you want to make sure that
your piggies are well careful well cared for and that means giving them regular
health checks regular nail clips doing a bore cleaning okay
I have links to all these videos so I'll put them on a card and I'll put them in
the description also but you want to check your boys okay do a bore cleaning
you want to check their private parts clean their their anal sac there but
their penis their ears check their teeth clip their nails all of these things
check their grease gland okay these are important things and when you
have a piggy that's well killed cared for then they will be healthy and
they'll be happy and when they're healthy and happy then they'll show it
and remember what is love okay is love a human emotion or is love some greater
universal truth regardless of what you think love is it's going to be different
for a guinea pig than it is a person so you can't impose your feelings and your
emotions onto them instead you need to open your heart and accept that they're
gonna love you the way they're gonna love you right and you're gonna love
them the way you're gonna love them Billy okay so we're talking about care
health checks chores etc you want to make sure that you clean your cage
weekly or whatever the schedule based on the type of cage setup that you
have okay you want to keep your cage clean you want to keep the water bottles
clean you want to have the food bowls always full you want to have hay in
there so keeping up with their care it's going to make them happy and healthy and
in turn it's going to make them love you it's going to encourage them to love you
or at least trust you here's an aside last night I was holding Timmy for about
15-20 minutes and Timmy at the end of it he started crying I didn't know if he
just wasn't feeling well but he started crying in his eyes wide open and I was
like okay after a while as I thought take you back and I put him back and ii
literally the second he touched the pine shavings in his cage he peed and i know
that because he peed on my finger but it was amazing it was like he was holding
it he's like dad I don't want to pee on you take me back and literally the
second I put him in a cage so these guys are amazing they are intelligent they
are caring they're aware and all you have to do is take the time to open up
and you'll see all right now that brings us to the fifth way to make your guinea
pigs love you and that is with their conditions okay their cage conditions
their habitat their surroundings the room that they're in the cage mates that
they're with okay
does your guinea pig live alone if your guinea pig lives alone
chances are they're not going to be as outgoing and they're just guinea pigs
are herd animals they shouldn't live alone they can get depressed so having a
cage mate boys fight Billy lives alone in this
cage but he has a bunch of guinea pigs around him right now he's been fighting
with whoever he's been living with that's a whole nother video series but
having guinea pigs even the same room or side-by-side is
much better than living alone completely guinea pigs should never be alone okay
they should be in a room that's well lit they should be in a cage that's very
clean they should have fresh air okay they should not be exposed to the
elements or to pests okay they need to be in a clean comfortable place the rule
of thumb guinea pigs their temperatures a little bit warmer than people's and
the rule of thumb is if you're comfortable that they will be
comfortable and you can sort of assume that if you're getting hot
they're already hot they do well with cooler temperatures because they have
little heidi's that they can go in but if you're cold they're cold
if you're hot they're hot if you're comfortable then they're going to be
comfortable so making sure that you have the proper conditions for them to keep
them healthy and happy that's important so let's do a recap of the five ways to
make your guinea pigs love you number one through food through their
stomachs giving them good healthy food that's going to really go a long way to
increasing the bond maybe more than any of these others but the second reason is
through your actions the second way that you can get them to love you through
your actions if you approach them
cautiously carefully and you teach them that you're not a threat then they'll
understand that and if they learn that when you approach them it's with food
then they'll understand that even more
okay and the third way is with patience right if you're going to try to get your
guinea pig to love you more if you're wanting to build that relationship then
you're gonna have to use patience because it's not gonna happen overnight
but you will be surprised how quickly it will happen maybe be and what is the
fourth thing with your care you can make your guinea pig love you with your care
if you continue to keep up with the cage cleanings and the health checks and
making sure that your pig is living in a healthy and happy environment then they
will thrive and they will be more inclined to love you and that last fifth
thing the fifth way is with their conditions right making sure that they
always have clean cage fresh water fresh food that they're in a place that's not
too cold not too hot if you're comfortable they'll be comfortable and
that's that's it they're part of your family so if you're thriving then
they'll be thriving - as long as you avoid them the same care and love that
you give yourself and your loved ones all right so that's it five ways to make
your guinea pigs love you if you have any questions or comments please put
