The Crazy Pet Channel: Guinea Pigs

Hi readers! I thought I would do a more farm related post for a change. 1. Cows, they are the main animal at the farm and have to be kept happy and healthy. The main job is feeding them, this does take some time as we have well over 20 cows. As well as feeding them we have to muck out the yard and lower barn from their poo. Every now and again we also have to get them into the cattle crush to do TB (Bovine Tuberculosis) tests with the vet, worm them or tag any calves that haven't already.

Hi readers! I decided to do this post as I have been giving my guinea pigs more things to do to keep them happy and healthy. 1. Give them a hay pile. Guinea pigs love to hide in hay and they can also eat it. It is messy but your piggies will absolutely love it! 2. Scatter forage around their cage. This encourages your guineas to move about and gives them a variety in their diet. 3. Put their veggies on a kabob. This will keep them occupied for ages and you can get them that attach to the side of cages and ones that go on the floor for your piggies to roll around (  HAYPIGS! Piggy weightlifter is my personal favorite ) 4. Give them fleece beds. This is a great idea especially in the winter as the fleece will help them stay warm. Maisie has the  HayPigs! piggy crash pad  and loves it. Bramble and Patches have a rattie angels  hammock that I got at the national pet show . 4. Get a subscription box for your guinea pigs. I normally get a  Bunnies That Lunch  box for them as the ra

Hi readers! I thought I would do my story with animals. Hello, my name is Mo. I am 15 years old and I am CRAZY about all animals (except insects!) I got my first pets when I was 6. They were 2 rabbits called Beaver and Buttons. They were mine and my big sisters Christmas present. Sadly, I was too young to take care of them properly and I got bored of them quickly, so my parents had to help look after them. Once I reached 8, I got more interested in taking care of them. This really made me want to work with animals. When I was 10 Buttons (my rabbit) died. I was very sad and I feel disappointed that I don't have many memories of him. He died in September 2012 A while before Buttons died, I asked my parents for some pet fish, so when buttons died they let me get some. I got the tank as a Christmas present and then I got 5 fish. These were my first pet fish. I had 2 small fantail goldfish and 3 minnows. Sadly one of the goldfish didn't last long and died within a few months

Hi readers! I asked for questions on my YouTube channel and I thought I would put them on here as well. DJ Diamond Q: How long have you been blogging/vlogging? A: I have been blogging since October 2014 and I started vlogging in April 2017. Q: How old are the pets? A: Bramble, Patches, Rocky and Flopsy are all 3, Maisie is 2 and Angel is 7 and a half months (8 on the 1st of June 2018). Miss Emma Q: How long have you been doing YouTube? A: Since September 2016. Q: What is your favourite dog breed? A: Long haired german shepard/Alsatian. Simply Rae Q: How often do you exercise your animals? A: Rabbits have access to their enclosure all the time. Guinea pigs run around their cages and shed and are put out in runs when the weather is nice. Angel gets 4 30-40 minute walks a day and plays in the house and garden. My mum Q: You already have lots of pets, but if you could have any pet you liked, what would it be? A: A gecko or a tortoise. Piggies world Q: If you could

Hi readers! Just thought I would let you  know that I have managed to bond Bramble and Patches together again. Mo :)

Hi readers! Many of my readers in the UK have snow at the moment so I thought I would do a post on how to keep our small pets warm. Tips 1. Give them lots of straw to burrow in. 2. Increase their food (example: my guinea pigs are on 1/8 of a cup of nuggets normally so I am giving the 2/8-3/8 of a cup instead) 3. Increase their root vegetables and leafy greens. 4. Cover them at night to stop the cold going in. 5. Put bubble wrap or thick socks over their water bottles to stop them freezing. What if you don't feed nuggets? If you don't feed your small pets nuggets, but do feed them pea flakes, or a food mix, increase it just as you would do with nuggets. If you can get to a pet shop, buy some high quality hay, nuggets or Readigrass to give them some extra energy and weight (in the winter it is better for them to be overweight than underweight). Indoors or outdoors? It is better to keep small pets indoors during the winter but if you have family members who are allerg

HI! Sorry I haven't posted for a while! I had a bit of a writers block and as most of you will probably know I now have a Labrador puppy called Angel (but she doesn't act like one!). Why weigh your guinea pig(s) Weighing them is a good way to find out if they are ill. Guinea pigs are prey animals so they try to hide when they are ill and when most guinea pigs are ill they lose some weight. It is also a good way to make sure they are not overweight as like many small animals, it is very easy for them to get overweight. Guinea pigs don't need vaccinations so they only go to the vet when needed unlike rabbits, dogs and cats. This means they are not weighed regularly at the vets. So weighing at home is a great way to tell if they are healthy and also useful if they need to go to the vet so they can see their normal weight. It is also useful for working out how much mite treatment to use! What you will need Scales (kitchen scales or baby scales are best) A notebo
