Guinea pig boar cleaning tutorial *WARNING: GUINEA PIG GENITALS!*

Male guinea pigs need special grooming known as boar cleaning. Mr. Spaghett demonstrates how to do this process we perform monthly. Be forewarned there will be cleaning of guinea pig genitals. If you don't want to see that sort of thing, there is a warning in the video and you can skip the rest at that point. Guinea pig care and hygiene leads to all sorts of awkward topics! We do two types of cleaning for Spaghett. First is cleaning what I call the butt pouch. Male guinea pigs have a pocket above their true anus that collects nasty debris. You can expect a mix of poop, bedding, hair, hay, and the infamous boar glue. It will be stinky and you might want to wear gloves. You wipe out the debris with a cotton swab and either warm soapy water or mineral oil. If you don't do this often, the gunk may be dried to the skin. In that case let it soak before you attempt removing it. Be careful not to tear any of the sensitive skin down there! If the debris is not cleaned out it can eventually lead to impaction when the poop ball grows so large it blocks new poops from getting out. So clean your boars regularly! To put it bluntly, the second part is penis cleaning. I actually do this first while my hands are clean. They manage to get this region pretty dirty too! They can get hay, bedding, and hair trapped inside here as well. So it's definitely good to check even if it's a bit awkward. You press above the nubbins to get the penis to come out, and then gently squeeze the sides to get it to fully extend. You'll find a lot of "boar glue" that wipes away with soapy water. At the end you will find some bizarre prongs that are actually part of the penis. Don't try to remove those! But if your pig is neutered like Spaghett it may be difficult to reach the prongs. When you're done, just push it back in its little holster. And then he's back to being a civilized pig! WHAT’S PIGS? We publish daily highlights of the adorable antics of our guinea pig herd. Subscribe to see what they do tomorrow! In June 2019 we adopted five pigs from Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue. They are cute herbivorous pets with funny social interactions. We film all their behaviors, from cute guinea pig noises to eating sounds, playing with their food to sleeping with their eyes open, and occasional fighting. So far they have been most popular for their loud wheeking and rumblestrutting and their ridiculous guinea pig fights! MEET THE PIG FAMILY Spaghett is the boar of the herd. The rest of the pigs are females, but he’s a neutered male so they won’t be breeding. Sorry, no pregnant or baby guinea pigs! Spaghett has orange-brown ginger fur with a white crest on his head and cute red eyes. He goes on funny romps with popcorning and zoomies. He does hilarious rumblestrutting while purring. Acorn is youngest. She has white, black, and gold fur with a cute mousy face. She’s inquisitive, always wants food, and talks to herself while exploring. Little Acorn’s special talent is jumping on houses for rooftop adventures. Butternut appears either confused or deep in thought. She has white and gold fur. Her hobbies include sleeping and yawning while flopped over with her feet sprawled out. She continues wheeking, squeaking, and squealing at us after we have already given her food. Pumpkin has black fur except for white back toes. She looks like a cow, a non-guinea pig, and a rabbit. She has noisy standoffs when Acorn gets feisty. Zucchin is oldest and grumpiest. She has white and gray fur with cute red eyes. At first Zucchin fought with Spaghett. Now they get along, but Zucchin is still a grouch. But she looks like a cute rat! THEIR HOME The pigs live in a custom 4 by 6 foot cage made by merging 3 Midwest Guinea Habitat cages. They first lived in the 3 cages connected by ramps. Their bedding is soft paper bedding from Small Pet Select. We spot clean wet spots daily and do a full cage clean when the bedding starts to smell funky. They used to live on fleece blankets with towels and newspaper underneath. Back then we washed guinea pig fleece by hand in the sink. The pigs prefer free stuff to actual guinea pig toys. They love to hide under packing paper. A DIY guinea pig house made from a cardboard box is a favorite hidey. They are not interested in most chew toys. THEIR DIET Their favorite hay is 3rd cutting timothy hay from Small Pet Select. But they get most excited about fresh grass. They gobble up guinea pig pellets. They eat nearly any vegetable. The only thing rejected so far was zucchini. Their favorites are dandelion leaves, fennel, cilantro, parsley, banana leaves, kale, collard greens, kohlrabi, carrot tops and roots, beets, bell peppers, corn with the husk, cucumbers, and pumpkin. They go wild for homemade wheatgrass sprouts.
