A while back there was a thread by someone else which expressed a bit of concern about the fact that zoella ( a very famous and influencial youtuber) had gone out and bought two boy piggies from a pet shop (they are absolutely gorgeous by the way) because we thought that people might follow her and get piggies aswell but not neccesarily know how to look after them properly/get them from pet shops etc. all that kind of stuff. I'm really happy - her piggies live in a unique but lovely cage indoors, she takes them out for cuddles, brushes and bathes them, she even feed them on harringtons pellets etc. she even did a mini guinea pig haul in one of her videos which I didn't expect. Best of all they feature quite often in her videos..what do you (if you watch her videos) think?
 
My younger sister watches her & from what I've seen they look like very well looked after (gorgeous) piggies :) I like to think that any Zoella fans who went & got guinea pigs on impulse after seeing Zoe's have happy piggies as well!
 
I think i've talked about this before. Whilst I wasn't keen on the getting them from a pet shop thing I agree that they look happy and healthy and have bonded well (thankfully).

The one thing i'm not sure about it is in the vlogs they don't appear to have tons of hay, when this should be fed on an ad lib basis. Apart from that, i'm happy with how they're being kept and am just hopeful that anyone that follows suit is able to give their pigs the same environment, rather than just buying them because their role model has.
 
Hi x I have watched many of zoella's videos x
Her boys are gorgeous! Little pippin and Percy!
I agree with the other comments made. She feeds them on a decent pellet brand and gives bum baths and cuddles. So I think she's quite a good role model for kids who want pigs. I personally don't think she gives her boys many toys (tht rhymed)! They always look a little bored. I've also noticed she feeds kale ALOT! At first I didn't think her cage was big enough but I think it's ok now and it's very pretty x she has great videos!
 
I agree, she takes very good care of them and expresses how much she loves them all the time! She seemed really upset to leave them for a week when she went on holiday recently and as soon as they landed back home, the first thing she said was "we can't wait to see the boys, I've missed them so much!" I'm a bit of a fan of hers but she does take very good care of the little cuties
