However, videos of guinea pigs are few and far between. Where does your love for rodents come from? How did you come up with the idea to post videos of your furry friends?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As a child, I was always enthusiastic about guinea pigs. What fascinated me most was the fact that they each have their own unique personality, and they show it off very openly. For instance, if I\u2019m not fast enough distributing food, they\u2019ll be rough or try to tear the bowl out of my hand!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Guinea Pig Merchandise | Little Adventures Shop\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/feGwCjxLOJY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Initially, I only wanted to share videos with my mother. YouTube started suggesting other animal video channels, and that\u2019s when I discovered that there is a real guinea pig community. I started making my own info videos hoping that others would see how tame, friendly, and open-minded the animals can be (especially in larger groups). I don\u2019t only enjoy filming my animals; I also enjoy all of the other required tasks (cutting the video, generating ideas, etc.). Therefore, I always focused on scheduled upload days and enjoying the hobby.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You are very active on YouTube and Instagram, as you regularly share photos and videos of your guinea pigs. How did you guide rodent fans to your profiles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I never really advertised my videos, and I never expected the channel to have so many followers. Over time, I realized that many other people were liking these videos. Some appreciate the explanatory videos because they want to learn more about guinea pigs, while others just enjoy watching the animals live their lives.<\/p>\n<div class='wp-caption aligncenter sprd-caption'>\n<div class='wp-caption-inner'><picture><img width=\"1400\" height=\"800\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjgwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"\" data-public-id=\"blog\/Featured_SoM_Designs_Models_1_nmqc6x.jpg\" class=\"wp-post-17503 wp-image-17586\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1528733334\" data-size=\"1400 800\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>How do you increase your subscriber count?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I have always stuck to a strict upload schedule, even when I had less than 10 subscribers.

Do the four really have their own individual fanbase?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes. Every guinea pig is different, so people have their favorites. Some prefer \u2018Little One,\u2019 who always holds his face to the camera and is very active. Others appreciate \u2018Sylvester,\u2019 who is calm, relaxed, and eats hay in every shot. Overall, my guinea pigs are not afraid of the camera and like showing their personality.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do you create the designs yourself? Or did you hire someone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I commissioned a graphic artist to draw the guinea pigs as cartoon characters. Unfortunately, I have absolutely zero drawing talent.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much time do you spend running your Spreadshop?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I spend about two hours a week. If I want to upload a design with new lettering\/typography, then it will take a bit longer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do you think the guinea pig designs are a market niche? Do you ever get special design requests from your fans, and do you fulfill those wishes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I hope people like my designs and are happy when they wear them. Generally, the designs showcase my guinea pigs and are based on my channel. Occasionally, fans will want designs with the cartoon version of the guinea pigs, and these don\u2019t directly connect to my channel. Those designs have been created, and the hope is that they\u2019ll appeal to all guinea pig lovers. Ultimately, that\u2019s a direction I want to pursue\u2026 guinea pig designs with funny sayings, independent of my YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bc2hucQADGk\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
