IM ONLY 10 but this is helping me so much for learning about guinea pigs (which im getting soon) and i will have parental help with them
that’s amazing. and there’s always a community here for you to come to if you ever need help
Have you watched Autumn Grace too? Good luck with your new babies!
I’m 11 and in a similar situation as you
Me too I’m 12 and he really helps me learning what’s best for my 2 baby piggies
Not allowed youtube until ur 12 so u could get kicked off here for sating that. Also don’t share your age online (safety issue, especially if ur a minor)
I'm sure the girls were so relieved when they realized the boys weren't with them. I'm sure it was so stressful having the boys basically on top of them for who knows how long. I'm so happy you were able to save them, and honestly I think it's amazing you have a rescue to work with. People need to understand that while you are amazing with pigs and super knowledgeable, you're just one person. Rescues have multiple people with set resources and deal with adopting out all the time. They have what to do down pat! And as long as the piggies are saved, does it really matter who does it?!?
rather have him do it... now when u say so..about who.
he is just legit outstanding it makes me cry 😢
Jamie, I could not have said it any better, u r sooo correct, it does not matter WHO saves them, as long as they r saved, loved and cared for
I don't understand that people actually complained at this, they are not his pigg and he's just one person rescue, great that he's actually helping with rescuing them and found a rescue to help him with this horrible situation.
The piggy have there own chef jk lol
Made me so emotional to watch Ariel eat that critical care like that. She knew it was going to help her! Knowing the outcome I'm so proud of her!!
Yes I started crying! I know how hard it is to have to force-feed ill pigs to eat critical care so it's always an amazing sign if they take it on their own!
The way they all started squealing when they realized they had actual food and water, space, and enrichment broke my heart...poor piggies, but I'm so happy that they're happy now...Thank you. I know that work isn't easy and coordinating with others on it can be difficult, but I'm so happy you're there to beat all the challenges that come with rescuing cases like this one!
As a social worker, we were trained to try to find something positive. Sometimes that is extremely difficult. Keep up the good work Austin. The rescue wouldn’t have known about these piggies without you alerting them to it. Don’t let the haters keep you from making a difference.
👍👍👍
I'm a social worker too but in which context are we talking about here?
Oh my god .. little Ariel just captured my heart ... poor baby. When she put her head in your hands that had my tears just flooding down my cheeks.
Clay is so CUTE!! Such a handsome boy.
Thank you Austin for keeping Ariel.. she deserves you just as much as you deserve her💜 you are by far the best piggy dad EVER!
New subby… your compassion and care saved those sweet piggies. Your cages are like heaven on earth for them. You are a saint! Thank you for saving them!
I have to have respect for the guy who saw these guinea pigs in bad condition with a friend, recognized it, and took initiative to get them a better home. Any animal lover can see that they looked crowded, sick, and unwell, but a guinea pig novice would have no idea what they actually need, so it's just impressive that he took them away from the friend and found them a new home. And shoutout to you and your partner rescue for taking this on as well! It's a win win: the rescue gets promotion and you get to make awesome content!
Sorry in advance for the long post. I lost my lovely Javanais on january 22 and I wanted a new baby guinea pig, because my herd is getting older. There was a baby born at the rescue and I contacted them for adoption. A week before we would pick her up, the rescue send a message she had pneumonia. A day later, the piggy passed away. But they had a 3 year old girl that came from a very bad and long background and the rescue asked me to give her a chance (we did a couple of rescues from them in the past) She had several homes in solitude and her last owner gave her to the rescue with the explanation "We don't like her anymore" . So took on this little girl. She was underweigh, only 700g, but we took her in. She was eating fine and her fur looked healty, but she gained weigh and lost weigh without any reason. So when I had to go to the university clinic with one of my piggies for a check up, I took her along just to make sure. They gave me bad news: she has uterine cancer with metastasis to the bladder. All we can do is give her the best time ever. And we will untill it is time to say goodbye. But seriously, she is the most tame rescue piggy I ever had. Such a bundle of joy and I don't even have to get her out of the cage to give her the pain meds. She just takes it, I will have a hard time when it it time to say goodbye, but even if we are here for them for a short time, we still can make a difference ♥
I feel like the only thing anyone should be concerned about is where your heart lies instead of worrying about this “being more harmful” because I see your heart Austin & you have such a beautiful heart & soul, you go above & beyond for all of these piggies no matter what & I know those who truly support you see that as well. The motivation you have to get up everyday & do what you love to do is honestly so inspiring so keep doing it because it has been amazing to watch your channel & all that you’ve accomplished 🫶🏼💯💛
This exactly!
Beautifully said ❤️
Both should be considered.
Why would anyone say that rescuing would be more harmful? I can only see positive here
nevermind, I just got to that part of the video.
All this hate over his decision is ridiculous. He needs the capacity to take in more rescues instead of keeping and hoarding every pig. The “harmfulness of sending to rescues” is a weak argument. Obviously if a rescue has full capacity they wouldn’t take any more and they clearly wouldn’t offer to take these 12 pigs. It really makes me think that these haters have a selfish motive of only wanting to see Austin keep the pigs for his channel to see…
@@pricklypear1704 well said, my thoughts exactly.
I could NOT have given Ariel up. I am so so happy you will keep her and the other girl. Perfect choices, I look forward to seeing more of them! Ariel's little head in your hand, the obvious thank you, my eyes leaked and I couldn't stop it. You are the absolute best.
Yes those two are definitely adorable. I couldn’t have given Ariel up either
Thank you for your continued effort to rescue and care for these guinea pigs. Watching your videos always remind me that guinea pigs are indeed some of the most abandoned pets out there & they do need a lot of our caring and loving.
Yes you are an inspiration. Myself and four other people recently rescued 30 abandoned, orphaned baby piggys dumped at a vacant block. All doing well now.
Thank you all for saving them❤
I know I’m not the only one who cried *+ Last Christmas our guinea pig gave birth to 3 babies and only one survived we named her miracle because it was a miracle that she was alive because her mum was a rescue and she was really sick and she died after she gave birth and everything and for a baby to go through that it was basically impossible So miracle was perfect for her but she passed away two weeks ago+*thank you so much for saving them You are a miracle just like her God bless you
Ariel is one heck of a shieldmaiden and warrior! I was almost certain she wouldn't make it, seeing how bad she was the first day - I'm so grateful I was proven wrong.
I wish them all the best and that Fifi and Ariel will go well with the herd. I'm also hoping the unborn ones will be healthy when they come to this world that definitely won't be as gruesome as their mom and dad had to live in.
Ariel has a special place in my heart, her eyes told me more than a thousand words even though she has no idea who I am.
Thank you for doing this, Austin.
And of course, thank you to Porcellus Guinea Pig Rescue for reaching out a helping hand.
♥
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for the love and care you gave the poor little baby girl Guinea pig ( and of course ALL of them) but seeing her and how she was and THEN when she knew that you would help her was AMAZING! Love this channel and thank you!👍😀❤️
If you hadn't gotten her when you did, she probably would have died. You have done wonders for her and the others. So grateful to you for your care. Love you for that! I love piggies so much that they touch my heart in such a deep way. She is so darn cute. Just so much love for those piggies!
No probably to it she didn't have long for this world if it weren't for him. God bless him for having so much love in his heart for these little fur babies
omg thats so sad i cried when i saw her resting in your hands its so sad she had to go through all that
You inspired me to do a rescue of my own recently. I got 2 pigs off of an Australian version of Craigslist. 1 boy and 1 girl that had been living together in a pet store cage. So I immediately thought the girl was pregnant.
Anyways. I picked them up with all their stuff. Only to find that the people’s house smelled amazing, so they had candles or something going. The bedding that the pigs were using was strawberry scented and hay was only used as a treat.
They also both had mites.
I got them home and separated. They have nice soft fleece and a hay pile each, I named them George and Penelope and penny is definitely pregnant. Due very soon. They are both skin and bones so I have been feeding critical care. But without you I wouldn’t have been inspired to do this and you are amazing for not only helping all the pigs you have physically helped but you are amazing for inspiring people from around the world to do good for our little furry potato friends. The world need more people like you Austin. ❤❤
You are such an angel❤i hope they get to a healthy weight too….i also have both of my guinea pigs as rescues, both were very skinny but not sick (thank god) and with veggies and hay that i knew will help they are so happy now❤ always popcorning and stretching
How’s Penelope! Has she given birth? It’s amazing that you saved them!
Bless you 🥹🩷
The amount I cried over Ariel is ridiculous. I would have been so triggered if you hadn't have kept her lol
Awh I was balling my eyes out when poor little Ariel was so sick 😭 I'm so glad she's feeling better and has a wonderful new home now, thank you for saving them all 💚
I’m tearing up watching you feed that precious baby as I’m holding my baby piggy. I keep telling her- no way you’ll get scurvy!
I started crying when that sweet baby rested in your hands after eating her critical care. I love my girls so much it’s so sad to think of other piggies not getting the love and care they deserve. Thank you for helping them ❤
U probably won’t c this, but that poor piggy that is sick looked like she rested her head n ur hands like she just wanted love ❤😢
that little girl broke my heart, hope they are doing okey and a really big thanks and a really big hug to you
Ariel looks like she has a special bond with the little black n white piggie she is napping with.
Rescues have more resources for placements so it is good that you work with them you find the ones that need help make sure they are health and then they get them homes it is a beautiful partnership
I got so tearful with this rescue ! How do people think this is ok
Way to go! You are doing so much to help out little Piggys in distress. For me, I have five Piggys myself, three boys and two girls. Point to note, all of them are rescues. A while back I caught on to the fact that rescued Piggys need good homes. Buying them from the store doesn't help as much as it tends to encourage more breeding for profit. To share one of their stories, one of my boys had to be taken into protective custody. He was covered in feces and urine and weighed only around 800 grams when recovered. They nursed him back to health and we adopted him. Now, George is his name, is 5 1/2 years old, lives in a 6' x 2' cage and is buffed out at 1500 grams (has been for a quite while actually.) Keep up the good work!
When people talk about pet store cages to me, I always say take your breakfast, lock yourself in a half bathroom and live there for 24 hours, that's where you'll eat, sleep, wash, toilet, everything, now think about living there for many years, that's what a small animal in the wrong cage lives their whole life
I used to keep *one* young chinchilla in what I think is the double height version of that cage. My chinchilla liked to climb and jump, so he was okay with the 45° ramps, but I feel like piggies wouldn't be too keen on that. To protect his feet we had to put cardboard on all of the mesh floors, we had additional wooden shelves he could sit on too, and he got a daily run outside the cage as well.
Whoever thought of putting guinea pigs in this cage hasn't researched their needs.
I am the owner of five guinea pigs and i have to say you are awsome
I was so lucky to have one piggy for about a week. She was going to a very caring young girl for Christmas. This one piggy was hiding most of the time when I first got her. I found out she loves lettuce. She started getting use to me and would let me know when she wanted something we were having. I couldn't believe she could smell a banana from 6 feet away. I only gave her a small slice but I knew she wanted more. In the end I had a hard time letting her go to her new home. Maybe one day I can get 2 females to come live with us. Thanks for the video.
It would be cool for a future video if you collabed wirh the rescue place that you surrender do and maybe do a tour around there site !! Might be nice to see where the piggies go :)
The sad music you put in made me think someone's gonna be dead on arrival
First and wow this must have been sad and cool! I just rescued 13 piggy’s too they were sent to my rescue local!! Thanks for the tips and showing us this! Question do you read comments! Love you Austin and so sorry abt jojo
Who else is gana miss Jo-Jo?
Thank you for saving the pigs
The way the sick one rested on your hands got me tears eyed.
I had two guinea pigs, and one was just recently put down. He got sick, recovered- and then got sick again. The second sickness lasted for over three days before my dad put him down. We cried for hours that night, and multiple times afterward.
Seeing these guinea pigs not have to go through the kind of suffering he did eases my soul, even with entirely different situations... these pigs dealt with being in the same small and decrepit enclosure for so long- and seeing them recover, especially the most unhealthy one and with such a quickness... it warms my heart.
I really hope little Ariel feels much better soon. You’re doing a great job with her and she’s already starting to look better.❤❤❤🎉
The sweet girl when she was snuggling with you during feeding and medicine time :( that made me cry omg
The wobbly sck one broke my heart 😭
For some reason when you were putting the first boys in the name MURPHY just screamed in my head.
The little dark brown boy is so cute and the small black one with black spots on its whilte markings too so cute
I think they are eric and wendy i feel like wendy is my type of pig i love working with shy pigs hope she finds a wonderful home
Of course the abyssinians were the most vocal pigs lol, great rescue as always!
A fellow enby pig lover!! Same hat!! :D
As a fellow enby who's looking at getting guineas are Abyssinians very vocal usually?
43:11 Aww it looks like she’s smiling. Ariel really captured my heart and I’m so glad she’s been doing better. Thank you so much for doing these rescues ❤
The way they went straight for that hay! like they'd never seen a more beautiful sight!
Also, you should call your sewing room you’re sewing room, but you should also call it the rescue room
I originally had 15 guinea pigs and we just adopted out from my local rescue we adopted out at least we haven’t checked the females yet for babies we just got them like literally like an hour ago but least we have at least 13 we got three babies
I’m so happy you kept Ariel and maybe Fifi and her can bond or something like that.
22:21 my heart man...
it´s amazing hoiw big they grow up, AND HEALTHY, they changed so much, you are amazing
Poor baby girl. I’m sat in tears!
thank you so much for doing that for those pigs. i myself rescued one pig he was alone and had no friends. he was living in a small petsmart cage. now he’s happy living in a 2 by 6 with a friend and they are both enjoying life.
Gosh, I don't understand how anyone could treat an animal like this! Good to see them in a much better home
Them
Piggies are so happy now
Thank you for helping these lovely animals! We rescued rats for 7 years but the heartbreak just became too much. We had 2 wobbly rats and the way you cared for the wobbly piggy was beautiful! She was so happy to meet you! ❤
Thank you so much for saving these piggies i love our girl Ariel hope she is doing good fefe is so cute! And i hope our solo meanie boy gets familiar with friends
I couldn't go in my fridge without my piggies being very vocal for a carrot. If I was eating popcorn she got Bocas also. She loved carrots and popcorn and yogurt treats
Hii not trying to be rude but popcorn and yogurt is very bad for guinea pigs they shouldn't be eating that
Connie died?! That hurts. Im glad you still saved 10 though
Thank you for rescuing the piggies, you are a good person.
Don't ever stop the little critters need people like you 💜
NO! THAT CAGE! Rabbits are fine on wire. But Guinea pigs. Dang. I’m glad you helped them.
I don't know if people realize how much of a community resource that rescues are. Having animals in the rescue facility that their employees or volunteers care for is maybe only half of the work they do. TNR programs, financial aid for unexpected vet bills or spaying/neutering, foster programs, administrative assistance for adopting out animals, community outreach and education, partnerships with animal control and law enforcement for the seizure of animals from poor conditions, and so much more. Rescues are built and designed in such a way to provide for a community, and even if they're crowded, there's so much benefit to working with rescues.
As someone who's done this for a while, I'm also going to add that within the first five minutes of this you checked every box I have for good, ethical rescue work (including not directly bashing the previous owners, while pointing out the problems relating to husbandry. In my experience that one seems to be the hardest for people to do because of all the emotions that come with seeing animals in poor shape). You're doing amazing and I'm so glad you've caught the bug for this difficult and rewarding line of work. I really hope to see more from you in the future!
Topher 😂 such a perfect name for the crazy little boy!
Also to add, since that little once wasn't getting what it needed, it could possibly have Scurvy.
OMG I nearly cried when little Ariel started to walk & eat herself... Bless her little heart. She looked at death's door when she arrived, i think you rescued her just in time. She would have been dead by the morning if you hadn't taken such loving care of her. I'm so pleased you will be keeping Ariel & Fifi such cute names for such sweet girls 🙂👍
I was so hoping you were going to keep Ariel!! I also agree Fifi is the prettiest
I bet the piggies are like hey this new guy is awesome. We get all this good food an he cleans up our mess and is so nice.
I got very emotional seeing Ariel in the beginning 🥺So happy for her, thank you, Austin for saving her!
Thank heavens for people like your self
You should keep putting that sick one in front of the water bottle and in front of the hay and pellets and check all the front teeth if you haven’t already! I feel so bed for her!
This was an emotional rescue. I foresee a very deep bond forming between you and Ariel.
Thank you for changing their lives. And a huge ty to the person that saw the state they were in originally and taking action to protect the innocent and give them this wonderful opportunity for a beautiful life. We need more ppl like that.
i love the pregnant mom shes so pretty
I was literally tearing up with Arielle in the beginning even though I KNEW she gets better because I follow you on Insta. Just so hard to watch how poorly the piggies were treated! I'm so glad that you found them and saved their lives. May the little darlings be happy for the rest of their days ❤
I work at a petco with (thankfully) a very good team who are always on top of animal care. Before i took over the animal leader position, there was a woman who brought in a guinea pig who had a neurological issue from getting forced into a hamster ball.... His name was willy, and he reminds me so much of poor little Ariel. He was so bad, that when he was first brought in he couldn't stand At All. It took about 2 or 3 weeks, but we were able to get him back into a more alive state, though he was left with a permanent inability to walk in a straight line ... Anytime he wanted to get from A to B, he'd take loops because he veered so heavily to the left. He was such a sweetheart, and was always excited to see anyone! Always ravenous for his doses of critical care, and that syringe of delicious goop was his main encouragement to get up and walk again! I miss him a lot, but I'm glad we got him healthy and the journey of treating him was something really special to experience❤
Ha ha I LOVE the fact that you called the feisty one Allie/Ellie/Ali/Ally as every one of us I have met have definitely been feisty :P
😢 watching the rescue of the 12 owner surrenders
I was literally crying for her ❤❤
Same here 😭😢💔but look at her NOW!! 😮😃😄
Had a little cry over that tiny poorly piggy .. they're in piggy paradise now ❤❤❤love your work .. these special little creatures deserve all the love xx
29:48 bruh, these pigs have a gourmet chef! ✨✨✨
Awe, these babies were so happy when they were put into their new cages 😭😭💕 their little squeaks say everything
As a person that love Guinea pig o can confirm that this was the best person what a legend
I'm involved with a guinea pig sanctuary in the UK. Thank you for helping these guys. Its incredibly stressful when you have a poorly piggie to care for but with syringe feeding and Emeraid which piggies seem to love as well as good quality hay they usually pick up and with your care Im sure this little girl will start to thrive.
I started tearing up when the critical hampster got on your hand.
I know its an older video but it gave me goosebumps.
Thank you for doing this. You're not only changing the piggies lives, but also their future owners lives.
I am amazing at your energy and efficiency like wow
when i saw this sick pig it made me remember mine. she had cancer and her last 2 days looked just like her or maybe worse...? she also could't stand straight, few hourse before she died she wasn't able to stand on her little feet. no eating, drinking, moving. that's something i will never forget. it's been a year now and when i think of her i start to cry ALWAYS. she was a lovely pig, really lovely.
I think the crate is 4/3 or possibly chinchillas maybe
As a young Guinea pig owner this pains my heart so much. When I saw their outgrown nails and hair loss especially on the frail one it really made me sad, they deserve all the healthy veggies and Timothy hay in the world
At least they knew that they weren't taking care of them right and got them outta there because of that.
you and what you do is amazing and so informational! keep being swag!!💗 im setting up my rats new cage while watching🌺
Thank you❤❤❤
This story warms my heart. I feel bad for the owner that paid for each of them just to save them and try to find them a good home. They had an amazing heart to want to do that and they were so selfless to realize they didn't have the knowledge to take care of them properly. I'm so glad they got to your place and then the rescue after this to find wonderful homes. You did good here, the previous owner did good, and the rescue is a life saver!
I’m so happy you are keeping Arielle (and Fifi). They are both so cute. I’m glad she is doing better and can’t wait to see their progress.
You need to invest in a shop vac. It'll cut down cleaning time 1000%.
I cant recall the brand, but that cage they were in looks exactly like a somewhat popular brand of rat cage
Austin, You are amazing! thank God for people like you and Saskia!
I can’t wait to see your bond with Ariel grow and see her flourish in your care!
TYSM for rescuing these pigs you can tell they know they are being saved😢
This shows that there’s still kind people around the world ❤
