I’m in the US and panicked when I saw the uncovered enclosure…I keep forgetting that you don’t have the same predators in the UK! 🤦🏻♀️ Once that little brain fart passed I was able to admire this absolutely gorgeous and well thought out enclosure! Well thought out and brilliantly executed piggy paradise! So glad these rescue piggies have such an amazing place to live 🐹🥰
The details in there are incredible! The wanted posters, the gnawed through jail wall, the little train etc. I'm sure those little piggies already love it!
Its even better now they have trained them to do shoot outs! (for food) its even better than their other zoo displays the bidgie in a cage and the gold fish bowl!
So glad to see the piggies settling in! Love the jail hide! "What are you in for"? "I didn't do nuffin', I'm innocent" !! 🐹 Absolutely love what you and your wonderful team have done 👏👏
Fluffy. Tiny. Piggies. Living. Sausage.......... SO FREAKING CUTE ! How can you resist their cuteness ? I could hug them every day, hearing thei little "Squik Squik" cries when you rub their tummies
I love this.... brilliant introduction!! It's great to see the guinea pigs starting to get out and enjoy their amazing enclosure and buildings. Fantastic job team!! They are so cute 🥰 Thank you for your videos - helps those of us who are hundreds of miles away to enjoy the zoo between visits!!
Awesome! I love guinea pigs and this enclosure seems fantastic. Not only for the little pigs but also for the public with all those cute details. Thanks for pointing out how they *should* be kept and setting an example.
Can't wait to have my zoo keeper experience here and see all the Gertie's piggies at Hog Springs. I actually have a couple of Gertie's piggies of my own! Best to be aware that some piggies can develop bloat with too much grass though, especially if not used to it. I'm sure you guys are all knowledgeable on this stuff though and more a warning to new guinea pig owners.
It’s so satisfying to see Guinea pigs given such a wonderful and enriching living space. So many are improperly cared for, but this looks like a piggy paradise! The creativity is also rlly cool :)
I volunteer for a guinea pig rescue in Australia, and this video was posted by a member of our support group. I am SO impressed! I've seen some horrendous set-ups in "zoos" ... sad. This enclosure has been well thought out - the only change I would make would be to put an open shelter over a small portion of the enclosure, so even when wet visitors could see the guinea pigs out and about - but that will be easy to add later. I was also impressed with the information signs ... all correct! And the one desexed male with his "harem" is perfect for a harmonious herd. Obviously the Rescue (Gertie's?) has had a big hand in the development. HOORAH! Well done! I hope it is an amazing success.
Thank you for your message! We are so pleased you love the exhibit. Having a sun shade is a great idea, we’ve got a few up in other exhibits so will certainly consider that 😎 thank you for watching 🙏🏻
This is wonderful! You did a great job in providing a fantastic stimulating yet safe environment for those piggies, and at the same time it's visually so pleasing for the human eye 😊 I also appreciate the educational aspect and I hope with time people learn how to give pets a good life and act more responsibly.
This is my dream! I have 23 piggies. I adore them and spend a great deal of time and money in them. They are my babies and I would love to open an actual rescue one day!
Hog Springs looks like a patch of Heaven. I had a toy Fisher Price brand Little People wild west saloon where I let my pigs play. I have a Lidl stepping stool too. L
This is incredible, the cutest thing I've seen ❤ Such amazing work by the team to create it, detail is fantastic. Can't wait to come and see the piggies 😍
This is the most incredible enclosure I've ever seen for these little guys, if I lived in the UK I'd be planning to visit, love the effort and information provided for kids, so lovely
I love Guinea Pigs and I love what you’ve done! Now you need a little railroad with a little restaurant called “ The Whistle Stop”. We have one in Safety Harbor, FL. . I’m sure they would approve!
there used to be a series years ago on public access networks. I think u.s. but might have been u.k. too. where a person voiced various animals and basically had a little story going. You could possibly do voice over stories for them as they go about their day. a little bit of promotion to add to the channel
I just love this wonderfully, creative and spacious home you have created for these beautiful piggies. This is exactly how Ginnie pigs should be kept. I have 3 Ginnie pigs now and have been a Ginnie pig owner since 1990 but I have never been able to provide them with such a beautiful spacious home as this. This has given me a goal to provide even better for my Ginnie pigs although they have a spacious home inside and a run outside I do not have the space to make it as big for them. I most definitely would recommend a big run and heated shed for your Ginnie pigs dear owners. Be never a small cadge that you find in pet stores. They love to run and can run for miles at a time. They are designed to live on the Forrest floor under tall grasses and graze all day long ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never mind cute, that there’s a darn good western pardner. Hee heee hee. Which one is Clint I bet he’s the best shot. And the music what great chords What is it.? Can’t wait to play it on my geetaar.
So interesting, thank you! I try to enrich my GPs' lives with trick training. Tey live indoors. It would be great to have an outside enclosure but I don't have a garden. Thanks for educating the public about these often-misunderstood animals! They really don't belong in the hands of children or in small hutches
This is perfect for me!! Made my own western village a few years ago, but used to how shall I say... light materials, so thats a gost town now 😬 been using your video's as a how to and started building yesterday. Thanks a lot!! Hope I can comme look at it in person one day ❤❤
You can tell most the piggies you've shown that they're not used to being out in big open spaces by the way they walk close to the ground, give them a month and they'll be running around like it's nothing..

Haha you are not the only one.. the UK is sadly lacking predators - but the piggies are safe so that’s ok! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
We have predatory birds, but only in certain areas. The piggies are safe.
But they still can't stay there year round because temperatures under 50 F will kill them..
@@roachmorphine8018 many people in the U.K. have outdoors piggies. They have a warm shelter to go on and all is well.
Yeah, we hunted all the predators to extinction. Nothing left but foxes and badgers.
The details in there are incredible! The wanted posters, the gnawed through jail wall, the little train etc. I'm sure those little piggies already love it!
We are so pleased with how it came out and pleased that you love it! ❤️ thanks for watching!
@@NorthumberlandZoo Of course, you're very welcome. Keep up the good work!
This is so cool!! An absolute paradise for the piggies!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Its even better now they have trained them to do shoot outs! (for food) its even better than their other zoo displays the bidgie in a cage and the gold fish bowl!
West Texas approval!! So cute! and brilliantly done. lol, lol, lol.
Thank you 😎
So glad to see the piggies settling in! Love the jail hide!
"What are you in for"?
"I didn't do nuffin', I'm innocent" !! 🐹
Absolutely love what you and your wonderful team have done 👏👏
So glad you love it, thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Wonderful to see the guys settling in - paradise for them - such a wonderful job of mixing fun setting with their welfare at the core
This is the coolest enclosure I've ever seen! lots of houses to hide, space to run and fresh air♥ I bet they are super happy 🥰
Fluffy. Tiny. Piggies. Living. Sausage.......... SO FREAKING CUTE ! How can you resist their cuteness ? I could hug them every day, hearing thei little "Squik Squik" cries when you rub their tummies
How lovely to give the rescue pigs such a beautiful home

I’m loving it, the best Guinea pig town.

I think the setup is beautiful. They should be really happy piggies. I think it's just awesome what you're doing taking such good care of the babies.
Thank you for your kind comment! The piggies are getting more and more brave every day, seeing them darting between the high street is amazing.
It’s so satisfying to see Guinea pigs given such a wonderful and enriching living space. So many are improperly cared for, but this looks like a piggy paradise! The creativity is also rlly cool :)
I love it. I'm glad that there are a lot of people who love guinea pigs.
I want to live here.
Theres room at the Inn!
You need to let the sheriff know the piggies are escaping the cells. 😂
Absolutely brilliant 5:25 ❤
This was ADORABLE!! Just PRECIOUS!!
This looks amazing! The guinea pigs are clearly loving it. I think little cowboy hats are definitely needed.
This is so cute! Thank you for caring for these cuties
This place looks like a perfect place to meditate surrounded by fluffy wheek wheeks.
This is so adorable 😍 I want to live there with the piggies 😍❤
Absolutely marvelous. Thank you for taking such good care of these little ones. 😊
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Beautiful! So well done. Love this ! Thank you for sharing................
Finally, I've been waiting for an update on the " town"!!! Wowie, all that grass!
Thanks for watching, took awhile for the weather to brighten up and the piggies to get braver 🥰
Hog Springs looks like a patch of Heaven. I had a toy Fisher Price brand Little People wild west saloon where I let my pigs play. I have a Lidl stepping stool too. L
Aww, I love it! Added this place to my list next time I visit the UK 😍
Wow, looks amazing, great job on the town and raising awareness on how to keep these little guys and giving them the best life possible ❤
Thank you for rescuing all the piggies and making sure they don't have more babies! The enclosure looks lovely, those are some lucky guinea pigs 🖤
This is so cool. Looks like the pigs are having a great time with it all. I love guinea pigs. 😍😘
Way too cute!

Totally amazing! What a beautiful rescue for little Piggies!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd love to see something similar with bunnies! So cool!
Great idea!
You just need a Guinea-Big Sheriff cousin! (That's a capybara!!)
I love Guinea Pigs and I love what you’ve done! Now you need a little railroad with a little restaurant called “ The Whistle Stop”. We have one in Safety Harbor, FL. . I’m sure they would approve!
So great they're all rescues ❤❤❤
It’s an absolute piggie palace'!!!😍
Great article in Guinea Pig Magazine all about this guinea pig exhibit.
Amazing job. They live a great life with you.

Love this so much! Love guineapigs
Really cool idea. These little guys are very lucky.
This is so cool, well done, I love it :-)
What a lot of of fun you must have!

That sounds like a great idea! We need a bigger team 🤓
Absolutely love it!

Beautiful town for cute creature's. 😊
Sure a cool habitat ❤❤❤❤
OH this is so cool.
fantastic!! All your hard work is paying off. : )
Amazingly cute!
Herd\/\/ and ty for rescuing these little guys❤
Western Town for guinea pigs. What a great idea ❤
Never mind cute, that there’s a darn good western pardner. Hee heee hee. Which one is Clint I bet he’s the best shot. And the music what great chords What is it.? Can’t wait to play it on my geetaar.
Wow! Goals!! Lovely video!

Thanks for educating the public about these often-misunderstood animals! They really don't belong in the hands of children or in small hutches
Do you have a husbandry manual for your guinea pigs?
I hope this isn't a silly question...
Seven days without a piggy video make me wheek! Lol 😘🐹❤️
I guess you are aware of mr. Grimes of Australia. If not, have a look. His feeding regime is brilliant and so is their habitat.
So cool!
That looks incredibly good. I had guinea pigs and i wish they lived long enough to see it. Now my rats do :)
Thank you, our guinea pigs deserve nothing less! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
This is amazing! A dream come true!!! reminds me of my parents basement growing up : )
I absolutely love this 👏👏👏 BRAVO 🤩🥰🤩❤
If that were my guniea pig theyed be would get the zoomies!
This is perfect for me!! Made my own western village a few years ago, but used to how shall I say... light materials, so thats a gost town now 😬 been using your video's as a how to and started building yesterday. Thanks a lot!! Hope I can comme look at it in person one day ❤❤
I'd love to see a video or photos of that project. Sounds awesome
this is amazing
This is my dream! ❤
I would love to see a tutorial of your hideys, they’re incredible!
Check out the other videos on the Northumberland Zoo TH-cam channel. There was series of videos showing how the buildings were made.

Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

Wunderschöne Meerschweinchenstadt ❤❤❤
Lovely home for them!
I wouldn’t like to clean it though 😎
Well done 👍
Love love love!!
You can tell most the piggies you've shown that they're not used to being out in big open spaces by the way they walk close to the ground, give them a month and they'll be running around like it's nothing..
thanks
Wonderful!!
Oh I love this!
Very cool!! I love guinea pigs & raised them since age 6....their nocturnal tho.
This is Awesome 😎
