Vets do NOT know how to educate their Guinea pig owners about their care. Your education online is really helpful. My vet didn’t tell me about boy Guinea pig care for their boy parts which is extra important.
So true I had to show my vet the impacting of a guinea pig and how to clean it out he didn't even know it had a pocket in there! Thanks to your Video'S I did it myself whole lot Cheaper👈🏼😁
Usually it's best to take guinea pigs to vets for exotic pets (who treat pets such as spiders, snakes, etc) instead of the regular ones for dogs and cats. Saskia does great work, but she gets things wrong sometimes too.
Well they don't look purposely abused and not afraid of people, must definitely be someone that started on hard times. I'm sure they'll get adopted in no time.
It’s sad that the bar is so low but let’s appreciate when people take piggies where they think they’ll get taken care of instead of killing them or throwing them in a dumpster as we’ve heard about. Obviously they shouldn’t have signed up for the commitment in the first place but it is the adult thing to do, to admit you’re not capable and give them to someone who is. Cowards wouldn’t try to come up with a solution.
Yeah I'd rather people didn't make a habit of shaming people for this. The important thing is that the pigs get the care they need, and piling onto the former owners will just encourage even worse outcomes.
They're not being mature at all. If you have to give up your pet, give it to actual people and don't dump it on their front door. The animals can die due to unexpected weather conditions, stress, starvation/dehydration, an illness not being treated soon enough. They've already had guinea pigs freeze to death and die of heatstroke because someone dumped them like this. It's cowardly no matter how you try and twist it.
Horrible how these beautiful and cute animals are discarded like they're worthless. I love the Brindle Abyssinian at 5:40. I had one when I was young - she was a beautiful soul!!
When saskia say dont do this i think then :don't buy animals! for all the ones who are not able to care of them. That's a thing what should known before to buy some and not after. But i think the most people who's watching this are responsible owner who would never do something like that. And who does should pay a lot of money for the rescue or shelter where the animals was found or have to help there out to see what they have done and what kind of human they are. Without this people the Shelters and rescues wouldn't be so full and the poor animals would have a lovely home
People are so messed up. I wish we could report all of these people for animal neglect and abuse. We literally can't because if they knew they'd get in trouble they would probably destroy the animal or let it lose in the wild instead of surrendering it. I love how you guys are honest and say what is on your mind. Many animal channels sugar coat terrible pet owners as to not offend anymore.
Beautiful boys really. And if the owner sees this video :shame on you!!!! Wish you not the best for your life for this abusing!!! 🤮😠💩Wish you eould found and have to pay a lot of money to the rescue for all the cost they have for it!! Thank you again izzy saskia and all the others.
So glad Izzy found this. I remember you mentioning this on the live last Saturday. This is why I keep suggesting having a night time volunteer If possible or cameras around the property. I feel like something has to be done or this will NOT STOP🛑 But what do I know, maybe there just is no solution. I just HATE the thought of another pig dying from the cold and sitting in a filthy cage. Is there nothing at all you can do about this. If you have someone you can trust to guard your property at night at least take in a guinea pig dump when it happens or something. I just don't want to see another pig die like that poor one that froze to death. This is also very sad seeing the condition the pig was in.🐹🐹
@@rue353 As Saskia has told others you have to know when to say no Otherwise you risk becoming a hoarder. She'll only take in as many pigs as she can afford to. She takes in a LOT, but she can't save them all. Those pigs were lucky Izzy found them. The last time two pigs were dumped off in the middle of the night. One froze to death. She's got to do something.
@@rue353 Great news about that. Saskia from Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue 6 hours ago We are working on cameras Brigitte! The new Live Sale on the the 6th will help pay for that!!🌻 She's going to get one ❗💯🐹🐹👍
I understand you wanting a camera, but cameras are deterrents against people entering the property if they seen one in the first place. What happens if someone who wants to give up their piggies sees the camera, and doesn't want to be identified but has no other choice but to place the guinea pigs into better care? Some might just leave and abandon them somewhere where they'll die for sure, or kill them themselves. Yes they've arrived in bad conditions, yes some have not survived, but isn't the guarantee of knowing Izzy will get them care better than never knowing where the piggies end up?
Some people dump animals because shelters have waiting lists to take them in. I adopted two cats here in the U.K. last year because their owner had to move to pet free accommodation and no shelter would take them. I really didn’t need two more cats but there was no other option
Saskia, You are such a Awesome person and you have such a Beautiful heart!! I learn so much from you!! Oh By the way I'm the one that sent the 2 tripods this week. My name is Rachel Kim from Toronto, Canada. Sorry I forgot to include a gift message.
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue Yes. I think my address is on the package as well. It says is was delivered Thursday Evening near front porch. I hope I got your address right. It could be late...
I just want to say Thank you Saskia. Most of what I know about guineas has come from watching your videos. I now have four happy little chonkers, Chubbs, Brain, MoJoe, and Harold.
When you showed the inside of the carrier, i genuinely thought you were showing the inside of a dumpster!!! Disgusting. Poor little babies must have been freezing & so scared.
It seems strange, like thieves in the night, everything happens from 11pm till 3am morning. Neighbours who secretly swing and killings, dumping, stealing, etc stc.
Saskia, I'd like to thank you for letting me know about the soy pet food. I've been mixing mine with safer pellets for a few weeks now. I'd like to decrease the chance of cancer for my sweet girls.
I don't know if you guys see this, but if you do, I want to share that a few days ago over 200 animals were dumped at a shelter in the city of Zwolle in the Netherlands. I heared it on the news while at work. I remember them saying there were rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters(?).. But yea. I know the shelters in the Netherlands don't have it easy, but this is unemaginable. I can't picture a wall with over 200 cages up against it. it's that crazy....
See the problem is people think animals are animals and they need to be treated like animals as longest they have a place to sleep food and water besides that they are so cute yes definitely any animal are cute when they are babies but remember people to please use your brain and know that these babies are going to grow and the bigger they get the more responsibilities and once they become more responsibilities and gets harder for you to handle does not gives the right to abandon them please before you get an animal think use your brain cells and know that having its ok but they are alot of responsibility time consuming and sometimes expensive if you not ready PLEASE DONT GET any, I have 2 dogs 4 cats 3 turtles 1 geico 2 guinea pigs and fish with some friends inthe tank yes from time to I get frustrated specially with the pigs they demand alot constantly but at the end of the day these are all my babies and I make sure they are all well taken care of day and night I brought it into my life now they are my responsibility the dogs and cats have the house and the piggies a room just for them they are all happy and fat 😊
I don't think that will work. I think if we do not control the surrender process I do believe that sadly it will be going to get out of hand real fast. We receive 15 calls a day about surrenders a day. In order to distinguish between a hoarder and true rescue is; when to say no. And know how far your budget is going to last, what is feasible how many animals can you provide with high quality care. We know what out limit is.
Saskia I understand. I do animal rescue and I know how many animals are sent to a shelter. What if you put up a sign telling them what you told us? Maybe if they understood the other options and dangers they would take the pigs to the shelter. Maybe it will slow it down.
I'm thankful that you guys are teaching proper care for guinea pigs. It's because of you guys I know what to do so thank you so much! It makes me sad when people dump guinea pigs like this. They're precious little souls.
If anyone has a tractor supply co around them or wants to order online you can get 50lbs of Timothy hay for $20!! It’s $20 for a delivery because it’s so heavy. So I buy 2 (100lbs for $40) and do the $20 delivery. I have not bought hay in a long time.
Such lovely boys ❤️❤️ I couldn’t imagine leaving them out in the cold, at night 😭 so many other options and that’s one of the worst :( Standing in their own excrement because there’s no absorbency beneath them…. In a flimsy, light carrier that provides basically no protection from the elements, in an area with coyotes…at night when they may not be found until many hours later 😞 How is that better than going to a shelter? An unlikely risk of the shelter euthanising is much better than a risk of them being brutally eaten or freezing to death :/ Izzy has earned all the late nights out he wants I think 😜
I had a friend years ago that bought her daughter a Guinea pig from the pet store and about 2 months later it had babies. She was not the best at taking care of pets and it ended up they kept breeding and pretty soon it was a mess. Sad story. 😔
We are not by you ( Illinois) but around here you can buy a large round bail of Stanlee Timothy grass for $20. It's a lot of hay and very nice quality.
The previous owner trusted you to care for them, and wanted the best for them. The trouble they went to was to bring them to you. The action of abandon wasn't appropriate yet I personally feel some form of "love" could be behind the dump for Joey and Chandler are in the BEST of hands. The writing of the note, perhaps a child or a limited individual? Mind you, I tend to have my own way of seeing things yet I do not see malice in this abandon. Thank you Saskia for being who you are. You're the best...
When the rescues start judging = rescue burnout. We’re all to blame as our societal sees everything as a profit not a living being. Info should be posted at the common abandonment areas as so many other rescues do. Start judging and desperate people will make more desperate- usually terrible choices. Which usually doesn’t bode well for the animal. Take care, stay safe.
As Saskia has told others you have to know when to say No. Otherwise you risk becoming a hoarder. She'll only take in as many pigs as she can afford to. She takes in a LOT, but she can't save them all. Those pigs were lucky Izzy found them. The last time two pigs were dumped off in the middle of the night. One froze to death. She's got to do something. An NO this wont completely stop the problem, she also just can't keep taking more pigs in when she's full to the max. I think cameras might not only save a pig being dumped but they might reveal something interesting like it turns out to be someone who's been ton her rescue before. Maybe not but having some cameras is better than doing nothing and just keep letting people dump pigs off.
If you don't know how too take care of an animal, Don't get one!!!!!!!!!!! They can be expensive and alot of work, and it's a life time commitment!!! Thank you for helping.
you should always know what you're getting yourself into and educate yourself on whatever animal you want to keep, they're living beings and shouldn't be treated or discarded like some toy you got tired of.
I understand the family not being able to do it financially. I’m the same way right now with my 2 boys and my local shelter doesn’t take Guinea pigs. I’m in Arizona, so it may be different. But I just want to find my boys homes where they will get more love and attention. We have had them about a year and can’t even touch them, let alone clip their nails or clean them 🥺 I just want what’s best for them ♥️ they eat very good still!! Their both fat boys lol I will always make sure they are fed!!
When I watch your videos I always feel bad i got my beloved piggies from a breeder near me here in germany. On the othe hand tho, i called the local shelter and they had exactly one older pig they didnt want to give me for some reason so... i still wonder if it wa a okay. But I love my boys and take good care of them so i think it is okay?
I have two I'll take another if it's free lmao. We have three huge cages we built for them that could fit like 10 or 12 but three Is our limit. We already got six happy animals altogether. But we make sure their cages are clean and their belly's are full and we give them time to spend with us like thirty minutes a day at least and we communicate with them alot they love it when you talk to them like they are there. They don't like being held but they love being petted.
We have two males who absolutely love each other. Very protective of one another. Our original was piggy smalls and then we got little Theo because piggy smalls didn't have a personality so we figured having two would help him to either warm up or develop one. Well once we got a new guinea pig for him he screamed he was so happy. Them two were love at first sight. It was one of the most beautiful moments ever. I'm so glad I was able to make piggy not so depressed. He's a different man now lmao. Don't let nobody tell you males don't get along or can't because they can. My piggy smalls was grown already a little over six months old and the baby we got well he was a baby baby. If your guinea pig starts off as lonely which mine did just us and my dogs and cats who he bonded with so fast. Was weird but all my cats and dogs accepted them as family and loves them so much. They treat them like their babies. But if they are already lonely nine times outta ten they won't care the gender of the other as long as they have a companion
While the prior owners could have done a lot better when surrendering them, I'm glad they cared enough to make sure they went somewhere they would be safe and loved.
I love you guys. But I have to say, at least they brung to where they know they would be loved. You can tell they were taking care of and they are friendly. No the cage was nasty and they were in there for a while but I’m glad they thought of you guys instead of throwing them outside or killing them
Oh wow. I wondered what the title meant by "Dumps". Thought it was going to be about pooping or something lol. But that is really bad. Hope the ppl are really in dire straits to have to do this. But humans need to learn responsibility for pets, seriously...
At least they dropped them off. Shaming people the way he did at the beginning of this video is going to detour people from dropping them off. Should be welcoming to anyone taking the time to drop them off.
Teach people to have pets they can afford; it takes responsibility and love to have any type of pet friend. Small pets do grow and take up space. Think before you adopt or purchase.
Thank you for your help! Unfortunately a lot of shelters euthanize a lot of the animals they get due to lack of room. Its sad. I just hope one day, animal breeding of ALL SPECIES AND BREEDS WILL BE ILLEGAL!!!! Breeding for profit is disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to anyone reading this comment, Please spey and neuter your babies!!!!!!! It will also increase their value of life. Have a wonderful day y'all!!!
I hate that people can be so horrible to leave animals in such poor conditions my heart breaks ... I love the names and tv show..lol I wanted to ask Saskia I love your shirt where could I find them ?
“Ph yeah im dropping these off with you rather than neglecting them at home and them dying” stupid ass dude: “thats foul you need to be an adult” EXCUSE ME?!
Just an idea but can someone do a night shift and go out to check and see if anyone left a piggies outside. Also maybe a box that you can put them in like a baby box. Atleast then they r not left in the cold.
Well they're not free to keep and if people are on hard times i think feeding you're or family would come above caring for any pet. and its better they took them to somewhere they'd be loved rather than just letting them die somewhere isn't it? They look plump juicy and cared for in a lot of ways. We don't know their owners situation. It mightve broke their hearts to give up their gorgeous boys but it mightve been the only solution
My 2 favorite Piggie Tubers, Saskia & Scott 💖 And you're correct-once we start shaming people for surrendering Guinea Pigs they'll start dumping them in the woods.
Saskia , It’s appropriate that you named them Chandler and Joey because the lyrics to I’ll be there for you by The Rembrandts suits their life and getting help from the la guinea pig rescue . “It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear, when it hasn’t been your day, your 🐹Wheek🐹, your month, or even your year. But, I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I’ll be there for you, like I’ve been there before, I’ll be there for you, cause you’re there for me too.” ❤️🐹 Best wishes to Joey and Chandler. Such Beautiful boys. 😢Sad to see their living conditions and Chandler going in there on his own, you know that was their cage. 😢 You are going to have better days ahead now. 🐹❤️ 🐹 Angie St. Louis, Missouri
The main thing is if someone is going to drop an animal off at a shelter, do it during the day not at night like a scared dog, it could be dangerous for the animal.
Would it be an idea to install a guinea pig safe box? Near the entrance so for drops during the night they could be safe and warm. I don't know what your resources are but I'd be happy to donate. Thanks for this amazing work 💜
@@TomK32 If people are going to be irresponsible, better the animals get dropped off somewhere where they will be taken care of and rehomed, if possible.
I would make the suggestion of possibly getting a camera if you don't have one facing the outside of the gate. Soham people come by and they abandon their guinea pigs you can get them on camera and catch them in the ass and then you can identify them and go through the proper procedures and find out why they did it. Guinea pigs aren't that big of an animal. I don't really think they eat a whole whole lot me they eat but hey is something that you can make yourself you could grab grass and let it dry on its own and use it. That's not that expensive.
Sunday FEBRUARY 6TH 12NOON pst Next live shopping date !! Please share with friends and family. We will be selling new and real big name designer brands as well as jewelry, crystals, Shawls and Kantaa's, spheres, points, wands, specimens and piggie items! 100% to the pigs
Vets do NOT know how to educate their Guinea pig owners about their care. Your education online is really helpful. My vet didn’t tell me about boy Guinea pig care for their boy parts which is extra important.
Sadly vets are NOT taught about guinea pigs at all in vet school and most have to figure it out in practise
why need vets for these rodents
So true I had to show my vet the impacting of a guinea pig and how to clean it out he didn't even know it had a pocket in there!
Thanks to your Video'S
I did it myself whole lot
Cheaper👈🏼😁
Usually it's best to take guinea pigs to vets for exotic pets (who treat pets such as spiders, snakes, etc) instead of the regular ones for dogs and cats. Saskia does great work, but she gets things wrong sometimes too.
Well they don't look purposely abused and not afraid of people, must definitely be someone that started on hard times.
I'm sure they'll get adopted in no time.
Throw away that gross carrier. Thank God that these guys were found just in time. Thank you for taking care of them. 😊💖
Thanks for all the kind comments!!
That carrier was absolutely filthy, how can anyone have the cold heart to leave them like that?
So sad.
Both Saskia and Scott must have helped, and are still helping, thousands of people and their piggies! High C suits you, Scott 😂💖
La la laaaaaa
Poor thing. Glad you helped this baby piggie
Thank you for taking in these boys and loving them. Izzy got home just in time. These boys were being watched over for sure.
My sweet Emmett died Saturday and looked just like the brown one. 💔😭 My big brownie. I’ll miss him always. Thank you guys for doing what you do. 🙏❤️
The guinea pigs are adorable.
Saskia you and your family as well as your volunteers are true angels.
And yes, animal shelters do have to take them, but they don't need to keep them

Yah they are actually being pretty mature and that they are actually doing the best for the pigs
guinea pigs are high maintainance for a useless rodent that was made for food
They're not being mature at all. If you have to give up your pet, give it to actual people and don't dump it on their front door.

100% agree. A camera would be a perfect way to help catch it before it's too late! Maybe a nighttime sensor camera or something

STOP BULLYING AND SHAMING PEOPLE OR NO ONE WILL TURN PIGS INTO YOU. JUST TAKE THEM IN OR DONT. NO ONE NEEDS YOUR SELF RIGHTEOUS PREACHING.
When the rescues start judging = rescue burnout. We’re all to blame as our societal sees everything as a profit not a living being.
Info should be posted at the common abandonment areas as so many other rescues do.
Start judging and desperate people will make more desperate- usually terrible choices. Which usually doesn’t bode well for the animal.
Take care, stay safe.
As Saskia has told others you have to know when to say No. Otherwise you risk becoming a hoarder. She'll only take in as many pigs as she can afford to. She takes in a LOT, but she can't save them all. Those pigs were lucky Izzy found them. The last time two pigs were dumped off in the middle of the night. One froze to death. She's got to do something. An NO this wont completely stop the problem, she also just can't keep taking more pigs in when she's full to the max. I think cameras might not only save a pig being dumped but they might reveal something interesting like it turns out to be someone who's been ton her rescue before. Maybe not but having some cameras is better than doing nothing and just keep letting people dump pigs off.
I’d take them but I am in Florida
If you don't know how too take care of an animal, Don't get one!!!!!!!!!!! They can be expensive and alot of work, and it's a life time commitment!!! Thank you for helping.
How can anyone knowingly and willingly walk away from an animal...condemning them to suffering and death.
Mio dio, come si può lasciare dei piccoli animali li dentro?!?🤦😑 Incredibile..
Well, you couldn't have done better with the title, LOL!
What does it mean when a guinea pig has a head tilt? Is it something have for life? Or can it be corrected?
you should always know what you're getting yourself into and educate yourself on whatever animal you want to keep, they're living beings and shouldn't be treated or discarded like some toy you got tired of.
Who could do this? This is a DISGRACE, disturbing, and disgusting. So pathetic! And thank God they’re ok❤️
I understand the family not being able to do it financially. I’m the same way right now with my 2 boys and my local shelter doesn’t take Guinea pigs. I’m in Arizona, so it may be different. But I just want to find my boys homes where they will get more love and attention. We have had them about a year and can’t even touch them, let alone clip their nails or clean them 🥺 I just want what’s best for them ♥️ they eat very good still!! Their both fat boys lol I will always make sure they are fed!!
When I watch your videos I always feel bad i got my beloved piggies from a breeder near me here in germany. On the othe hand tho, i called the local shelter and they had exactly one older pig they didnt want to give me for some reason so... i still wonder if it wa a okay. But I love my boys and take good care of them so i think it is okay?
sad
I have two I'll take another if it's free lmao. We have three huge cages we built for them that could fit like 10 or 12 but three Is our limit. We already got six happy animals altogether. But we make sure their cages are clean and their belly's are full and we give them time to spend with us like thirty minutes a day at least and we communicate with them alot they love it when you talk to them like they are there. They don't like being held but they love being petted.
We have two males who absolutely love each other. Very protective of one another. Our original was piggy smalls and then we got little Theo because piggy smalls didn't have a personality so we figured having two would help him to either warm up or develop one. Well once we got a new guinea pig for him he screamed he was so happy. Them two were love at first sight. It was one of the most beautiful moments ever. I'm so glad I was able to make piggy not so depressed. He's a different man now lmao. Don't let nobody tell you males don't get along or can't because they can. My piggy smalls was grown already a little over six months old and the baby we got well he was a baby baby. If your guinea pig starts off as lonely which mine did just us and my dogs and cats who he bonded with so fast. Was weird but all my cats and dogs accepted them as family and loves them so much. They treat them like their babies. But if they are already lonely nine times outta ten they won't care the gender of the other as long as they have a companion
Rip!!!!!! Friends
Absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking x
While the prior owners could have done a lot better when surrendering them, I'm glad they cared enough to make sure they went somewhere they would be safe and loved.
I think the pigs were living in that carrier for a while, they were not in there few minutes or an hour with the condition of the carrier.
People are disgusting how can you do this?? They don’t seem to have mental capability . I’m fuming it breaks my heart and make me cry
I love you guys. But I have to say, at least they brung to where they know they would be loved. You can tell they were taking care of and they are friendly. No the cage was nasty and they were in there for a while but I’m glad they thought of you guys instead of throwing them outside or killing them
Oh wow. I wondered what the title meant by "Dumps". Thought it was going to be about pooping or something lol. But that is really bad. Hope the ppl are really in dire straits to have to do this. But humans need to learn responsibility for pets, seriously...
At least they dropped them off. Shaming people the way he did at the beginning of this video is going to detour people from dropping them off. Should be welcoming to anyone taking the time to drop them off.
6:50 7:00 the guy filming this video DID do that in the beginning of this video though when he found the carrier
Follow up video?
Teach people to have pets they can afford; it takes responsibility and love to have any type of pet friend. Small pets do grow and take up space. Think before you adopt or purchase.
the fucking state of that carrier, sorry for the bad language, that image was so shocking
My piggies are better cared for because of your videos! I wish i was so at ease trimming their nails. They always bleed.
Thank you for your help! Unfortunately a lot of shelters euthanize a lot of the animals they get due to lack of room. Its sad. I just hope one day, animal breeding of ALL SPECIES AND BREEDS WILL BE ILLEGAL!!!! Breeding for profit is disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to anyone reading this comment, Please spey and neuter your babies!!!!!!! It will also increase their value of life. Have a wonderful day y'all!!!
What is wrong with people!? You've made a commitment to the life of an animal, if you can't see it through please don't ever get another one again.
I hate that people can be so horrible to leave animals in such poor conditions my heart breaks ... I love the names and tv show..lol I wanted to ask Saskia I love your shirt where could I find them ?
“Ph yeah im dropping these off with you rather than neglecting them at home and them dying” stupid ass dude: “thats foul you need to be an adult” EXCUSE ME?!
Joey and Chandler😂
FriendS.
Did this person ever watch that show that's not how they treated their FriendS💔
Just an idea but can someone do a night shift and go out to check and see if anyone left a piggies outside. Also maybe a box that you can put them in like a baby box. Atleast then they r not left in the cold.
Thank God that Izzy found them. Joey and Chandler are so sweet. No excuses for dumping piggies. They will thrive in your loving care. Hi Scott!
Well they're not free to keep and if people are on hard times i think feeding you're or family would come above caring for any pet. and its better they took them to somewhere they'd be loved rather than just letting them die somewhere isn't it? They look plump juicy and cared for in a lot of ways. We don't know their owners situation. It mightve broke their hearts to give up their gorgeous boys but it mightve been the only solution
Juicy? Lol. But I agree. Sad but the best option
@@jean6151 hahaha yeah its like my boys they got that junk in the trunk. Guineas are just juicy all over 😄 🤣 thats why they so dang cute
My 2 favorite Piggie Tubers, Saskia & Scott 💖 And you're correct-once we start shaming people for surrendering Guinea Pigs they'll start dumping them in the woods.
When Joey stole the pepper, all I could think was "JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!"
Saskia ,
It’s appropriate that you named them Chandler and Joey because the lyrics to I’ll be there for you by The Rembrandts suits their life and getting help from the la guinea pig rescue .
“It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear, when it hasn’t been your day, your 🐹Wheek🐹, your month, or even your year. But, I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I’ll be there for you, like I’ve been there before, I’ll be there for you, cause you’re there for me too.”
❤️🐹 Best wishes to Joey and Chandler. Such Beautiful boys.
😢Sad to see their living conditions and Chandler going in there on his own, you know that was their cage. 😢
You are going to have better days ahead now. 🐹❤️

The main thing is if someone is going to drop an animal off at a shelter, do it during the day not at night like a scared dog, it could be dangerous for the animal.
Thank you for saving these poor boys. They are so handsome and SO worthy of love.
Gonna cry?
@@neverpnk8011 so what about it
That carrier made me want to vomit, poor guinea pigs. Glad Izzy came home and found them.
Would it be an idea to install a guinea pig safe box? Near the entrance so for drops during the night they could be safe and warm. I don't know what your resources are but I'd be happy to donate. Thanks for this amazing work 💜
that actually sounds doable. it would be like the baby boxes where unwanted babies can be put to be safe
That'd just encourage more drop-offs.
@@TomK32 do you think more babies are dropped of because of baby safe boxes? Studies don't show that this is true. They are dropped of anyways.
@@TomK32 If people are going to be irresponsible, better the animals get dropped off somewhere where they will be taken care of and rehomed, if possible.
@@TomK32 which is good
Thank you for saving these boys. As bad as that carrier looks, they sure do look like they are doing great now.
Oh my god! It’s so sad how people are Like this in the world :(
You and your family are angels!
Wasn't they wanted back in the carrier specifically, they just wanted a hidey.
I agree
I would make the suggestion of possibly getting a camera if you don't have one facing the outside of the gate. Soham people come by and they abandon their guinea pigs you can get them on camera and catch them in the ass and then you can identify them and go through the proper procedures and find out why they did it. Guinea pigs aren't that big of an animal. I don't really think they eat a whole whole lot me they eat but hey is something that you can make yourself you could grab grass and let it dry on its own and use it. That's not that expensive.
yes been thinking about it
