You save piggies lives everyday and you dont even know it Scotty! Just your informative videos are so educational to anyone wanting or if they already have a guinea pig. People are more and more starting to abandon those tiny pet store cages and go for something much bigger and more appropriate for their pairs. And your medical information helps tremendously because not many vets take 'exotic' pets like guinea pigs. Channels like yours do more for guinea pigs than most rescues do! You educate piggie owners on proper care, and that keeps their guinea pigs safe in the long run and creates responsible pet owners. Your influence is more important than you or I could ever know!

[@ScottysAnimals]

I'm grateful to be able to share what I've learned and for our community that is learning together

[@michelleschneider3220]

Oh Scotty, the tired look in your eyes, the heart you put in every day, every minute to saving our beloved guinea pigs and you even save other animals too! Educating and making others aware of proper care for their piggies, through your videos and oh my gosh, your playlists make it easy to look up what we need for our piggies. Not only that, you let us know that you are available if needed and what a lifesaver you have been for me with Harriet and Clementine! I have learned so much and grown as a piggie parent to both and have become more confident. I know that the learning never stops! You have also made my passion for advocacy for our beloved guinea pigs grow and know that work never ends and so thank you Scotty for all you have done in creating this channel. I am beyond grateful and so is Harriet and Clementine!

Scotty - 2 things: everyday you are around, you make a contribution; and you kind of already do run a rescue if you think about it. You're always rescuing, fostering, caring for pigs. You are just an all-around good person who has a very strong aura of light around you. Some people just exude good energy; you are one of those.

[@ScottysAnimals]

I'll do my best to stay around for a long time

I love your “calm demeanour “ Scotty !! It’s refreshing to listen to you explaining things slowly and clearly and allow time for your words to sink in. Thank you. Xxx I have two piggies Pinky (pink ears) and Perky (very loving and funny) and he loves being kissed! You’re a rare find Scotty for your care of little animals.

Scotty you are so amazing, I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for always sharing informative videos with us. You’re doing such an amazing job with all of the piggies. You have a sweet nature for them. I love how you always pick them and show them how much you love them

[@michellewaite4482]

[@Virtuous777]

I'm happy to hear the good news!You're a very kind and compassionate man! The piggies sense that about you when you walk into the room, they respond to your voice and presence. The piggies can sense your gentle, loving nature.They have all bonded with you. You're passionate about guinea pigs, and you put your heart into caring for them and loving them. I hope and pray that God continues to give you health and strength to keep doing what you're doing. Kudos to you! 🖖😇👼🙏🔥🕊🌈🦅💛💜🤍🩷🪶🐦🪽💋

[@atreb56]

Thank you Scott, Saskia and LAGPR staff for all you do. I've learned so much from all of you. I've had piggies since 1998 and you don't know what you don't know as the saying goes. Bless all of you for your BIG hearts.

It’s so great you had a positive experience yesterday.

[@user-nw9cs1et9s]

Thank you very much for your wonderful work you do all the time for the piggies ❤. The world needs more men like you, dear Scotty. All the best to you and all your piggies. Greetings from Austria.

[@hayleygoogle7831]

I've made my piggies some summer liners, where I use cotton fabric instead of fleece for the top layer. The frozen bottle in a sock is fantastic and my long-haired boys love it on hot days!

[@michaelvoyzey1099]

You are a true inspiration Scotty the work you do and the care you put into everything with all the piggies amazing 🎉

[@heatherburrell]

Scott, I don't even have piggies and I Love that your heart is always open for people and animals! You make such wonderful and informative videos, we all greatly appreciate that. You do your absolute best in all of the work you do for the rescue, and for so many people and animals, know that you make a huge difference! I've shared your channel with so many guinea pig people over the years, and there's such a variety on your channel. You help more of us than you realise! Thankyou, deeply, for always having the greatest compassion for life and your beautiful piggies and BB. We love you. My rabbits send licks 😘💖 #13:17 little people. I see animals as other types of people, I have done since I was in my teens 😂❤

[@beverleymason9038]

Hi Scotty. It all sounds like a very well run rescue. Full credit to you, Saskia, and the whole team. A truly wonderful way to spend time. I love looking after guinea pigs. God bless you all for the brilliant work that you do. Thanks for the great video 🐹🐹🐹

[@hayleygoogle7831]

Thank you for everything you do Scotty. The world needs more people like you and others who volunteer to help piggies and other precious animals. Happy belated 4th of July! Have a great weekend! 🥰

[@TychanDK]

So glad to hear you had a good day after that mail. ❤

[@aprilk467]

Scotty, you are wise to know that your piggie community is is best served by you volunteering and not opening your own rescue. Some of us are the worlds best volunteers because we know that is our strength. I commend you and all you do for the small animal community. AND btw, i TOTALLY get the rewarding feeling of volunteering. I volunteered for Mission Viejo animal shelter for over 2 years back in the early 2000s. I specifically did bunnies (cuz I had been a bun mom for years). Since I had a 9-5 job, i could only be there on weekends and holidays. I didn't realize how coveted that made me!!! You are smart to be the malleable morph to fill in the gaps. Filling those gaps makes sure no piggie falls thru a gap!! 💘💝💖

[@maryamullins4332]

Scott Hale, you cut yourself short in what you do on a daily basis. So stop! You have knowingly saved piggies but what is even more is you UNKNOWINGLY have saved piggies and human's sanity. You, Saskia and Valerie are mine and many people and piggies heroes. Now that is out of the way...... I found ice cooling pads while we were traveling. When we were coming home from OR and hit Kansas we felt like we were at the doorstep of Hades it was that hot. We tried everything to keep the girls cool. So we stopped at some off brand pet store and they had them. They are just big sheets of bubble ice. But they were heavy duty and they fit almost the entire bottom of the cage. We also had been putting the ice in socks but they didn't work as well. I wish now I had bought several of them. The are inexpensive and I am sure drug stores or Walmart or pet stores have them. Scotty, thank you for always being there for all of us! ❤

If i still lived in California I would fill out an application to volunteer at Saskia’s La Guinea Pig Rescue.

There was a capybara at the animal shelter where i adopt my cat from. It wasn’t there on the day i adopted my cat but it was there on one of the days I went to the shelter on one of my birthdays before I was able to adopt a cat.

Hi Scott! Could you please tell me what the signs are of over heating/ heat stroke in guinea pigs? Or if you have a video I could watch on it. Thank you!

[@susannabonke8552]

You are such a blessing. Did you tell how you make a living?

[@aprilk467]

and PS....i need more BISON!!!!

[@gsb5012]

Can I ask if a piggy gets upset if having lap time and they need to pee. I would like to have my piggies out with me at times but I don’t want to upset them.

[@ScottysAnimals]

15 minutes is about their limit. Put them on fleece and you don't have to worry if they pee or not but they will usually warn you. I found that it's best to hold them for a short periods multiple times a day rather than for one long period of time

[@susannabonke8552]

They are so kind as to inform you... How fidgety are we when we need to pee urgently?

[@myoldvhstapes]

Tell them ahead of time that you are about to take them out so they can prepare- Make up a phrase or song that you always use as the signal/cue for that action. They will quickly learn the association and will probably decide, "Oh, let me go to the bathroom first" when they hear it. One of my guinea pigs runs to the litter box to pee every time I announce "Fresh hay!!" as I bring over the giant bag of hay. It's so funny, I have no idea why an empty bladder makes hay taste better.
