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.

[@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue]

Sadly vets are NOT taught about guinea pigs at all in vet school and most have to figure it out in practise

[@oberscharfuhrer8917]

why need vets for these rodents

[@arealhauntedhouse4171]

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👈🏼😁

[@lavishlyvice]

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.

[@thelizfamilyvlogs6187]

​@oberscharfuhrer8917 OH trust me. They need vets. They have teeth that grow. Vet has to trim their teeth. They get sick. You have to give them special food from the vets. They need antibiotics when they are sick too. Guinea pigs have to have surgery sometimes. They are not like hamsters. They are even considered livestock. They are herd animals who love to eat grass when they are outside.

[@katieakin9397]

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.

[@cass7448]

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.

[@gingerbends5216]

Yah they are actually being pretty mature and that they are actually doing the best for the pigs

[@oberscharfuhrer8917]

guinea pigs are high maintainance for a useless rodent that was made for food

[@lavishlyvice]

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.

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!

[@mamacito1795]

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

[@jean6151]

Juicy? Lol. But I agree. Sad but the best option

[@raven4090]

The writing of the note looked like a kid wrote it, so it could have been a case of a parent who couldn't or wouldn't buy food for them, or maybe the family was made homeless, but an adult shouldn't make a child just dump their pets, no matter what the situation is. It breaks a child's heart. Thank you for taking them in.

[@oliviastreich1374]

I second this comment, parents are sometimes the problem and kids want to care for their pets. My mom hid my pet rats because I wanted to see my dad and they ended up passing because she put them in a small cat carrier in a dark basement and all she had to say was “you should have just said you’d stay the night” and has never apologized. I wish I could have just given them to a shelter.

[@Sophia-lc8fm]

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 💜

[@marcaber6367]

that actually sounds doable. it would be like the baby boxes where unwanted babies can be put to be safe

[@TomK32]

That'd just encourage more drop-offs.

I love when you and Scotty team up to make videos. What a gross looking carrier. I hate when people dump animals. Poor babies. The person could have put a blanket or towel in the carrier.

[@katsu9582]

wouldnt have been any better since this carrier wasnt standing on a higher spot and it rained that night the towel would have just be wet and the piggies would be wet too. atleast if u dump piggies they should be on a higher position or under a roof, would make it less dramatic and shaming, even if its not right to drop them in the middle of the night. This Person was probably scared of getting shittalked if he/she went to a zoo or somewhere else.

[@kimberleyoliver8335]

Thanks Scott for rescuing Joey and Chandler! Thanks also to your mom for caring for abandoned piggies ❤️. I once had to surrender my two girl Guinea pigs but I took them and their supplies to the BCSPCA so they could be in an animal shelter. I love your animal rescue- 🇨🇦

[@elena-ri6pq]

im so shook about how much guinea pigs get abandoned i never expected it im so sad

[@ITIsFunnyDamnIT]

This happens too often. The last guinea pig dumped on her property died from it being freezing cold out that night. Still makes me sad when I think about it.m I wish she'd either have camera on the property or a night time volunteer who can at the very least take the pig into safety if Saskia has anyone she trust and is willing to volunteer the graveyard shift.

[@elena-ri6pq]

@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT it surprised me because i live in a really small poor country, and you would expect americans could take better care of animals that one time gave them a spark of joy, there really is no excuse to kill an animal like that considering the money they make, im so disappointed

[@Roeseii]

@@elena-ri6pq sadly, animals to some people are a "toy" and they'll buy them for their kids as a "present" and then abandon the animal when the kid doesn't take care of it and they get sick of it. Sometimes people hoard, sometimes they fall on times where they can't care for the animal and need to think about themself and their family, some, they just don't care. Fish are actually the most abused because everyone thinks you can put them in small bowls, feed them, and they'll be fine, but like every animal there's so much more they need. It's disappointing like you said, and more people/households need to be banned from owning pets if they do horrible things like this. And if they neglect and hurt animals, who knows how their children are living

[@mszoomy]

And yes, animal shelters do have to take them, but they don't need to keep them

[@schokolina2401]

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

How do people do this. I don’t understand how people just leave their pigs in a carrier with no warmth, not food, no water. Let alone just leave them somewhere hoping someone does something when it is THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to make sure at the bare minimum they are taken to a shelter if they need to be surrendered immediately. If it’s possible there are great websites like pet finder or guinea pig adoption sites. There are so many options and this should not be one of them. I’m just so glad that you guys found these boys and are educating the piggie community with each video.

[@i.robles5785]

Sometimes I wonder that you guys should have boxes outside the front of property for nightly drop offs. They could be heated and with fresh bedding, with a phone number or button to alert whoevers awake to pick up. I'm not sure if it would encourage those drop offs but if it had been cold enough, they would have frozen to death.

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.🐹🐹

[@MrNothingleft]

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?
