[@sissywizard1764]

I feel like animal hoarders should be documented and randomly checked periodically to make sure they NEVER do this again. Hope that lady realizes the harm and impact she creates.

[@epd1113]

I totally agree with you. The poor animals are being let down.

[@karebearsanimalhouse7195]

I agree

[@christineriddle1232]

I 100% agree with you.

[@sarahstardust]

I think that happens if you get the spca involved or other official group that works with the police.

[@riverslittlelife6026]

I agree to an extent. Technically people could consider me an animal hoarder as I have 9 animals(3 hamsters 4 rabbits a crested gecko and a cat) but I take extremely good care of my animals, they all have proper diets, well above the bare minimum of space(ikea detolf for my hamster and the other two have huge bins, and my bunnies have their own room), so many toys and enrichment. If someone took my babies from me I would literally be devastated. I’ve spent well over $2000 in the last year at the vets. I love my babies. However I agree people like this person should be randomly checked.

[@pamw.8676]

To be feral, but not bite the handler-shows how kind hearted these animals are.

[@avahaysnake9898]

guinea pigs tend to not bite which is why their always recommended for small children but unfortunately they always end up in tiny cages and being abuse

[@dax5791]

Ugly guinea pigs don't exist, this is true! Even those alien looking hairless piggies are adorable.

[@arwen.kauzar9785]

Lisa Daxer those are called skinny pigs and they do NOT look like Aliens!

[@anaph8552]

Poor Babies. Glad they are safe now. One of my boys was rescued from a hoarding situation 3 years ago (almost 280 guinea pigs and rabbits). The previous owner was a former breeder and the whole situation went somehow out of hand...TWICE! The first time happened 6 years ago. Almost 260 guinea pigs and rabbits were rescued at that time and the lady was prohibited from owning any pets for the rest of her life. The vetarinary office checked on her regulary....but at some point the lady moved to a different city and the vetarinary office lost track of her until the second hoarding happened. It's sad and I really think these kind of people have some mental health issues and need help.

[@erkheth]

Yes, hoarding certainly comes from mental illness. Though these people are troubled, they should really not be allowed pets. They can't handle their own life, not by their fault.

[@janinebean4276]

The fluffy ones look like little blonde surfer dudes with bedhead--very California! :P

[@sarahstardust]

I think they look like raw cookie dough when you spoon it onto the cookie sheet. Very cute!

[@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue]

Haha yes they do actually

[@lulusunboxing1678]

I’m still so astonished by how docile guinea pigs are. Even the ones who’re being handled for the first time don’t even bite! I also watched some other rescue videos where Saskia had to basically yank out of the cage and they don’t attack at all. They’re so gentle and cute, I honestly don’t know how people can be so cruel to them...

[@berserker3414]

Because messed up people like to abuse of the vulnerable and sweet, they are cowards after all. If they were strong and aggressive they would think it twice before messing with them

[@hannahlynn6929]

i keep forgetting that your intro has piggies wheeking and i watch your videos next to my piggies cage and EVERY TIME they freak out and start wheeking with the intro haha

[@sunbae4865]

that makes me so sad, i plan on opening my own guinea pig rescue. i just love guinea pigs so much and i want to help in any way i can. will they all be up for adoption pretty soon?

[@sarahstardust]

She said in response to another comment that this is from January. The description mentions adoptions, so I assume they've been up for adoption. Some might still be there since adoptions have been more difficult during quarantine.

[@sandrabeck8788]

So glad the lady recognized she could not care for these animals and made the decision to let go of them. Wonderful that they were rescued by alert friends

[@mszoomy]

Some people say there's no such thing as "The Aby Sass", they say it's a myth. This is video proof of its exsistance! Gotta love those Aby's!! #11 was adorable 23:00

[@jbjacobs9514]

I have had all kinds of piggies over 33+ years, but for some reason, the most were abbys. I just love them so much. I mean, I love all piggies. Like Saskia said, there is no such thing as an ugly piggy (and in another video, there is no such thing as an overweight piggy). All piggies are perfect. But I just get so crazy in love when I see those crazy rosettes of an Abby pig. Just too gorgeous to me.

[@karaleetrapp]

[@KellyNsGrotto]

Holy moly. Abys and skinny pigs. I seem to have quite a few abys too atm for some reason.

If I lived closer, I would love to help out. I have 2 girls of my own and they are so spoiled. That's the way it's supposed to be. They are so precious they deserve to be spoiled. God bless you all, piggies too.

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Awesome job everybody! Being in an industry where I have cared for dogs for so long, I can smell when dogs have allergy dermatitis or ear infection. Without looking through long fur, lifting up ear flaps, Looking under the tail, etc. it is a very distinctive smell and I can even tell how advanced/ what stage of healing it is in. When you see enough of it, you learn to assess the stage of that smell very fast. I wish only fantastic things for the futures of these beautiful piggies!

[@vicferrari9380]

Hi Saskia I have noticed on some piggies when you trim their nails that you will cut them way back. I know I'm to cut only near to the quick. I saw you cut one pig where it looked like there was holes in the nails where the quick would have been. So here it is. How! I can only cut like 1/8" inch with out them crying and bleeding. There nails are always way to long because of it. On another front Thank you! You had a bonding with piggy video that made it so simple! Five minutes per pig advanced our bond more than I had managed to do in like a year! I still have work to do. You are a goddess among piggys.

I have lots of snakes, but they eat humanely killed frozen/thawed. Plus I wouldn't want to feed my guys any rodents that are beat up with open wounds. That's just asking for infections and parasites. I wouldn't get feeders from anyone with such horrible conditions, I think it would encourage them to "breed" more and try to make a quick buck.
