Word on the street: "he's a biter" Translation: "people didn't handle him properly" Look at him being such a good boy ❤️ he is no biter, he just never met someone who knew and loved guinea pigs.

[@g.s.7022]

Scotty wasn't bitten, he gave Lucky a long hug to calm him down before he was able to bring him to Saskia and he explained that the little guy is a nibbler.

[@Drux.i]

Not always. I have two boys, one is the sweetest but very shy, and the other is super outgoing but also a biter. He doesn't like to be held, so he and I came up with our own way of getting around. I flip over his castle, he climbs in, and that's how we move around! He loves being pet and getting scratches, just doesn't like to be held. During health checks and nail trimming he's actually okay as long as his feet are on the table, but the moment you pick him up he starts biting.

It's absolutely unbelievable how many people out there think "It's a bad animal" and " You can't fix it. It was made that way". And I don't understand why people are so shocked when animals aren't very nice anymore. They bite, hiss and growl(depending on what they are) after they treat them so poorly and are surprised afterwards. I always tell people when this topic comes up 'No animal is born "bad", and no animal is "un-fixable".'

I have three hams and it breaks my heart to see hamsters in these cages, let alone a Guinea Pig. Hamsters need a minimum of 450-600 sq in (min in US) depending on the species, I always advocate to provide more than the bare minimum. Meanwhile, these critter trail cages are barely 120 sq inches. This treatment is incredibly neglectful to hamsters and sadly very much encouraged by pet store sales policies. But to shove a Guinea pig in there…I am almost speechless. So glad he made his way to you guys, the work you all do is amazing. And a reminder to anyone wanting to acquire a small animal, always check your local shelters, rescues, and rehoming ads before supporting breeding mills and the corporate pet trade.

[@nataliadoe7126]

I can only imagine using this as a travel carrier, but as a permanent home?? The Guinea pig can only move about 2 step in any direction. I can’t imagine living like that.

[@hamsterama]

I have a Savik Metro Heaven cage, which exceeds the 600 min sq in. But that's not all. I keep the hamster in a spare bedroom, which I use as a storage room. And I leave the cage open 24/7! So, I free-range my hamster. I keep the entrance of the bedroom blocked off with a couple boxes, to prevent my furry pal from escaping the room. I realize most people are not able to free-range their hamster. But let me tell you, if you give them that much space, they will use it! They run around the room all night, then return to the cage on their own by the morning. I agree, that cage in the video is too small for even a hamster, let alone a guinea pig.

Pet store manager here, PLEASE anyone watching, tell people not to buy guinea pigs from pet stores. A lot of people just don't know better and a simple Facebook post could make the difference. I assure you, we love them and care for them when they're with us but everyone I've ever worked with has wished we didn't have to sell animals. But the demand is INSANE so the incentive is still there. For small animals, guinea pigs have the highest margin on the animal itself (though we spend the most on them at the vet, usually URI or fungal outbreaks that crop up the day or two after they've arrived from travel stress). Their caging and accessories are also huge money makers. Please adopt. It's never hard to find guinea pigs who need homes.

The cage was far too small for him. As you tell by yourself. I’m glad he was saved. I had two bunnies from a animals shelter once. It was told (from the previous owner via the animals shelter) that they are aggressive and that they bite. The animals shelter already told that their cage was too small. I gave them a bigger cage and a big surprise: They were the nicest bunnies in the world. I never got bitten and they never were aggressive. Animals can become aggressive if you don’t handle them the proper way. It’s the owners fault then.

I lost already a guinea pig to one dog, and I had to save a bunny from another dog (the bunny was raised by hand and wasn’t scared of dogs, he even run to barking dogs which had the intention to eat him). You can make the cage as big as possible (e.g. more than 8x5 meters), and the bunny won’t see a big difference. If you can trust that no dog, wolf, eagle, hawk or whatever catches your bunny, you can live without a cage.

I don't have much experience with rodents, but I will say that even with reptiles it's common for people to say that they're "aggressive" or "they bite" when really they're being mistreated and reacting appropriately.

I got my first Guinea Pig last year on the day this video was uploaded. February 25th, 2021. It's just my mother and I live together with a dog. We asked questions at the pet store ( Petco ) They sold us an overpriced cage that is probably barely big enough for one Cavvie. Didn't tell us anything about them being social animals and needing other piggies around. Obviously got us to buy a bunch of unneeded toys and other stuff like salt licks and toys meant for hamsters. We brought him home and got his new cage setup, which in comparison to Petco's cage, was about two or three times bigger length-wise. We ended up calling him Wrex. I named him after a video game character from the game Mass Effect. Turns out it was also the name of my Niece and Nephew's grandpa who died recently ( If I remember right ) So the kids loved that. It was about a week later we noticed how shy our first cavy was. We started looking into it, and we found out that they need at least two. We went to a local pet store and got a new cavy, we called him Rocky. Turns out that was another name of a grandpa, this time mine who passed away when I was a kid. Almost immediately after throwing him in the cage ( Not literally ) we noticed an immediate improvement in how Wrex was acting. They were best friends and had such a fun time. Then we got a decent chunk of money, and both my mom and I agreed that we ought to expand the cage. As we learned about the recommended size of the Guinea Pigs to run and have room. It was one of the first times having such a large amount of money, so I guess I was feeling flushed. I ended up buying 5-cages... Way too much. Each cage was about 2Fx4F. It was the Midwest brand. Not a horrible cage, but assembly was such a pain. We ended up only using 3 of the cages and putting the other cages in storage if we needed another panel. Then we decided on one other Guinea Pig. We got him from the same place as we did Rocky. Was just a little baby. Very rough and scraggly hair. No idea at the time that he was get such long hair. We called him Scrappy just because of how much he looked like a rough little Cavy. But we unknowingly put him in the cage with Wrex and Rocky. Turns out that introducing a new Guinea Pig to an already established herd isn't good. Rocky ended up getting really violent to Wrex. While Wrex started to never leave his Hut. At the time we had no idea what to do. We ended up using the original cage we got with Wrex and tried separating them both. But both my mom and I both knew it wasn't right or fair to keep one Guinea separated from another. So we bought one last Guinea Pig. This time we named him Tiberius, aka Tibby. We looked into it and learned how to introduce Guinea Pigs, and since Rocky and Scrappy had the best bond. We put Tibby with Wrex. Get it? Tiberius-Wrex? Then the worst part of it all for me. Was back in September. My sister told my mother that her friend had a Guinea Pig they couldn't take care of anymore. My mom woke me up and drove me to this house, and as a surprise, I learned we were getting a new Guinea Pig. I was so excited. I was in a grouchy mood since I was extremely tired and got woken up, but I was immediately happy. Once I saw the Guinea Pig I was surprised as to him looking like a baby. But we brought him home, introduced him to Wrex, and Tibby. This new Cavy had the fur and eye color of an albino. While also looking to have some Asain features. We ended up calling him Po. The first problem we had, was that we found out that this family who gave us Po, was feeding him Rabbit pellets the entire time, used the wrong type of Hay, and would use untreated Alpine shavings for bedding. He wouldn't leave his corner, he wouldn't eat. He barely pooped and I rarely saw him drink. I ended up going out with my mom and getting a syringe meant for baby or animal feeding. I would have to Purre the Guinea Pig food, and veggies, mixed with water and Vitamin C tablets. Then I would spend about 10 or so minutes a day, slowly feeding him. I made a mistake that still bugs me to this day. I saw he was being more active and getting better, and I stopped. I saw him eating on his own and thought he'd be good. Didn't want to have him become reliant on liquid food. But on October 11th, I was about to go to bed. Was up late and was around 4AM. I decided to get the Guinea Pigs water or food. I noticed, Po doesn't look right. I picked him up for the first time in a bit and realized how little he weighed and how he barely moved. I woke my mom up and told her. She thought I was just being paranoid like I usually am about their health. But sadly, Po later died. It was around 6:09AM. He had one sudden thrashing and then just dropped. I am an animal lover. I struggle to see an animal suffer. This was hard for me. Besides some Beta fishes who died when I was a kid. I had never lost a pet before. Even as a full-grown adult, I cried. It is incredibly sad to me. Knowing that Po's final moments were painful and rough. Now it's February 28th. My sister told us again about a Guinea Pig one of her former friends was wanting to get rid of. Was over a really dumb reason. It was making too much noise when the lady would come home from work. So we went over there, and she brought us into the kitchen where it was in a very small cage. Smaller than the one we bought for Wrex at the start. You can tell it had never fully been cleaned. At least not in a long time. There were Poop smears on the walls and what looked like really old bedding and poop. Then there was a massive pile-up in the corner of Fur. As I was bringing the cage out, the lady made a comment that sounded awful. She said that once her kid returns from School he's gonna be wondering where the Guinea Pig went. Meaning she never told the kid about it. Just seems needlessly cruel to do. The kid though named this Guinea Pig and I felt it was wrong to change the name of an animal that was already given one. So we now have 5 Guinea Pigs again. We have Wrex, Rocky, Scrappy, Tibby, and now... We have G - Force... Like that movie from around 2010... I find it kind of cute as the kid is likely in elementary school and thought that was such a cool name. We just cleaned out Wrex's and Tibby's cage today and introduced them on neutral ground. But my god. I have never seen a Guinea Pig run. By god does this Pig love to run. He was zooming up and down like crazy. Humping Wrex and Tibby and playing with everything. He went into the secluded Food cage and had a field day with the amount of hay available and the appropriately sized water bottle. I find it sad though. So many people will buy a Guinea Pig. Not realizing the effort and work that is needed. Then they just mistreat them or let them loose outside. People act like these aren't actually living things but just some random toy to buy and get rid of when you're done. Reminds me of people who will rent a dog pretty much. They adopt a dog for Christmas, then afterward they'll return them to the pound. My mom and I may have not been the greatest owners, but I feel like we have managed to do good in the end. I have one Nephew and two Nieces. They absolutely love the Guinea Pigs. The youngest Niece loves to grab food from their hay or food bowl and chase them wondering why they don't want the food. Then sometimes gets sad and has once or twice cried cause she thinks the Guinea Pigs don't like her. So we have to explain it to her. I'm glad there are shelters out there dedicated to Guinea Pigs. I also very much appreciate your KZbin channel, as it has helped us in getting all the Guinea Pig stuff properly prepared and done.

I’m so glad he’s safe and getting the care he needs. I was almost in tears watching Scotty’s video about him.

[@chloeeroberson5332]

Poor baby he should be glad to have help!

[@frosgailt]

Poor little guy. How can people treat them like this? It’s not understandable. It’s not okay.

[@staufferfamily9629]

Awww poor thing, it always makes me sad to see animals being abused😥. Thank you to everyone involved in saving him!

[@vickywhite8586]

He's a cutie 😍. Good luck finding him a home, he's beautiful.

[@kristanyadias5961]

Saskia….. I’m in tears right now…. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YPU FOR SAVING THAT GUY. The Universe will bless you for doing more than your part of taking care of earths creatures. Sending Love and Light your way.

[@chickennuggetpaw]

Imagine if this had happened and the lady hadn’t posted about it... that makes me too sad to think about. It makes me happy to see him being looked after now though ❤️

[@julesc_bubblegum]

What a good boy!! Some people don't deserve animals... I lost my baby back in October and would give anything to have him back. Thank you for what you do 💙💙 I also love the fact you call his paws "feetsies" and his food "nom-noms" hehe

[@sandraoaks7887]

Saskia: He didn’t try & bite me he’s a good boy. ....He knows he’s where he’s going to b loved 24/7. He can relax breath & just b. Enjoy little one u now live n heaven on 🌍 🙏🏼 Thanks Scotty & 2 all that changed this young guys life from hell to paradise. 😘

[@susanaponte1579]

Boy, this is SICKENING!! I saw Scott's video about him, and how Scotty said he couldn't sleep and was having nightmares, because of what this person said! SO HAPPY he's safe, Thank God he's still O.k., and will have a chance at a good and happy life, it's totally unacceptable that this is happening today with all the animal information out there!

[@madisonseverson8604]

Thank you guys SO MUCH for saving this sweet sweet baby. You guys are absolute heroes

[@gabrieladosamantes5472]

I’m So Against Animal Abuse And Cruelty.. Thank You For Saving Him.. God Bless You..❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@Allaunira]

So shocking someone would think it is ok to treat an animal like that!! I bet he becomes very friendly and happy when he's put in a proper cage with room to run, places to hide and other piggies to spend time with.

[@ravenlunatic2627]

Thank GOD for people like you who want to rescue these beautiful little babies from such cruel environments. I will never understand how and why anyone would ever treat an animal this way. So glad you saved him from that horrid woman he was with before. He's so cute.

[@Camilla.x]

My heart breaks for all the animals that have to live with people, without the heart in the right places... poor little boy

[@indikaabeyratne3542]

It's a blessing that you guys are there to help these adorable babies. I don't understand why people do these things. If you don't like animals DON'T have them!!!

[@atreb56]

What a sweetheart. I commented on the negative aspect on Scottys channel, so I'll not repeat it here. I'm so glad that Scott rescued him and now he's in loving and caring hands of Saskia. God Bless all the ppl who rescue the helpless creatures by going above and beyond what is required.

[@millie9141]

I’m so glad that you rescued this guinea pig from its terrible owners! The cage is way to small! And there is a hamster wheel in the cage! Tysm for rescuing this little piggie

[@HaruDoneYet]

I’m so glad he’s safe and he seems so nice despite what he’s been through

[@mindylee1520]

I'm happy she posted. The way she did it was all wrong, but she reached out for help. I didn't see her post, but it sounds like she was seeking help. Thanks for all you do!

[@melissathompson9700]

I've been rescuing rats since I was 15 and the amount of times I've heard "he's a biter" it just goes over my head now 😂 even when they do bite it always stops when they realise their boundaries won't be crossed by me or anyone while they're with me. So many dumped and similar situations to this, its sickening and I wish small animals were more carefully homed by pet shops and back yard breeders. I've never had any want to have a guinea pig, however this particular one im in love with 🥺 he's so beautiful and sassy😂❤ sending you guys so much love, what you all do is amazing!

[@rrrrrr-kb9sb]

How can people be so cruel to an innocent animal?

[@Nikki-zd2fw]

I saw his story on Scotty's channel and was so happy about his rescue. Glad to hear he's still very young, so hopefully he has a long and happy life ahead of him! 🍀

[@SleepTokens_sacrifice]

Who owned this guinea pig before abused him, u can tell by the way he acts, I saved a guinea pig from an abused home and took her to live with my other one. I hope he gets a better home that lives him and feeds him and takes good care of him.

[@katylovett2721]

His full name is now Lucky Christiano ! Love you little dude! Thanks Scotty Myah and Saskia.

[@ITIsFunnyDamnIT]

Thank You for spelling his name out. I was looking for someone who had his name spelled out as I'm doing the timestamps and didn't know how to spell his name.

[@ragerk1ng477]

Thank you so much for getting this guy and freeing him from that pitiful excuse of a home

[@latanyasingh9248]

I'm so glad Scotty got him 💗

[@emmarandom4629]

Last week I saw the post with this guinea pig on instagram. It sickens me that people treat their pets as toys to gain internet attention. I didn't interact with the post in any way; I didn't want to support the owner in their sick abuse. It is absoluteley AMAZING to see you guys rescued him! And he's such a sweet boy too :) I just know he'll end up in a loving home

[@oregonrailfan7046]

I mean to be fair some people treat their kids the same so

[@allisonspiggies]

He is adorable and I'm so glad he will have a wonderful life now!💗💗

[@iheartcatswowie]

THE FACT THEY HAD HIM IN THAT SMALL CAGE AND HAMSTERS CAN'T EVEN BE IN

[@ScottysAnimals]

Please do not post information about this person in the comments and do not contact them directly. That may actually put the rescue in danger

[@aglassofcyanide8266]

How horrible, that poor baby. So so so happy you guys got him. And you can see his little face when you were scratching his head like he was thinking "omg what is this? I like it" 😖 my heart

[@Kwood10]

Omg I don’t know why someone would do this, I can’t imagine how many other dear sweet animals are living in these conditions , he is absolutely adorable 🥰

[@cara3673]

I love that you do this for these beautiful creatures. I think many people get Guinea pigs from a pet store thinking it's going to be an easy pet, but are not educated about Guinea pig care. They often end up mistreated and crammed into tiny cages. I had Guinea pigs when I was a kid and we built a giant wooden cage, but they spent most of their days outside in the grass. We would just leave them in the backyard and they would run around eating grass and relaxing, but they never disappeared on us. They would come when we called them. As an adult I really don't agree with the idea of having pets.. Animals are not here for our amusement and the pet industry is just sickening! God-bless you for all that you do

[@thejunbox1]

when i saw that cage my heart DROPPED

[@kingofkingz235]

such a small cage wow 😱😢 thx for saving that beautiful guinea pig much respect and love for what you and your team do 👏🙌❤

[@simplydavemn]

I kinda preferred the name 'Lucky', but I'm just glad he's in your care and going to learn some people are loving.

[@courtneymartin5733]

That poor beautiful baby 😢 thank you for saving him how could someone be so evil my guinea pigs have helped me with my depression i truly cant belive people treat them so bad because with a chance they can be very loving

[@rootsdarlings]

this is so horrific well done for rescuing him 💗💗

[@shannonshenaniganz5630]

People like that make me sick and makes me very mad. They do not deserve animals. I'm so thankful this little sweetheart was saved.

[@joannekucks4343]

I love that you’re willing use your fingers to put on medicine, poke in early and pick poop off piggies with your beautiful polished nails! 🥰🐹🐹🙏🏼

[@justiceneeded01]

So, so glad there's people out there dedicating their time and lives to these lil guys:') Guinea's are amazing, intelligent little creatures and are definitely underrated. So it's just awesome that there's people out there making sure to help as many of these lil cuties 😍💕

[@ScottysAnimals]

Please do not contact this person in any way!

[@lisadoshier4670]

No animal deserves to be treated like that. Poor little baby. I'm glad you guys have him. Thank you for saving him ❤️
