He Was Living in a RAT cage 😳 RESCUING a Hairless Guinea Pig

[@mitchfeininger163]

all i can say is thank you for everything you do,im a 12 yr old girl and i got guinea pigs last summer, sadly, when i got them i did not know what proper care was. for about 6-8 months they lived in a cage that wasn't a suitable size, but i came across your channel. and i begged my dad to give me a loan for the summer for a proper cage size, and thankfully, he agreed. now my pigs are happy, safe,and healthy thanks to u. so all i want to say its thank u!!

[@megurineluka2767]

How the fuck does a 12 year old have a KZbin account. Man, your parents must be fucking stupid if they don’t know basic internet safety.

[@PiggieTime]

I had a similar scenario when I first got my pigs. It’s great that you acknowledged the issue and changed your care!

[@wellhill4017]

IM 12 AND A GIRL TOO!! I don’t have Guinea pigs but I have rabbits. I LOVE learning about other animals though. I may be able to pull of the pigs though because I have 9 rabbits. (Yes i know. I’m too spoiled sorry lol.)

[@ButterFromDiscord]

@@wellhill4017 rabbits? We’ll just make sure to keep them away from Guinea pigs, rabbits can injure them with their strong legs or just bully the Guinea pig leading to stress

[@wellhill4017]

@@ButterFromDiscord well I have my rabbits on wire so I can’t have them together anyway. And dont worry. Thé rabbits don’t hâve sore hocks and I have he’d them for over three months :>

I have a feeling by your first reaction you're going to keep this cutie...but if you need a little budge, please keep him. He is adorable and I would love to see him in the pig room with all the other piggies. Great work as usual, you are the best. 😊

Omg I can't handle the adorable little neck rolls 😂😍

[@seacaptainminto7169]

16:00 I really love the advice here. Critique on pet care is super sensitive since most believe they're not in the wrong. I've felt like that when I left my dogs outside for no longer than an hour and I got a call from the home owner saying I'm abusing them cuz they had no food or water out. It wasn't hot out, they had shade, they're on a strict feeding schedule to control potty breaks since they're indoor dogs, and everybody is trained. Now whenever I rescue others I understand they can just as easily feel defensive how I felt being told all those untrue assumptions

[@littlenikki9539]

What a sweetheart, you could see just how relaxed he was and that he thoroughly enjoyed his oil massage 🥰🥰🥰

glad you rescued him! I saw a guinea pig living in a FISH tank near me and i couldnt take him so I found a guinea pig rescue that was hopefully able to help.

Wilber was the name that popped into my mind, but Ollie is such a great name. He is so cute. I hope you keep him so we can see more of him.

[@judidownes9141]

Hi Austin, Thanks again for rescuing this little boy! I don't know if this is something you might need to do for Ollie. Saskia from L.A guinea pig rescue always has a heating pad in her skinny pig cages as they are often cold at normal temperatures for guinea pigs with fur. I think Saskia has a vidoe on it somewhere in her listings. Good luck with little Ollie. Somehow i think he might have already found his forever home 🤔 This is the name of the video i mentioned incase you want to take a look: What you really need to know before buying a skinny pig 😘

[@bashlee09]

as long as your house is a good temperature they really don't need a heating pad, now if the house falls below like 65f I'd recommend one.

[@ThePigRoom]

I actually watched that entire video before rescuing him ❤️ My house does not fall below 65 degrees so the temperature is perfectly manageable for him especially with his cuddle sack! I also put a pig mat on top of the tree trunk house to insulate it even more for him! He’s settling in very nicely ❤️

[@claudieC.]

Yes I have a pet heating pad for my skinnys. I'm in CA and definently need it in cooler months.

[@lavendarj7318]

My skinny pigs have their own heating pads.. they love them … bless it

[@LoveBunnyRabbitry]

Saskia recommends a heating pad for baldwins to help keep them warm,, he is just the cutest

[@yoshidababies4222]

I love your rescue videos! They fill me with such warm feels!!!

[@Juno..113]

This is only the second video if watched of the pig room and I’m obsessed!

[@vixxenreigns]

I'm not a fan off the hairless guinea pigs but this one is really cute. I think you're right....he wouldn't be as cute without the black ear and black eye patch.

[@ThePigRoom]

Right?! The eye patch sold me ❤️ He’s quite a cute boy!

[@caitllinlee8598]

a little tip from someone who has skinnys, I've seen some poeple who give their pigs a rub down with coconut oil every few days or on some kind of routine. I would caution against this. I find that when i give my hairless guinea pig coconut oil it can almost make his skin more dry. I think its because when you apply coconut oil often, the guinea pigs skin will stop producing its own natural oils,,,, aka it becomes dependent on coconut oil for moisture. My vet and I agreed that only using coconut oil in extremely small doses and only when NEEDED. This means not washing your big with soaps often. Im talking like once or twice a year and if needed. When my skinny pig gets dirty i will clean him with a damp cloth (only water, no soap). I only use soap if its SUPER necessary. Washing your skinny will remove his natural oils and lead to very try skin. I hope this wasn't too dis-jointed of a post, just thought id touch on what works for me and my piggies. Of course, the best advice comes from a vet so always turn to them!

[@Hayz.G]

Omg so cute and i think he loved that pamper you gave him

[@robinlove3280]

He’s adorable! It would be hard to let him go.💕

[@mandymckk]

I wish I had your channel to learn from when my family had a Guinea pig when I was a little kid in the early 2000s! We did our best and my mom did a lot of research, but there just wasn’t as much information out there about how to properly care for a pig and if we had known more then, we probably would have done things differently. Now if I ever get another Guinea pig, I’ll know what to do! You’re improving lives for Guinea pigs and their owners one video at a time!

[@averywalker9365]

Thank you for rescuing this sweet boy! I’ve actually heard that coconut oil(or any kind of oil) isn’t safe for skinnies or baldwins. It can actually clog their pores and cause skin issues. If they do have crust or any kind of dry skin, there is an underlying issue.

[@karenkeck9936]

I love you guys! You are one of the best! I have learned so much from you. I have 2 boys and 3 girls in 2 large C&C cages. Please keep up the great work.

I am 13yo, and I have four guinea pigs and in a 2x7 c&c cage and my aunt has three and keeps them in a rat cage, 2x2 with a second story that is a 2x1. That is way to small and every time I tell her that she says 'oh well. At least I'm not in there'

[@jiyuotaku]

It's always exciting to see how the cages are set up in countries other than mine (Germany). I don't want to condemn that at all. We focus on natural bedding with hay and straw, only natural decoration. absolutely no plastic. exciting! Nevertheless, I believe that the guinea pigs have a wonderful life with you. And that is the main thing. :) Your work is very important, thank you very much for it!!

[@charlottelake2646]

I have rescued so many animals recently and out of the 20+ rescued only half of them actually have been rehomed so I currently have 16 pigs which will stay with me till and if they find there homes. But they will have a home with me no matter what. I have dealt with some horrible situations but all I needed to do was just get them out of there. And that’s what matters. I’m just as nice as possible to them and then will sort the situation when we get them xx

[@Alexa-xl1gi]

He is SO CUTE. I’m so glad he’s found a better home with you. I kinda want one now haha

[@magical.melody674]

He’s so adorable!! Ollie is such a great name to. Such a good fit!

[@ajhpetlover]

Ollie is adorable! I would describe the feeling when you hold him like a chamois covered hot water bottle! I had rescued a cat who came with the name Oliver and was also called Ollie! He even came with his own cat tree so he could look out windows! All my pets now are indoors and all are rescues. I used to have guinea pigs and rabbits For many years. Bunnies are more reliably litter box trained but much as I would like a few Piggies again I fear living with noisy dogs would terrify them and wouldn’t want any animal to live always feeling stress or fear. My pigs used to play with cats they loved to sneak up and nibble on the tail! But definitely not for kids I agree with you there. All animals need to have an adult responsible for their wellbeing, cant rightly expect that from a child. Parents can show kids to help with tasks but never should a child be expected to remember all the things that a pet needs and carry them out without supervision.

[@rowdyrats7035]

He looks so cute! Ollie, your future is a lot brighter now. ❤

[@Reese_LovesArt]

Omg you are literally my favourite KZbinr lol but I think the cage is a bird cage because the compartment at the bottom is for bird seed and there is a tray at the bottom and bird cages come with all those features. Also the lock on the door is a very big give away and the spaces between the bars are for branches. Hope that you see this❤

[@Cisfruity]
