- www.scottysani... I got a message when I was out in the desert about a family who saved a bunch of guinea pigs that were abandoned in a trailer. Animal Control told them just to put them outside but they knew in their heart that wasn't the right thing to do. They reached out to me for advice.
I am so glad I could share their story. We need more families like this! Many of the links above are affiliate links. These help support my rescue efforts. As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. They ad no extra cost to you.
I'm so disturbed by animal control's suggestion of releasing non-native animals into the wild! WTF??
WHAT??!
How about just defenseless animals.
I'll never understand how someone could just abandon an animal....It's pretty much a death sentence.
American Made I agree! As a pig mom that broke my heart!
Your a nice person
Shame on animal control :-( So happy these pigs were taken in by Autumn and her family.
I adopted Olive and Sweet Pea! They are absolute joys to have, and definetely let me know when they want food or attention. I did rename Sweet pea to Bear, because to me she looked like a little baby bear! I'm completely overjoyed that I adopted them last Saturday (December 28, 2019). Thank you all for rescuing them from their awful conditions, and that now I am able to give them the home they deserve.
Poor piggies! Some people are really heartless. Thank God for the rescue!
Sweet babies! What a nice couple. I can't imagine dumping animals like that.
Edit: omg the song at the end 😂 You kill me, Scotty!
Your last comment rings so true with me. I must look after me so I can look after the innocent needy critters. I live in Australia and 3 days ago heard a galah screeching. I got there too late. Poor baby had died from stress being caught under chicken wire.
You'll be happy to know that the papa in this video is Popeye and he's still with me
I got a pair of guniea pigs one week back nd ur videos have helped me a lot thanks
Animal control said to put guinea pigs outside? How absolutely irresponsible of animal control! That is a death sentence for a guinea pig. You and Saskia should report this. I know you have clout in the community. I mean seriously report this. What is WRONG with people.
And thank God for people with kind hearts like you and Autumn.
People think it's also ok to house rabbits outside :-(
The family that actually heard the remark is the only one who can report it and expect action. other wise it is second hand, and not considered reliable enough to accuse someone (unless your the President I guess.) lol. . but yes I have had our animal pound lie to me before and cost lives of animals. sad. We are in Utah, and we only have one no kill shelter in the state.
Well done Scott. Don’t give up doing what you are doing. People all round the world take comfort from the good work you do.
it makes me so happy hearing someone say they would never put the piggies outside even when animal patrol said to do so.. huge props to this person.
Wow. Loved Marshmallow. blows my mind someone in animal control could utter those words! Justin was spot on. What lovely people. This made me smile lots. LOVE LOVE LOVE the song! Oh yeah!
Awww sweet babies
What great people! That includes you as well, Scott. It's amazing what can happen when the right people connect under dire circumstances.
My sister Danielle is in love with you and the way you care for animals
When I was living around Las Vegas in 2019, there was a family that released 2 of their pet rabbits at a little park in the desert. I had a friend who lived next to it and would leave food and water for them. They came every night for a snack and a drink, but they did not trust anyone enough to pick them up. Multiple people tried calling animal control and rescues, but no one ever came to get them. I only lived there for about 2 months, but I still hope they're okay considering there wasn't much edible vegetation.
Scotty’s big heart in action again!
Cool video Scotty! Thank goodness for that couple! I just can't believe that people leave animals just alone, that just irratates me, it's very sad.
Well done on Autumn and her family, may they now find the right balance of guinea numbers. the only problem is one guinea pig is never enough you will want another one :)
Scotty that was a beautiful story God Bless the people who care enough to help on helpless animals
It's sad that people leave animals out without nothing in the dessert . I have 14 guinea pigs and love them too bits . I would adopt more if I could from your rescue center but I'm in Scotland 😊
Lucky I would love to live in Scotland
I keep seeing this come up on my RUclips suggest videos and even though I don't believe the outcome was grim, I can't get myself to watch it. I can't even imagine abandoning any animal that cannot fend for its self let alone being an animal control person and actually telling people (and be ok with it) to leave completely vulnerable animals out in the hot sun. Shame on any and all of them.
You are a Hero Scott what you do is just admirable caring for vulnerable animals, I too care about animals and try to see things from their point of view and to me most animals are scared for their life most of the time so I try to be respectful and gentle with them. I get along great with our guinea pigs and my family wonder why they react to me better :)
I LOVE the colors!
What good guinea pig fosters
Compassion goes a long way. Scotty you re awesome. 🐣🐦🐰🐁🐢
The big piggie in the pink cage looks so similar to my girl groot, to think my piggies could have ended up with someone who would abandan them made me so sad when I saw that piggie
Thanks to people like you, your a animal heroe high five🙌🙌🙌
They are so wonderful to take in these sweet piggies! Thanks for helping them with their setup
bless those people and you..the world needs more warm hearts..i work for (freely translated) the animal ambulance and rescue many wild and domestic animals,,its terrible to see how many people just put their piggies/rabbits/chickens and many more just out on the street to vent for themselfs..im a piggiemom(6 piggies) and my heart cries when we find 1 out on the streets..keep on doing the amazing things you do Scott..you are an amazing and caring human being and i hope the world gets more of them
Great set up. I just started Sarah's Non Profit Guinea Pig Rescue in Tampa Bay Florida. Cheers!
I'm glad you all rescued the sweeties. 💗💖💕💞. Anyone who could abandon them or harm them should be ashamed. And shouldn't even own furbabies.
I wish they were in Iowa so I could adopt some of these lil ones... young or old.
Scotty,
Thanks for helping these guinea pigs. I think you are a guinea pig guardian angel.
It’s great that they are no longer snake food.
And in a better living environment than they were.
Although I would suggest that the Mom guinea pig should have the bigger cage, not the Dad guinea pig.
Hope they all have a more happy healthier life than they did.
I’m not much for snakes, but maybe there’s a rescue place for them as well.
Angie
Hi Angie, thank you for your comment. you will be happy to hear, both will be getting a larger space! I wanted the boys to have the space, because 3 boys would usually fight and the most space they can have, the better. The mama and her baby girl will be getting a cage upgrade as well.
That’s great. 🐹
Animal Control should be more informed. They need educating cause they're giving people the wrong info. So glad the piggies were rescued by such kind souls.
By the way, the green bag Oxbow pellets Autumn has there isn't good for young, active, pregnant /lactating piggies. (It even says so on Oxbow website.) She should get the red bags instead or just get Sherwood pellets instead since they're most nutritious and have no molasses and fillers.
Animal control needs to be educated on piggies. So glad these were rescued. Popeye is so cute. Nice to see him when he was a baby.
That's Awsome!!! Glad they saved all the animals that they did!!! Animal Control was not educated enough to know that the animals would die. 👿👿😢WHAT!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! Thank You Scott For Sharing👍👍😎😍
I love hearing about decent people rescuing animals. This is a great video.
PS - the ending was especially good!
Big shout out to those people opening their home and hearts to these endangered neglected babies. We need more people like them.
I hope someone can help the snakes 😞 They seem to get abandoned a lot too, but thank goodness the piggies are ok now!
My first rattie was left in an abandoned apartment. The maintenance man brought her to the veterinary hospital where I was working. I named her Pepper and she was the start of my love of rats. There have been many many more since her but she will always be the one who inspired me to adopt and care for these wonderful animals.
Justin and Autumn, if you are reading this you should set up a go fund me to help you guys with your rescues. There are many, many amazing people out here willing to help you.
Bless you so much. It's humans like you two that make humans like me feel honored♥️
Scotty thank you for bringing light to the situation.
I feel so bad after hearing this story.
U r a very handsome young man and u care for guinea pigs as well as other animals u r a Godsend to these animals.
3:26 shows why the cage panels with 8 holes are dangerous for small piggies. The variant with 9 holes has smaller holes and that reduces the risk on a piggy getting their heads stuck.
So glad there are people like this in the world.
Thank god for people like you rescuing these guys xxx
I can't believe people will leave animals like that in the middle of nowhere so sad
And by the way the end of Scotty singing cracked me up
sara, hahaha :D
Thank you Autumn and family y’all ROCK!! 🐾💕🥰💕🐾
Scotty, you are so cute and funny! Thank you for helping the piggies.
she seems wonderful
Oh, I can't take it! I have to click off, I can't just take the story! So, so happy to know you're on Board, Scotty! Animal Control? I doubt it! What a terrible shame! This is just too sad, I can't stand to hear neglect and to know how those beautiful piggies were found! I am going to cry right now!
A very nice loving couple. May God bless them for their kindness. Would love to send Autumn & Justin some things for the piggies & ducks. Can you tell me how?
Beautiful story .Really good persons making us believe in humanity little more.Old french lady.
You are such a good person Scotty! And what a great family they are! People after my own heart!
Scott you have been an amazing inspiration to me! I love your positivity and kindness!
Thank you soooooo much for all your help!!!!
Hi Scotty!!!!! My Frist thought when you met Justin and Autumn was ---Scotty made New Friends,Scotty mad New Friends!!!
They seem really nice. I am Happy for you to meet nice people and Happy for the Piggies.
Marshmallow was cute too.
I love those two people!!! Amazing story! Good on you guys!
Scotty is just adorable too xx
Aww, this breaks my heart that someone could abandon piggies (and snakes!!) like this
Rock on, Scotty. Rock on.
That was awesome
I love your message at the end of the video that really hit home for me
Thank you for being awesome!
Gotta keep'em separated! Gonna need another c&c cage but nice of them to try to help out and save these little ones.
Always noticed your cc cages.. deff thinking on upgrading my guineas setup
That's awesome what you did for them the babies are so cute!
I love guinea pigs. I have two, Bertha and Pita😍
Popeye & Olive Oil..... completely know their names!!! Cutie Cutie!!
Cuties!!
I ♥ this video
Its a great find Scotty 🤗🤗❤️
The set up you guys did is awesome. The best pig food is oxbow (So far, anyway). Good job!
I went to petco by my house to grab a water bottle. As I was there I looked around and saw one of there glass cages with like 6 piggies in it and as I was looking a employee came over and told me to take some home and if I didnt like these ones there was more in the back I was like what the crap. Then he said take the ones with red eyes nobody wants red eyes and I felt so sad. I didnt purchase any piggies as I have 4 and no space but still what the heck.
Happy they safed the cutties what a worldt in Holland too don tshop but adopt difficult planed if you love animale so much😭💕💕💕
Awesome people. Great vid.
We’re saving guinea pigs
We are making friends
and we’re doin’ it
we’re doing the right thing
yeah-ah yeah
When can we expect the single for this to be released? Will I be able to listen on spotify?
It will be downloadable for free on my Patreon!
popeye ❤️🌈 thats so terrible animal control said to put the pigs outside. But you gave him a good home ❤️ I remember he was besties with mike. Now they are together forever.
My dad has kept snakes for absolute years and there’s absolutely no need to feed snakes piggies! If people are doing that then it’s for kicks and nothing more.
Feeder animals should be treated with utter respect, there’s no excuse to badly treat them PLUS feeding live food to snakes.. absolutely not! Again people who do this do it for kicks.
That was amazing. What kind of bird is Marshmellow?
Some of the C & C squares are 8x8 squares, some are 9x9. The 8x8 are the ones they can stick their heads through; I'd exchange them ASAP. (I got the 8x8 ones first and switched them.)
I hate how people can just treat an animal (especially small animals) like they’re throw away toys. Like, if you can’t be responsible then don’t adopt a pet!
Just after Scotty said not to superimpose human emotions onto Guinea pigs... Lol 😅
Don’t get an animal if your heart truly isn’t in it! Rrrrrrrrr people who do this make me angry 😤
I take my giunea pigs there for a check-up
Marshmallow needs a non wire place to stand if there is none (?) I hear u say card board. That'd work.
Hi Scotty. A question please. Is it right I can use Head and Shoulders shampoo on my piggies? Thanks in advance.
I certainly hope those guinea pigs weren't being raised for snake food. Not b/c i'm against snakes (although guinea pigs seem like an unusual food choice) but b/c the pigs weren't being cared for which in turn means the snakes weren't being properly cared for. (Snakes gotta eat too, but ppl that feed them 1. normally use rats or mice 2. the rats/mice are treated well and cared for properly.
kataratify There’s absolutely no need to feed a snake a guinea pig. My dad has kept multiple species of snakes for decades and he’s disgusted with the fact some idiots feed their snakes guinea pigs.
@@Iamaguienapig I agree that it's not the first food choice - I've got pet snakes too. They eat frozen/thawed mice. I know there are -some- rare cases where snakes won't take the "typical" pray item (usually rodents). Most reputable pet owners however will try to transition the snake over to rodents (rats or mice). I'm fairly certain I've not heard of a snake -only- eating guinea pigs - but some need that size prey. Typically in that case young rabbits are used.
kataratify Actually even big snakes like my dads 20 foot female royal python can eat frozen/thawed large rats, because she’s so big she gets a few at a time.
I’m not an advocate for reptiles as pets, I think it’s cruel and unnecessary because at the end of the day they’ll never ever be domesticated and they should be free to live their lives in the wild. People who say “snakes have to eat” while dropping a live animal into their enclosure (which 9/10 is too small got them, luckily my dad takes remarkably good care of his) and watching it with a smirk are seriously fucked up people who need a mental health assessment.
Hey scotty i live 30 min away from this lady who rescued the guinea pigs! I have been looking to add a third piggy to my babies. Is it possible to get in touch with her so i can help her with two.
Just subbed!! 😍💕
amo seu canal
Do herds of several females and more than one neutered males work out? I’ve heard that groups with one male work, but never with multiple. I’m just curious.
My vet only charged 98 dollars to nueter my male
Hi Scotty. How's u? What is dis white board in the cage? Wat is dat?.i want this..
At the end, Doing a voice impersonation of... Now I can't remember. Didn't he recently pass away? The piano guy with the gravelly voice. Idk, I been out of the music biz too long now.
Could you advice them not to let the chicken be on the top of the cage? Birds poop is very acid, plus nothing healthy for the piggies. Other than that they're going to be just fine. Good thing you went to meet them 😊
I love everything about you, this love you have for guinea pigs is amazing. I too love them unconditionally and just recently rescued a skinny pig, I got her a sister too. My Instagram is 'ringo_star_the_guinea_pig' my RUclips is not nearly as successful as my Insta lol!
.
Not sure a chicken should be housed close to the pigs.
That's nice but learning how to take care of pigs on the fly isn't the best idea. Just saying. Someone needs to help these people. Watch Scotty's and Saskia videos will help.
oh she's vegan, no waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...
