Knowing your limit is important. Too many times I see pet youtubers adopt way too many animals and not be able to provide all the care they need. Its better to rehome some of your piggies to people who have the time and resources to take care of them than struggle to do it yourself. I absolutely respect your choice.
It's important to learn to know how much you can handle too so you don't get animals that you can't then take care of. Of course mistakes happen to everyone and sometimes you take on more than you can handle, as long as you don't constantly repeat it like some people do, like get an animal that you have to give away and then see another cool animal that you take in and then have to abandon too. Though if you rescue sometimes it can be hard to say no too and specially if you don't know what happens to the animal.
We had that at our house because of unwanted breeding. We were up over 30 and they were miserable. Now down to 3 neutered males and 5 females. We keep adopting new ones as older ones die now.
It happens. Recently my landlord sold my house so I was forced to move and I had to rehome almost all my animals, including my 3 guinea pigs. It was rough but I found them really great homes. The person who took my guinea pigs sends me pics of them every so often so I know they're being taken care of really well. She also said my single male gets along with one of her pigs. Ever since his cagemate died he's been a bit aggressive to my others so I had to have him separate. I'm glad he found another pig he likes
I see this as a very mature decision, the title shocked me I gotta say but you prioritising both your and the piggies well being is very commendable and I can't blame you for being overwhelmed with almost 20 of them. Rehoming is such a stigmatised topic so I really appreciate you speaking up about it because you did change my perspective on it ❤
This comment should be pinned thankyou for being a reasonable understanding person about other people's situations. It's sadly rare nowadays 💗 let's change the hate trend!!!
I fully understand and it is a big job in itself to clean and care for the pigs, I have 13 and I’m 56 with fibromyalgia, so you with all you do, is overwhelming I’m sure. I support you 100%❤
I've had to rehome a cat before when I found out I had super bad allergies. It was extremely hard because I didn't want to because I had become so attached. He is living with his new owners being spoiled rotten. Knowing that he's getting more love than I could ever give him with horrible allergie makes it alot better, I still miss him alot, and a little guilty because he seemed upset being seperated from us. but he is happier now, and that's what matters to me. Support 100,000% 💗💗💗
Always here to support you boo! You are doing what’s best for you and what’s best for them and I admire your transparency and sharing this with us. Thank you for always going above and beyond. It’s not always easy doing the right thing. Love you so much Aussie🥰💜🫶🏻
I totally understand, I have three piggies and they are a lot of work! Cage cleaning and health checks can take a lot out of you, especially after going to work or school. I admire you for making the decision, and continuing to give your piggies the best lives possible, even if it’s not with you ❤️
Well, I'm disappointed and heartbroken, but I can't say I was completely surprised. I can't imagine how much work you have and I feel you're choosing business over piggies. I think this is happening because you got so many piggies in a very short period of time, I've been part of the channel almost from the begging, like you said, you and your community and business have grown pretty fast, to the point where you slowed down with the videos and now you're rehoming piggies. I'm sure they're gonna live their best life but I can't imagine sending away any of mine, that's why I only have 5 (they were 7 originally), because I know I couldn't take care for them if they're more, even I have space and would love to adopt so many little ones in need of a good home. I respect your decision, I only hope from here on, you will be aware of your own limitations and possibilities regarding those living sweet potatoes. Keep us posted please and good luck with everything. Oh, it sucks what happened to the chickens, poor things, I remember you had a favourite one, i dont remember her name, did she survive? I hope so, they're all really cute and seem to have been part of the family for a long time now.
It is a really tough decision for me to make, but ultimately it was be better for me and the pigs. I miss being active on here and filming fun content so I cannot wait to be able to get back at it on a regular basis! And yes, if I couldn’t go back, I would have gotten pigs much slower, but what I can do now is find them amazing homes to go off to (which I have). Will not be getting anymore pigs and you can take my word for that ❤ And Angie was her name and we unfortunately lost her 😢 She came down with a respiratory issue and didn’t beat it.
I think you’ve made a very selfless and mature decision. They will be so happy with their new herds when all is said and done. It sounds like they’re going to wonderful homes. We all know how much you love every one of your piggies and it must be hard, but it’s the right thing to do. I’m sure their new owners will share lots of updates with you ❤️
It's so important to take care of yourself so you can be there for your piggies as well. Thank you for sharing this with us - you're modeling doing what's best for the piggies.
I had to rehome one of my Guinea pigs because she didn’t get along with one of my girls. I feel so much better, because she’s living with a family member and I can still see her! She has an amazing home now! So I totally understand what you are feeling🌈✨
if we give props to others who rehome, why should you be any different? thank you always for your honesty of the reality of complex pet ownership! keep on being an incredible steward of the species ❤️
This is a very mature decision to make. I have seen so many people who are just so attached to their animals that they let their level of care drop in favor of keeping them, despite knowing they can't give them the best care anymore due to a change in circumstances and it isn't fair to the animals. I know we always say we want to be their "Forever home" but its more respectable to be able to stand up and say "You know what, I need to rehome this animal to make sure it gets all the care it deserves" and then follow through on making sure they DO go to a spectacular home. But I know it isn't easy. Sending lots of good vibes to get you through the rehoming process!
I'm happy to hear that you are taking care of yourself too in this situation. If you are feeling overwhelmed- you should always downsize. There's nothing wrong with this and I hope you don't feel down on yourself moving forward. This community is here for you and I support this decision.
Ohhhh I am SO glad that you only rehomed 2 piggies! I was so worried when I saw the title. Lol - you know I was like, we do not care about the chickens today! 😂 Anyway - that's wonderful that this will free up a little more time for you. And once you get the girls bonded with that other single male, that will reduce one more cage! Yay! I only have 2 sweet boys, and they definitely do take a lot of time and care. You are AMAZING to do all you do for your piggies! Proud of you! ❤
I've had guinea pigs for the past 30 years and honestly it takes just as much love to rehome them as it does to keep them. ❤❤ Thankfully I've never had to make that decision but I can only imagine it would be a difficult and emotional one. I wish I would have known about Toby sooner I'm just not an Instagram person. I have 5 piggies now, 2 neutered males and 3 females in a big enclosure in my living room and I absolutely would have taken Toby even if it meant driving 8 and a half hours from Ohio to you. I think a lot of us in this community can say we've fallen in love with your piggies just as much as you. And goodness knows we obviously love your products! My piggies absolutely love their guinea bunk beds with the mats! I have one little girl that only sleeps on the top bunk never on the bottom one and it's absolutely adorable to see her on it.
Hi! I just want to say I totally get what you’re saying. I run my own growing business alone, and have kids and two piggies. I often find it hard to be present for my kids and pets because my mind and time is taken by my business, and then I’m just so exhausted from the mental load at the end of the day. It’s hard, but you’ll find a new swing of things. You might need to outsource more things (ie hire staff) to do more for the media or merchandise side of things so you can free up your own time. You’ll find a way! In the meantime, we’re still here and enjoying your content! And I wish your two boys happy new lives!!❤
I got both of my girl piggies from rehoming and it was the best thing that happened to me. They are my happiness with all their sass and popcorns. My youngest girl just escaped her play pen and was running around my kitchen, if that nice lady hadn’t rehomed her I would’ve never had this joy and confusion everytime she did crazy weird things! Rehoming is great when it’s best for the animal, and the people who end up loving them in the end. Austin what your doing is amazing and changes loves for the better. Never feel bad about it. Ashton and Toby will be happy with cage mates and he’ll be so happy.
you have no idea how many people wouldnt admit they cant care for their pets anymore and rehome them. most would keep them around because the apparent trophy of having a pet is more important than the pet itself, or they wouldnt put in the time to rehome them to sustainable homes. it's a very honorable action to take, and this is why i started following you in the first place
This newly founded culture of hallowing animals and sanctifying anybody that prioritises their care over themselves’ and other human beings’ is pure airheadedness, and edging on borderline insanity to me. People self proclaim their identity that of a virtuous care-taker of the pet, the most morally elevated person that could possibly be. They’d never want the public’s perception of them as sympathetic animal whisperers to dissolve, so they’d rather hog the animal under the guise of ‘keeping family’ instead of giving it away to a capable provider.
You are a wonderful piggie father, and what you are doing for Ashton and Toby just makes me feel so good inside. I know it was a hard decision to make for your two sweet guys, but your giving them to people who love piggies as much as you do.
I have found your channel because im adopting two piggies once theyre 8 weeks at the end of July. Brand new piggy owner, i have two dogs but never had guinea pigs. Ive been educating myself on RUclips as to what they need, how to care for them etc. I just wanted to say, you are doing an amazing job being such an amazing carer.
Idk.. I feel like only me can take good care of my pets, because I know I'll take them to the vet, feed them, keep them safe, etc.. people promise the world but your home IS an amazing home, what if the next owner decides to rehome them too for whatever reasons?
You are being a responsible owner by giving them the best life, even if that means it is with someone else. I know that’s a hard decision to make but you will all be better because of it 💜
Sometimes, in life, we have her decisions to make, sounds like the boys are both going to two very good homes. And I know you love those boys both very much.❤
Must’ve been a very tough decision to rehome some of your guinea pigs. I know how much you love them. And if the boys are going to be able to hang out with girls and stuff and have a hard relationship, I think that’s great.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with re-homing. However…. I’m not a fan of getting more then rehoming. Or, rehoming then getting more. That’s when I feel like it’s not right.
I made the same decision recently, my 2 boys didn't get along and I decided to rehome them to people who will bond them to others. Now the bigger boy is bonded to a baby boy and the smaller boy lives with a herd of females 😊 at the same time as I was already racking my brain how I could give them company, I started to have major hay allergies... So I decided it would be best for all of us to go different directions...
I love your chickens, I have a few myself! I’m sorry for your chicken lost! Just few tips, be careful with the bungee cord, a raccoon could definitely still get into your chicken coop easily, I would replace the bungee cord with a pad lock/ hatch with a key for extra security! Also a hardware cloth skirt around the run/coop for any digging predators And lastly make sure you check your chickens feet occasionally, similar to Guinea pigs, chickens can also develop bumblefoot too! Good luck to you and your chickens/ Guinea piggies
Hi Pigman, (I am only calling you that because, in one of your videos, you said you were like one of the guinea pigs, yourself, and you and your channel were the reasons that my fiancee and I got our guinea pigs, totally a loving tribute name! You're gorgeous, and surely you know. 💕) It completely makes sense what you said in your videos - work gets overwhelming, and we only have 24 hours in a day. Thank you for your courage to be honest and open, it's super inspiring. I am so glad that your two males may go to wonderful homes. Your mental, emotional, and physical health is so important, so it's a vital choice for you. On the business end, our family loves your products (especially the piggies - Esme (Esmeralda) and Izzy (Isabella)), we have two and when we only put one in our cage for them, they would fight over it! There are always two inside at all times now. They use the top often, which is amazing, and so cute. Still waiting to buy more products once they're available, but no rush! But always excited to see the items arrive. Grateful to have found your channel that led to us meeting our baby piggies - they bring me joy every day, especially when life is stressful... just staring at their silly antics and cute faces and tushes. Always excited about your RUclips videos as well. -LiViD (from Lily and Dave)
I think it’s an important lesson to learn for anyone that as much as you really want another pet sometimes it comes down to, “do I really have the time/energy/resources to care for this pet for the next X years every single day”. I can barely keep up with 4 piggies (2 are fosters) and full time work so I understand how overwhelming it would be. If you had just one big herd/cage you would likely find you have a much better balance - it’s important to have downtime for yourself too! Working all the time and then spending the rest of it cage cleaning is going to burn out the best of people. Good luck with the rehoming, I think it’s definitely the right call.
It might be sad 😞 but it’s shows how much you love them ❤also can you share a video on how you stacked the boys cages ? I want to know how because I might be getting 2 more piggies
❤ I wish the best for the piggies. It's hard to decide this,but at least you're putting thoughts into where they will be. I only have 2 boars, I work 2 jobs so I have no time for more animal friends! You have a lot of little piggies and other animals also! I hope they will do well
I'm not surprised that you ran into the realisation that the work is getting too much to keep up with. I called it and got shamed in previous videos. It's good to know that you managed to find good homes for your boys. Hopefully, you can get more of your boys neutered in the future, so they can make friends easier. 👍
Hi Austin, having to rehome your pets due to the demands and financial restrictions of caring for them can be one of the most heart breaking and brave things that you can ever do for your pets. It can be a tough decision. I feel for you so much and hope you find loving and caring homes for your beautiful piggies. I admire your selflessness in putting your pets welfare above your own feelings and needs. You truly are a beautiful person. I wish you all the best in the future and pray your heart will heal in time. Thinking of you and the warmest of wishes your biggest fans love Deb's xxxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dearest Austin, please don't feel bad about airing your Ginnie pigs footage on you tube. This is a time in your life when you are launching a new business and are a care giver to multiple pets. Feeling not enough is never good and very hurtful to your wellbeing. Please know that your fans have your back and I will pray that this burden is lifted off if you because it is one you should never have to carry alone. Reach out to your fans, your friends and loved ones. Set a limit each day in how much you are physically able to do and if it means rehoming more animals it best for you and for them too if you are feeling overwhelmed. It won't be like this forever, soon I'm sure that you will have more assistance with your business as it continues to grow and I pray that it dose continue to flourish. For now please do take care of yourself and just take a day at a time. Best wishes Debbie ❤😊
I will miss the piggies that are leaving. You are good to take care of all these pigs and I definitely understand how it is hard to keep up with them❤. I only have 2 and they’re a handful!
I adopted 2 piggies last September that was in terrible shape! That was older sadly they just passed away this week I miss them so much. I'm so glad you have so many piggies makes me happy to see
I completely understand and support your decision. You have been an inspiration to me and many others who only want the best for their pets. Sending love and hugs your way ❤️
I recently lost one of my pigs and going from 2 cages down to 1 makes such a big difference on full cleanout days. You have to do what's best for both the pigs and yourself. Good luck going forwards ❤
Hard ware cloth should be used around the run or any openings to your coop. Chicken wire is like paper to most predators. They should also be locked up tight in the coop from dusk to dawn. A lock requiring a key is best. You also need more roosting bars. 10 inches per chicken. 2x4 is the perfect bar so they can cover their feet at night.
I have a tip for you, hope it helps. Add some concrete slabs around the feeder and drinker to prevent them from being uncovered and forming holes and mud in the ground
OMG!! What timing for my order! Time warp! I got them before the video came out. Thank you. Best of luck to Ashton & fingers crossed that Toby is just as fortunate.
Henrietta is a Henry... And I know just what you mean about the chickens and piggies. I have 2 indoor chickens, they play with the piggies on the floor. Mine are all bonded it's so weird. Also I'm so proud of you for doing what you think is best for you and your piggies.
Much respect to you for recognizing what’s best for both you and the piggies. Knowing that your two boys are in good homes will give you such relief. What a great example and ambassador you are! Also, can we talk about how cute that haircut is on you?😊😍
I also had to rehome my Guinea pigs..I had 2 Guinea pigs from September 2022 to I think march 2023, because I felt like I couldn’t take care of them because of depression. And I was 14 (my birthday was may) when I had to let them go. In my opinion, I think it’s a good idea to know when you can’t take care of a pet as well as you used to and rehouse them so they can have a little bit of a better life. Now it’s September 2023 and I still miss them but I feel like I did the right thing. It’s hard to let pets/friends/family go. I also had a hard time keeping up with both piggies that I had, and I also loved them dearly, they were named Coco and Oreo, and they were a little more then a year old when Coco and Oreo where rehomed. I got them when they where 7 to 8 months old at a pet smart. They were to sweet.
This subject is an important one as a pet owner and it really is sad that someone might feel ashamed at having to take the decision of rehoming some pets. It does not make you a bad caretaker. On the opposite in my mind. And it shows a great understanding on your limits as well as that of your character. ❤ It is heartbreaking to let a being go that one greatly love, and to be able to do so shows how much you care of you and your herds. ❤
Hi, I just found your channel. I love it, and have learned soooooo much!! I have always had bunnies, and am obsessed with meeting all of my animal's needs the right way. I am about to adopt 2 guinea pigs, and thanks to you, I am feeling very well prepared!! So, thank you, but I have one question...When I first bring my guinea pigs home, how long should I wait to try to take them out of the cage? Like, how long until they are settled enough? Also, one more question...when introducing vegetables to my guinea pigs for the first time, do I introduce just one at a time for a period of time, or can I do several veggies at once? Thank you for your dedication to your animals, and for showing people the right way to treat their piggies...❤
I know how hard it is to let a pet go, but just remember ur doing the right thing b/c u recognized that it wasn’t fair to ur babies and that is a very reasonable and mature thing to do. Sending so much love and support ❤
I got news for ya. That Henrietta of yours is def a rooster. Think a name change may be in order. I love birds, esp chickens and yours are super cute!!!! I have had chickens literally all of my life. They are the most curious and somewhat dumb animals. My favorite has to be bantam frizzles, you should look them up - they kind of resemble a curly piggie to me. Best of luck and happy memories. :)
My husband left me and my kids and I'm super overwhelmed being a single mom of 3. I need to rehome my 2 boys. But there's such an over abundance of guinea pigs in the rescues I can't find a reacue to take them. Or any people to take them. I'm so torn up over it because I committed to them and now I'm struggling to care for them.
You are beautiful and brave and you can do this now do it with me deep breath in hold 1 2 3 deep breaths out there there you will never be alone in your life you have a big heart ❤️ and you will get through this 😊🐹
It’s good that the single piggies are getting some friends now! it does make me a little sad when people get new animals and keep them and don’t prioritize the ones that they had originally but with this it’s more understandable since they are alone and will now have a better life.
I get it totally!! That taller chicken is a rooster. Should help with predators some. We have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 3 rabbits, a parrot all inside. Then laying hens and now meat birds outside. Large garden too. It gets overwhelming. Big hugs!!
I've never been able to buy from the pig room because it's always sold out of what I want so although I'm sad to see some pigs go I'm very excited for this new chapter.
I think a great solution would be getting more help for your business. What happens if it keeps growing more & more & you have less time? Then what? surrender more or pay them less care. Jst saying it’s something you should consider. Pets are like family & they should be a long term commitment & priority
You don’t really get to decide what his connection with his pets should be likened to. You may view your pets as family, others may simply be caring for them out of empathy and may not have an issue with placing them in the care of other capable hands.
Ok, so what you mean? You are literally saying Austin’s pigs are just there for content? I mean fair… but😂 Sharon has a great point. I am sure Austin views his pigs as family, so you are just 100% wrong there lol. So still all in all he is giving up his family for his business.
The connection with his pets is obvious based on all his vids. Insta lives etc. He’s always talking about it & shows it. Don’t try to deflect from what’s shown. The only reason I even wrote this was because he puts himself in a high ground. He’s judge other pet owners about poor care etc and he’s literally admitting to not being on top of his care bcs of his business. Im not crucifying him, I’m jst saying he could think of a diff solution so he can continue to care for all of them. he had nvr thought of surrendering before. He says it himself. That means he sees them as long term obviously.
This is completely understandable I have 4 guinea pigs, a rabbit and a hamster and it's a lot of work, I can't imagine having 17 guinea pigs, you made the right decision even thought it was hard.
today I was cleaning my guinea pigs cage and one appeared to have a large lump on their side where she was also losing hair. I'm so worried for her and my mom won't let me take her to a vet. do you know what this is and how I could help it I'm really worried for her!
You don’t want it to be a chore. Rehoming some of your piggies is 100% the right move. Your youtube and business help thousands of piggies! I think you should consider rehoming even more ❤
The best life for a boar is neutered and with one or more females. We adopted our first 2 boars at 2 yo. One died at 5 because of my poor care. The other lived to ten. We are back up to 8. 3 neuts and 5 girls. Newest adoptee is
I need advice if I have two Guinea pigs but I’m starting to have less money and time to afford amazing care for them. So I’ve been thinking of rehomeing them. It’s hard to do though but if I feel I don’t have time to give them perfect care does that mean I should re home them?
I totally understand and respect your decisions on rehoming toby and ashton. You are doign what is best for you, ypur business, your current piggies and they will thank you for it in the long run. I saw you where also rehoming ezra and kai on Instagram. Is that still happening or are you able to keep those 2 sweet boys?
thank you for helping me bc i rlly want some guinea pig and you help me sooooooooooo much thank you for everything I will always watch you and yah and I rlly like your vids
Not gonna lie, found this video as I was looking for you for some advice. Now I feel horrible coming here to ask advice because I just don't know what to do for the guinea pig I had been fostering, but his original owner passed away and I don't trust anyone to take him in. I can't afford to get him a friend but he was alone for years before even I got him. He doesn't get along with my other animals so a friend for him felt like it'd be an expensive fail. He plucks his cage bars though. And he won't stop. It used to be how he tells me he's sick of waiting and then I got him to stop when we got a better living situation. I don't know what to do. All day, every day. He has reusable soft liners I try to give him toys but he's picky AF. He's refusing to eat his hay, demanding pellets at all times of the day even after he's had and eaten what he's supposed to have. Even after he's had his salad, he starts in. I can't take it but I don't know what to do. Attack me all you want RUclips commenter's but I'm going to admit he makes me so angry I start screaming. He makes me so upset I start to feel like I want to hurt him. I need some helpful advice or I'm going to have to rehome him. Whether I want to give up on my best friends guinea pig or not, my mental health can't take it.
@@ThePigRoom I watched the video. You literally said your business is taking up your time so you don’t have time for your pigs. So instead of cutting back on your business you’re rehoming your animals. Shitty choice tbh.
@@Iamaguienapig This is how I make a living and continue to pay for my animals needs so realistically, it’s what has to come first. Also, as I mentioned, I haven’t been present on here as much as I would like and really miss it. Rehoming my pigs will help give me more time to focus on my business, make RUclips videos, take care of my pigs, keep up with their daily tasks, etc. And again, they are going off to AMAZING new homes and will have cage mates which is WAY BETTER than living alone with me. So all in all, I’d say that’s a pretty selfless thing to do on my end.
@@Iamaguienapig I agree w/ you. It’s not like Austin is running a rescue. He knew what he was getting into when he adopted / rescued his collective 19 pigs and then started a business. Also I have 0 understanding how no one is catching him in his lie of “I am rehoming 2 pigs” when he literally is rehoming 4 in total. I don’t trust liars in the least bit. Austin gives narcissistic energy when he says he is being selfless. Literally this is him being selfish to himself and his business like😅
@@ThePigRoom You knew what you were getting into when you built up a collection of 19 pigs. You come off as extremely narcissistic and I know I’m not the only one who thinks so. That’s the issue I have with pet tubers, you collect animals for views and likes then get overwhelmed so rehome them. I’ve seen that you have done some good rescues but then give them already overwhelmed shelters! 😂 You should rehome them all yourself not dump them on other people. Seriously pet tubers should be banned from RUclips!
Having to rehome is sad but for your health and your happiness and your business is good. I will be sad to see them go but I am glad that they will be going to new great homes.
I think it’s very selfless to acknowledge that you can’t provide the best lifestyle to the boys and to find them amazing homes where they can live with friends
Aww sorry u gotta rehome yr babies I was so sad when I had to rehome mine I have 2 I love them to death but my 2 turned into 40 mines were supposed to be girls to my surprise babies came I was new to this I was separating the little families but it was to hard to expensive and no room I found a lady now my friend that took guinea pigs when people couldn't care for them so now I'm left with the momma roo and one of the daughters frm roos babies and her name is rose but best wishes to u

Knowing your limit is important. Too many times I see pet youtubers adopt way too many animals and not be able to provide all the care they need. Its better to rehome some of your piggies to people who have the time and resources to take care of them than struggle to do it yourself. I absolutely respect your choice.
I 100 percent agree with this
It's important to learn to know how much you can handle too so you don't get animals that you can't then take care of. Of course mistakes happen to everyone and sometimes you take on more than you can handle, as long as you don't constantly repeat it like some people do, like get an animal that you have to give away and then see another cool animal that you take in and then have to abandon too. Though if you rescue sometimes it can be hard to say no too and specially if you don't know what happens to the animal.
I wish I could convince my mom this about our rats we have so many that their care is suffering
Yeah I agree 👍
We had that at our house because of unwanted breeding. We were up over 30 and they were miserable. Now down to 3 neutered males and 5 females. We keep adopting new ones as older ones die now.
Youre not throwing them away, youre giving them an even better life
Exactly! They are going to enjoy their lives so much more with cage mates ❤
The fact that you have decided to re-home some of your piggies shows how much you love them. You do an awesome job with them.
It happens. Recently my landlord sold my house so I was forced to move and I had to rehome almost all my animals, including my 3 guinea pigs. It was rough but I found them really great homes. The person who took my guinea pigs sends me pics of them every so often so I know they're being taken care of really well. She also said my single male gets along with one of her pigs. Ever since his cagemate died he's been a bit aggressive to my others so I had to have him separate. I'm glad he found another pig he likes
I see this as a very mature decision, the title shocked me I gotta say but you prioritising both your and the piggies well being is very commendable and I can't blame you for being overwhelmed with almost 20 of them. Rehoming is such a stigmatised topic so I really appreciate you speaking up about it because you did change my perspective on it ❤
This comment should be pinned thankyou for being a reasonable understanding person about other people's situations. It's sadly rare nowadays 💗 let's change the hate trend!!!
Well said ❤️
thank you for the kind words! i can’t wait for Ashton to join my little family! 🥰
So excited for him and his future! ❤
It sounds like he’s going to a great home! Please post videos of Ashton with his new herd 🙂❤️
It made me so happy to see a great cage and herd for Ashton to join, so happy he's going to a great place!!
Awe congrats on your new piggie! Thank you for stepping forward to give Ashton a new home and hope he bonds easily with your piggies🐹🥰🫶🏻
congrats!
I fully understand and it is a big job in itself to clean and care for the pigs, I have 13 and I’m 56 with fibromyalgia, so you with all you do, is overwhelming I’m sure. I support you 100%❤
Then why have so many?! So stupid.
I've had to rehome a cat before when I found out I had super bad allergies. It was extremely hard because I didn't want to because I had become so attached. He is living with his new owners being spoiled rotten. Knowing that he's getting more love than I could ever give him with horrible allergie makes it alot better, I still miss him alot, and a little guilty because he seemed upset being seperated from us. but he is happier now, and that's what matters to me. Support 100,000% 💗💗💗
Always here to support you boo! You are doing what’s best for you and what’s best for them and I admire your transparency and sharing this with us. Thank you for always going above and beyond. It’s not always easy doing the right thing. Love you so much Aussie🥰💜🫶🏻
I totally understand, I have three piggies and they are a lot of work! Cage cleaning and health checks can take a lot out of you, especially after going to work or school. I admire you for making the decision, and continuing to give your piggies the best lives possible, even if it’s not with you ❤️
Well, I'm disappointed and heartbroken, but I can't say I was completely surprised. I can't imagine how much work you have and I feel you're choosing business over piggies. I think this is happening because you got so many piggies in a very short period of time, I've been part of the channel almost from the begging, like you said, you and your community and business have grown pretty fast, to the point where you slowed down with the videos and now you're rehoming piggies. I'm sure they're gonna live their best life but I can't imagine sending away any of mine, that's why I only have 5 (they were 7 originally), because I know I couldn't take care for them if they're more, even I have space and would love to adopt so many little ones in need of a good home. I respect your decision, I only hope from here on, you will be aware of your own limitations and possibilities regarding those living sweet potatoes. Keep us posted please and good luck with everything. Oh, it sucks what happened to the chickens, poor things, I remember you had a favourite one, i dont remember her name, did she survive? I hope so, they're all really cute and seem to have been part of the family for a long time now.
It is a really tough decision for me to make, but ultimately it was be better for me and the pigs. I miss being active on here and filming fun content so I cannot wait to be able to get back at it on a regular basis! And yes, if I couldn’t go back, I would have gotten pigs much slower, but what I can do now is find them amazing homes to go off to (which I have). Will not be getting anymore pigs and you can take my word for that ❤
And Angie was her name and we unfortunately lost her 😢 She came down with a respiratory issue and didn’t beat it.
I think you’ve made a very selfless and mature decision. They will be so happy with their new herds when all is said and done. It sounds like they’re going to wonderful homes. We all know how much you love every one of your piggies and it must be hard, but it’s the right thing to do. I’m sure their new owners will share lots of updates with you ❤️
It's so important to take care of yourself so you can be there for your piggies as well. Thank you for sharing this with us - you're modeling doing what's best for the piggies.
I had to rehome one of my Guinea pigs because she didn’t get along with one of my girls. I feel so much better, because she’s living with a family member and I can still see her! She has an amazing home now! So I totally understand what you are feeling🌈✨
It’s all about what’s best for the piggies ❤ I’m glad everyone is happy now 😊
if we give props to others who rehome, why should you be any different? thank you always for your honesty of the reality of complex pet ownership! keep on being an incredible steward of the species ❤️
This is a very mature decision to make. I have seen so many people who are just so attached to their animals that they let their level of care drop in favor of keeping them, despite knowing they can't give them the best care anymore due to a change in circumstances and it isn't fair to the animals. I know we always say we want to be their "Forever home" but its more respectable to be able to stand up and say "You know what, I need to rehome this animal to make sure it gets all the care it deserves" and then follow through on making sure they DO go to a spectacular home.
But I know it isn't easy. Sending lots of good vibes to get you through the rehoming process!
I'm happy to hear that you are taking care of yourself too in this situation. If you are feeling overwhelmed- you should always downsize. There's nothing wrong with this and I hope you don't feel down on yourself moving forward. This community is here for you and I support this decision.
Ohhhh I am SO glad that you only rehomed 2 piggies! I was so worried when I saw the title. Lol - you know I was like, we do not care about the chickens today! 😂 Anyway - that's wonderful that this will free up a little more time for you. And once you get the girls bonded with that other single male, that will reduce one more cage! Yay! I only have 2 sweet boys, and they definitely do take a lot of time and care. You are AMAZING to do all you do for your piggies! Proud of you! ❤
I've had guinea pigs for the past 30 years and honestly it takes just as much love to rehome them as it does to keep them. ❤❤ Thankfully I've never had to make that decision but I can only imagine it would be a difficult and emotional one. I wish I would have known about Toby sooner I'm just not an Instagram person. I have 5 piggies now, 2 neutered males and 3 females in a big enclosure in my living room and I absolutely would have taken Toby even if it meant driving 8 and a half hours from Ohio to you. I think a lot of us in this community can say we've fallen in love with your piggies just as much as you. And goodness knows we obviously love your products! My piggies absolutely love their guinea bunk beds with the mats! I have one little girl that only sleeps on the top bunk never on the bottom one and it's absolutely adorable to see her on it.
8:33 i feel the exact same way about my birds im having to re home them to and it’s quite sad but it will be better for them and myself!! 💕🦜
Hi! I just want to say I totally get what you’re saying. I run my own growing business alone, and have kids and two piggies. I often find it hard to be present for my kids and pets because my mind and time is taken by my business, and then I’m just so exhausted from the mental load at the end of the day. It’s hard, but you’ll find a new swing of things. You might need to outsource more things (ie hire staff) to do more for the media or merchandise side of things so you can free up your own time. You’ll find a way!
In the meantime, we’re still here and enjoying your content! And I wish your two boys happy new lives!!❤
I got both of my girl piggies from rehoming and it was the best thing that happened to me. They are my happiness with all their sass and popcorns. My youngest girl just escaped her play pen and was running around my kitchen, if that nice lady hadn’t rehomed her I would’ve never had this joy and confusion everytime she did crazy weird things! Rehoming is great when it’s best for the animal, and the people who end up loving them in the end. Austin what your doing is amazing and changes loves for the better. Never feel bad about it. Ashton and Toby will be happy with cage mates and he’ll be so happy.
you have no idea how many people wouldnt admit they cant care for their pets anymore and rehome them. most would keep them around because the apparent trophy of having a pet is more important than the pet itself, or they wouldnt put in the time to rehome them to sustainable homes. it's a very honorable action to take, and this is why i started following you in the first place
This newly founded culture of hallowing animals and sanctifying anybody that prioritises their care over themselves’ and other human beings’ is pure airheadedness, and edging on borderline insanity to me. People self proclaim their identity that of a virtuous care-taker of the pet, the most morally elevated person that could possibly be. They’d never want the public’s perception of them as sympathetic animal whisperers to dissolve, so they’d rather hog the animal under the guise of ‘keeping family’ instead of giving it away to a capable provider.
Great, guys! Come to us and see the vids of our new baby guinea pigs!
You are a wonderful piggie father, and what you are doing for Ashton and Toby just makes me feel so good inside. I know it was a hard decision to make for your two sweet guys, but your giving them to people who love piggies as much as you do.
I have found your channel because im adopting two piggies once theyre 8 weeks at the end of July. Brand new piggy owner, i have two dogs but never had guinea pigs. Ive been educating myself on RUclips as to what they need, how to care for them etc. I just wanted to say, you are doing an amazing job being such an amazing carer.
Idk.. I feel like only me can take good care of my pets, because I know I'll take them to the vet, feed them, keep them safe, etc.. people promise the world but your home IS an amazing home, what if the next owner decides to rehome them too for whatever reasons?
You are being a responsible owner by giving them the best life, even if that means it is with someone else. I know that’s a hard decision to make but you will all be better because of it 💜
Sometimes, in life, we have her decisions to make, sounds like the boys are both going to two very good homes. And I know you love those boys both very much.❤
Must’ve been a very tough decision to rehome some of your guinea pigs. I know how much you love them. And if the boys are going to be able to hang out with girls and stuff and have a hard relationship, I think that’s great.
It’s a sad moment to see some of them go, but I know you will find them loving homes
Sending love and best wishes; hope the rehoming goes smoothly and that your well-being is on the upswing. ❤
There is absolutely nothing wrong with re-homing. However…. I’m not a fan of getting more then rehoming. Or, rehoming then getting more. That’s when I feel like it’s not right.
I made the same decision recently, my 2 boys didn't get along and I decided to rehome them to people who will bond them to others. Now the bigger boy is bonded to a baby boy and the smaller boy lives with a herd of females 😊 at the same time as I was already racking my brain how I could give them company, I started to have major hay allergies... So I decided it would be best for all of us to go different directions...
I'm so sad but I know they will all get new & great homes ❤
I love your chickens, I have a few myself!
I’m sorry for your chicken lost!
Just few tips, be careful with the bungee cord, a raccoon could definitely still get into your chicken coop easily, I would replace the bungee cord with a pad lock/ hatch with a key for extra security!
Also a hardware cloth skirt around the run/coop for any digging predators
And lastly make sure you check your chickens feet occasionally, similar to Guinea pigs, chickens can also develop bumblefoot too!
Good luck to you and your chickens/ Guinea piggies
Hi Pigman,
(I am only calling you that because, in one of your videos, you said you were like one of the guinea pigs, yourself, and you and your channel were the reasons that my fiancee and I got our guinea pigs, totally a loving tribute name! You're gorgeous, and surely you know. 💕)
It completely makes sense what you said in your videos - work gets overwhelming, and we only have 24 hours in a day. Thank you for your courage to be honest and open, it's super inspiring. I am so glad that your two males may go to wonderful homes. Your mental, emotional, and physical health is so important, so it's a vital choice for you.
On the business end, our family loves your products (especially the piggies - Esme (Esmeralda) and Izzy (Isabella)), we have two and when we only put one in our cage for them, they would fight over it! There are always two inside at all times now. They use the top often, which is amazing, and so cute. Still waiting to buy more products once they're available, but no rush! But always excited to see the items arrive.
Grateful to have found your channel that led to us meeting our baby piggies - they bring me joy every day, especially when life is stressful... just staring at their silly antics and cute faces and tushes.
Always excited about your RUclips videos as well.
-LiViD (from Lily and Dave)
Such a hard choice, but the best one, I think, for the pigs. Thank you for your honesty.
I think it’s an important lesson to learn for anyone that as much as you really want another pet sometimes it comes down to, “do I really have the time/energy/resources to care for this pet for the next X years every single day”.
I can barely keep up with 4 piggies (2 are fosters) and full time work so I understand how overwhelming it would be.
If you had just one big herd/cage you would likely find you have a much better balance - it’s important to have downtime for yourself too! Working all the time and then spending the rest of it cage cleaning is going to burn out the best of people.
Good luck with the rehoming, I think it’s definitely the right call.
I’m a big fan. I hope they find loving homes.. I learned everything I know about Guinea pigs from you.
It might be sad 😞 but it’s shows how much you love them ❤also can you share a video on how you stacked the boys cages ? I want to know how because I might be getting 2 more piggies
❤ I wish the best for the piggies. It's hard to decide this,but at least you're putting thoughts into where they will be. I only have 2 boars, I work 2 jobs so I have no time for more animal friends! You have a lot of little piggies and other animals also! I hope they will do well
I'm not surprised that you ran into the realisation that the work is getting too much to keep up with. I called it and got shamed in previous videos. It's good to know that you managed to find good homes for your boys. Hopefully, you can get more of your boys neutered in the future, so they can make friends easier. 👍
Hi Austin, having to rehome your pets due to the demands and financial restrictions of caring for them can be one of the most heart breaking and brave things that you can ever do for your pets. It can be a tough decision. I feel for you so much and hope you find loving and caring homes for your beautiful piggies. I admire your selflessness in putting your pets welfare above your own feelings and needs. You truly are a beautiful person. I wish you all the best in the future and pray your heart will heal in time. Thinking of you and the warmest of wishes your biggest fans love Deb's xxxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dearest Austin, please don't feel bad about airing your Ginnie pigs footage on you tube. This is a time in your life when you are launching a new business and are a care giver to multiple pets. Feeling not enough is never good and very hurtful to your wellbeing. Please know that your fans have your back and I will pray that this burden is lifted off if you because it is one you should never have to carry alone. Reach out to your fans, your friends and loved ones. Set a limit each day in how much you are physically able to do and if it means rehoming more animals it best for you and for them too if you are feeling overwhelmed. It won't be like this forever, soon I'm sure that you will have more assistance with your business as it continues to grow and I pray that it dose continue to flourish. For now please do take care of yourself and just take a day at a time. Best wishes Debbie ❤😊
I will miss the piggies that are leaving. You are good to take care of all these pigs and I definitely understand how it is hard to keep up with them❤. I only have 2 and they’re a handful!
I adopted 2 piggies last September that was in terrible shape! That was older sadly they just passed away this week I miss them so much. I'm so glad you have so many piggies makes me happy to see
you should try using ground cocoa beans for the chicken bedding. it makes the coop smell so nice and is super easy to clean :)
I completely understand and support your decision. You have been an inspiration to me and many others who only want the best for their pets. Sending love and hugs your way ❤️
I recently lost one of my pigs and going from 2 cages down to 1 makes such a big difference on full cleanout days.
You have to do what's best for both the pigs and yourself.
Good luck going forwards ❤
Hard ware cloth should be used around the run or any openings to your coop. Chicken wire is like paper to most predators. They should also be locked up tight in the coop from dusk to dawn. A lock requiring a key is best. You also need more roosting bars. 10 inches per chicken. 2x4 is the perfect bar so they can cover their feet at night.
I have a tip for you, hope it helps. Add some concrete slabs around the feeder and drinker to prevent them from being uncovered and forming holes and mud in the ground
OMG!! What timing for my order! Time warp! I got them before the video came out. Thank you. Best of luck to Ashton & fingers crossed that Toby is just as fortunate.
Henrietta is a Henry...
And I know just what you mean about the chickens and piggies. I have 2 indoor chickens, they play with the piggies on the floor. Mine are all bonded it's so weird.
Also I'm so proud of you for doing what you think is best for you and your piggies.
Lovely place where you live 😊 I think Billy will be the lucky boy 😜
Have a Good weekend 🥰
Much respect to you for recognizing what’s best for both you and the piggies. Knowing that your two boys are in good homes will give you such relief. What a great example and ambassador you are! Also, can we talk about how cute that haircut is on you?😊😍
your making the right decision
I also had to rehome my Guinea pigs..I had 2 Guinea pigs from September 2022 to I think march 2023, because I felt like I couldn’t take care of them because of depression. And I was 14 (my birthday was may) when I had to let them go. In my opinion, I think it’s a good idea to know when you can’t take care of a pet as well as you used to and rehouse them so they can have a little bit of a better life. Now it’s September 2023 and I still miss them but I feel like I did the right thing. It’s hard to let pets/friends/family go. I also had a hard time keeping up with both piggies that I had, and I also loved them dearly, they were named Coco and Oreo, and they were a little more then a year old when Coco and Oreo where rehomed. I got them when they where 7 to 8 months old at a pet smart. They were to sweet.
You are making the right choice it’s selfless and your thinking of your pigs . ❤
My grandmother has chickens, her oldest one !Henrietta!! Just passed away recently :((
Many blessings. To you and your piggy babies. Love from your Philly fan.🌈🥰🤗💕💗💝💖😘
This subject is an important one as a pet owner and it really is sad that someone might feel ashamed at having to take the decision of rehoming some pets. It does not make you a bad caretaker. On the opposite in my mind. And it shows a great understanding on your limits as well as that of your character. ❤ It is heartbreaking to let a being go that one greatly love, and to be able to do so shows how much you care of you and your herds. ❤
❤
Hi, I just found your channel. I love it, and have learned soooooo much!! I have always had bunnies, and am obsessed with meeting all of my animal's needs the right way. I am about to adopt 2 guinea pigs, and thanks to you, I am feeling very well prepared!! So, thank you, but I have one question...When I first bring my guinea pigs home, how long should I wait to try to take them out of the cage? Like, how long until they are settled enough? Also, one more question...when introducing vegetables to my guinea pigs for the first time, do I introduce just one at a time for a period of time, or can I do several veggies at once? Thank you for your dedication to your animals, and for showing people the right way to treat their piggies...❤
I have missed you so much, oh and I love your hair it looks amazing! 💕💕💕
I’m in Blackpool uk
I foster piggies and love them to bits but I know when they go to a new home I can help more
I know how hard it is to let a pet go, but just remember ur doing the right thing b/c u recognized that it wasn’t fair to ur babies and that is a very reasonable and mature thing to do. Sending so much love and support ❤
I got news for ya. That Henrietta of yours is def a rooster. Think a name change may be in order. I love birds, esp chickens and yours are super cute!!!! I have had chickens literally all of my life. They are the most curious and somewhat dumb animals. My favorite has to be bantam frizzles, you should look them up - they kind of resemble a curly piggie to me. Best of luck and happy memories. :)
You are doing what is best for the piggies like you always have.
My husband left me and my kids and I'm super overwhelmed being a single mom of 3. I need to rehome my 2 boys. But there's such an over abundance of guinea pigs in the rescues I can't find a reacue to take them. Or any people to take them. I'm so torn up over it because I committed to them and now I'm struggling to care for them.
You are beautiful and brave and you can do this now do it with me deep breath in hold 1 2 3 deep breaths out there there you will never be alone in your life you have a big heart ❤️ and you will get through this 😊🐹
What a beautiful land. Happy to see the chickens happy.
It’s good that the single piggies are getting some friends now! it does make me a little sad when people get new animals and keep them and don’t prioritize the ones that they had originally but with this it’s more understandable since they are alone and will now have a better life.
I get it totally!! That taller chicken is a rooster. Should help with predators some.
We have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 3 rabbits, a parrot all inside. Then laying hens and now meat birds outside. Large garden too. It gets overwhelming. Big hugs!!
I GOT AN ADVERT FOR... ‘Mobile mortuary racking’... not sure on their target ordinance here...
I've never been able to buy from the pig room because it's always sold out of what I want so although I'm sad to see some pigs go I'm very excited for this new chapter.
Try coffee grounds for the chicken coop
I think a great solution would be getting more help for your business. What happens if it keeps growing more & more & you have less time? Then what? surrender more or pay them less care. Jst saying it’s something you should consider. Pets are like family & they should be a long term commitment & priority
You don’t really get to decide what his connection with his pets should be likened to. You may view your pets as family, others may simply be caring for them out of empathy and may not have an issue with placing them in the care of other capable hands.
Ok, so what you mean? You are literally saying Austin’s pigs are just there for content? I mean fair… but😂 Sharon has a great point. I am sure Austin views his pigs as family, so you are just 100% wrong there lol. So still all in all he is giving up his family for his business.
The connection with his pets is obvious based on all his vids. Insta lives etc. He’s always talking about it & shows it. Don’t try to deflect from what’s shown. The only reason I even wrote this was because he puts himself in a high ground. He’s judge other pet owners about poor care etc and he’s literally admitting to not being on top of his care bcs of his business. Im not crucifying him, I’m jst saying he could think of a diff solution so he can continue to care for all of them. he had nvr thought of surrendering before. He says it himself. That means he sees them as long term obviously.
@@12Sharon 🙌🏼
@@12Sharon thank you.
Bonding with Ollie. Not a huge surprise, you mentioned it before.... 😇😇😇
This is completely understandable I have 4 guinea pigs, a rabbit and a hamster and it's a lot of work, I can't imagine having 17 guinea pigs, you made the right decision even thought it was hard.
today I was cleaning my guinea pigs cage and one appeared to have a large lump on their side where she was also losing hair. I'm so worried for her and my mom won't let me take her to a vet. do you know what this is and how I could help it I'm really worried for her!
I had no idea you lived on a farm!
You don’t want it to be a chore. Rehoming some of your piggies is 100% the right move. Your youtube and business help thousands of piggies! I think you should consider rehoming even more ❤
Sorry you had to rehome some piggys.. couple chicken things though, Henrietta is a Henry and also put your waterer up on a block.
may i ask how you manage urine? does the mat dry out quickly?
Is it Billie?
The best life for a boar is neutered and with one or more females.
We adopted our first 2 boars at 2 yo. One died at 5 because of my poor care. The other lived to ten. We are back up to 8. 3 neuts and 5 girls.
Newest adoptee is
Totally understand
I need advice if I have two Guinea pigs but I’m starting to have less money and time to afford amazing care for them. So I’ve been thinking of rehomeing them. It’s hard to do though but if I feel I don’t have time to give them perfect care does that mean I should re home them?
I totally understand and respect your decisions on rehoming toby and ashton. You are doign what is best for you, ypur business, your current piggies and they will thank you for it in the long run.
I saw you where also rehoming ezra and kai on Instagram. Is that still happening or are you able to keep those 2 sweet boys?
thank you for helping me bc i rlly want some guinea pig and you help me sooooooooooo much thank you for everything I will always watch you and yah and I rlly like your vids
I understand
I love your channel so much and it's helped me learn how to take care of my pigs
I respect u
Nice to see you also like chickens!! They are cute tbh
Thanks for this video. It's really hard, but you are doing the right thing. I really look forward to the next bonding video. 😉
Not gonna lie, found this video as I was looking for you for some advice. Now I feel horrible coming here to ask advice because I just don't know what to do for the guinea pig I had been fostering, but his original owner passed away and I don't trust anyone to take him in. I can't afford to get him a friend but he was alone for years before even I got him. He doesn't get along with my other animals so a friend for him felt like it'd be an expensive fail.
He plucks his cage bars though. And he won't stop. It used to be how he tells me he's sick of waiting and then I got him to stop when we got a better living situation. I don't know what to do. All day, every day. He has reusable soft liners I try to give him toys but he's picky AF. He's refusing to eat his hay, demanding pellets at all times of the day even after he's had and eaten what he's supposed to have. Even after he's had his salad, he starts in. I can't take it but I don't know what to do.
Attack me all you want RUclips commenter's but I'm going to admit he makes me so angry I start screaming. He makes me so upset I start to feel like I want to hurt him. I need some helpful advice or I'm going to have to rehome him. Whether I want to give up on my best friends guinea pig or not, my mental health can't take it.
aww i miss having chickens 😢 i think it
is a Rooster lol .. good luck to all the piggies
So you are putting selling things before your animals? Riiiight…. 👍🏻
Definitely not! Please rewatch my explanation and pay attention to the part of what situation Ashton and Toby will be in with the new owners 😊
@@ThePigRoom I watched the video. You literally said your business is taking up your time so you don’t have time for your pigs. So instead of cutting back on your business you’re rehoming your animals. Shitty choice tbh.
@@Iamaguienapig This is how I make a living and continue to pay for my animals needs so realistically, it’s what has to come first. Also, as I mentioned, I haven’t been present on here as much as I would like and really miss it. Rehoming my pigs will help give me more time to focus on my business, make RUclips videos, take care of my pigs, keep up with their daily tasks, etc. And again, they are going off to AMAZING new homes and will have cage mates which is WAY BETTER than living alone with me. So all in all, I’d say that’s a pretty selfless thing to do on my end.
@@Iamaguienapig I agree w/ you. It’s not like Austin is running a rescue. He knew what he was getting into when he adopted / rescued his collective 19 pigs and then started a business. Also I have 0 understanding how no one is catching him in his lie of “I am rehoming 2 pigs” when he literally is rehoming 4 in total. I don’t trust liars in the least bit. Austin gives narcissistic energy when he says he is being selfless. Literally this is him being selfish to himself and his business like😅
@@ThePigRoom You knew what you were getting into when you built up a collection of 19 pigs. You come off as extremely narcissistic and I know I’m not the only one who thinks so. That’s the issue I have with pet tubers, you collect animals for views and likes then get overwhelmed so rehome them. I’ve seen that you have done some good rescues but then give them already overwhelmed shelters! 😂 You should rehome them all yourself not dump them on other people. Seriously pet tubers should be banned from RUclips!
Having to rehome is sad but for your health and your happiness and your business is good. I will be sad to see them go but I am glad that they will be going to new great homes.
I think it’s very selfless to acknowledge that you can’t provide the best lifestyle to the boys and to find them amazing homes where they can live with friends
This doesn’t really make sense to me, sorry.
I hope the girls are bonded with Billy. That would be so cute. ❤
Aww sorry u gotta rehome yr babies I was so sad when I had to rehome mine I have 2 I love them to death but my 2 turned into 40 mines were supposed to be girls to my surprise babies came I was new to this I was separating the little families but it was to hard to expensive and no room I found a lady now my friend that took guinea pigs when people couldn't care for them so now I'm left with the momma roo and one of the daughters frm roos babies and her name is rose but best wishes to u
