You forgot about syvster..
@@tabmiller6123 I put Sylvester there
Thx!
@@tabmiller6123 yeah who couldn’t forget Sylvester he’s a legend
I miss Slyvester he was the best little piggie!
Thanks for the heart Julia 😀
I wonder if Lulu wasn't around a boar in her previous home, I remember her lunging, shrieking and chattering in anger at Sylvester (he was still alive then) when she first arrived. For a while, I questioned whether she would be able to be with the main herd since she was so resistant to his authority. She eventually accepted it, but it was a rough introduction that she clearly was not used to before.
ya i cried half an our
agreed, he was an og
@@valentinakazimirov1050 same )))))):
And Sylvester
I really miss Sylvester.
Yea
Nugget her eyes are like 🤩P.s they all have ty e same look in the eyes.
Rescuing guinea pigs is so hard. It’s so sad to hear about their backstories, you don’t know where they are coming from, and they get sick so easily. I lost one of my piggies Penelope who had a teeth issue know one knew about until it was too late, but all of the 4 Guinea pigs I have owned have been rescued!
All of mine have been rescue pigs. I currently have 3.I have had a total of 10 over the years. They make me very happy 😊
@@carlguineapig6509 😊
I rescued my first guinea pigs last year! It was a momma and her baby boy, who had sadly molested her, and they were being given away for free on Craigslist. Only a few weeks after our piggies came home, momma gave birth to three pups! Luckily, no birth defects, which we were very paranoid about due to their poor nutrition and tiny prison. These guineas never even got hay, only pellets, and I have no idea how they survived for 3+ months with their first family.
Now, the 3 girls free roam my 12'x12' dining room, while the 2 boys live in a 8'x4' C&C pen in my room! I would have never imagined the change in their coats and activity. Such lovely pets
@@kaitlynb.r.4179 awww that’s so great to hear! But so sad about their old living conditions :(
@@kaitlynb.r.4179 they are lucky to have someone so caring come to the rescue. I hope they all continue to thrive 🙏
They all deserve you. Your a great owner for the greatest piggies. They chose you.
Poor Nugget. It's too bad she and her brother were separated. It sounds like he was a very handsome fellow.
My first two piggies were rescues; abandoned inside their cage, dumped into a strip-mall dumpster with plastic bags around their necks. Thankfully Gizmo and Shadow were healthy despite that, and though they were already getting into their senior years, had a good home with me. My third pig was a young one, and had been left outside the shelter in a filthy cage, with infected feet. The shelter nursed him back to health, Oscar joined my piggy menagerie, and when Gizmo went blind from old age, Oscar became his guide piggy and he followed him everywhere.
your guinea pigs are so lucky to have a happy endings
RIP to all of the piggies we lost along the way.
Rescues 100%! My baby Nutmegs story is so unfortunate. She was adopted from a pet store (we assume) and was kept in a Tupperware container with another aggressive piggie. She was only fed a handful of pellets once a week like a fish. The two guinea pigs kept together couldn’t even move they were so squished together. She was rescued by a nice teenager who took extremely good care of her. She runs a guinea pig rescue and has tons of experience. She said it took her about eight months for this guinea pig to get used to people, dogs and just living in a home overall. My piggie is still aggressive towards other piggies out of fear, but she now lives in a well educated home that loves her.
A TUPPERWARE CONTAINER?? man,people are sick
I run a small rescue for my state, and see a lot of sad stories too. My own piggies (not fosters) are all rescued. The first ever pig I adopted I found at a dog pound! No idea why she was there, but I immediately fell in love with Guinea pigs!
Sometimes the only place to take them is an animal shelter. I have a shelter near where I live and in order to find out ehat animals they have beyond dogs and cats that are up for adoption you have to ask because they do not post or list anything but dogs and cats and they have had ferrets, Chinchillas, rabbits, and occasionally Guinea Pigs but if you do not ask about small animals they make no mention of them at all when they should give them a chance to be adopted too because you can't adopt them if you don't know they are there and available for adoption.
Ahhh that's a lovely story 💕
What did you name your pigs?
Such a amazing guinea pig mom!
Yeah
Funny story about my guinea pigs; right as my mom was still on the fence about whether we should get guinea pigs, she heard her coworker complaining about his guinea pigs and saying how he wanted to get rid of them. Long story short, Strudel and Creampuff are very happy, have a big cage, and love romaine lettuce. ❤️
Despite all the sad stories, they had a happy life thanks to you💖
I've been with you & all ur piggies since the start. I miss every one of those not with you now. All have been so sweet & unique. You are the ideal piggie parent & I love how you care & treat ur pigs. EVERY pet parent needs to be up there with you. Animals deserve love & respect from all humans. Thank you for sharing so much of the wonderful lives of all your dear piggie children🧡🧡💙💛❤❤🧡💜💙💛
aww your so sweet!
Your guinea pigs are very lucky to have a owner like you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐹🐹🐹🐹
I always love to see the footage from the older piggies. What a stunning group of piggies.
there’s literally no reason to buy a guinea pig! Adoption is so amazing for such a small, too easily bred animal. I have four and all were free because I adopted them from different people needing to rehome them.
these piggies were rescued by the perfect owner!
I adopted one of my piggies from a a guy that was in early 20s, he took care very poorly, alone, in a little cage, and no veggies. He was so scared and he is happier now with a best friend, new cage and lots of attention 🥰
Ahh that's great 💕
You're an amazing owner!! If it wasn't for you my guinea pigs would be living a very very bad life! Thank you so much for helping so many people!!!
I miss all of your little piggies especially Sylvester.
Thank you for sharing their back stories.
Your channel is excellent 👍
We rescued a piggy who we didn't know was pregnant. She wasn't even 2 months old.
We lost 3 of her babies and we tried soooo hard to nurse them day and night for 2 weeks.....their mom sadly would not feed them. Only the one she would nurse lived.
It was heartbreaking!
So we have three little girls. One is our original rescue who is a Satin Abyssinian named Peanut.
Our second girl who was to be her companion is also an Abyssinian, named Poppy, and Poppy's baby who lived is Snookie, also an Abyssinian.
It's thanks to channels like yours that how people are treating these beautiful little creatures is slowly changing. Our girls have the best of everything and live like little princesses.
Thanks again

True Life: Guinea Pigs' Survival Stories
Frieda's colour is so stunning! When I first saw her, I thought she was dressed in a tan coat, with a black belt! All of our current animals are rescued or adopted, dogs, cats and a horse. We used to have rats too, but stopped because they live such short lives, it was simply too heartbreaking!
Frieda was my favorite pig of yours and I loved her so much I got a pig that looked similar and her name is now Frieda.
My Nibbler looks like Frieda's baby.
I love Lulu. She's silly.
Frieda and Sylvester's stories really touched my heart. These poor piggies hit the jackpot when you took them into your herd and your heart.
Can we just give a round of applause to the fireman who saved Sylvester
Always good to see dear Sylvester again :)
I got my guinea pigs from a rescue. They’re 3 brothers that were already very closely bonded before I got them and they’re so sweet and calm. They were in the rescue for 2 months before we adopted them so they were fairly used to people. I absolutely recommend getting rescue pigs once you’ve gone all the research and decided you want guinea pigs
Ahhh so cute 🥰
Little max is so cute, or shall i say big max
💔
I remember subscribing late 2015 when I just got my first guinea pigs. Last year I said goodbye to one of them, today I said goodbye to the other, thank you for everything
Aww, I'm sorry for your loss. 😔
I am so sorry for their loss , I hope they had a long , strong , happy life 💕
Your pigs are so lucky to have you, you’re such an amazing piggie mom
some of the pigs had a hard life before but they all have a happy ending because they ended up with u
Awww Sylvester! I miss that sweet fuzzy face!!
Oh wow! I never knew that about Sylvatster! I’m glad he had loads of fun with his other friends ❤️
I am in awe of the amount of care, time, and love you give your piggies. I know so many people who simply assume it is OK to keep their piggies in tiny cages and neglect them. Keep this channel going, I will never stop watching 💗💗
I have a herd of 6 naughty little piggies, and my male guinea pig, Stanley, who was my dream piggie and I couldn’t believe it when I saw him! We don’t know much of his back story, but we know that he had never been with other piggies and was just not looked after. When we got him we had to get him used to the others without him actually being able to fight with them, so we put him in a hutch inside their stable, and he was popcorning as soon as he got in xD he was actually really good when he saw them! he’s got a massive personality and is definitely a foodie! Amazing vid, keep up the fantastic work! 🥰
Am I the only one who misses Silverter? (IDK how to spell it, but I really miss him :( )
No, we all miss him. RIP Sylvester
Geez, how are all your pigs so well behaved, cute and greedy at the same time?
I don't know about well behaved... Nugget just moved the tunnel Max was resting his head against 🙈
Aww. I'm happy all your guinea pigs got a happy home, even if they may not have had the best life before. (They certainly have the best life with you!)
It’s crazy to think such an amazing breed like max could come from a rescue, where I’m from they’re so insanely rare you can only buy them, I’ve never seen one who’s not wanted. Lucky the little guys with you :)
Love you and your pigs, I have rescued all 4 of mine
My guinea pig gave birth this morning, and only 1 survived... I love this channel so much!!
When I got Nibbler, I thought she was just an older, bigger baby. Now I think she was close to adult. This is because she didn't grow much, isn't scared of anything, and loves to be held. She also came with a little sneeze.
I think she was sick as a baby (which stunted her growth) and had special treatments by nice people.
She is the smartest and cuddliest guinea pig I've ever had.
thanks julia for giving us so good piggies some of them now in heaven but were also good piggies
I just took in two little piggies a family could no longer care for. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed having piggies!!!
Damn the piggies are sooooooo cuteeeee
you inspired me to get guinea pigs 4 years ago, i didn't get rescued piggies or piggies from a breeder, instead i bought from a pet shop. won't be doing that again! great video.
Sylvester is the one I liked the most along with nugget I have a guinea pig that has white black and brown fur and is the same breed as sylvester
They all were adorable little bundles of joy & happiness. That won everyone's ❤. Thanks for sharing their life & love with all 💕🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🙂. I miss them all ,Sorry for the losses ✨️😔✌️
I'm so glad there are owners like you that give piggies a happy, long life. My partner and I try to do the same with our three girls
I'm so sorry that some of your piggies in the past had to go through all that. I'm glad that they are happy with you now
💜nice seeing Sylvester again
Your guinea pig is so lucky to have a wonderful owner
I've taken in three rescue pigs, Russ, Owen and Toph. I only still have Toph. Russ was being given away for free with a free cage because he had a "neurological tick" with walking around with a tilted head. Someone else took the cage and left the guinea pig. One google search later if he would need special care it was obviously an ear infection. Pretty advanced to since he wouldn't eat and was very lethargic. A round of medicine later and limping him through on a liquid diet for a couple days he got better. He was always runty and pretty sure he was deaf. He just turned out to be a very special guinea pig. He was neutered and spent his life in a female herd. When he was three he got sick again with a respiratory infection. Medicine looked like it was working but a little while later he declined rapidly and died surrounded by me and his girls. Still not over it and it's been over a year.
Second one, Owen, was from a craigslist add. A woman who took care of a disabled woman who had the guinea pig. He was very sweet and people friendly. The carer was scared of the guinea pig though so when the owner was moved elsewhere or hospitalized long term, I can't remember, she put him up to find a better home. He had some ammonia burns on his feet since she couldn't even bring herself to clean the cage. I thought he might be a female and had been looking for an adult female for awhile to ease the tension between Russ and Plushie my first guinea pig. Luckily I noticed in time and my husband helped find a home. He was taken in by a older lady who was absolutely enamored with him at first sight.
The last one Toph is still alive and still with me. She came into the same pet store I got Russ. She was in a big batch of babies from their guinea pig drop shipper. The entire batch was starving and their hair was even falling out. One was so weak it just laid there as the other guinea pigs ate it's toes and ears and the pet store had to put it down. I didn't find out about this batch until after my shift the next day. Toph stood out as one of the smallest and had milky blue eyes. She was skin and bones and very thin hair. She was so tiny she fit in my husband's button up shirt front pocket. And she was supposedly a month or more old. I fostered her a few days and my boss said I could just have her. My boss thinks the blindness was caused by a type of flea powder this guy used. Another one was blind in one eye. Now her eyes are clear and a beautiful dark brown. I think the blindness has cleared up but I'm not sure to what degree. She was the baby of the herd until six months after Russ passed and I got a couple more guinea pigs. She's not pleased but we're working through it slowly.

I keep crying at the guinea pigs who have passed away
I love that you mentioned how there are responsible people that realize they can't do it anymore, maybe it's becoming too much or they're down to just one left and don't want to care for more. It's good to point out that some people adopt piggies and even knowing the work they take, sometimes get to a point they can't anymore. Growing up in a house where we always had guinea pigs since I was about 4 or 5 until I was 16, we loved our piggies so much. During the recession my dad lost his job, my mom was working minimum wage and even the cost of extra food and bedding was too much, we had to give them away, but we realized before it turned to any form of neglect. So any pig owners that are at a point where it's not working out anymore, or your little one is now solo- it's okay to help them find a new home. I'm sure they're happy they had a good time with you and they can have a new adventure.
Of course they all had a happy ending , because you were their owner 😄
I rescued my pigs too! All of them were rescued by the perfect person! Love you, your pigs, and your channel!😊❤️
That was an awesome video! I look forward to every Tuesday & Saturday Morning ( USA New Jersey) I just love how you care & spoil your herd. We are akin to worrying about how our pets feel and anticipating their needs, an empath. I love when you add structures, hauls & fancy food concoctions...just to see the piggy's react! Thank you for sharing them with the world.
Awwwww such an inspiration and we are without a doubt going to adopt rescue piggies when we start our herd in the next year or so xx
I love how you never really got ones from the pet store but rescued them so you get to save guinea pigs ❤️
I love your knowledge of guinea pigs and have learned so much. I have 3 rescued boars that have lived with me now for 4 years and going strong! Thanks for your terrific videos
Awww I have two guinea pigs and they are brother and they are now sooo happy so can’t even think how happy you’re are 😚💖🥺
Rescuing animals are the best thing one can do
my sisters partner’s mum is a guinea pig breeder and she breeder her original 2 and then ended up with over 500 guinea pigs very quickly all in 3 hutches and many of them died because she didn’t know how hard it was. she spent ages seperating them and now she has about 10 and is going to control the pregnancy’s from now on, my original 4 guinea pigs came from those 500 or so and they are the sweetest and fortunately came with no health problem. my sister got 2 guinea pigs from there as well and now has 16 but had her guinea uncontrollably bread as well on accident. now she has 2 boys named magpie and harris, while magpies mum, lady-silk now lives with me with her sister tokyo. my original 4 are called catsby(i loved the name gatsby so i changed it up a bit) and pebbles, nugget and biscuit who all 6 of them now live a happy life in there lovely hutch with all the pea flakes and hay.
I want to rescue Guinea pigs when im older and i am prepared to care for them
You have a good heart ... Rescuing guinea pigs ❤️ So sad to heard for your Loss 💔😭
God bless you always and your Baby Guinea Pig 🙏 🙏🙏
They are all living their best lives with you
i recently got a rescue piggie and hes been all alone in a tiny cage for his whole life, and his nails were so long he could hardly wall now hes in a huge enclosure, well groomed, and eating healthy ☺
and once im certain hes healthy he will have a friend!
Thanks for rescuing them. :)
One of my pigs, his name is Ozzy, was kind of a rescue. My mum wanted to surprise me with a new piggy and she went to the pet store but they didn't have any pigs. Then one of the employees said they had a pig outback that they couldn't sell. She wanted to take a look and she fell in love. Ozzy wasn't able to be sold because he had a birth defect, he has a single thick hair growing on his eyelid, so he has a hair sticking out of his eye. Before he got to my home, he never has any veggies before in his life, only hay and pellets. Now he's a plump piggy swimming in veggies
@Glunck Oh, He's fine. Its nothing that bothers him or anything. They just couldnt sell him because of it so he was kept in the back room
I teared up a bit when I heard their stories ☹
I loved all of them and their beautiful different personalities ❤
I love mugget
Awww freda is so sweet but a sad start but let’s be honest HOW CUTE IS SHE
All of your piggies have a happy ending! I’m sure they are living their best lives!
I've just adopted 2 little piggies and I've found your vlogs so helpful. The bond you have with your piggies is so beautiful, you can they totally trust you and are as happy as can be
I hope one day I have a bond like this with my new babas
I have one similar to Sylvester's story. She and her 2 sisters were left in a box at a cat/dog shelter.
They all look very happy now
It was cute how Nugget did a little nod at the end 8:04
Thank you so much for sharing.
I was in tears. Happy tears though.
You are an extremely loving and caring person. You are a great guienuea pig mom.
My niece has 6. 3 adopted from someone who could no longer take care for them and 3
purchased. They all are very much loved and loving taken care of.
aww rip Sylvester miss him
I never thought i would like history.
You are definitely an amazing piggy momma!!!
My heart ♡🥺 Nugget cleaned Sylvesters fur 💓 R.I.P we will miss Sylvester ❤ 😢
I'll never understand why people abandon animals in boxes; there's nearly always a rescue nearby they could have taken them to. I'm so glad all these little pigs ended up with you. I can't imagine a better home for any of them. 🧡
As well as they were taken care of, it may have been a situation where an owner passed away, and the person handling their property had no idea what to do. Still no excuse to leave an animal outside in a box, but people do out-of-charachter things while grieving.
@@karencostanzo2906 I know grief is a terrible thing, but if someone is together enough to put the animal in a box and dump it, they're together enough to at least put the box at a shelter where the person finding it will have immediate food and facilities to care for it.
When it’s food time the little squeaking vacuums come alive
I miss Sylvester r.i.p little guy hope your having fun with all your siblings that have also passed r.i.p
Oh I love how frida came she was scared then happy☻
All the stories are so romantic😥😥😥
I think Sylbesters story is SUPER sad
It so funny how their feet stick out when their chilling.
I loved hearing about them! Wilma, Minnie, Little One and Freda were hilarious and I watch old videos with them often
Aww your guinea pigs are adorable 🥰
I just want to say you make my day and get me through school you are my world thanks for making such amazing videos:)I hope you read this
Sad story I’m ready to cry
I miss Wilma and the original herd so much. I named my one piggie Little Girl after Little One. 🥺
My Guinea pig was pregnant before I got her. The rescue had rescued about 75 piggies for a hoarding situation and that was why my piggy was pregnant
Your pigs are so so so cute
