    I'm sure the girls were so relieved when they realized the boys weren't with them. I'm sure it was so stressful having the boys basically on top of them for who knows how long. I'm so happy you were able to save them, and honestly I think it's amazing you have a rescue to work with. People need to understand that while you are amazing with pigs and super knowledgeable, you're just one person. Rescues have multiple people with set resources and deal with adopting out all the time. They have what to do down pat! And as long as the piggies are saved, does it really matter who does it?!?

    I have to have respect for the guy who saw these guinea pigs in bad condition with a friend, recognized it, and took initiative to get them a better home. Any animal lover can see that they looked crowded, sick, and unwell, but a guinea pig novice would have no idea what they actually need, so it's just impressive that he took them away from the friend and found them a new home. And shoutout to you and your partner rescue for taking this on as well! It's a win win: the rescue gets promotion and you get to make awesome content!

    Sorry in advance for the long post. I lost my lovely Javanais on january 22 and I wanted a new baby guinea pig, because my herd is getting older. There was a baby born at the rescue and I contacted them for adoption. A week before we would pick her up, the rescue send a message she had pneumonia. A day later, the piggy passed away. But they had a 3 year old girl that came from a very bad and long background and the rescue asked me to give her a chance (we did a couple of rescues from them in the past) She had several homes in solitude and her last owner gave her to the rescue with the explanation "We don't like her anymore" . So took on this little girl. She was underweigh, only 700g, but we took her in. She was eating fine and her fur looked healty, but she gained weigh and lost weigh without any reason. So when I had to go to the university clinic with one of my piggies for a check up, I took her along just to make sure. They gave me bad news: she has uterine cancer with metastasis to the bladder. All we can do is give her the best time ever. And we will untill it is time to say goodbye. But seriously, she is the most tame rescue piggy I ever had. Such a bundle of joy and I don't even have to get her out of the cage to give her the pain meds. She just takes it, I will have a hard time when it it time to say goodbye, but even if we are here for them for a short time, we still can make a difference ♥

The motivation you have to get up everyday & do what you love to do is honestly so inspiring so keep doing it because it has been amazing to watch your channel & all that you’ve accomplished 🫶🏼💯💛

    • @pricklypear1704
      @pricklypear1704 Рік тому +18

      All this hate over his decision is ridiculous. He needs the capacity to take in more rescues instead of keeping and hoarding every pig. The “harmfulness of sending to rescues” is a weak argument. Obviously if a rescue has full capacity they wouldn’t take any more and they clearly wouldn’t offer to take these 12 pigs. It really makes me think that these haters have a selfish motive of only wanting to see Austin keep the pigs for his channel to see…

    Ariel is one heck of a shieldmaiden and warrior! I was almost certain she wouldn't make it, seeing how bad she was the first day - I'm so grateful I was proven wrong.
    I wish them all the best and that Fifi and Ariel will go well with the herd. I'm also hoping the unborn ones will be healthy when they come to this world that definitely won't be as gruesome as their mom and dad had to live in.
    Ariel has a special place in my heart, her eyes told me more than a thousand words even though she has no idea who I am.
    Thank you for doing this, Austin.
    And of course, thank you to Porcellus Guinea Pig Rescue for reaching out a helping hand.

    Way to go! You are doing so much to help out little Piggys in distress. For me, I have five Piggys myself, three boys and two girls. Point to note, all of them are rescues. A while back I caught on to the fact that rescued Piggys need good homes. Buying them from the store doesn't help as much as it tends to encourage more breeding for profit. To share one of their stories, one of my boys had to be taken into protective custody. He was covered in feces and urine and weighed only around 800 grams when recovered. They nursed him back to health and we adopted him. Now, George is his name, is 5 1/2 years old, lives in a 6' x 2' cage and is buffed out at 1500 grams (has been for a quite while actually.) Keep up the good work!

    You inspired me to do a rescue of my own recently. I got 2 pigs off of an Australian version of Craigslist. 1 boy and 1 girl that had been living together in a pet store cage. So I immediately thought the girl was pregnant.
    Anyways. I picked them up with all their stuff. Only to find that the people’s house smelled amazing, so they had candles or something going. The bedding that the pigs were using was strawberry scented and hay was only used as a treat.
    They also both had mites.
    I got them home and separated. They have nice soft fleece and a hay pile each, I named them George and Penelope and penny is definitely pregnant. Due very soon. They are both skin and bones so I have been feeding critical care. But without you I wouldn’t have been inspired to do this and you are amazing for not only helping all the pigs you have physically helped but you are amazing for inspiring people from around the world to do good for our little furry potato friends. The world need more people like you Austin. ❤❤

    I had two guinea pigs, and one was just recently put down. He got sick, recovered- and then got sick again. The second sickness lasted for over three days before my dad put him down. We cried for hours that night, and multiple times afterward.
    Seeing these guinea pigs not have to go through the kind of suffering he did eases my soul, even with entirely different situations... these pigs dealt with being in the same small and decrepit enclosure for so long- and seeing them recover, especially the most unhealthy one and with such a quickness... it warms my heart.

    I was so lucky to have one piggy for about a week. She was going to a very caring young girl for Christmas. This one piggy was hiding most of the time when I first got her. I found out she loves lettuce. She started getting use to me and would let me know when she wanted something we were having. I couldn't believe she could smell a banana from 6 feet away. I only gave her a small slice but I knew she wanted more. In the end I had a hard time letting her go to her new home. Maybe one day I can get 2 females to come live with us. Thanks for the video.

    I used to keep *one* young chinchilla in what I think is the double height version of that cage. My chinchilla liked to climb and jump, so he was okay with the 45° ramps, but I feel like piggies wouldn't be too keen on that. To protect his feet we had to put cardboard on all of the mesh floors, we had additional wooden shelves he could sit on too, and he got a daily run outside the cage as well.
    Whoever thought of putting guinea pigs in this cage hasn't researched their needs.

    when i saw this sick pig it made me remember mine. she had cancer and her last 2 days looked just like her or maybe worse...? she also could't stand straight, few hourse before she died she wasn't able to stand on her little feet. no eating, drinking, moving. that's something i will never forget. it's been a year now and when i think of her i start to cry ALWAYS. she was a lovely pig, really lovely.

    This story warms my heart. I feel bad for the owner that paid for each of them just to save them and try to find them a good home. They had an amazing heart to want to do that and they were so selfless to realize they didn't have the knowledge to take care of them properly. I'm so glad they got to your place and then the rescue after this to find wonderful homes. You did good here, the previous owner did good, and the rescue is a life saver!

With tears running down my face and having such a warm feeling seeing and hearing you treating them, is such a amazing thing! I don't know you, but just by this video I can conclude that you're a wonderful human being! Bless you for being here and doing a saints job.

I’m very thankful you know you’re doing such a beautiful thing. Not only are you saving piggies, but bringing little lights to humans, the humans who will adopt him. And not to mention, all who watch your channen! You’re inspiring. God Bless You and all who rescue, and even those who desire too. ❤️

    I work at a petco with (thankfully) a very good team who are always on top of animal care. Before i took over the animal leader position, there was a woman who brought in a guinea pig who had a neurological issue from getting forced into a hamster ball.... His name was willy, and he reminds me so much of poor little Ariel. He was so bad, that when he was first brought in he couldn't stand At All. It took about 2 or 3 weeks, but we were able to get him back into a more alive state, though he was left with a permanent inability to walk in a straight line ... Anytime he wanted to get from A to B, he'd take loops because he veered so heavily to the left. He was such a sweetheart, and was always excited to see anyone! Always ravenous for his doses of critical care, and that syringe of delicious goop was his main encouragement to get up and walk again! I miss him a lot, but I'm glad we got him healthy and the journey of treating him was something really special to experience❤

    I don't know if people realize how much of a community resource that rescues are. Having animals in the rescue facility that their employees or volunteers care for is maybe only half of the work they do. TNR programs, financial aid for unexpected vet bills or spaying/neutering, foster programs, administrative assistance for adopting out animals, community outreach and education, partnerships with animal control and law enforcement for the seizure of animals from poor conditions, and so much more. Rescues are built and designed in such a way to provide for a community, and even if they're crowded, there's so much benefit to working with rescues.
    As someone who's done this for a while, I'm also going to add that within the first five minutes of this you checked every box I have for good, ethical rescue work (including not directly bashing the previous owners, while pointing out the problems relating to husbandry. In my experience that one seems to be the hardest for people to do because of all the emotions that come with seeing animals in poor shape). You're doing amazing and I'm so glad you've caught the bug for this difficult and rewarding line of work. I really hope to see more from you in the future!
