My vet asked how I know so much about guinea pigs and I told him about you guys and he has actually has been watching too lol
Oh that is wonderful - even though I am not a vet and there is a lot I don't know!! Thank you for sharing.
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue there is a lot you know that regular vets might not, guinea pigs are not like a whole course when becoming a vet so your videos are amazing help!!!
Agreed, one Vet here has only seen two Guinea pigs in 7 years. These videos are how i learn to, right now im treating a Guinea pig been handed to me for help because shes got severe Mange mites😔 My personal Vet has had more experience but not others.
I knew a car who refused to treat little creatures like rats nice guinea pigglies he was just weird. Never let him near my cat and if I had a dog I would have gone elsewhere too
@@ruthwalton3457 you think it's weird i think it's respectable. He wouldn't work on what he did not know about. Could possible make things worse. It's like working on a car you no nothing about vs a car you could rebuild in a day or two.
I took in a stunted rescue just like her. She didn't eat hay at all and I had to grate all her veggies otherwise she couldn't eat. She also had spurs on her teeth and had to go for a dental and it saved her life. I was told she wouldn't be eating much after the dental as her mouth would be sore, but she ate like a beast immediately after surgery and has now grown a lot.
She was only 300g at 6 months old and now is 920g at 1 year! Very proud of her recovery, she's a fighter.
OMG, her hiding in the hay was too cute! She’s sooo adorable! Glad she is in your care!
When one of my guinea pigs was young she would do that all the time she even broke the hay rack once
the way she pulls and yanks on the syringe makes me wonder how much she really has been able to eat in the past. She acts as if its her first mean in weeks every time. Much love her way.
She's a beautiful color. At least she's in the best hands.
My gang puff up when they eat
I love these videos! I have never had a Guinea Pig before and was talked into by my daughter who had done her research. We got a young boy from a local animal shelter just two weeks ago. We loved him so much that we decided to get him a baby brother from the Cleveland Animal Protective League. There were two little boy babies there, and I ended up taking both of them. So I suddenly have three! My daughter and I watch all of your videos and tend to say, "Well, Saskia says...". We even took back our pet store bought habitat and built a nice large one per your recommendation from a different video. Keep up the great work!
That's really cool 👍. Just be careful when they hit teenage. 3 boars will 90% of the time fight. Meaning you can end up with 3 pigs that just won't get along again.
So glad you didn't stick with one, guinea pigs hate to be alone 😀
I lost my sweet wee boy recently from over grown molars. I live in New Zealand and we syringe fed him for over a month, calling all over the country trying to find someone who was confident or experienced. Most vets said he needed to just be put down. It makes me so sad thinking we could have saved him like this wee girl if there was a vet nearby who understood piggy's teeth. Hope she continues to recover she is adorable!
There is a company in the UK that sells the tooth cutting items if you are ever in that position again. I think they have how to videos online to do it yourself. It's risky, but if there is no hope otherwise it is worth a try
@@trancelove1234 even for the molars tho? I'd be willing to have a crack at the front inscissors if there was no other option but the molars are so tricky!
Thanks for that into tho that's good to keep in mind!
@@gboyer1901 they do have the materials to do the back mollars as well. My strong preference is to have an experienced vet do it, but if the only other option is to be euthanized it is at least another option that may have a happier ending.
Saskia, you and your team are a WEALTH of information. I am astonished by you and your knowledge of these creatures. I can guarantee that you know more than most exotic vets. Would you ever consider writing an e-book or something of the sort so that NEW and SEASONED guinea pig owners can refer to? Even knowing something as simple like guinea pigs won't choke on bell pepper seeds would be a major help to ALL. In pet stores, there are books on guinea pigs geared toward new pet owners, but I can guarantee it doesn't mention that vitamin C drops are denatured and made ineffective when exposed to sunlight, or that two male boars CAN be bonded, or that pet store cages 9/10 times are NOT suitable for piggies. I adore your channel, your organization, and what you and your team do each and every day. My piggies love your channel too! Showing people that piggies are NOT secondary pets. Instead, they are FAMILY members and should be loved and treated as such. Much love and admiration,
Clara (and my precious boars!) Nicky and Oliver
I have been planning to and need to go away from the ranch to be able to focus on. It is coming !!!
Also that when you add vitamin c to water makes in nothing and just makes water taste terrible. I love her videos. I don't have piggies and never have but watching her videos makes me want a couple. But everything in your comment was 100 true!!!
We can see all the piggies and beds are clean, we aint bothered about the floor . Well done all at LAGPR.
I wish I had watched your videos a couple years ago when my Nutmeg was sick.. The doctor told me that they knew something was probably wrong with this teeth but they didn't know what but it was likely malocclusion. The only option they gave was to put him to sleep! He was such a sweet boy and I miss him everyday. I wish I had knew more about guinea pigs at the time. You have taught me so much with your videos and I am now able to pay attention to the little things and understand what is going on in their bodies and seek appropriate help when necessary. I am so thankful for what you and the team do to help all those little piggies! I wish I still lived in Cali so I could come and visit!
My pigs also puff up their hair when they eat veggies.
My dominant piggie does that too I think he is trying to keep my other away cos he's greedy lol
Mine too
My smaller piggy does this too. She makes herself as big as she can when our dominant female is eating close by. Lol
My sow does this, my boar who she lives with doesn't because he is dominant
I think
I just love her and all her quirks! I really hope she continues to improve.
Yeah my male guinea pig puffs up whenever he eats his veggies. It’s super funny and cute. It’s the first I’ve ever seen too since I had some as a kid.
I must acknowledge that taking the terribly neglected animal to a better place is at least better than those who just leave them to die where they are because their pride is bigger than the poor soul (or so they think)...
But whenever I know about you guys I feel so happy and relived!
It looks likes she walking funny a bit like a rabbit. Here belly is round and she is so cute love that little face. Maybe eating is hurting her.
Could you imagine just eating straight lettuce with nothing on it & thinking it's the greatest thing?! God bless their little souls ❤️
that is the cutest guinea pig ever.
I know that capybaras puff up their hair when they are enjoying what they are eating and I have noticed this in my guinea pigs too
4 out of my 5 pigs puff up while eating. The 1 that doesn't is an abyssinian and if she does puff I can't tell due to her fur. They seem to sit with their back legs closer to their front so they look shorter but fatter. I heard it was to look bigger and intimidating for other pigs to leave them alone. I have no clue if it's true at all, but it's cute :)
Yes, that is indeed why they puff up! They don't want other pigs stealing their food!
LAGPR should do a compilation video of all the volunteers’ and workers’ personal piggies ☺️💕
Even the way this little one drank from the water bottle seemed different. She is a cutie for sure!
Only Saskia can master the art of Dual-Syringe, the most powerful feeding method of all times....
The Buddha boys are only true Buddha when the temptation of food is not present lmao
What cute little girl so glad she is in your care she is a little sweetie i can tell
I have seen some pigs puff up around others when they eat. It is a defense mechanism to scare off others, you are right!
She doesn’t like other piggies either, she likes personal human attention! 😍
my guinea pig puffs up to when they eat lmao
Abyssinian piggies are my favorite breed of pig! They are so punky and fun looking! I love all piggies, but there's a special place in my heart for aby's!
Me too! I love their fluffy cheeks! Marlin was SO cute!! 💖
She looks almost looks like a newborn. She is so cute hope she feels better.
Ugghhh. The way she hid under the hay with one eye peeking out to see what’s goin on. 😫😫😫 TOO. GOD. DAMN. CUTE.
Yep. I have 33 piggies and everyone puffs up when they eat their veggies. Weird phenomenon.
kelly rasdel same here
It's not a 'weird phenomenon ' most animals will puff up when eating to ensure they have space and look bigger to predators.
@Lesley O. that too! And if mine are the norm (they aren't) and a guide to all piggers, to discourage the human slaves from picking them up cause they look super heavy lol.
Omg! How do you manage with so many? Much respect to you for your care you give them. 😄
They are all rescue piggies from the shelter. Many of them have medical conditions. That's why I adopt them to give them the best life from now on. I love them all.
LOL Paddy says, "my cucumber, you losers get your own! Mom loves me best!"
New Guinea pig game tug of war.she is so pretty the colors are beautiful.
Aw that's cute she's a forever babay
Wat een verschil 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👌👌🥰
she is so tiny I hope you can nurse her back to health. LONG story short about 6 yrs ago I rescued a lil piggy just the exact look as her from someone who was trying to feed him to a snake after two days the snake never touched him so I begged if I could take him home and he lived 4 yrs. with me . But same behavior didn't want to eat not "normal" eating behavior only thing I could possible think is he was never given "food" or the proper kinds like fruits n veg as a baby maybe if anything just pellets after the original owner got him from who knows where. Possibly he was traumatized but it took some time and lots of love he did come around to eating/acting like a "normal" piggy but def never was like ANY other I had before or after.
That little piggie is so fortunate to be in your care. It was so good to see the improvement over the week and I hope it continues. My two shorthairs puff up when they eat. I assumed it was because they wanted to look bigger while competing for food. Keep up the good work and please continue the videos, I always learn something. 🙂
It was my first time going to your fall festival and my mom and i drove all the way from arizona. I really loved the festival and getting to see all the cute guinea pigs.
Oh wow all the way from Arizona!! Did I get to give you guys a hug?
Saskia from Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue No I didn’t even see you while we were walking around. I did get to have my mom take my picture hugging scotty though and i saw your son there but i didn’t get to talk to him since he was busy at one of the stands selling food or drinks.
@@wereleopard22 oh such shame - I was running around a lot. Next time!! ❤❤❤
I have to break little pieces off for one of my piggies and hand feed him when his teeth act up. I rescued him a year ago and he's had multiple issues with his teeth. He's cost us so much money in vet bills but I'm all in because they piggies are my babies.
This breaks my heart in two. She's starving. 😪😪😪😪. I would adopt her in a heartbeat❤
She is so adorable and different lol! I’m in love🥰 I hope she continues to thrive. Good thing she is eating..
Those two baby guinea piggies that were eating with her at the beginning were soooo adorable!
Although rare, some pigs can stay small (like months old while being about the size of an average 12 week old) despite eating enough and otherwise being active. Cysts on the ovaries or similar might be affecting them vs. what they are eating.
"shrimpy" is beyond adorable - if I was able to add one more animal - she would be the one - she needs a bow in her hair - see the little tuft on the top? yep, a bow
She’s trying but seems to be struggling a bit. She has bright eyes! Sweet thing 💕
We don't care about the dust. We care about how great you guys are ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is sure cute!! Thank you for attending to her!!
The little piggie is. Cute a and funny ❤
My three adopted piglets are so chubby. She looks so tiny and sweet. I have a mobile vet come by every few weeks to have their nails trimmed because it is very difficult to do by myself. After seeing this video I am purchasing extra chew items.
baby piggies everywhere! Great video footage of guinea pigs in general! I really enjoyed this long form, “hanging out with Saskia” type video!!
I hope the little one feels better soon. I totally agree that this teeth issue developing so early in the life cycle may be a sign of a possible “special needs” type situation. She does take to the syringe feeds totally well, and being totally adorable at the same time...so even if this is some sort of chronic/congenital issue she might need an experienced owner who can look after her properly...keep an eye on her teeth and feed as needed. She’s totally adorable tho!! 🤗
Thank you
She’s a little confused but she’s got the spirit!
Aww I would have loved to have her. She is a special piggie
My 10-month-old is 500 grams and looks like a baby, despite lacking for nothing. I've been syringe feeding her again tonight because she seems to be uninterested in hay. My vet says she just lost the genetic lottery and will always be small and likely not live too long. Your syringe feeding videos have been a life saver, for sure!
I found a stray cat last year and brought him to a local rescue. He had a horrible abscess on his cheek, druling especially when eating, no crunch sound when eating dry food, I told the woman who ran the rescue to have the vet check his mouth, as I was sure there was something going on. His breath smelt horrible like dead flesh. I told the woman that if he didn’t have any major health issues, I would adopt him right away, as they were very full. I’m a disabled student and I live well below the poverty line, and cannot afford thousands a year in vet bills right now. When I’m finished school in a few years, when this guy becomes an old timer, I will be able to afford the bills. Eventually he went to the vet, was neutered, abscess dealt with, and obviously they had to anesthetize him for this, he was also still feral and had to be doped up just for checkups especially after being in the car for the short drive to the vet. He was given the green light and I took him home. Well, the abscess didn’t heal, it came back even worse. I took him back to the same vet. They hadn’t looked in his mouth. After a $500 out of pocket investigation they finally realized he had multiple abscessed teeth. They said it must’ve been missed. IT MUSTVE BEEN MISSED? They obviously didn’t even look in his mouth, and completely ignored the smell of his breath and excessive drooling when they were anestetizing him and shoving a breathing tube up his nose. The surgery was going to be over $2,000. They said the problem had obviously been there for a while so luckily the rescue payed for the first surgery. They didn’t pay for the $500 investigation. It’s a year later now. When he had his mouth surgery I asked them to make sure they took all of the problem teeth. They didn’t, and I believe he is already in pain again, and will likely need another surgery soon. I brush his teeth, or what’s left of them, often. He recently went back to the vet because he had gotten in a bad fight. They again had to anesthetize him. I assumed that checking in an animals mouth during a vet visit was regular practice, something the vet does every single time, like you guys do for your piggies, well it isn’t. This is a different vet, and again they didn’t even check his mouth. Luckily the antibiotics for the fight got rid of the infection in his mouth, for now anyways, but I definitely see a major vet bill coming up in the very near future that won’t be covered by the rescue. I admire the fact that if you think something more could be going on with a piggy, you hold onto them, until they are completely recovered. I literally picked my cat up from the rescue the same day he went to the vet, he hadn’t even had a proper bath ever.
Patchie is so very cute
That guinea pig is so cute.
She’s exactly like one of our boy. They exact colour ! At first we knew something is off about him because of the way he eats. We sent him to the vet to get his teeth trimmed, it took about 3 days for him to get used to eating normally. He’s doing great now. He often got lost in his own world and started to stare into the blank but he’s super adorable. Its so good to see another piggies that has the same condition as him.
Patchie is adorable. I hope she is feeling better soon.
Little darling, sitting in the bowl
She's very cute... hope she starts eating.
When we first rescued our dominant female she wouldn't have much to do with any vegis. Apparently her previous owner had only pellets in her little cage. As she spent more time with our smaller girl she gradually started trying them. I'm sure this little one will figure it out 🧡
Oh my! Fingers crossed for the 7 month old wee guinea piggie. 💞😢
I found that one of my girls puffs up when she eats veggies I assumed to warn off her sister 🤔
I love Guinea pigs!❤❤❤
Aaaawww the baby’s are so cute , I love there big behind feet.
Awwe what a cutie
It's like she's never seen fresh veggies, nor seen hay before. A few of my rescues reacted the same way and that's my theory.
My Maynard poofs when I get his favorite salad mix. He LOVES Revol Sweet Butter mix like nothing else.
Gloria- the yearish girl puffs up when eating. High strung but easily calmed. I found her by the dumpster in a box.
Deloris- 7 weeks doesn’t but she is a pretty chill baby. Adopted at 4 weeks sick.
Edna- 6 months doesn’t puff up but again the most chill piggy ever. She just wants to nap and eat. Just adopted with her bonded mate.
Ethel- 1 year puffs up and seems to dance. She is my most high strung. Adopted recently with Edna.
I Love watching Patchie play tug of war with the syringe. She is such a character.
That little piggy has one hell of a spark! In one of her videos, Little Adventures was talking about how her piggies sometimes puff-up to make themselves look bigger when eating to prevent another pig from stealing their food. I'm not exactly sure if that's what Patchie is doing here, but maybe she's doing that because she doesn't want you to take the syringe away from her?
she a pretty girl she a small girl though i have 3 month old thats about twice her weight shes in good hands and will love to see her update
I love watching guinea pigs eat and play! They really are funny and entertaining wee flufflings and i find them calming too :)
Instead of grinding the food with her teeth she takes a small piece and eats it
Perhaps you could try putting some of the syringe feed in a bowl or on a bit of cardboard and see if she eats that
Also try with a softer food such as cucumber
Yes we tried that and silly little thing will NOT touch it then.
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue could you try blending her veggies into small pieces?
She's adorable
You are such a sweet, mommy. I am so happy to know you . Keep up the great work 👍
She is so CUTE!!!!
she’s so cute!
She's really picking up good eating habits. She must have loved it while you stuffed her silly! On her way to a good piggy life ♥️🥕🐹🥕♥️
One of my piggies lost half his tooth and would not eat. He could not eat and he tried the same way as the little one in the video. I hand fed him until the tooth grew out again as it luckily did. I spent many moments by the cage to make sure he ate it all until he did not want anymore.
She’s a funny shape as well. Such a sweetie though and was really hungry for all that critical care! I hope she grows a bit I’d have her and the other Ginger/brown aby in a second if I lived near! Hopefully with her teeth it was just neglect and she will be ok now
That tri colored mommy is adorable
I really really like what you're doing and hope you continue. You're one of the few people who put heart and mind to those animals and that's wonderful.
Sadly I'm allergic but I still take care of an old piggie lady having diabetes😍
Much love to you! ♥️
I wanna hug it :3
Shes smaller then my male who will be 8 weeks Wednesday.
Awe she’s so adorable and precious 😍🥹🤗❤️🐹🐾✝️🙏🏼
She's absolutely adorable!! I'd probably try to adopt her, but I'm on the east coast.
Can you please have a video on how to identify age of a Guinea pig ....
Yes will do!
Youre the real mother of hope Sas!
This has become my go to feel good vid on CZcams.
She sure has a healthy appetite, so hopefully she starts gaining some good weight. What a little sweetheart ♥️
Poor little girl, she's so cute so pretty. But I know she can't bee in better hands. OLD FRENCH LADY.
I love that your boys don't fight! I wish I could have more boys together, but my two are on the verge of divorcing.
The dwarf piggie is very cute. ^^
Nelly looks so much like one I have called Panda! 😍
i have 3 little ladies ages 1.5-3 and they all puff up eating veggies.
I have a 17 month old runt that is baby size and she's smaller than that piggy. Just because a guinea pig is tiny doesn't mean they was deprived. I had her since she was a baby. She's eats good like my other piggies do but unfortunately she never grew. She's the only pig I have like this. I believe she's rare
Súper cute
She's cute as a button 😍❤️
Im so happy that you guys are safe with all the piggies! And i KNOW you can help her!
