By Aaron Taylor ,Edmonton Sun This guinea pig named Pearl was one of 30 rodents dumped at the Edmonton Human Society's shelter this week. Officials say the litter is a lot for staff and are urging animal-lovers to adopt. TOM BRAID/ EDMONTON SUN/ QMI ...

This doesn't happen much with Guinea Pigs as far as the HS is concerned. Good to see they took a stance for our small friends.
I love how in the video the lady explains that they make a soothing sound, called wheeking.
"Soothing" is not a word I'd use for wheeking. Ha!
Yeah, it's possible she's not familiar with what wheeking is. She might have heard the word before and also heard what we might call "chutting" or maybe the purring or rumbling and assumed they were one in the same. Wheeking is definitely not soothing.
So thats why there was a major increase in guinea pigs. I check the SPCA website all the time and I noticed they had a huge number of guinea pigs all of a sudden. This is one of the reason why my husband and I had talked about getting a friend for my piggie Mickey who is all alone because he doesn't get along with the other boys.
Yes, that soothing "WHEEEEEEK, WHEEEEEEK, WHEEEEEK" that jolts me out of bed if I try to sleep past 8.
Glad they're getting attention though!!
Haha, as that women was talking about how guinea pigs make a soothing sound, all I hear behind me while on my computer is "Wheek! Wheek! Wheek! Wheek!"
Oh yes and that lovely migraine-enducing wheek is magnified when the room isn't carpeted and the sound bounces off the floor and walls...but yes..soothing haha!
