Poor Youtube Pigs.

YouTube - Guinea pig cage is NOT to small!!

YouTube - pt 2 of guinea pig cage thingy

As you can probably tell, I'm pigs003. She says that that cage is 7.8 sq feet! My 2x3 was probably twice as big and that's only 7.5 sq ft. She got angry with me for telling her it was too small and to try a 2x3 C&C cage to make her pigs happy. Her excuse is that they're 3 and under 4 pounds! I just feel bad for those piggies. Their owner simply just does not care...

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

ugh, that's horrible, maybe you should take a video of your cage and do a video response to that?

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

Typical really, unless her bed is incredibly big, and is distorting the dimensions of the cage, I doubt whether it is even half the required size for two pigs (which in this case is a 2x3)

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

So...she doesn't care about public opinion, yet she makes a video of her cage to prove that it's not too small? I don't get the logic, why is she posting at all?

Poor cavies! I hate how people will argue, but won't show any proof.

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

I know! That's what caught my attention at first and I corrected her. Some people are too stubborn to admit they're wrong. Unfortunately the pigs have to suffer because of her.

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

People can be so stubborn. It's sad it goes at cost of a poor defenseless guinea pig. I posted a comment but it's not appearing yet for some reason.

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

I think she disabled comments. Maybe we should all flag her for animal cruelty ?

That's exactly what I was thinking. If she's so confident in her cage, why did she make a video solely to show and tell everyone that it's not too small. Obviously she has some doubt herself or it wouldn't have even crossed her mind that it was something to defend. Also, I agree with you all. If she is so confident that her cage is fine, why doesn't she try the C&C so she can tell us to *screw* off (to use her words, only more politely) with actual reasoning and proof behind it. Most of us have tried both ways, and so actually have some experience and proof behind what we are saying. Sounds like a thick-headed kid, and unfortunately, there's no reasoning with that, as she has so explicitly told us .

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

Oh, and not to be a snot, but this probably isn't the time to mention the colored bits and choking hazards in the food. Sorry, I'm in kind of a grumpy mood this morning - I had to get up early.

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

I also was thinking the same thing about the food. I didn't realize how small it really was from the first clip do to the poor lighting until I saw the second clip with the bedding and the 2 pigs in it.

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

I hate how people are advising her about the cage, and she decides to deliberately (sp?) decides to ignore their advice, so many people have posted comments telling her it is infact too small, but she's too selfish to take note of that. I also noticed about the coloured food and the choking hazard.

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

I just responded to the video and my post is there. I think that she is only deleting the ones that she doesn't like or want to have people seeing.

Did you all see that she only feeds them hay once a day and that it is only a couple of handfuls! I had to respond to that and then add in at the end that her cage was to small.

Correct me if I am wrong here, I know that pine bedding can cause respiratory problems for small animals but never heard of liver problems. I thought I heard her say that pine bedding causes liver problems? Am I right in what I heard?

Yeah she said she only gives them hay in the evening - just a handful.

Re: Poor Youtube Pigs.

She deleted some of my messages, but I just left another. I think she got caught in a lie and doesn't want to give in that she's wrong. If you look at her other videos, she stands up for the well-being of humans, yet stuffs her animals in small cages.
