I do not find this video very funny at all, but just another example of how careless owners can be irresponsible and how it can affect their animals.

Video removed by moderator. Please see post #6 for reason.

This Guinea Pig races and races around its cage, and it just decides to jump, and out of the cage it goes.
Should no one have been there to actually witness and video tape their animal jumping out of its pen, this guinea pig could have been seriously injured, and possibly missing.

That's actually pretty scary. Those cardboard walls weren't much lower than grid walls :eek:. Has anyone ever had an issue with their pigs jumping over a wall?!?! Our piggy cage is quite high off the floor. It's actually the roof of the bunny enclosure.

I'll never get another good night sleep...

Do you think it's possible for them to jump over the 14" high C&C Cubes?

Wow, after seeing that i am really glad that my cage has a top. I had no idea they could jump that high. If you look at the next video that comes up you can see a piggy jumping onto a chair, which is even higher than the cardboard. Makes me wonder if the grids are high enough?
