The baby had a name. His name was Lovebug. We did everything we could, but without that developed swallow reflex, there wasn’t a lot of hope for recovery. It is hard to see in the video, but his pink skin was grey. He was hypoxic. His blood was not absorbing or carrying oxygen to his tissues even though he was breathing. As said in the video, he was probably trampled on/crushed after birth considering there were 16 guinea pigs in one cat carrier. I am sorry we couldn’t do more. I am sorry. His three siblings are doing great (a girl and two boys) and will go to their forever homes in a couple of weeks when they are weaned. Some of the big males have been adopted already! Thank you, everyone, for your support of our rescue.

At least he was genuinely cared for and comfortable when he passed.

Bless the man for not only contacting you, but also for actually getting his old cage so that he could separate the male guinea pig.

Remember, the baby was loved. He didn't die in the heartless, scary situation by that trash can. He was in y our loving hands, and will be wheeking for you when you cross the rainbow bridge.

Thank to the man who did not pass by indifferently by the lesser brothers!

Poor sweet baby. My heart hurts, every time I see little innocent babies like this one leave the world before they've even had a chance to really live 💔 Thank you for doing what you could to help the little one, Saskia! At least in his last moments he knew some form of love and care. Thank you for putting your heart into caring for all of the guinea pigs that you have taken into your arms ❤️ God bless you for your dedication!

Poor little guy didn't even have a chance to live. I am glad he experienced some love in his short life, it wasn't just all suffering. Al least his siblings will have a chance now they are with you.

I don’t think ppl truly understand how much work goes into having a guinea pig. They are a lot of work and take a lot of time. But they are worth it.

One of my piggy boys was left in a dumpster in a cage with another piggy who didn't make it. I'm so thankful for the people who found him and the guy who found these guys!

Stay strong Saskia. I know you've experience a lot of heartbreak, both personal and at the rescue but know that your love and kindness helps these poor little guys. Without you there would be countless abandoned, neglected, or guineas without a home. My herd and I send you lots of love! ❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️

I was doing courier service some years ago. Someone left 4 newborn kittens in a box at a vet after hours. I knew if I left them there by morning they'd be dead. Took them home fed with a bottle like this. Every two hours. Of the 4, only two survived. Super devastated. But the 2 got great forever homes in a big house. ❤

This is so sad poor piggie. Just yesterday I had to bury a squirrel that I saw bite the transformer on the telephone pole outside my home. I had just gotten done saving a snake bird that had string tied around its beak so hard I had to take a pair of scissors and carefully cut away all the string. The poor thing couldn't open and close it's long beak. It took me about fifteen minutes to cut all the string off before I could set him free. He had a happy ending, but just as soon as I got done saving that bird I watch a squirrel get zapped and so I buried him and thought how cruel life is. I am grateful for all the pigs you did save but sadly no matter how hard you try you can't save them all. If there's an afterlife. I hope my Butthead is there and he guides all the new piggies along that cross tge rainbow bridge. I hope they are in a beautiful park on the other side with endless food of all kinds. I hope the piggies are all building cool things like tunnels and playing in the grass. All I can do is hope that this place in my head exist in another dimension.

So heartbreaking. But people get 2 and then get over their heads when they start breeding. That's how I got 14, rescuing from coworkers. Last 3 were 2 pregnant females and dad. He started with 2 ended up with 8, gave me 3 and kept mom and 4 babies. Afraid he's back up to more, especially when I told him to take boys out at 3 weeks and he was shocked! One of the "boys" he gave me was a girl and was with the dad. The other girl was extremely pregnant-had 3 a week later, so 3 became 8 for me!! But at least not for them.

It's a bit of work but they are beyond worth it & let me know every time I walk in the door. 🥰

What a nice guy saving these all doing a good job xx

My heart shattered into a million pieces 😭 That little baby didn’t deserve that short life of suffering. I’m so glad the others are looking okay. They don’t deserve to be treated like trash and shoved in a small space together 😞 Hopefully they’ll all go on to experience endless comfort and love. I know we shouldn’t think on “if only” situations... but considering how new the baby was, if the person/people had surrendered them instead of dumping them, the momma could’ve given birth in a safe setting and give the baby a chance 😞 I can’t believe there’s people out there who can be so heartless. It’s such an extreme opposite seeing all the love and dedication you all give to each individual ❤️ They have the best chance with you. Thank you for all you do.
