Pit Bull Guinea Pig non Attack

Patches was dumped in a wire cage at a pet store with two other cavies. He stays in my garden when the weather isn't cold or rainy and has plenty of shade, water and a box fan. At night he goes into his hutch. Here he's having a bowl of feed, though he free grazes all day and during the night as his hutch has a fenced area to let him eat grass as he pleases. He does have itchy issues, which he's never gotten over in the year I've had him and a scraping at the vet clinic ruled out parasites, etc. *PLEASE don't email me about how much happier he'd be indoors, as he hates coming inside when it rains or is cold.
Gypsy the pit bull terrier was introduced onlead to the guinea pigs and obeys the "Leave it!" command, though I would never trust a predator like her not to chase an animal when I'm not standing over her. Gypsy's a lazy old thing and prefers to be indoors when given the chance.
I'm amazed how the majority of search words used to find this video involve "pit bull attack" and "snake attack guinea pig". It takes much more animal knowledge and training ability to condition a predator NOT to attack prey animals. There's nothing "natural" about caged predators anyway, that's just an excuse for one's moral degeneration. Yuck.

Aww! The guinea pig's SO cute!

[bettiepagestyle]

He's starting to look like an older guy. I have a new foster dog that is resistant to learning "leave it" and sneakily grabbed poor Patches once a training session was over. He wasn't hurt as I stopped the dog immediately. Just shows that some dogs are more difficult than others (same breed).

My guinea pigs have an outdoor enclosure and indoor. They are also happier outside.

We have a field mouse living behind our fridge and won't leave. But my mom keeps caring for it- even tiny bowls of food and water so it doesn't run into the cats.

So, I guess why would it leave.

It's very humid here and gets into the 90s, but I suscpect that these guineas lived outside before they were dumped and they have been healthy and sassy for over a year outside. I check them daily for disease and they eat/drink when they want, not when I'm available. Plus none of the three want anything to do with people, they're sort of feral but wheek into the door when their food bowl is late.

sweet, let's show the loving side!

[bettiepagestyle]

Well, the pit bull isn't "loving" toward the guinea pig but she does respect that I won't allow her to harm them. The breed is great but the owners need to set limits.

This video shouldn't even be made most owners that have pitbulls that are trained that have guinea pigs never be mean to each other.

haha it reminds me of a guinea pig once (R.I.P shelly) she would take the salad to a corner where she could block pingo from getting to it (R.I.P pingo)

this video just sucks because you are mumbling and it just sucks

[CheesyPanda1]

Yeah. Only one of the vet techs would help him and the other vet and my mom won't declaw.

They had a cat brought in that was declawed on all 4 feet and defanged. After all that they abandoned him because they were allergic to cats. It was hard to find him a home because he became so angry and distrusting.

My mom's friend took him. He is not so mean now but still doesn't like to be pet.

[RagazzaBlusera]

I can't believe any reputable doctor would support declawing. It's like cutting off a human's fingers.

[CheesyPanda1]

Some people think all animals should be kept locked up indoors for their own safety. My mom worked with a vet who thought all cats should be declawed on all 4 paws and always kept locked inside. My mom doesn't work for him anymore. If you see guinea pigs in their native Peru, they do fine outdoors and eating leftover scraps. People there eat healthy so even the scraps are healthy. All animals love the outdoors, except the field mouse behind our frige.
