2 guinea pigs dumped in the woods

[Catherine]

I just don't understand why they dump them outside. The fact that they were left in a box with food tells you the people knew they could not survive in the wild. Guinea pigs are so used to being cared for that they would not survive in the wilds of a back yard. They do not know what to eat or where to hide.

Sadly many are probably never found, or at least not found by people. Hawks and foxes would take care of them pretty quick. We have coyotes here and they grab peoples dogs from their back yards. Abandoned guinea pigs and rabbits wouldn't stand a chance.

Years ago when I got Frodo from the animal shelter they told me he was a stray. I thought they were being silly, now I realize, he was probably found outside.

I could probably go for walks in High Park(big city park not far from me) and find guinea pigs. I know they find rabbits all the time.

People make me so mad sometimes.
