• 1:16
  Speaker 2: We call this little guy a skinny pig. He's technically
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: a hairless skinny pig, but it's kind of a fun
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: little nickname for him.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: What kind of things does he eat?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, Graham loves a snack. He loves banana, he loves apple, lettuce, carrots,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and his favorite is grapes. So he's a healthy eater.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's two years old. And you can adopt him
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: for like just twenty five bucks, I think.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his adoption fee is twenty five dollars. And we'll
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: also have a little go home bag to get Graham
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: started in his new home as well.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Now, now, guinea pigs make remarkable noises, and I don't
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: know if we can yeh, And le's see if we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: can get get Graham to make some noise, that little
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: cooing noise. He's just kind of grunting right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Well, he's not he's not here for your amusement. He'll
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: talk when he wants to talk.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Listen to me. Who who.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I think we're just getting today?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You know that there there I noticed there's a restriction. Uh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: if you now you could just adopt him, he could
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: be a standalone pat You don't have to have another
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: guinea pig.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You do not have to have another guinea pig. Graham
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: has lived successfully with other guinea pigs in the past,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: but he is kind of a solitary fellow. He would
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: prefer to have a larger enclosure where he can have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: some alone time if he would like to, which I
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: totally get Graham. I'm right there with you too.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But if if you have another guinea pig and you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: think you would be a good companion, it has to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: be a male.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Guinea pigs are actually one of the only animals that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we cannot spare neuter at the Humane Society of Utah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: They're just very tiny and you need specialized equipment that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: we do not have access to. So if he's going
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to go to a home with another guinea pig, they
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: would either need to be mail or you would need
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to contact a full service exotics veterinarian to get Graham neutered,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: because as cute as he is, we don't need a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of little Graham cracker crumbs running around.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I just I just I am astonished at how great he is.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Graham is. He's adoptable.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I'm betting he'll be gone by the end of the day.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I sure hope. So and surprise, we actually have two
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: skinny pigs right now. So you get to HSU and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Graham has already found a home. Toad would also love
• 3:47
