Enjoy The Cutest Video Of 2020 Showing The Moment Zoo Keepers Groomed Guinea Pigs In Tokyo Zoo

Guinea Pigs grooming

The Inokashira Park Zoo in Tokyo is not only popular for its conservation program. The zoo also gives visitors a nice big pond to enjoy. But if you're like me, the soothing beauty of nature wouldn't be enough to keep you nice and relaxed. You will want to get a little closer and observe what's happening behind the scenes.

Since 1987, Inokashira Park Zoo has allowed visitors to get closer to its rodent when their popular guinea pig petting area was opened. But because no one likes to pet a dirty pig, the zookeepers always ensure that the guinea pigs are kept nice and clean by washing their fur twice a year. 

Now thanks to Twitter, you don't need to visit Tokyo in order to watch how the zoo keepers pamper the guinea pigs. You can just relax and watch this amazing video at the comfort of your home.

In this short video shared on twitter, every step of the process is shown - from the shampoo to the blow dry. Even the footage showing when the zookeepers are scrubbing at their roots and the guinea pigs remaining still as if they’ve transcended to ultimate relaxation mode is shown.

 

Some pet parents will tell you that many small exotic pets don’t enjoy being washed but, based on this video, there are, of course, exceptions. So don't be too surprised at how calm the guinea pigs remained throughout the whole grooming process.

Instead, if you've been having a stressful week and would want to unwind by seeing some adorable critters getting groomed, this video is perfect. Don’t worry if cute creatures are not your thing. Inokashira Park Zoo has plenty of other animals to enjoy too, including the King of the Monsters!

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health. The Biological Impossibility of Canine Autism The claim that vaccines cause autism in dogs is not supported by veterinary science due to fundamental biological reasons. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a human neurodevelopmental condition. Its diagnosis depends on asses...

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution. Indicator of a Professional “Before the bath, we apply a sterile, vet-approved ophthalmic ointment to lubricate the eyes and create a barrier against shampoo. We av...

The Practical Path to a Pet-Friendly Rental: A Data-Backed Guide

“I would have lived in a tent before I surrendered my dog ,” says Valerie Ducharme, a renter who faced the Yukon's housing crisis with her Australian shepherd. Her sentiment is common. According to a 2023 Canadian Rental Housing Index report , nearly 40% of rental households include pets, yet a systematic analysis of listings in major Canadian markets shows that less than 30% explicitly welcome them. This gap creates a logistical and emotional crisis for responsible pet owners . This guide provides a concrete strategy based on documented landlord concerns and successful tenant approaches. It replaces hope with a structured plan. 1. Reframe the Conversation from Problem to Solution Landlords decline pets based on rational risk assessment.
