Aussie Farmer Questions Guinea Pigs' Engineering Abilities After They Eat Bottom of Hay Bale

A farmer in Tinamba, Australia, told his guinea pigs they lacked understanding of construction basics after their eating pattern resulted in a precariously balanced hay bale.

Australian farmer Josh Neille captured the video of his free-range guinea pigs, who Neille says “number into the hundreds.”

“At the moment, it is very dry, so they eat everything from the ground up,” Neille said.

In the video, Neille can be heard chastising the guinea pigs, telling them that they could get crushed by the hay bale and joking that he will have to call WorkSafe. “You’re undermining your ability, and you’re going to get squashed,” he said.

Neille can also be seen in the footage showing off the different types of guinea pigs they have on the farm.

Neille regularly shares images of his farm animals on his Instagram account. Credit: Joshua Neille via Storyful
