A guinea pig who lives with his owners in Cincinnati Ohio named Snowball became famous in his hometown when he fled his owners home to have his own adventure by traveling down a sewer pipe. Snowball's owners called the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati to rescue their pet. MSD employees Reggie Gray and Jeff Greene came to the area where Snowball was located in the sewer. Jeff went down the sewer in his attempt to rescue Snowball. The one way that Jeff was able to get Snowball out of the sewer was to roll a basketball toward Snowball which was successful in getting him out of the sewer and return to his owners who appreciated the wonderful job the MSD employees did to rescue their pet. Snowball was lucky that the rescue happened on a sunny day since had it rained the day the Snowball decided to travel into the sewer, he most likely would have been washed away.

Why it gets away? Is it not being secured especially in a cage? Here in our place we put it in a cage.

I agree with you. A guinea pig inside of a cage cannot leave a home.

That is true since I am sure the owner of Snowball will do a better job of keeping the guinea pig inside the home next time.
