Bella Lin, 17, started a side hustle to give her guinea pigs more quality of life.
In those days, Lin let her three guinea pigs roam her parents' grassy, fenced-in backyard just outside of San Francisco.
She assumed the first, Snoopy, had escaped and she continued letting her guinea pigs outside — until her dad watched an eagle fly away with another, she recalls.
But the glass was too expensive to ship, and her smaller guinea pigs' feet got stuck in the floor.
Lin has owned guinea pigs for years, and has kept up to 10 at one time, she says.
