The Guinea Pig Gazette, Volume 1, Issue 4!

For caretakers of guinea pigs encouraging the proper techniques in handling, treating and raising cavies.

So the Gazette is going to be postponed. Again. I’m moving to Shropshire this week (with the pigs!) and didn’t find time this week to do it. But I WILL do it again! Honest! Watch this space. And the present (?) I think I got for my birthday? (It’s Theodore. Theodore is the present.)

I turned 28 three minutes ago… and found a guinea pig foot. What does this mean? Is it a sign?

When your pigmom is (still) trying to sort moving and the latest landlord just said “guinea pigs will be fine if kept outside” which is chill but not for you because you sleep in dressing gowns on your mom’s bed and look like this when you wake up unexpectedly

What is Theodore doing?!

Last night they melted my heart by curling up exactly where they curled up for our first cuddles when they were only weeks old 🥹

I should note that I was not holding veggies, I hadn’t rustled a bag, it’s not even dinner time… Percival has just learned that if he ACTS like I’m holding food there’s a 99.99% chance I’ll find it adorable give him a peaflake. And Theodore has learned he’ll get one, too. Pigs are smart. 😂

I’m not sure Theodore can breathe and he’s putting pressure on my airway… but he MUST be closest, oxygen be damned!😂

He doesn’t like the way the mini house is rubbing against his fur but he won’t move away from it. (I moved it as soon as I took the video and he is now fine. He’s a goober.)

Percival isn’t angry, he’s not going to be mad. He just wants to know why it’s 7:02 when he usually eats at 7:00.

Y'all, I just want to say that I am SICK and TIRED of people photoshopping images of their guinea pigs. This is a place to be authentic, like Percival! 😉
