Guinea pigs: the food source that was so cute people made them pets.

I’ve never had a Guinea pig but I think they’re adorable and love their little “weep weep weep” noises!

@Scotty’s Animals, Scotty you are such a kind soul! Thank you for helping these precious creatures! 😊

My thirty-year (so far!) journey with guinea pigs also began with a third-grade classroom piggie! I started reading up on them (and I brought him veggies every morning with the permission of the teacher) and begged my parents and a year later, I had my first piggie!

I didn’t know Queen Elizabeth had a pet guineapig till this day intrigued already

I always thought they started out as beans evolving into furry little friends :d

Guinea pigs are my spirit animal, and its good to see someone else as enthusiastic with their history

Rubbing a plump piggie on me always makes a booboo feel better so that checks out. xD

I just love guinea pigs so much, they have such beautiful and docile personalities. They have so much love to give, they love everyone and anyone and best of all they have no ounce of aggression.

Through the domestication process, Guinea pigs can hear a plastic bag rustle from up to two miles

Thanks, Scott! Very informative and lots of fun. I LOVE my boys Teddy and Zen-Zen. I take great care of them. They're right around 5 1/2 years old and still going strong. I get them checked out by a vet every six months.

This video makes a well organized and detailed exposition on what cuys are and their history. As a Peruvian who loves them both as a source of food and companions, I approve of this.
You have my gratitude.
