This reminded me of a documentary I watched about guinea pigs recently. There is a big research project at the University of Münster in Germany and they have a population of wild guinea pigs and a population of domestic guinea pigs. They showed one experiment where they put a domestic guinea pig in a maze, but there was a bowl of food at the beginning of the maze and that guinea pig just sat there and ate instead of exploring, but the wild guinea pig was more interested in exploring than eating. They believe the wild guinea pig has an instinct to search for multiple food sources. Maybe your pigs have learned there is food outside of the cage and they are following their instinct to look for it -- like the Easter egg hunt. The documentary is on RUclips, but I strongly caution anyone thinking of watching it that there are segments that explore guinea pig's history as a food source in South America that continues today. They are considered a sacred food eaten at religious festivals in Peru and are raised like we have chickens in European cultures. Some people may not want to watch that.

Fitz is practically rolling her eyes : "I'll eat fur if I want to." Zelda is getting so big, and I am always impressed by Tutu's floof. Wilby is becoming such a brave boy.
The wheeks! I used to have guinea pigs, I miss that sound so much. Unfortunately we don't have the space for them, it wouldn't be responsible. I have to get my wheeks craving from people on the Internet, so thank you for posting!
Oh such beautiful 😍 furbabies!!! PEAFLAKES will get them wheeking every time!!! Our girls go wild just hearing me say the word or of course when they hear the bag too!! So cute 😍 🐽!!!!
Fitz aka Gatsby Jr, eating Lumi's fur and look she gave you, when you told her it wasn't nice to eat Lumi's fur. Wilby, Tutu, and Zelda just waiting for their turn for Peaflakes. And Lumi keeping Nuggets love of Peaflakes going strong and taking advantage of getting in the Peaflake box. Love the piggies so much.
Did Fitz just literally use Lumi as a tool? As a short person I can relate: I'll grab anything I can to pull something off a high shelf. 🤷♀ Fitz decided to use whatever was near to pull the pea flake box closer...in this case, it was Lumi.
thank you ❤️ and thanks for the t shirt idea! I'll for sure plan on revamping the shop later this year as we haven't had new designs in ages (and our new piggies need their face on there as well 🐽).
2:05 I can't remember the name of the white teddy piggy the one who kept pawing at the pea flake box. but is that missing fur on the foot/leg or is it just the lighting and a patch of differ colored fur ?
4:32 barbering. It can be boredom, stress, behavioural issues . My one girl did that to herself, barbered herself out of stress. One I switched their cage back to the way it used to be, the behaviour stopped
Happy Guinea pig appreciation day to all our wonderful bundles of fluff, both past and present!
She pulled her back by her fur and with Lumi came the peaflakes closer. Very smart, Fitz!
I just know Lumi was dreaming of the pea flake box. Nugget would be so proud!
Just about to say the same thing! 😊
❤
Wow! Fitz pulled Lumi out of the way to get to the pea flakes and managed to get the pea flake box nearer to her in the process somehow. Clever girl!

ROFL FITZ❤ That is some epic problem solving skills. Lumi has food, Fitz wants. AHH, bring Lumi, food comes too!

I think that Lumi was channeling her inner Nugget. Lumi is just a little love!

The herd is looking as adorable as usual. With the right kind of crumbs, Lumi makes an excellent Roomba!
FItz was sitting there, like she was saying 'like I care' lol

Lumi must be the first to get her pea flakes😂😂

Lumie deserves ALL the pea flakes. ❤
Nugget lives on in the pea flake box 😅. At least they're the vacuum and clean up after themselves 😂.
Oh such beautiful 😍 furbabies!!! PEAFLAKES will get them wheeking every time!!! Our girls go wild just hearing me say the word or of course when they hear the bag too!! So cute 😍 🐽!!!!

Lumi is the last of the original girls!Miss all of the others.
"if hair not food why delicious"
Danke!
Extra cucumber for the piggies! + Suggestion: Why not print original photos of your cute guinea pig faces on T-shirts that can be worn all year round?
thank you ❤️ and thanks for the t shirt idea! I'll for sure plan on revamping the shop later this year as we haven't had new designs in ages (and our new piggies need their face on there as well 🐽).
