Any pointers for Guinea Pigs

[york away to this!]

My advice for guinea pigs would be as follows.
1. Stop squeaking and munching lettuce at all times of day and night in the house. You'll annoy the family who will re-house you in a cheap hutch at the end of the garden.
2. If you ignore point 1. above, refuse to be relocated to the hutch. It will be broken in to by that stray, starving boxer dog that's been hanging around for a couple of weeks - and your heads will be found in the middle of the garden in the morning by the distraut 6 year old child of the house.

Don't go to Peru

They do like to eat them there, don't they?

I visited Peru 25 years ago and never tried them, but they were usually on the menu.

From memory, they were named Coy, Chy, or something like that.

Hutches with Guinea Pigs inside were a common sight.

A delicacy in Peru by all accounts

they eat them here too, and Bolivia, the taste is not bad if Im honest.

Mrs just brought home a couple of females. I have never had rodents before. Any pointers on what you need to do with them?

From what I read online, they are just fat bastards and you just keep giving them vegetation?

Absolutely pointless pets.
You feed them, they shit, you clean them out.
That's it.

They love eating dandelions. Thats all I know about guinea pigs. I know loads of other stuff though.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Pet shop near us used to sell them £1.05p each for some reason.

Don't try and shag one. Never ends well.

Perhaps it was because that's what pet shops do.

Or feltching if you're that depraved. Appreciate in the tale below it was a gerbil but be warned...

somebody entirely missed the point on this one ;-)

 

[SamTheGuru]

3 days in and all they do is eat and shit. And they shit. And they shit. And they shit. Luckily they seem to be hard pellets.

Get rid of the wife.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Get rid of the wife.

And keep the Guinea Pigs? :D

 

[chaddblue]

We had two. Absolute waste of time. Stink as well

Came back off holiday and they were both dead in the hutch. Think a fox had scared them to death. Apparently they have weak hearts
