Any pointers for Guinea Pigs

[SamTheGuru]

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?

Gut them, but no need to skin, skewer and season, then straight on the dying coals.
Delicious.

Bake them in clay.

That’s just wrong mate.



















Air-fried is the way to go.

They're supposed to be nice grilled, on a slice of toast, with a spoon of chutney.

Typical bluemoon, man asks for advice and you shower give him a load of nonsense.
Wrap them in foil with a bit of butter and in the oven at 200 for 3 hours, delicious.

Sore point, just had to bury the granddaughter's. Didn't realise they were so big, always thought they were Hamster size.
Didn't look good down the hole. If had realised I'd have made a box !

Try to ask a serious question for serious answers, but it appears everybody has missed the point. I was actually asking whether to use Oregano or Thyme?

In all seriousness, do you give them free reign?

Cellotape them tightly if you are going to fuck them or they will split.

Or so Musty told me.

Apparently, they like dark, warm hiding spaces.
Like Richard Gere’s arsehole.

I doubt they have the opposable digits to hold one, so there’s probably no market for them either, but good luck in your search.

No they shit every minute and love to primarily hide under cover.

Pretty sure all rodents chew wires too, so hopefully not too late and one of the serving suggestions above is the most relevant.

If you're giving them a shelter to hide under, put an extra tray underneath and perhaps even something cloth-like as they will mostly piss under there so it saves cleaning up.

Delicious.

A delicacy in Peru by all accounts

Get a male and soon you will have a coat to keep the missus warm in the winter

200 for 3 hours! You've never cooked a pig have you?

 

[dickie davies]

Neighbours had a couple of male guinea pigs for the kids and called them Noel and Liam
That is until they produced lots of little Gallaghers!

 

[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.
