Every morning at the Bosgoed Animal Paradise, somebody turns on the guinea pig spigot and out they pour — eighty hungry peegs grazing in the grass. This could be the cutest video you see all wheek, wheek, wheek! (via Murray C.)
And how do the guinea pigs get paid after a hard day’s work, I hear you asking? In pumpkin!
Omg Allein, where did you find that??
Guinea pig spigot for sure….does that family need any help? Are they hiring?
I don’t know; I saw it a long time ago and now whenever I see peegie posts I think of it.
I can’t believe you found this Allein! You are a talented researcher.
This is epic!😂
Allein wins the internetz again.
Dear heavens. Its like guinea pig tribbles.
The chickens though!! 🐓🐔🐓🐔 🤣🤣
And the peegs with black noses and ears, looking like tiny sheeps!
Anyone else wonder why there’s a disclaimer that “These are our pets, we don’t eat them”??? And then seeing the chickens pop out, I’m like wait, what?? That’s not a guinea pig! Way too cute.
There are communities in South america that raise guinea pigs for food.
Piggie pumpkin piranhas! That was just adorable! I loved their little nails clomping on the hard path.
Five of these are not like the others…
I wonder if they count them every night, or how else would you know if some didn’t return. Also, I presume they constantly are breeding? I’m sure the peegs enjoy the freedom with their chicken friends.
I don’t want to be all doom and gloom, but is there a location on earth with no native eagles, hawks or falcons? Or, for that matter, foxes or coyotes (depending on the fence situation). But mostly I’d be worried about death from above. If I were a hawk at 1,000 feet looking down, that’d look like an all-you-can-eat buffet. So maybe they count them every night out of curiosity to know how many did NOT return. I’ve never owned 80 of anything. Do they name them? Do they keep track of them individually? Or when they end the day a couple short, do they shrug their shoulders and think, “Oh, well, they’ll be making more soon enough”? I’d THINK they WOULD name them and care about them individually, no matter how many, and maybe they have magical raptor repellent. But I doubt the entire pasture is covered with netting.
Incidentally, the chickens are in the same situation, but a chicken is bigger, faster, and better armed than a guinea pig; I’d give them a better chance at self-defense. Guinea pigs are chicken nuggets on legs to any competent predator. That’s why I’m mostly worried about them.
Maybe if there were such predators the guinea pigs wouldn’t all happily stream out there and spend the day.
