I love the interaction between piggies and their friends. As we all know on this forum how important it is for Guinea pigs to have the same species companionship, I thought it would be good to share photos of our piggies enjoying each other company. For those new to Guinea pigs and don’t quite believe how important it is for their welfare and wellbeing.
Most Guineas do not sleep next to each other or massively share close proximity, But they certainly do communicate in many different ways through sound, body language and subtle communication we would sometimes wouldn’t pick up on. They also share bonds through grooming each other such as eye licking shown here lovingly by Emily cleaning Buttons eyes. Emily is the chief eye cleaner in the trio, She often licks both Buttons and Lions eyes. Sadly I rarely see anyone return the favour to her! But it’s ever so sweet how persistent she is about doing it everyday.

Here are some food time photos, another great friendship and relationship building activity.
