The Adventures of Popchop and Fuzzable

[Cheekypigs]

The lads here demonstrating the clever system for catching them from the guinea pig garden - the house has a lockable door and removable roof. Thanks to piggy grandpa for this innovation!

Popchop is embracing the wilderness lifestyle. Fuzzable likes his creature comforts.

The thousand yard stare of a sleeping guinea pig. Equal parts cute and disturbing.

 

[Cheekypigs]

Good morning from the blond bombshells!

 

[weepweeps]

They are so sweet.

Does anyone else have pigs that are obsessed with blueberries? Ours are not that keen on fruit in general, but blueberries they LOVE.

Awwwww

 

[Bill & Ted]

yes mine love blueberries too. They had a little bit of melon this morning for breakfast as a special treat

I read somewhere that guinea pigs like roses, and we have a gorgeous thornless climbing rose that needs dead-headed. So I thought I would give it a try.


Fuzzable LOVES it. Popchop really doesn't know what to make of it. He can see Fuzzable is eating something and really enjoying it, so he keeps sticking his nose in Fuzzable's face like "give me some!" - he could get some himself easily, but he doesn't seem to have made the connection that the weird pink thing on the floor IS what Fuzzable is eating!

This evening's garden fun. Fuzzable on parade, the King of the Rug, mowing the lawn and the Piggy Train

 

[Cheekypigs]

My word, that's a very long guinea pig!

 

[Adelyn]

Wow, it is an undiscovered breed

Hiya cutieeeee

A moment after this photo was taken, Fuzzable turfed him out and went to sleep on it. Dominance = pillow rights

A nice lady came to the door today and brought Popchop and Fuzzable a new house!

It had some sort of human rubbish inside, but as soon as that was out, they set about making themselves at home.

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

Awww, that's a great new house.

Pigs enjoying the spoils of my auntie's allotment corn harvest!

We thought they didn't like corn husks and silks, but it turns out they just don't like the old dried out ones from the supermarket. Fresh home-grown ones are super popular.

What cuties they are! I love their names too!

 

[Cheekypigs]

They were posing like little models tonight!

 

[Cheekypigs]

What cuties they are! I love their names too!

Thank you! We found the names years ago in a blog post where someone generated guinea pig names for a rescue using AI. We said right there that those would be the names for our next pigs!

If we hadn't already decided that, I would have been tempted by the names suggested by the friends we got them from: Simba and Mufasa. That would have suited better than we could have predicted, as they were speckled when they were little, they only turned plain blonde when they grew up. Besides, the big lad with the fluffy mane is suspected to be the other one's dad as well as his brother (!) and he often strikes Pride Rock-style poses.

However, we are more than happy with the names they've got.
