Things I wish people knew 🙄

[PiggyintheMiddle]

... guinea pig perspectives only!

I wish people knew that we expect food if you walk in. No silly cooing, we don't want that. Hay all day is boring.

I wish people knew health checks were scary!

I wish people knew I want a whole apple or banana. Not a teeny tiny piece of yours.

I wish my cage mate would stop stealing my favourite bed!

 

[fluffysal]

I wish people knew that pee smelling beds are lovely and don't need to be washed!

 

[Merab]

I wish people knew that any veg that isn’t very, very fresh is theirs as we expect only the freshest

Middle slave came in at 3pm. We're usually given peace and quiet during the day, but it feels wrong to them. So she said hello. I (Ophelia) watched her, but I didn't come out because she was all talk and no food. We eventually came out after she persisted but it took desperate begging before she finally gave us three nuggets each and ran away so as not to have to refuse our innocent begs.

They are for me too. I can sympathise.

We wish our human knew that a stupid little imitation Christmas Tree which the packaging said is "Delicious, fun to gnaw and rich in grasses and veggies" is NOT a suitable Christmas present. We don't like it and so we've been ignoring it. Hopefully she'll take it away soon.

I wish humans knew that when I've tipped the carrot cottage upside down to pee and poop in it that was not a mistake I meant to do that please don't put it back

 

[A Guinea Pig]

I wish that my slave understood when I stick my head in the pea flake container or cup of veggies and knock it over, that's so that I can eat the pile off the ground at my convenience! Please do not pick them up from the group and put them back in the container (doesn't matter to me if it's tidy or not)!

We have done that a few times, especially with an entire box of nuggets. I put my paw down firmly on purpose.

 

[PiggyintheMiddle]

We. Do. Not. Like. Being. Picked. Up.
What's the point in putting us in a bowl and then taking us out again? Not really very dignified...

I wish our slave kept to proper times for nuggets , grass and veggies …..sometimes she’s 10 minutes late and once was 30 minutes late …..the cheek of it

Exactly! In fairness to ours, she's sometimes early too, though.

I wish our Slave knew that we like to eat wee flavoured hay as it makes a nice change from the fresh stuff all the time. We like it with a bit of seasoning.

Bianca went into and ate from the scoop of dirty hay yesterday when mini-slave was cleaning out.

That’s like a waiter taking your plate before you’ve finished

I am not being dramatic. The nail clippers WILL eat me! >:c

Human speaking here (this looks so silly to say this ). I always hated having my nails cut too, so I completely empathise with every reaction the piggies have. And hair brushing. Fortunately our two don’t have long fur that needs brushing.

So you sit on it to stop them

We will scream dramatically so the whole neighbourhood knows we are being attacked if you so much as come near us with the grooming scissors

Definitely right the carrot cottage is our worst nightmare!
When we gave it to our guinea pigs they wouldn’t stop eating it and when we were asleep that is all we could hear!

We wish humans knew we don't like tidy cages with our boxes, hideys and pee pads straight against the sides of the cage, neatly arranged. We want everything on slants and angles and piled in the middle of the cage. We spend hours putting everything as we like it and daft humans come along and straighten it all out again!
