I picked this because Slave enjoyed the film of that name ( and there is a link between it and my real name ). They wouldn't let guinea pigs into the cinema so we will have to wait until it comes on the television.
My favourite food is fresh grass with cucumber a close second.
I love playing with the girls in my group.
I am a nurse piggy when we have virtual adventures
Agent Avatar is a female piggy living in a mixed herd in the UK her real name is the same as a very famous box in Greek mythology and also the planet in a recent 3D film she has given you that clue already in her choice of agent name.
Miss Yaya here, aka the Guinean Queen, aka Agent Piggy Galore. Apples are absolutely AWSOME!! I love Apples soooo much! No other veggie tastes as great as an Apple; that perfect balance between sweet and sour.. ow and don't get me started om the crunchyness or the different textures while you chew through an Apple *swoon*. I do not know what I like more, the skin with it's sour aftertaste, the flesh or the crunchy bits of the core. But anyhew... I LOOOOVEE APPLES!!!
*hemhem*
Apple dearest...
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade*,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
*that is.. until I devourst thy
Slave tends to forget I like apples, she buys them far too little and when she does, she often forgets to feed them to me. She sits on the couch and chews happily away. Whenever that happens I wheek up a storm and make her feel VERY guilty (well, she should anyway... The ladybug-Apple in the pigture is Slave+Apple+Guilttrip ;-) )
Lots of Wheeks! And may ye have bountiful of apples (or something like that anyways.. ;-) )
Sorry, It's no longer possible to vote ---- Hi all,
On twitter we follow Puppy the Guinea pig. He is a special pig who is the CEO of Puppy love jewelry, and also has a webcam channel like us... He also has his own harem of sows as he's an international superstar... the PIHAS: Puppy's International Harem of Attractive Sows. Every year his slave, who makes the jewelry, will hold the Christmas Mouse competition. As our slaves always called us Mice, inspired on how our aunts Guiny and Lotje looked when they were still pups, we like this christmas mouse competition! Slave says the pigtures are adorable. See them and vote for your favorite here
Slave took some pigtures at the weekend of those of us who had grown since the last photoshoot. She said that these were the last days of summer and she wanted to take outdoor pigtures so that our eyes did not look red with the camera flash.
Silly Slave. Elliot has red eyes anyway.
She used pieces of apple and cucumber to bribe the subjects to sit still on a garden chair and had her son nearby in case any of us made a bid for freedom.
Here is my best friend Elliot with his apple. He cleared it up as soon as the pigtures had been taken.
We have a friend on twitter it's the biggest rodent we know!
He is a capybara, and he agreed to answer some of our questions.
So what do you want to know about Capabara's?
Post your questions here, we will ask him on twitter, so please make you messages no longer than 140 characters... So we can easily tweet your questions to him.
You can follow him on twitter, read his website Giant Hamster
and there even is a Capybara soft cuddly toy and a book for sale!
He's also onFacebook as Caplin Rous and his FB fan page is Caplin Rous, the World's Most Famous Capybara!
The pigture above is Caplin Rous (=rodent of unusual size) relaxing,
see how he puts his paws in front of himself too!
so it's not just a guinea pig thing, maybe all rodents do it?

Agent Silver Streak reporting on a Guinea Pig Health Issue.
If you look at my pigture, you will see that the lower part of my eyelid looks strange. This is a condition called Fatty Eye and I believe that in the US they call it Pea Eye as well. It is not caused by me being a fat piggy as I am one of the smallest of the boars at Piggyfriends. I run around a lot and am definitely not fat.
It is just a bulge in the lower eye muscle and is nothing for Slaves to worry themselves about. It doesn't bother me one bit but our Rodentologists have said that surgery is possible if it affects the vision.
I have read that this may be hereditary but my mother and siblings do not have it so that may not be true.
For those of you waiting to find out Agent Silver Streak is also known as Dorian Piggyfriend
It's time for another veggie, this is not our favorite but it's okay, Here our slave buys the variant that has slender carrots and with the green tops still on. Some supermarkets have a trashcan next tot the carrots so you can throw away the tops before you leave the store! Why would you do that? All these lovely lush green tops, what a waste! Here you see us enjoying some carrot tops, Yum!
Btw, we even read on a website (see below) that you humans can eat the carrot tops, Well don't get any ideas (the website has recipes) and just keep those tops coming towards us!
Here's a pigture of our Daisy eating a carrot, She shows the version where you keep your (little) paw on top of the carrot for eating comfort, and it helps to keep your carrot safe from veggie snatchers... The nutritional value of the carrot according to guinealynx is:
Guinea Lynx' VEGETABLE CHART 100 gram Percent Energy Protein Ascorbic Calcium Phosph. Ca:P portions Water (Kcal) (g) Acid(C) (mg) (mg) Ratio Carrots, Baby 89.81 38 0.84 8.4 23 38 0.6:1 Carrots 87.79 43 1.03 9.3 27 44 0.6:1 Source Also we must mention Carrots are pretty high in sugar, It's okay for healthy piggies we guess, but if you have diabetes as a piggy, this veggie should be avoided.... Did you know England has an actual Carrot museum!! It says on their website that the Dutch have bred the carrot to become orange "A tale, probably apocryphal, has it that the orange carrot was bred in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century to honour William of Orange." More on their website: http://www.carrotmuseum.co.uk/
Well, Do show or tell us what kind of carrots you eat!
