Guinea Pig Bottoms: Pepper and Jimmy

Pepper and Jimmy (aka agent Zeppelin) also joined in with some pigtures of their bottoms!

In case you're wondering, you're looking at Jimmy's bottom

Cute paws

Isn't he lovely?

Pepper

Pepper same some lumps surgically removed a while ago, that is why she has such an original hairstyle. We are happy to report that Pepper is doing great and that she is as feisty as ever.

Thank you Pepper and Jimmy!

Hamuketsu and Guinea Pig Bottoms

Japan has a new trend; hamster bottoms! What could be cuter than hamster bottoms? Well.. guinea pig bottoms, obviously

Ties and his crazy hair

Bo has a heart shaped bottom

Coco showing off her new haircut

And from our archives, our favorite bottom pigture

So, what do you think? Cuter than the hamsters?

Taking pictures

I guess all of you have tried to take pigtures of their piggies doing cute things... (Or am I the only crazy lady who does that?!?)
As most of you know Bérke is a new addition to our herd. He is about Roos her age and they seem to get along pretty well. They both love to do zoomies around the cage when new fresh hay is on the way. And Roos loves climbing on things, and I think she taught Bérke how to do this.

So there I was looking at the cage and I saw that Bérke was on the doll bed they have for the first time (to my knowledge). So obviously I wanted to take a pigture of him up there. This is what I got...

... an empty bed, Bérke had just jumped of the bed

It's too bad there is not a little leg still visible of him scurrying out of view. But later that evening, when it was getting darking, so unfortunately the quality is not that good, I found Bérke on the bed again...

 

ah, he likes to munch the hay up there

And I even got a pigture of him on the bed through the side, which is quite exceptional, as usually he runs away when I try to take pigtures of him. He can be scared quite easily and is also a master of making noise! At first we thought it was the girls showing their discomfort to Bérke chasing them all the time. But no, guess again, it is Bérke making all that noise.

 

Posing like a pro...

Do your pigs like to pose or do they run from the camera as well?

Friday Video: the Boy Bits

After our informative series of video's about hair styling, we've selected a few video's about keeping your bottoms clean.

short video


Long video


We cannot get Swarfega in the Netherlands. There probably is something similar on the market, but for us the dishwashing soap works well enough. We also really like the idea of distracting us with veggies (short video). Other than that, our procedure is more similar to the long video. So there you have it ;-)

If you like the Gorgeous Guinea Products, you can visit their site here: www.gorgeousguineas.com

We also found a video on anal sack cleaning for boars

So there you have it.

Have a nice Wheekend!

*evil grin* Sorry, boys. We do apologize ;-)

Friday Video: Trimming Long Haired Guinea Pigs

There are several ways to cut a long haired guinea pigs' hair. So we've selected several video's that use different techniques.

Trimming with scissors


Trimming with scissors and a comb


Electric clippers


Trimming a guinea pig is not easy. As you can see, there are several ways to do it and we selected these video's because they all had parts that we liked. Even the squirmy pig in video 2, because that's what happens sometimes, especially with some pigs (we are not naming anyone, but you know who you are!)

Our hair stylist told us that she had to use different techniques for every pig that she styled. Jan the Boar really enjoyed his electric clippers. To him, it was just a slightly noisy massage. With Sjeuf, the stylist had to hold her fingers between his skin and the scissors (kinda like video 2, but without the comb) to fool him into being petted instead of getting a haircut (boy was he surprised). Coco is the favorite pig when it comes to hair styling; once she has a big pile of veggies, the hair stylist can do whatever she pleases, just as long as she ends up looking fashionable.

May Queen

The first Monday in May is a holiday in England and is called May Day.

 

Years ago, people would gather May blossoms and a May Queen would be chosen from each village. Children would dance around a Maypole - a tall pole festooned with ribbons. No doubt festivies ensued which would have included a lot of fun and drinking. Now it is just a day off work.

 

Our May Queen is Agent Firenze aka Florence.

 

She was chosen as she was guaranteed to sit still for a photo but Slave did not expect her to gorge herself on May leaves instead of facing the camera!  Don't worry readers, May is safe to eat. When Slave was a little girl, she and her friends used to eat May leaves and called it the bread and cheese tree. She tried some just now and thinks that tastes change with age as she could not pick out the flavour that she remembers from her youth.

 

May is also caled Hawthorn.

 

Happy May Day from the Piggyfriends.
