Friday Video: the Dutch #Olympigs competition

See this Dutch pig take a 10cm hurdle twice in only 45 seconds!



Have a nice Wheekend!

p.s. Have you seen Agent Hamster and Halloween starting the 50 yard nap? We need more pigs to do more yards! So please send us your pigtures.

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap: Halloween

Here is our entry for the second yard.

This is our dear Halloween. He says that he is far too old to be an Agent but could we enter him in the veterans class? He is napping indoors but he is in a pen that is a yard square so we hope that this will count.

From the Piggyfriend Agents.

#Olympigs Eating the Green Spaghetti

Stupid puters grrrr

Friday Video: The German #Olympigs Meerschweinchen

In the spirit of the #Olympigs, this week some footage from German television. The reporter wants to know how fast guinea pigs really are. Cassie shows the camera man (2:06 min into the video) that she can run 4 to 6 meters per second. In human time this is 21 km in an hour (or 13 miles).

Mister Usain Bolt runs 200 meters in 19.32 seconds. So he still is faster than us pigs; the same distance would take a fast piggy about 33 seconds (if he or she has the stamina, we are better suited for the 200 cm sprint)


Have a nice Wheekend!

10 reasons why you should own a human

One of our friends sent us a slideshow with 7 reasons why a human should get a guinea pig. Well.. that's all good fun for the humans, but we'd rather make a list of why we should own a human (don't tell the humans, but you all know we rule the world, right?)

1. Full body massages*
Need I say more? Best thing about being a guinea pig. Period.

2. The sipping of the tea
We actually don't know why, but we find it oddly comforting when J stares into space and makes those tiny slurpy noises

3. You can dress them up as a haystack
Yes! You can leave hay all over them, just in case you get hungry during your full body massage. Extra points if they have pockets to hide your poo

4. They make good sofa's
Humans are snuggly and warm. We love resting our head underneath a big chin. It feels so safe.

5. Tasty
Humans can be rather tasty. Try licking their skin, but watch out for the ones with the lotion

6. They are cheaper than a walkin' fridge
We're also not sure if they are actually invented yet, even though the commercial suggests otherwise


7. They don't make fun of your poo collection
They just throw it out every week *humpf*

8. You always feel smart around them
Ghe..

9. They're low maintenance pets
Really, they clean and feed themselves. You just need to talk to them and make them feel welcome when they get home

10. They can be very entertaining
Ours does bellydancing. It's hilarious, like our rumblestrutting, but less advanced. But it just fills our hearts to see the poor soul have so much fun

So.. how does your human entertain you? And do you have tips to help us get more out of our humans?

* hattip for @LilPecan for bringing this to our attention

#Olympigs news: Olympic guinea pig?

We just received a forward of the message below from one of our special agents:

 'Ahoy! Is there a representative of the Undercover Pigs about? We are hearing reports of an agent on the streets of London, having a very close call. Thank goodness another agent, disguised as a Bobby, was able to intervene! What have your heard there on the streets?'

Our entry in the Olympigs Bar Biting Challange

Not many of us Piggyfriends are into Bar Biting but here is our Agent Minty having a go. Our Rafferty enjoys a good rattle of the wire but he always chooses the area that separates his home from a pen of sows and Slave cannot get a good front view of him. There may yet be time for a late entry.

Agent Shyness is in a new territory!

Agent Shyness : where are we Mom?
Mom(human): we are in my room.
Agent Shyness : ok.Why are we here?
Mom: so we can have fun.

During this,Mo,aka Agent Pellets, was sleeping.

#Olympigs Bar Biting Challenge

Agent The Saint



Misfit Alice, sadly little Alice crossed the rainbow bridge shortly after this pigture was taken, so in honour of her short life we think Alice deserves Gold in the Bar Biting Challenge



Agent Tiny


New Agent Gazer, Agent Gazer is part of a mixed herd living in Illinois his real name is the same as a famous British comedian with the surname Hill.




New Agent The Thinker, The Thinker is boy piggy living as part of a mixed herd in Illinois, his real name is the same as that of a famous philosopher hence his agent name.

Now over to you, guess who the new agents are, and send us your bar biting pigtures!!

Agent Pellets and Agent Shyness are back to bedding!

Hello,this is Agent Pellets,aka Mo,.We recently swapped to fleece and back to bedding! Guess why!

Agents Oriole and Mockingbird

Hello! I am Agent Oriole, the leader pig in my herd of 4. I am agent Oriole because I am the same colors as the Orioles baseball team.

My sister Agent Mockingbird and I live with our 2 other sisters in a big cage that our slave built just for us! After reading your blog, we have decided to report our findings to everypig *popcorn*

A hint for my true identity is I am named for a Norse god who is a shapeshifter. Agent Mockingbird is named after a character in To Kill a Mockingbird, or at least that is what I have heard our slaves say.

That's all for now! Slave is heading for the fridge!
