#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap: Siver Streak and Avatar

Agent Venus passed the baton to Agent Silver Streak for the next leg of the 50 yard nap.

He then gave it to his sister, Agent Avatar. To whom will she give it for the 6th. leg? No, don't eat it, Agent Avatar - it has a long way to go yet.

From Team Piggyfriends.

Friday Video: the Dutch #Olympigs competition

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.

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

Friday Video: Pets 101

This week Animal Planet's 101 on Guinea Pigs


Allthough we like this video for it's high quality and cute actors, we'd like to mention that we don't agree with the advice to spay or neuter the pig. We only recommend that when you intend to house a male with a female(s) in one cage. And even then, we'd only recommend neutering the male, since operating on him is far less invasive compared to a female. Guinea pigs aren't like cats and dogs who can escape out of the house and meet a nice stray companion for the night.

So.. with that all said, have a nice Wheekend!!!

p.s. If there are other things that they didn't get quite right or you would like to elaborate on. Please write them down below in the comment section (because we do think are some other little things..).

Suus and Dunya's citytrip : The Hague - part 4

Hey Mister, can I sit on your lap?

Wow... the Queen sure has a big.. eh.. Palace... Look how tiny we are, standing in front of it. We should show this pigture to Princess Snowflake and Prince Teddy. Maybe their slaves can build something similar.

 In front of the palace, next to the statue of william the silent, the girls found some more plants.. 'This isn't tasty at all!! And I'm hungry again!!'

Hello Queen Wilhelmina, do you happen to know a place nearby where we can get some lunch? The nice queen directed them to a hofje (which is a Dutch word for a courtyard with almshouses around it)

 Mjwhwmmm... excellent salad bar!
And ow.. the scenery is nice too

 And then it was time to go home because the two little pigs were very tired.
While they sat in the tram on their way back home, they had big smiles on their faces.
'That sure was a great day, Suus!'
'Yes it was, Dunya'

The End

Mystery Agent G

Meet out latest Undercover Agent, he has chosen the name Agent G as in G force and because his real name starts with a G.

Agent G is the latest member (that we know of lol) of a mixed herd in Illinois, he is already a SCAMP (Senior Citizen Aging Miracle Pig) being 5 years old, he has recently found his new home where he will live out his days in peace and quiet, well apart from when he is busy doing his undercover work.

Clues to his real name - Its a German name meaning rule of the spear
It is very similar to the name of a famous French actor with a distinctive nose

Get Guessing.......

Suus and Dunya's citytrip : The Hague - part 3

'That sure was a nice snack' sighed Dunya. Lets take a rest at the Prison gate.

They walked further along the Court Pound.
The guy you see in the back is Johan van Oldenbarneveld.

'Who is he?'.. 'Jee, I don't know..'

Well okay, let's go to the Lange Voorhout square. It says in the tourist guide that there are a lot of trees on it.

Hmmmmm!! This silvery thing looks like it's edible!!!!

The silvery thing turned out to be an art piece and not that edible at all.

Here you can see Dunya posing in front of art that was a pile of grass (with a statue)

This cleary is an artist who appreciates the important things in life.

'Dunya! I'm getting tired! Aren't we finished yet?'

'No Suus, we haven't seen Queen's Beatrix's hutch yet. I've heard she lives here.'

Friday Video: I Geek Guinea Pigs

The Geek the Library campaign was made to let people know how important libraries are. In the campaign they have different humans telling about their (geeky?) hobbies and the role libraries play in it. This cute video features Butterscotch, a library pig, and one of her humans. The very cute girl Maddie.



Sigh.. did we mention our J is a librarian and that she went abroad for a week?  When she is away, she always manages to find guinea pigs.. I guess that we're doing the same ;-)

Have a nice wheekend!
