The Undercover Guinea Pigs Calendar 2013 is ready to be ordered!!

Hi piggy lovers,

I am proud to announce we have finished up the design of the Undercover Guinea pigs Calendar 2013!

A few points of attention:

• The calendar starts the week on mondays, not on sundays as some people are used to. I mailed the printer, but this cannot be changed. 
• This year I found out I can change the standard Dutch holiday names, so I will add all the holidays I have on another English calendar, and translate but leave some of the Dutch holidays in. 
• The Wall calendar sometimes has more than one pigture on the month, because that enabled us to also put lower resolution pigtures in the calendar. The desktop version has one pigture per month. 

Prices
12,50 euro (around 16 USD) for the desk calendar
15 - max 20 euros for the wall calendar (it actually costs almost 20 euros, but the company usually gives discounts)
plus postage and package (from the Netherlands, Europe or the USA for our friends there)

All people who ordered so far have received an email from Mieke, to check of their order is correct, and upcoming week payment requests will be sent using paypal.

Ordering the calendar
Have you not ordered the calendar yet? You still can! There is no set deadline for ordering the calendar, but do keep in mind it will take a few days to weeks for you to receive the calendar.You can choose a wall or desktop version, or buy both, and buy as many as you like.Order the calendar from the order calendar tab above, or visit our order form.

Support a guinea pig shelter
With buying this calendar you will not only get a Desk/wall calendar featuring some of our agents, but you will also support a Guinea pig shelter, which will be chosen through voting on the blog!

Nominate a shelter
You can still nominate a shelter, by commenting on this post, and do tell us why you think they deserve our donation!

Previews
Please notice that we have changed the first pigture to Fugly and his romaine hat!

Calendar 2013: Another Cute contest

Hi guys,

Again we received some pretty pigtures to use for the calendar, and we can't choose which one we like better!! So help is needed, which one do you like best, A or B?

For the month of March we have Diarmuid celebrating Saint Patrick's day (March 17) and Agent wizard celebrating Easter at the end of March

A. Diarmuid
(due to lower resolution Diarmuid, can only be combined with Gandalf on the wall calendar...)

B. Agent Wizard (Gandalf)

p.s. We could still use one or 2 more pigtures for the 2013 Calendar, so all you gorgeous Agents, put your slave to work!

Friday Video: two Hamsters

What happens when you give two hamsters just one wheel:


Have a nice Wheekend!

p.s. we recommend that you keep hamsters just by themselves (no matter what the pet shop says) they are not herd animals like us guinea pigs.

Introducing Agent Schilling!

Real Name?  Fergie
Secret Agent Name?  Agent Schilling.  My dad named me this after Curt Schilling, a famous baseball pitcher, because I am great at throwing things!  Mostly I just throw my poop over the edge of the cage to get my humans' attention, but sometimes I throw other things, too.  Piles of hay, pellets….my entire pellet bowl.  Throwing things is fun!
Where do you live?  I live in California with my 2 piggy slaves and 2 piggy sisters, Agent Peanut and Agent Kelly.  
Favourite Food?  I only eat healthy food – I can be kind of a snob.  I love my KMS pellets and fresh hay, along with various lettuce types.  But don't stick junk food in my face like apples or fruit – no way! 
Favourite Hobby?  I like to harass my sisters and throw poop.  Sometimes mom calls me an "angry little nugget" when I harass my sisters or give my slaves The Stink Eye. 
Favourite Toy?  Poop?  I sure do love to throw that stuff!  Mom says this is not a good habit for a princess like me to have, but I just can't help myself!

Introducing Agent Kelly!

Real Name?  Wendy
Secret Agent Name?  Agent Kelly, which is short for Machine Gun Kelly.  I LOVE to machine gun rumble around the cage and act angry!
Where do you live?  I live in California with 2 piggy slaves and my 2 piggy sisters, Agent Peanut and Agent Schilling. 
Favourite Food?  I like to eat lots of fresh hay and I sneak Oxbow vitamins as often as I can.  Crunchy food is the best, I don't really like soft stuff like red leaf lettuce. 
Favourite Hobby?  Rumbling!
Favourite Toy?  I love my hay tube.  I carry it around the cage and snuggle with it, and I even use it as a pillow.   Fresh hay tubes are the best. 

Introducing Agent Peanut!

Real Name?  Jaina (pronounced Jay-nuh; I am named after a beautiful princess in World of Warcraft!)
Secret Agent Name?  Agent Peanut, thanks to my colors and how cute and little I am….er, was, once upon a time, before all this extra chub showed up!
Where do you live?  I live with 2 piggy slaves and 2 piggy sisters (Agent Schilling and Agent Kelly) in California. 
Favourite Food?  What food isn't good food?!  I love pellets, fresh hay, lettuce, carrots, and especially fresh peppers from the garden.  I will eat anything…I especially love when my mom lets me sneak a piece of apple or lets me lick banana off her fingers – YUM!
Favourite Hobby?  Sleeping and looking cute. 
Favourite Toy?  My cuddle cups.  They are comfy to sleep in, and fun to hide under!

More pigtures needed!

Hi all,

As you probably know we are working on compiling a calendar of some of our agent piggies, which we will be selling. The small profit we will make with this, will be donated to a guinea pig shelter somewhere in the world ;)

So far we got one nomination for a Guinea pig shelter:
- Wind Whistle Warren in Gloucestershire, UK (nominated by Elizabeth)
Of course we wouldn't mind more nominees, so send in the shelter names you think we should donate to

The Calendar is half filled, 6 months covered, 6 more to go, so we need more pigtures, and we are sure you all have some gorgeous piggies that would love to make the calendar at home!

As I know not all of you have cameras that take pigtures that are of a high resolution, and got some lower resolution pigtures send in, I decided to allow two lower quality pigtures for the wall calendar. I think it would be a shame if we cannot let everyone enter, due to low resolution pigtures the printer wont accept! So be informed that in the wall calendar you might find 2 pigtures on one month.
The desk calendar is smaller and this usually fits one lower res pigture, plus it's too small to show two pigtures on one month, so on that one you will see only one pigture per month.

Here are the entries so far:

I have mailed all the people that ordered a calendar so far, if you have ordered but did not get an email, let me know!

Friday Video: How to make an apple pie

Since it is getting colder outside, something warm out of the oven would be really nice. The Gekke Flappies sent us this video on how to make an apple pie. Yum!



Have a nice Wheekend!!

p.s. the Burrow Bunch has made lots of video's starring Petal and Roket. We really like the cute sets and the clever way they are making pigs 'do' stuff. Make sure you check them out on their website or their Youtube channel

Happy Peegsgiving!

Birthday pig & Make your own paper guinea pig

 Hi all,

Today Agent Tortoise celebrates her first birthday!

Roos as a baby

Roos, last April, she's the second heaviest now!

She wants to have a small (virtual) party, and as she is only one year old, we found this fun thing to do together with your slave!

Our friend Dobby the Capybara posted this on twitter.
We haven't tried it out yet, but it looks interesting!

Lazy Sunday

We were hanging out on the couch this sunday afternoon and pigtures were taken..

Sjeuf loves laptime

Pretty Bo

P.s. Bo has cateracts in both her eyes. That is why they are blue. She is a bit young to get these, but otherwise fine

Cute Contest: Bond Girls

As you all know, we are busy collecting pigtures for our calendar. And we need your opinion. The Cali Cavy Collective has graciously consented to let use use one of their pigtures and now we're in trouble because they are all so cute. So we decided to settle this with a cute contest.

We have currently narrowed our selection down to these two pigtures. (check out the original blogpost to see more of these cute bond girls)

Pigture A: Poof

Pigture B: Abby-Roo

Which pigture would you like to see on the calendar?
