http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/ A daily webcomic about our guinea pigs. en-us Guinea pigs usually like to run together in a line, but that rarely works out for Coco Bean and Grizzly. Grizzly is too fast and Bean can't keep up. And Bean pauses, which can cause Grizzly to rear-end him.Since the buffer will delay this year's Halloween storyline, why not enjoy one from a previous year? I'm not sure if Bean or Grizzly will dress up in the pirate costume this year, but they'll definitely watch a spooky movie with us.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1500 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Fri, 30 Oct 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1500 It can be dangerous and bad for a guinea pig's health to keep them in temperatures higher than 85 Fahrenheit. Fortunately it rarely gets that hot around here. Unfortunately, we don't have central air conditioning. So even though it's uncommon, when it does get hot there's not much we can do about it. We have a portable air conditioner that isn't powerful enough to effectively cool our house, but it sits right next to the cage and is just enough to keep them at a safe temperature. But when it was high 90's for a couple of weeks this year, I'm sure they weren't happy about it.If only they knew they're the coolest ones in the house. The rest of us humans just have to put up with the real heat.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1499 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1499 This was really surprising. Grizzly can actually walk on his hind legs! He only did it a few times, and only over short distances, but it's not something I've ever seen a guinea pig do before. It looks so surreal. Especially because he's so tall.Most pigs don't have the leg strength, let alone the balance, to even stand on their hind legs. But Grizzly is really motivated to beg us for treats!]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1498 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1498 Poor Grizzly. We can't keep up with his sticky fur around his grease gland, so he regularly bathes it himself. Even if it's already clean, he has the habit now and will bathe himself with the water bottle even though he doesn't need to.But he doesn't like to be caught by us. Sometimes if we see him doing it, he tries to play it off.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1497 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1497 It's not a beer or an infectious disease. Apparently that is actually the word for bottle cap collecting. Which might be a real hobby? I collected bottle caps briefly when I lived in Europe, since everything came in glass bottles, and everything except Coke and Pepsi was new to me. Even then, a Coke bottle cap from an obscure country could be pretty cool. I wonder what happened to my collection. I never had a Mickey Mantle Yoo Hoo cap, though.Hikaru dorodango would be perfect for the pigs. Finally a productive use for their dirt. Might be hard to do with paws, though.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1496 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1496
