http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/ A daily webcomic about our guinea pigs. en-us Whenever Indiana Jones or Lara Croft moves some lever or puts a stone key into a stone slot and things start to move, don't you ever wonder what the activating mechanism and power source could possibly be on these ancient devices? Apparently this didn't bother Grizzly when he was putting a plastic lid on a plastic board game expecting a result.It was an interesting discovery by him, though. He'd already retrieved the treat under the lid, but hadn't figured out how to get the one in the sliding compartment. But he managed to get the lid fitted perfectly in there. Which turned out not to help.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1459 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1459 This was an unfortunate mishap. We have to break the baby carrots into pieces to fit in board game, and a bunch of them spilled on the ground right when Grizzly was about to solve his first puzzle. That definitely drew his attention.We took them away as fast as we could, but we had to let him have one so he wouldn't get mad, and by the time he was finished with it he was less motivated by the others.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1458 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1458 Potato was a smarty pants and was really good at his board game. So once we realized that Grizzly was a clever pig, we were excited to see how well he did too.Unfortunately we found he's too excitable and easily distracted to concentrate on it. He seemed happy about it, though.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1457 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1457 We don't keep the plushy stump in the cage all the time. It has to be taken out and cleaned regularly. But when it's in there, it can be hard to get Bean out of it at medicine time.It's easy to grab him, but since guinea pigs need to be lifted with two hands to avoid hurting their backs, it doesn't leave a hand free to peel it off of him.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1456 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1456 This was another one Grizzly figured out when he was experimenting with the hay rack. They don't like to leave it hanging upright on the side of the cage like it's supposed to be, but somehow he managed to hook it sticking out from the wall. Not sure how he did that just by nudging it around, but he did it more than once. That's how we found out he's an inventive pig.I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish. Maybe he just wanted to impress Bean.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1455 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1455
