A Spectrum of Guinea Pigs!

So, this is a spectrum of some of the colors of guinea pigs: cream, saffron, buff, Pink Eye Gold, Dark Eye Gold, and red. They're all cute! Found at bivoir [Flickr]


"Is there any animal more pointless than a guinea pig?"

I don't know, what's the point of an animal? Any animal? Including humans.

Eat. Sleep. Reproduce. Rinse. Repeat.

There is no meaning to life that I know of (except this really basic survival instinct)

Guinea pigs are not pointless. They can be trained to be very nice pets for little ones. We have had 5 of them and have really enjoyed them. They all have personalities and can teach children responsibility.

If properly trained, they don't bite, they are not skittish like a hamster or gerbil can be. They can give "kisses", and will stay by you for hours on end.

They don't run away (even if out of the cage), and I trusted my small daughter to hold & play with ours without constant supervision. They are sturdier than a hamster, they can take more handling than the smaller rodents can.

Plus they eat all of your vegetable scraps, and if you use their waste in the yard, you have great fertilizer.

Any pet can bring you joy, it just depends on your likes & dislikes.

"what’s the point of an animal? Any animal? Including humans." Well, humans have points that are fun to touch.

I mean, with the consent of the human in question, of course.
