He likes the rind more than the flesh. Excellent. #guineapigs
He’s like a little stuffed animal during nail trims, even though he’s usually running all over the room and wheeking🤤 #guineapigs
I wonder if he can tell my voice apart from other people's.. Research suggests #guineapigs can distinguish human voices from other sounds and even recognize their own pups' voices. From what I've observed, he also seems able to recognize individual people by smell.
From yesterday's walk: I didn't know pill bugs have different patterns depending on whether they're male or female! #snails, #roly-poly
He sometimes gives me gentle nibbles while looking quite content. I wonder if that means he's accepted me as a guinea pig ☺️ #guineapigs
I looked away for a moment, and he stole it from the salad bowl 😂 #guineapigs
He’s been drinking a lot more water lately—around two to four times his usual amount. Otherwise, he seems perfectly normal. Maybe it’s the humid weather, or maybe it’s the new water bottle 🐹 #guineapigs
A day spent finding all kinds of birds, reptiles, and insects outside of zoos 🐢🦎🪿🐜🦋
BirdNET says there are Egyptian Geese, Little Egrets, and Wood Storks around here, but I bet there are many more 🦆🐦⬛🪿
This came out of a bag of timothy hay 😨He probably wouldn’t eat it, but it’s a good reminder to check carefully when refilling hay. #guineapigs
From today’s commute. Orthetrum albistylum? I wonder why they spend so much time on the ground..
The little insect following behind it isn’t another Ricania shantungensis nymph, is it? The one in front is a first-instar nymph, right?
I wonder if their tails really needed to disappear. They hold food with their paws, stand on their hind legs, and even enjoy walking around the room. #guineapigs
I pulled my first SAR! Apparently they’re about one in every five boxes. And I got lots of Slowpoke too 🦛 #Pokémon
The barometric pressure has been all over the place because of the typhoon, but his digestion seems fine so far. I wonder if guinea pigs get headaches. Mine certainly does when the pressure changes 😅 #guineapigs
