http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/ A daily webcomic about our guinea pigs. en-us They don't really need a tent, since they're indoors anyway. But guinea pigs don't like high ceilings. Natural fear of birds. Using a tent might be cheating, since sleeping outside the pigloo is the only thing that even makes it camping. But at least they had to build their own shelter.I'm not so sure about the campfire, though. I don't think it would be safe to light their own hay on fire.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1505 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Fri, 06 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1505 In this case, the "back" country is actually the front of the cage. That's where we keep the water, hay racks, and pellet bowls. The pigloos, and therefore the sleeping areas, are in the back half of the cage. So sleeping out front really is a bit of an adventure for the pigs. No cover, just out in the elements.That said, it's not really much of a hike. But Beanie's not really into hiking anyway.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1504 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Thu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1504 I'm not sure how Grizzly would have heard about camping, but it seems like the kind of adventurous thing he would enjoy. And it's nice to have a break from school.Although I don't think he's going to be able to carry as much water in that backpack as he thinks he is.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1503 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Wed, 04 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1503 As we all know, the pigs can hover when they use their feet to groom or scratch themselves. Their feet don't touch the ground, but somehow magically they remain standing. It turns out this works best on flat ground. Grizzly tried to use his hind leg to scratch himself on the ramp and ended up tumbling backwards.He didn't do a complete summersault, but it was close enough that it was funny to watch. Also funny when he noticed I was watching and tried to play it off.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1502 Fuzzy@guineanfuzzy.com Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1502 When I sweep the pig blanket, I pick up one side and then the other, so all of the hay and debris falls in a line in the middle. Then I sweep that line into my dustpan to remove it from the cage. Grizzly likes to hop around me while I clean, but if the wall of hay is still there it completely confounds him until I sweep part of it away and let him pass.Ironic, considering he's fit enough to leap over an entire hay rack, so a low pile shouldn't provide any obstacle for him.]]> http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1501 Guinea@guineanfuzzy.com Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.guineanfuzzy.com/index.php?id=1501
