Guinea Pigs R Fun !

Our Motto:

"We never met a cavy we didn't love!"

Welcome to our relocated  Guinea Pig site!  Previously, we were a WebTV site, 1999-2013.  (Unfortunately, Microsoft permanently closed down all service for WebTV/MSNTV on Oct. 1, 2013.)

 

Guinea Pigs R Fun celebrates the fun of cavy ownership and encourages adopting GPs in need!  We are not breeders - almost all the GPs on this non-profit site were adopted from the Humane Society.

Yay, Jeepers!! 🙂

Jeepers' 7th Birthday!

Jeepers & look-a-like pal!

Jeepers loved shredded carrots!

A fave treat! Jeepers happily enjoyed fresh spinach!

Jeepers loved playing with bathroom paper rolls - and making himself into a "mummy"; here, he is showing off his newly-trimmed incisors (he had almost monthly teeth trimming for well over 3 years).

Jeepers kisses a plush sparrow!

Carrot-stained Alvin (fave food: celery leaves!)

Simon, our baby panda (fave food: everything!) 

Shy Alvin

(When Alvin was younger, he would hide in his house from the camera; here, he is peeking to see if the coast is clear!)

 Lap time was sleepy time for Simon!

Alvin loved shaking this bell at us (to get our attention) when he wanted celery leaves!

Simon's daily "chore": Moving his toys from his "toy corner" into his pellet bowl! Sometimes, there were even more toys ingeniously stacked up/balanced than in this photo! (He also moved his house as close as he could to his bowl/water!)

Christmas Morning 2013: After a treat and a back rub, Alvin looks relaxed, cozy and blissfully happy! 🙂

Simon wanted to look more like his famous singing chipmunk namesake!
