fucking hate guinea pigs. all they ever do is wheek whenever you rattle a plastic bag but they never show any kind of affection, let alone acknowledge your existence.
there's a reason cats, dogs and fish are the most popular pets in the world. dogs are high maintenance but they're also loyal and will devote their entire lives to loving you. fish aren't anywhere near as affectionate but require almost no maintenance at all, to the point where they're basically living decoration. cats are a nice middle-ground; they can be affectionate when they feel like it and are generally self-sufficient.
but guinea pigs
guinea pigs are messy as hell, which is weird considering the fact that they live in a cage. they fling their shit and bedding all over the place until your living space looks like a barn. they shit and piss wherever they stand with zero warning, so you can't hold them for more than 5 minutes without getting shat on or pissed on. they're insanely high maintenance for a cage pet and will begin to try to kill each other the very second they run out of hay. not only that, but they'll die if they spend too much time alone and they do NOT show ANY affection toward their owners at all. I could be gone for 6 months and when I come back, I doubt they would have even noticed as long as they were taken care of. the ONLY advantage is that they're cute.
fuck guinea pigs. fuck them.
Those animals look like they have down syndrome

guinea pigs are some of the dumbest fucking animals
they cannot recognize words like their own names or whatever you use to tell them "food." they have no facial expressions and they just kind of stand there with a stupid fucking gormless look on their fat little faces. they just give you no feedback at all as pets. fuck guinea pigs indeed.

>he didn't get a mouse
Mice are bro-teir. Their just as messy but less of a douchbag towards their owners.
Where does the ham fit in all this?
DOG IS PATRICIAN PET

One on the right looks like he sees everything and nothing at the same time
1/10 would not watch in the cages at petsmart for more than a few minutes
guinea pigs are excellent to cut into pieces
mice as well

all to fry up and feed to a dog

mice
- get lost easily
- bite frequently (guinea pigs do not bite at all)
- are mischievous
- do not live long lives
- are literally vermin
>>36725719
Hamsters are alright. The hamster ball is really cool. 6/10 pet
>>36725730
dogs are overrated. 8/10, but not 10/10.

Can you post pictures of said guinea pigs?
>>36725923
I can't be bothered to go outside, it's raining and my head hurts.
Buttons is grey, Icy is black with some white, Toffee is light, grey-ish brown, Snowflake is all white with red eyes, Caramel and Truffels are black with tan around the face, pretty much twins.

TIME TO CALL THE EXTERMINATOR
fuck you m8 guinea pigs are great
Is anyone else really scared of all animals? Looking at an animals eyes just freaks me out so bad. Like what are they? Why don't they talk? What are they thinking?
>>36727329
Nope. The only animals I'm afraid of are the ones that are logical to be afraid of. Big cats, bears, sharks, etc.
With pets, you pretty much know what they're thinking. It's a speechless bond. You can read each other's minds.
I miss my guinea pigs. I've always wanted a rabbit but I hear they're actually a handful.
>>36727672
Rabbits are literally guinea pigs with long ears that bite.
>>36725550
>never show affection
they constantly purr and snuggle me, what are you talking about.
They're retards, but what do you expect from tiny herbivorous prey animals. They're basically friendly, furry potatoes. Get a rat if you want a smart rodent that will remember its own name etc.
>>36728064
>they constantly purr and snuggle me
WHAT THE FUCK MINE DON'T DO THAT
I HAVE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE. THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING LIKE KINGS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM PURR OR SNUGGLE FUCKING ONCE. THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT.
>>36725835
Rats never bite and act like tiny dogs with hands. Rats are a good pet.
>>36728317
To bad their life spans are so short
F-for years... I've been waiting for years for someone to hate guinea pigs as much as I do....
I had to take care of my friend's guinea pigs one summer. They were both sisters so it belonged to both of them fyi.
I have never, as a 10 year old child, lost that much sleep. Not even when my sister would have her night terrors. They bit, they shat, they smelled, and that made that CONSTANT FUCKING WEIRD NOISE from sundown to sunup.
The idea of eating them the way some people do in South America still appeals to me, just to know that one died at my hand and was turned to shit. A fitting end for a shit-tier animal.
It's been a little over nine years since, and to this day, no one has shared my pathological hate of these spawn of satan until today.
I... appreciate you, OP. Thank you.
