(I might have posted this video once before. But it’s a nice video, don’t you think?)
I’ve never had a guinea pig. Is it a usual thing for them to make friends with dogs or cats? Maybe one of you knows.

Cuddly Guinea Pigs
We think of cats and dogs for cuddling, but look how well these guinea pigs can do it. (NOTE: Keep them away from water beds. Trust me on this.) Mice, too. Mammals have a gift for cuddling.
The Charge of the Guinea Pigs
Somebody has a lot of guinea pigs, don’t they? See how briskly they charge the camera. We are not told why they charge the camera. If they filmed this in Africa it’d be scary: charging lions, elephants, rhinos. Here we’ve only got guinea pigs.
Guinea Pigs Forever
If you learn nothing else from this video, learn this: do not let your guinea pig run full-tilt, head-first, into a bag full of popcorn. Trust me on this one. You don’t want to clean up that big a mess… plus your popcorn goes to waste.
Excited Guinea Pig
I can’t read guinea pig body language, so I have no idea what’s going on here. Something about the jingly ball is setting him off. But why does he stay on the blanket? Why doesn’t he go get the ball after it rolls away? Dagnabbit, where’s the Science when you need it!
Bonus Video: Guinea Pig Zoomies
In our ongoing study of mammal behavior, we are focusing on zoomies and working our way up from mice and hamsters to grizzly bears. These guinea pigs are somewhere in between. We haven’t heard, for a while, from the guy we sent out to film the grizzly bear zoomies.
If You Like Guinea Pigs…
Here’s someone who really likes guinea pigs! They’ve got about a zillion of them–keep ’em in the barn overnight, let ’em out in the morning to graze. (Did he say “graze”? I didn’t know they grazed.) Chickens are on hand as, I guess, role models.
Bonus Critter Video: Guinea Pig Drive
What if Rawhide had been about herding guinea pigs instead of cattle? I guess the guys couldn’t’ve called themselves cowboys. They’d have to be pigboys.
For those of you who missed the Bronze Age, Rawhide was about cowboys herding cattle across the western plains, and all the adventures they had incidental to their dull and grueling job. Even a run-in with Druids!
Anyhow, here are guinea pigs chasing a human and then running past him–he’s gonna need a lasso. Maybe there are Druids in the house. That would explain it.
Guinea Pig Stampede
This is the critter video I would’ve posted for you yesterday if I hadn’t had to go back to bed in the middle of the afternoon.
I’ve never had a guinea pig, but they do seem loveable. This reminds me of that old stock footage of stampeding cattle which has illuminated hundreds of TV and movie Westerns. They didn’t have guinea pig drives back then, did they?
Cat & Guinea Pigs: Nap? What Nap?
My allergies are absolutely killing me today, I don’t know how I got anything done at all, and this is one of my favorite videos, so enjoy it.
The cat wants a nap. The guinea pigs want to play. There is no meeting of the minds.
