Guinea Pig Armor

Those of you who keep up with guinea pig news probably heard about this already, but we wanted to share this in case anyone missed it. Someone had a really cool fundraising auction on behalf of the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue, our local guinea pig rescue, where they sold a handmade suit of guinea pig armor!

That piggy looks safe. I'd probably still run and hide from unexpected noises, even with armor, though!
If the winning bidder on this armor happens to be a reader, feel free to send us the armor and we'll be happy to do a product review of it. :-)

  1. Guinea Pigs shouldn't be dressed up! Why do they even need costumes, they are perfect the way they look!

    1. I agree that we are perfect just the way we are. :) However, it's hard to win a costume contest without a costume.

      Come to think of it, the costumes were uncomfortable and we kept trying to take them off. Maybe we don't want to wear armor after all!

  2. Yes we have seen this several times! Although I don't think we'd want to wear it...

    1. It would protect you from all the scary things out there that make us run for cover in a pigloo. On the other hand, it would probably slow you down when running to the pigloo!

  3. Wow! I've never heard of making costumes for guinea pigs. I doubt if the guinea pigs would enjoy it.

    1. Winning second place in the costume contest was great. Wearing the costume wasn't.

    2. Pigs wearing costumes should be listed under animal cruelty clauses.
