Sick pets - Seven months ago a friend of mine brought my kid a pet, a guinea pig. I knew little about the furry rodent, said thanks, and gave my 8 year old the responsibility of caring for guinea pig.

That did not work out well. Within a few days of having her furriness in custody, he stepped on her once, and got her head trapped in a hole for 12 hours almost killing her. What he did was leave her food on the other side of a small round hole on the side of her cage. What the guinea pig did was squeeze her big head through a small hole (not sure how) to get at the food. Guinea head went in, but could not come back out.

She was trapped, her head was on one side, body on the other. In her struggle to free herself, she tore up her neck on the sharp plastic edge of the hole. My kid was frantic. We could not get her out without killing her and the pressure of her neck on the plastic was cutting into her with every move. My kid held her head up for 10 hours with his hands as I tried to figure out what to do.

I called vets, all of them within 20 miles. Every one said that they do not treat rodents, nor did the fire department. We tried filing the plastic, but that did not work either. We could not cut the hole because she was in so tight there was no room to insert tools.

Finally, we coated her in vaseline and used wire cutters to slowly cut away some plastic and metal to be able to pull her free. My poor kid thought her head would pop off as we pulled her out. But, she made it with a few bruises and a broken toe.

After that, we slowly let her roam around, get acquainted. She was terrified and non-trusting for months, but she warmed up to everyone and became a part of the family.

The little, fuzzy rodent surprised us all. As a pet she as as smart as a dog and as temperamental as a cat. She knows her name and comes when called. She greats us at the door when we come home. She talks or “squeeks” on command, begs for apples, and scares the piss out of strangers.

When strangers walk in a home, they normally pet the dog that comes out, with a guinea pig, these fools jump when a fuzzy rodent with big teeth runs at them. No one is used to a free roaming guinea pig I guess..

Fuzzy guinea is now fat ass guinea, no one can resist her begging and I can’t even imagine looking her in a cage anymore no matter how much work it is to pick up the “guinea pellets”.

Knowing my fat ass guinea as well as I do, I just can’t imagine roasting her up for dinner… but in Peru, she would be a prime meal.

Yep, guinea pig is considered good eats in parts of the world. I sure the hell can’t see why. I mean… They have little meat, look very unappetizing and have a huge amount of fur to remove… hell, they are like 50% fur I think. Once the fur is gone, there may not be much left o even use as an after dinner toothpick.

Just sick shit - roasted guinea pig on a stick? or it looks that way. Stiff ass guinea for sure,

Hey, take off the fur and make it into a hat or some shit, that looks gross.

She looks really serious about this recipe

Yikes! orYummy? burnt ass guinea pig may not equal good eats.
