Penguin here.
This is our first non-Christmas guinea pig post! It’s also our first guinea pig post to include a baby one! In case you weren’t aware, guinea pigs are also called cavies and they don’t actually come from New Guinea, but from the Andes in South America.
Guinea pigs are truly adorable. In fact, Blue Bear used to have a pair of guinea pigs named Plum and Pepper. They were a lot of fun to play with. I bet these two little cavies in the image are also lots of fun to have around.
Tiny Kisses for my Little One!
Quick Update: The original photographer of this picture popped by recently and let us know that the mother guinea pig in this photo is in fact NOT the mother of the baby, and that this is her first experience with a young guinea pig. She looks like she’s doing a GREAT job, and loves this little baby just as much as if she were its mother. Thanks for letting us know, Nicole.

By the way, Soffy was not this baby’s mother, she never produced any offspring. It was her first experience with a young baby.
Hi there,
Thanks for letting us know that you were the original photographer. As you can see, we source the images to wherever we happened to have found them, but often those sites don’t credit the original photographer or it’s hard to find that information, so we can’t always credit the person who originally took the picture. It’s the way of the internet, unfortunately. I’m glad you found the picture and let us know, though, and I am adding your website to the sources at the bottom of the post, as well as adding an inline edit concerning the alleged mother guinea pig not actually truly being the mother of the baby.
Thanks again. We’re very sorry for not properly crediting you to begin with.
