This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That is interesting, I never considered that these would be bred this way, mainly because it's still such a novelty to see one. Love the "shivering scrotum" description too 🤣
Especially appropriate since every piggy's goal in life is to become the most rotund specimen. I imagine this one's fitness goals involve him being the biggest ballsack in existence, with four little legs sticking out of the side and a food hole in the front
Fun fact: Guinea pigs display dominance by shaking their ass menacingly. They have no depth perception, so they make themselves look bigger by waving their ass back and forth while staring their opponent down. I suspect it is only called "rumble strutting" because pet owners don't want to say their little boys are in a thunder thigh competition.
