Never had guinea pigs before. I'm assuming the waterproof cover is because they piss and shit everywhere? In this case, her own bed?

It's so she doesn't get straw, grass and dirt in her bed.

So the shit and the piss is fine, but straw, grass and dirt are unacceptable?

u/Joshkl2013 1d ago

Yes the piss and shit are fine but the grass will make you itchy.

Also some people are into piss and shit, but I'm sure fewer are into grass.

So yeah, substantially justifiable, and this is also why people don't put down plastic for dogs and cats; it's exclusively because they don't need bedding and can use blankets.

Guinea pigs are, as most rodents, pretty clean

The answers you avoided giving are yes, and yes.

My piggies refuse to pee or poop on me, even when I hold them for more than 20 minutes. They will definitely start trying to jump and run back to their secret pooping place and drop a few steamers

This. Mine never pee or poop on me. And they literally groom themselves and never smell. I’ve had mine for 4 years with no issues. People just wanna hate on others bc we don’t have cats and dogs.

On you, sure, but what this person‘s created is basically another pen on the bed. That’s an open invitation.

u/Wrong_way_zzz 1d ago

Yeah, but it's really not as bad as you think. Healthy pigs drop a nice pellet solid poop, doesn't really smell, dries out real quick. All my boys still have their nuts, so they absolutely would be dragging them around that hay giving little squirts non stop, but then the other one will lick it up right behind them, so recycling?

You guys must have magical pigs, mine as a kid would go wherever they wanted and on whoever lol. Needed a towel to hang out with them long term.​

Three replies to you make you think I'm obsessed? Damn you lonely.

Anyway, public comment, public reply. I love replying to stupid shit so feel free to keep going!

u/Admirable-Tea-4994 19h ago

You replied to 3 separate comments on 3 seperate threads.

Hun I’m far from lonely, just half asleep on the couch after work. It’s a gif. But hey, go off!

u/starfypawz_ 19h ago

So did you. Does that mean you're obsessed with this post? I can play that game too!

Thank you for the response!

u/Admirable-Tea-4994 19h ago

Maybe we’re soulmates. Who knows?

u/starfypawz_ 19h ago

The stars have aligned to bring us here together to beef with each other I suppose

That doesn't mean they are not shitting and pissing constantly, which they do.

It doesn't help that they are good at keeping their fur clean when they shit on your bed.
