Stunning day for our lawn mowers to be out doing their job now that I've finished mine. It has even reached the heady heights of 16°C! Not bad for a highland day in autumn. #guineapigs #cavies #tapsaff
Peaty, our appropriately named black, void pig, stares out at the camera from behind some tasty tasty grass. He is partially hiding in the safety of his rainbow-coloured hidey within the confines of the C&C caging (blurred in the foreground).A small (4x4) C&C cage sits amid the lush, and somewhat untidy, lawn. Within are two hideys and, under a waterproof tarp (1x4) acting as a sunshade, is a cardboard box hidey. Within are the pigs.
The garden scene continues back, lush and green still, along the side of a whitewashed and harled building.
Stunning blue skies can be seen above.

Happy Guinea Pig Appreciation Day to those who celebrate! These two floofs say that cushions are for hiding under and hideys are for sitting on. #guineapigs #guineapigappreciationday

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Historically, eels have made up as much as 50% of the fish biomass in downstream sections of rivers in the Europe that empty into the Atlantic. So. Many. Eels. Their population has crashed in the last 40 years. But before that...it was eels all the way down. 2/2
Meme. Photograph of a the head of young yellow eel on a black background. You would like to call her Vallora Noxa, but you can tell that would be wrong; something in her demeanor says that you will never know her. You can see her fins, and one of her eyes, and her nostril horns. Her body creases a bit at the edge of the picture, and you know that she is likely curling around like a pole dancer doing warmups, or a bullwhip in full flight. But her head is still, and her gaze holds you like a cage holds a mouse.

Her expression shows deep sadness, and yours would too, in her place. If you knew what she knows. Of course, now you do know, so the world expects your sorrow. Or, at least, the appearance of it.

Meme text reads:
"I used to have
90 billion friends"

Whilst we'll miss our departed piggies dearly; Whisky and Peaty, our remaining boars, now get to have the whole room to themselves and they've been excitedly exploring their larger enclosure today. Popcorning at the new space. #guineapigs #cavies
The full back wall, measuring six ikea cupboard units in width (which would otherwise seem an odd metric to use, but the room has six ikea units across it and a further one at each end making L-shapes) is the size of the C&C cage enclosure the pigs have to live in.
There is then a ramp leading down from their cage to the floor, allowing them even more space for their daily roaming!
The floor has several obvious hiding places for pigs (cardboard boxes) and some hidden hideys under the chair.

Sad times around the house this month, as we had to say goodbye to both Ben (Sep 20-Apr 26) and Scruffles (Jul 21-May 26). This pair of daft floofs will be sorely missed as they make their way over the rainbow bridge 🌈 #guineapig #cavies
A massive white ball of fluff and a smaller grey and white floof, who we call Ben and Scruffles, sit amongst a pile of grass on the sofa enjoying life.Ben, a white fluffy guinea pig, sits on the lawn in the shade. Comfy within his pink tube, living his best life.Scruffles' grey and white nose sticks out of his green "safety tube" in his cage. He has been, until the taking photo, been eating a herby bale.
The safety tube was the only place he was comfortable popcorning when we first adopted him. What a dafty.

This big melted lump of pig (named Whisky) gave us a bit of a scare by developing a head tilt and losing weight. After some checks and a bit of metacam he's regained weight and no sign of a head tilt. The stress of having adorable meat potatoes in your life! #guineapigs #guineapig #cavies
A white-blond floof with a paler stripe leading up from his nose lies quite relaxed on a blue and grey patterned fleece top. His spiky hair at the top of his head betrays a rosette, hidden out of sight.A white blond floof has begun to melt and slowly pour down the ramp from his elevated house. So relaxed.
A black void stands behind, barely noticeably another guinea pig rather than the abyss.
Their house is lined with soft bathmat material and a rainbow coloured arch hidey is visible in the background.
