John Finnemore is Moomin and is everything a Moomin ought to be.
@vermofftiss in case you want to add it to your collection.

My nayme is bird And wen it's Yule And Swedish snow Lies cold and cruel I look for seeds With many friends But food is scarce Where flock descends
But then we hear Of ancient rite We leave the trees We all take flight If fire not Its end promote? We do the deed. We eat the goat.

"My darlings, this is water." 💜😄@elbiotipo
Typical guinea pig behaviour: "I'm not sure if you're my kid, but I'll just assume you are."
I have a mama GP and two (grown-up) babies. A whole bunch of mamas came into the rescue as a big group, and started dropping babies before the shelter could sort them out. I fostered them from when the babies were about two weeks old. There is no guarantee Tippi and Maeve are actually Bo's bio daughters, but she looked after them just the same. Daddy and Uncle pigs also take good care of youngsters, no matter whose they are. It's one of my favourite things about GPs, and it seems Capys are the same.

Yay! Thank you, I love it!
I love that you have a collection of 'little things'. I have one too.
Am I too late for a treat?
No no, not at all!

Bunnies are arseholes.
Guineas are smaller, noisier arseholes.
Some pros and cons -
Rabbit-
Pros-
Intelligent
Can be litter trained
SOFT
Pretty
More variety
People orientated
Bonds with owner strongly
Binkies
Quiet
Less fragile (but still fragile)
Cons-
Bigger (even dwarfs)
More expensive
Can bite or scratch
No toe beans
Can only keep two together if fixed
Need spaying/neuter for longer/healthier life
Need vaccines (If disease where you are)
Guinea pig-
Pros-
Wheak!
Colourful
Human like feeties (can be con)
Cheaper
Rarely bites
Smaller
Friendliest rodent
Easier to keep multiple together (unless boar)
Popcorn
Cons -
Noisy
Looks like if a potato was a rat
Where's the tail?
Human like feeties (can be pro)
WILL pee and poop on you (only hold 15 mins)
Can't litter box train
Likes food more than you
More Fragile
I like rabbits more as they bond strongly and are so soft and pretty.
But others like guinea pigs for the cheerful noises and gentle nature.
There is no right or wrong answer.

I have changed it from brick to potato rat. Said brick as saw a show judge call them a brick wrapped in silk. But it sounds mean.
Also forgot to put guinea pig popcorn

Any dog vs a shark would win on land but only a polar dog would have a chance vs a shark in water
Makes sense. But who would win in aerial combat?

A very curious Pyroraptor spots something interesting (a cycad seed) on the forest floor, and is just...tickled pink by it for some reason.
