So what if people eat rabbits? Are they eating YOUR rabbits? I didn't think so. Get on with it. Nature should have considered your feelings before it made all the delicious animals adorable.

I'll bet they can brine several dozen before they have to top up. MMMMmmmmmm, Guinea Pig. Of course, a Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) will feed a few more people each, but they're nowhere near as easy to work with.

People usually don't go around telling people how good dogs or cats taste when someone posted a lolcat, but it's common with guinea pigs and rabbits. It's nosy bad taste and intended to provoke a reaction. Oh please, anon has a point.

My friend had a pair of g-pigs that would constantly fight until she learned that if you bathe them together, the sheer trauma causes them to bond. She tried it, and apparently it worked like a charm! That’s really interesting that they don’t look stressed out at all.

If they didn't like the water I think they'd act more like my cats the few times I gave them a bath - scratching and clawing the hell out of me just to get out of there. The guinea pig on the left is barely being held and isn't squirming away, so yeah, I guess they like it. They look pretty content.
