I think this post belongs somewhere else.

You can't just post a picture of an empty box without further explanation.

I was always amazed by how utterly stupid an organism can be. And that thing survives somehow in nature.

Not anymore 😬, they're extinct in the wild.

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

No way!

Wikipedia suggests montane guinea pig as a wild ancestor.

Piggies are extingt in the wild?!

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (3 children)

There is some, as @lnxtx@feddit.nl pointed out, but they are very different to the domesticated guinea pig.

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago

Makes sense, you're right.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Isn't that kind of like saying "poodles are extinct in the wild", when there were never wild poodles in the first place?

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

As to be expected tbh

Op you can’t just post an empty cubicle on a guinea pig community

When my guinea pigs are scared they both try to hide under each other

Same! Or one time one of them got a fright, and ran into a window thing on a hut. she got her head stuck.
