Ahoy there, guinea pigs of the sea who wheek their siren song! It's Mermaid and Merpig Day! 🐹 💙 💚 💙 🧜‍♀️ 🧜‍♀️ 🧜‍♀️ 🌊 🌊 🌊 🥕

Does your guinea pig drink an excess of water, spend long hours guarding the water bottle like a dragon hoarding treasure, or sit dreamily at the edge of the cage gazing seaward (or at least toward the nearest window)? Does it make mysterious splashing noises at night, or rearrange its bedding into something suspiciously reef-like? You may have a merpig on your hands. While scientists insist guinea pigs are strictly terrestrial creatures, folklore tells another tale—of tiny whiskered beings who hear the call of the tides, dream of sea-carrots, and long to trade hay for kelp. Proceed with caution: once a merpig discovers its aquatic destiny, your water bottle may never be safe again. 🤪

Wheek! Wheek!
