Happy Mountain Day! Or Hill Day! Or maybe just Mound of Hay Day! 🐹 🗻 🗻 🗻 🥕

Do you have an extraordinary piggy with a penchant or climbing? Are they the type that know a treat is hidden up high, while the other piggies live as virtual flatlanders? Well, you may have a natural climber on your hands who thinks in three dimensions!!

Guinea pigs may long for alpine adventures, but their real story begins high in the Andes of South America. Descended from the montane cavy (Cavia tschudii), a hardy relative that still roams altitudes from 3,000 to over 12,000 feet!

These early cavies were first domesticated by Indigenous peoples for companionship, ceremony, and culture.

Is your piggy at sea level, mid level, or a tip top mountain piggy?

Wheek! Wheek!
