You might ask "Jessica?Why not Snowy or Cocoa Or-Something else!" Cause my friend Emma had some named Cocoa and Pumpkin and her dog got a hold of them (pray for Emma) so NO food names.I also call her Jess or Jesse Or MESSY JESSE! She has a two story cage and she flings her hay and poop out the little bars on the counter! If I put her in a basket of something *SPLAT!* 8 turds roll out at once!Gross. On the upside she pooped on my brother!!GOOD HE DESERVED IT.I love her!She is a girl (You dont say!) I dont know how old she is but we might get her a buddy!!
Many a time a cute guinea has grossed out its owner by picking up its own poop and ate it right there. Don't worry this is a normal healthy habit amongst guinea pigs and should not be discouraged. This habit is called cophrology. Guinea pigs release two different types of dung. One type is the one we all know which is just solid waste. The other type which guinea pigs excrete is called caecotrophs. These caecotrophs contain water, vitamins and protein. Guinea pigs excrete caecotrophs because they cannot chew thier food fully and thereby required to digest thier food a second time. Isn't that food for thought.
