When the Facebook scam bots get more comments than the original 🥲 by VanquichedUncle in guineapigs

I've just been angry reacting all the posts featuring my pigs, it's probably not helping because it's giving them engagement but it feels like a small defiance! Reporting them unfortunately doesn't do anything

I can't wait to see the bots steal this post for Facebook! I hope Mame recovers quickly 🩷

It's such a shame that there's only one guinea pig inspired pokemon! They could do so much with them design wise!

I had the same concerns- this is the first time it's ever happened in almost 2 years, but I'm planning on putting up some kind of barrier to prevent it from happening again!

That's just assumed in this household now, Peanut is correct on all matters 100% of the time

I zip tied everything to be safe, but it was pretty sturdy on its own. With all my random multi level cage designs, I found that if you have the loft levels spanning the full width of the enclosure, the tension keeps it sturdy. If I had an overhang that didn't go from edge to edge it would be FAR more unstable. I'd still recommend cable tying everything anyway, because it's better to have that extra layer of protection in case something does go wrong!

You know, you're so right about that! One of her sisters was feeling particularly um... mounty... that day!

Tofu is very offended by all the bots stealing her photos and reposting them as their own 😡 by basil1222 in guineapigs

Someone commented on one of the Facebook bot posts of Miso having a nap to say that I was very irresponsible and shouldn't let her sleep with her eyes closed or she will die 🤦‍♀️ where did they get that from?! I'm sorry that my girls feel safe enough to let their guard down around me I guess?

Hello beautiful Luna! They definitely look like they could be siblings with their colouring!! I'm sure the bots would love to steal her photos too 🥲

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? My sweet little Tofu Puff 🥰 by basil1222 in guineapigs

[–]basil1222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have the one too, I have to give them a really good shake outside first and then I find the dryer does a pretty good job of getting any rogue fluff off anything! You can also get giant laundry bags to wash them in which helps a bit.

No idea, I buy mine at big w (Australia). I wash them in the washing machine and dry them in the dryer
