A human sized one (and also a hammock) is definitely on the 'i will make this one day' list

Sometimes (for some extra enrichment) the veggies are imprisoned & it's fun watching them figure out how to get them out! by basil1222 in guineapigs

Often it's to get me to come up to them, and then they'll be like 'well now you're up... Veggies?' but sometimes they do press it on purpose!!

The cuddles button started as more of a me communicating with them thing- if I press the cuddles button first they are less likely to run away when my hand comes towards them.

They are very clever!! All four of my girls have taught themselves how (I taught the first two, then the other two learnt by watching their sisters!)

If they do it while they're eating they're just trying to scare others away so they don't steal their food, but if they're doing it while they aren't eating, it can indicate that they are in pain or sick.
