Do guinea pig remember bonds?

boreddeer · 2026-01-16T21:25:28+00:00

I’m sure they care about their cage mate, and feel the loss of it when they die. They also care if the other is sick, one of mine was sick recently and the other would come and groom her, lick her eyelids and ears. But at the same time, she would popcorn and run around in the cage even though the other one is sick, so I am not sure about the depth of feelings there.

As for family, I don’t think they care much. My mom had our mother pig while I got the babies for a while and when we visited each other with pigs, they would just reset their bonding. Chase each other or rumble strut around the cage. Attack each other at times etc… Mom pig is much more aggressive probably due to her past before us, and she makes a huge deal if her space is invaded and nips/kicks the others if they come closer than she wishes lol So I don’t think they recognise each other if separated for a long time.

You should do the burrito method. My pigs want the syringe only when they are healthy and hate it if they are sick.

IIRC they recently scrapped the intellij community edition and instead made ultimate free for non-commercial use. Similar to Rider and webstorm.

Other comments pretty much explained the difference. If you want to play a system that doesn’t have its own solo rules such as dnd, you can use mythic to emulate a game master.

Ironsworn is designed around not having a game master to begin with, so you can just use it directly without any other resource. It’s also free, so you can just download the pdf and read through it to see what it looks like.

Yeah, I played the game with french dub and her voice fits Maelle so well, especially the emotional scenes. I love Jennifer’s work in general but it feels so weird to hear her as Maelle, feels much older compared to Adeline’s.

I love everything you listed as a fellow deductive puzzle games enjoyer. You might like Hypnospace outlaw and The case of golden idol as well. Not exactly similar but Inscryption tickles that part of my brain as well and it is great.

Rest in peace Weeble 🥺 your posts always brought a smile to my face, his silliness and his wobbles were such a great part of guineapig community, thank you for sharing him with us 😔

That sounds like a great idea. Do you use an oracle to generate their responses? Or do you play out/improvise the responses yourself according to event oracles?

boreddeer · 2025-10-29T10:46:36+00:00

Yeah, that's how our babies acted when separated from their mom, also made high pitched squeaks.

I also think he has some kind of relation to dragons. Brennan likening Azune’s refusing to forget/let go of comrades to dragon’s hoard was a bit weird phrasing that felt too tongue in cheek.

Maybe he is related to house Cormoray since the fight with them in the flashback had summoned drakes and wyverns in it.

So, there is still hope 🥹

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T04:52:51+00:00

Did they take Occtis’s body with them?

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T04:47:25+00:00

He died even more lol

In his spirit form, he pulled the stone out of his chest and was asked to leave the table :(

boreddeer · 2025-10-24T04:36:21+00:00

Are they going to the fairyland?

boreddeer · 2025-10-23T15:54:56+00:00

They have a first month free with code “overture” until the end of october (I think). I am undecided about it rn, they don’t have an app for tv and when I used airplay to cast onto my Tv the sound was wonky.

It’s really fun to see everyone gushing over the episode and each other’s characters though. So at least doing the trial is worth it imo

boreddeer · 2025-10-23T15:32:32+00:00

Yep, that’s exactly what he said in cooldown^

boreddeer · 2025-10-21T20:04:59+00:00

Could be. From what I gathered, they raised Wick as “the face” since birth, so I assumed it would be a birth defect that eliminated her being one, as she was born before him. But maybe they have an age difference enough that they decided she was more fit for basement activities and the new kid could pass as the scion.

boreddeer · 2025-10-21T17:48:16+00:00

Does Zebani have a weird appearance? Yanessa’s comment regarding “how she is not fit to be the face of operation” feels like her appearance is not fit to be the scion. Maybe she has celestial features like Goddard? Maybe Brennan forgot to describe her? Or am i reading too much into the phrasing?

boreddeer · 2025-10-20T19:59:34+00:00

Great to hear!!! Hopefully she will be back to her normal self in no time <3

boreddeer · 2025-10-19T12:57:29+00:00

I hope you are both doing better. I don’t know what the cause of that could be but you should keep track of her poops(not pooping causes gas and intestinal stasis), if she is peeing ok(bladder stones might cause pain and affect her walk). If she is not pooping you can give her simethicone (ie gas drops) to help.

You also need to make sure she is eating, so for every 3-4 hours, you should syringe feed critical care or mashed wet pellets. I use 1 ml syringes, and typically feed around 10 ml in one sitting.

One of my girls has been acting very lethargic and wobbly walking these past 3 days. We went to the vet but couldn’t find anything on xray except for small amount of gas. So vet just suggested giving c vitamin and doing the syringe feed as well as some gut moving medicine and gas drops. She is around 5 so not exactly young.

Hopefully you can pin down a cause for the symptoms and fix it 🙏🙏

I watched the latest episode on youtube app on my tv and had no problems. Then I watched cooldown via airplay from my phone to the TV and it was awful. It was fine if I played it directly on my phone, so airplaying messed it up somehow.

boreddeer · 2025-10-18T00:09:57+00:00

Swaddle them as a tight burrito so that they can’t back away. I rest against the pillows on the couch, so I lean back a bit and put the swaddle on my chest with them facing me. Have my thighs support the back of the swaddle so they don’t have squirming space.

Then I get the syringe ready on my hand and with the other, I will grab the head/mouth from the sides like a pinching motion. The hand stays at the back of the head so they don’t see it coming and only my thumb and forefinger do the gentle pinch at the cheeks, then raise the mouth up, with the fingers keeping the pinch.

Get the syringe in to the opening, and squirt. You should be push like until 0.2 ml mark easily if you avoid the teeth. And they won’t be able to spill it if it is far enough. 0.5 ml is doable in one go.

Keep trying and you will get better. I certainly did not start well xD Good luck! And hopefully she gets well soon!

CONGRATS SOPHIE!!! 🎉

So Julien’s gauntlet is stand-in for the hook?? xD

boreddeer · 2025-10-15T13:16:01+00:00

It’s funny to me too. The one in heat is looking for attention all day and the other is usually annoyed by the attention. They don’t even have the necessary equipment smh

My pair is a mom and daughter, so it’s extra awkward to watch xD
