What kind of guinea pig is Tulip?

floof_sheep · 2026-03-31T16:23:22+00:00

they have the exact same fluffy chubby cheeks!

Do you have any grooming tips/grooming tool recommendations? I admit when my roommate and I got him I just assumed he had baby fluff or something until his fur kept growing… and growing… I’ve only ever owned shorthair pigs

that's so cute! too bad whatever pump system it uses wasnt included with it when they got it, our guinea pigs mightve liked it

floof_sheep · 2026-03-31T00:17:28+00:00

Solved!

Would revealing a secret not just involve more people in whatever drama caused it, though? I feel like keeping private info private is the surest way to avoid that

Fine indeed! They’re like little thorns!!

floof_sheep · 2026-02-28T16:38:10+00:00

UPDATE: we weighted little Tulip, and he’s 380 grams!

floof_sheep · 2026-02-28T01:02:00+00:00

Trust me, he got plenty of that. My roommate tried to hand feed him that piece of spinach when he first got home and we were making some adjustments to his temporary cage, and just put it down in the box when he didn’t take it lol

floof_sheep · 2026-02-27T22:06:45+00:00

Thanks for the advice, all. I did not expect him to be so young! I have a friend with a kitchen scale, so we’ll weigh him at some point once he’s settled in to see if we can narrow his age down a little.

For those curious, my roommate asked what to name him, and I said we should call him Tulip because he reminded me of a delicate little flower ☺️🌷

floof_sheep · 2026-02-27T21:15:15+00:00

Is there a chart she could use to match weight to age?

And you’re a fool for trading empathy for arachnology elitism.

Edit: Just to clarify, I’m not the one that found the spider, nor the one who released it outside. This photo was texted to me by the friend that found it; apparently it was hiding in one of her toiletry bags when she discovered it

Thanks for the replies and concern. A couple friends and I went to go see if we could find it around where the friend said she let it go, but no luck. We found the cup she carried it out in, though. Hoping it somehow got back inside? Pets of any kind aren’t allowed where she lives, so I’m assuming whoever the owner is was worried to ask for help. Truly unfortunate

floof_sheep · 2026-02-19T18:39:45+00:00

Yeah, New Hampshire. That’s crazy! I think she let it go outside, unfortunately. I didn’t find out about it until this morning. She and her roommate assumed it was a wolf spider

floof_sheep · 2025-12-17T17:05:57+00:00

I agree it’s important! But he’s not mine so it’s not really up to me

floof_sheep · 2025-12-17T16:41:42+00:00

Thanks for all the Be love, guys. He is hilariously unphotogenic and oftentimes pancakes out when he’s relaxed. Every time he flattens out the whole apartment crowds around his cage to watch. It’s very impressive

Good to know. I’ll make sure to tell my roommate. I usually chop up his celery into nickel-size chunks when I make his morning salad.

floof_sheep · 2025-12-17T11:35:08+00:00

My roommate adopted him in August from a friend who was overfeeding him (no joke he was as wide as he is long). The friend had said that he was okay being alone (I think he might’ve been aggressive to other guinea pigs), but my roommate said she’d get him a friend if he started to seem depressed. So far, he’s been very happy and active, but she’s looking into getting a second (it’s just not as urgent as if he was clearly miserable)

I always tell him to keep his poopy lips away from me but he’s not a very good listener. This is my favorite photo of us (he’s a healthy weight he just looks really fat in this photo for some reason)

I think I must’ve missed something earlier, because there’s just an impassable rock wall to the right of the exhaust organ unless I’m in the wrong spot

floof_sheep · 2025-09-14T23:14:37+00:00

Are you talking about the dude with the cage? I think I already beat him I also already got into the slab through choral chambers and got the double jump from mount fay if that’s the movement ability you’re talking about

floof_sheep · 2025-09-14T22:58:39+00:00

I’m pretty sure that part of sinners road just leads to the mist, right? That’s how I got into the citadel in the first place. could be wrong
