Guinea Pigtato Just Needs Some Cheese and Bacon Bits

Posted on 21/03/2017 by Shane McGlaun

Behold the greatest animal cosplay ever. It’s a guinea pig, a rather fat and strange rodent that parents tend to buy for kids instead of a dog. This particular guinea pig is the same width from his fat little cheeks down to his piggy arse.

That makes the pig perfect to play a deliciously starchy side dish. Stuff him in some foil and put a pat of butter on his pack and boom… behold the Pigtato. I wonder if the chubby little rascal ended up eating that butter.

I’m sort of hungry for a baked potato topped with pulled pork now.

Steampunk Guinea Pig Wings: Because Etsy

Posted on 16/08/2014 by Conner Flynn

Turn your guinea pig into a steampunk superhero with these awesome leather and brass wings. Silvia Ferreira makes custom steampunk clothing and owns SkyPirate Creations. She wants to outfit your furry little pet in adorable superhero/fantasy wear.

The cooling fan in the center is a nice touch, because guinea pigs apparently tend to overheat. I’m not sure why that is, since I have never seen one get any exercise.

Now you can prepare your pet for a future where guinea pigs take to the skies and battle each other among zeppelins and bi-planes, landing only for tasty snacks.

The latest animal to get the couture treatment is the guinea pig.
