JuneBug, BabyRoo and Annie are adopted American shorthair female guinea pigs.
Hammy was the original HappyCavy guinea pig (along with her late sisters Piglet and Bitsy).
HappyCavy prefers adoption over buying, and we encourage others to look toward local rescues and shelters when searching for guinea pigs to adopt. Because of this belief, each HappyCavy guinea pig is a happy, healthy rescue that is finally living the good life in the HappyCavy Forever Home.
For updates about the herd, follow Herd Happenings.
Hammy and Piglet were adopted together in Spring 2009. To prepare for a short vacation in the Summer of 2009, the Humans arranged for a pet sitter to watch the two tiny creatures while they were both away. The Humans couldn’t resist setting up a few webcams, though, to keep an eye on them while they weren’t there. And thus, HappyCavy and its guinea pig webcams started. (The webcams were retired on April 8, 2024. But the guinea pig blog lives on.)
Thus, HappyCavy was born.
