You know you're a guinea pig owner when...

When you swear you heard a squeak even after their no longer with you.

When you get a giant bag of just the corn husks at the grocery store and everyone looks at you funny. And when they ask if you cook with them or something, you say, "No, they're for my guinea pigs, of course!"

When you have to put a towel down on your sofa so your guests can sit on it because your piggie peed on it and you haven't washed the slipcovers yet.
@Stephanieg518 I bought cameras too so I can have piggie cam 24/7!

Good, I'm not the only one that obsessed!

@Rywen and @Stephanieg518 what kind if cameras do you use and where did you get them. If your can post a pic that would be great. Sorry for jacking this thread

When the first thing that pops up in your head after work is; I wonder what the pigs did today.

I got mine from amazon actually. The brand is "dlink" and it connects to your home wifi and then you can stream it from an app on your smart phone. A lot of people use them as live baby monitors. The one I use also has sound. Here is a pic I just took from my live feed.

When more than half of your to do list is filled with piggy related things.

-Any store I go into I think wow Mocha might be able to use that
-Going into JoAnn Fabrics and spending 30 minutes deciding which fleece would look better
-Your handheld vacuum gets clogged with hay
-Having hair all over you after handling them for a minute
-Hay all over the house
-Constantly hearing wheeking everyday (even when your pig is sleeping or you're out somewhere)

I change songs to piggie lyrics too! Poor boys have to hear my awful singing voice everyday. Most popular is singing "Baby Got Back" to my cuy, except I change it to: I like big boars and I cannot lie...

Biggest piggie mama moment was an early morning earthquake. I don't even remember getting out of bed. I was sleeping, the building was shaking, and next thing I know I'm hovering over their cage. The boys could care less about the quake, they just starting begging for morning veggies.

My boyfriend assumes that all the produce I buy is for the piggies... which it mostly is! XD
Hay is found in the most random places of the house.
I almost expect to hear whistles and wheeks and cage rattling when I start chopping veggies, whether they're for the piggies or not -_-

@Starthecavy123 I bought mine on amazon.com, they are the Foscam HD wireless IP cameras.

When you open the dryer door and two handfuls of hay come falling out because you forgot to shake off the towel used for lap time before washing it...yup.

Despite having no human children, and not very good with them either, people frequently say to me "Spoken like a true mother" when I am talking about how you are responsible for making sure no one is just eating all of the yummy stuff and ignoring the other parts of their diet.

When you go to petsmart and restock on hay, pellets and vitamin C and the cashier asks if you have guineapigs.....plus they comment on how big of a bag you have of hay

When you spend more on your guinea pigs fleece than you do on your own sheets and towels

When you buy a separate vacuum just for cleaning up around the guinea pig cage

When you find pellets and poop rooms of your home your guinea pigs have never been in

And most importantly: When your family gets insulted because you can't spend all day with them because the guinea pigs need dinner.

YES I HAVE A GOOD ONE!

You know you're a guinea pig owner when

You can sit by their cage for hours entertained by them bullying eachother, popcorning and ball dragging all over the place LOL

My husband and I sit nightly with the boys by their cage watching them and cheering them on yelling "POPCORN" or "BULLLLYYY" or "BALL DRAG" as they do it around the cage *giggles* we are immature, but have fun with our boys xD

LOL ......i found a poop in my jeans pocket the other day, idk how it got there hahahahahahaha I'm not even grossed out by piggy poop anymore

- When you have more pictures of your pigs on your phone or facebook page than of yourself (or your human children).
- You can talk for 30 minutes or more on the differences in personality of your individual pigs and their history/how they got their names.
- Friends forward you anything they find online related to guinea pigs because they know you're a "pig person".
- And for those of us here - You use your lunch break or other work breaks to check in on a guinea pig forum.

I like to sing "I like pig butts and I cannot lie" when I'm alone. Embarassingly, I have started singing it when I am not alone more than once.

Or when you start talking about your pigs out of the blue or in the middle of a conversation

When you go around trying to communicate with your piggies
