Tastes like chicken!
But stringy. I had some in Peru years ago. Once was enough. But for college students, got to be better than swallowing gold fish.
Does Guinea Pig taste like Chicken?
My kid is the complete absolute opposite of these little pansies.
Yesterday, he completed his last final exam and graduates college next week in Astronautical Engineering.
He’s been battling kidney stones all finals week and is in a lot of pain.
Not a cry room or rodent in sight
Too much fur, not enough animal.
Not sure they’d be too edible if that wasn’t an issue.
Do not want to see gerbil and ease in same sentence.
Yep, had them as a kid. They have always reminded me of the tribbles in the 60s Star Trek episode the trouble with tribbles. They reproduce faster than a jackrabbit and they made the same cooing sound as guinea pigs.
Bet the snowflakes won’t clean up after them and that ensures that the dorm maintenance people are going to be pissed at the mess they leave.
I feel sorry for the guinea pigs.

What’s the life span of a guinea pig?
Snowflakes will file lawsuits within 30 days after that time, suing for unexpected stress of surprise guinea pigs deaths.
We had a hamster as a class pet but that was kindergarten.
LOL thanks
Where can I mail them guinea pig recipes? Maybe a video on how to dress them out?
Fat little rats who do nothing useful. They poop, pee and smell like ammonia. In other words, the perfect companions for snowflakes.
