I have noticed that most cavies are very fond of boxes and that they have always jumped a lot so why do they not use them in magic shows insted of rabbits?

Although I am quite young, and I am an American Roan (short-haired cavy with roan markings) that even my breeder thought was "kind of dumb," I feel that I would make an excellent detective. I nose around and look at stuff, and I watch intently as the huge pink things act incomprehensibly around me. Plus I was named after a famous detective. Case closed.

If your pigs are not very fit, then try this method. It will benifit cavy and owner. Instead of using hamster power to make old cars go; use a cavy. They have more horse power behing them.

I think guinea pigs would be great watch piggies! They will whistle and squeak any time they see people. All you need to do is put fencing all the way around your house and two feet down in the ground, hang waterers from your gutter down low enough for them to drink from, put troughs out to feed them evey day then all you have to do is give them your spare veggies and pellets every day and there you have gaurd piggies that won't hurt anything but the grass.

Cavies make great alarm Clocks! all you have to do is set your alarm clock and get up at that time, then after a while the Cavies will start waking you up!!

Cavies can be used by mothers to help prevent toy shop businessmen from getting their dollar. First the mother brings the child to the toy shop, hiding the guinea pig in her bag. When the child demands a certain toy, release the cavy and presto! Thechild either: 1.becomes teriified and abandons all forms of extortion on poor mum. 2.falls for the guinea pig instead. Either way, he will not ask for a toy anymore. Hahahahah! Imagine how much you can save on toy expenses, mothers!

Cavies could be used as healers for the sick and disabled. Dolphins are used to make children and adults happy when swimming with them. Why not have an area where there are hundreds of cavies waiting to be cuddled to form happiness.

A Guinea Pig lawnmower. Put your Cavy on lead and let him/her munch their way around the garden. This may take a while but a least your Guinea Pig won't need feeding later!

A new type of roller skate! Tie a wheel to each of the GP's feet, and strap them to both of your feet, and hey presto, a new type of transport with built in brakes, they will squeal when the think you are going too fast!! To stop them, simply throw a juicy carrot at their feet!

Put a small herd of guinea pigs on leashes and take them out to the lawn. Mowing and fertilizing in one easy eco-friendly step! No harmful petrol fumes from the lawn mower, no noise to annoy neighbors (well, maybe a few "wheeks"), less labor-intensive than a push mower.

Stand-in for exotic zoo animals. (e.g. zebra, wombat,or even elephant!) I'm sure that zoos and similar places have a need to occasionally take elephants to the vet, on an outing, etc. A guinea pig could easily take the place of such an animal while it's gone, and smile at the zoo visitors and pose for pictures.

You could use a Guinea Pig as a practical joke. Turn somebody's hearing aid up and then squeeze the guines pig hard, and the old person will jump out of their bed and hurt themselves :) okay, i know that's a bit mean, for the guinea pig and the old person, but hey, it's a joke! :)

1. Cleaning under the couch. Why move the couch around to clean under it when you can let the little cavies run around and do the cleaning! 2. As a vital part of the Emergency Warning System, their squeals would alert people to immanent danger. They would be followed by an announcer telling where to turn for more information.

1) landscape artists - topiary, edging, trimming bonsai would be their specialties. 2) Foot warmers - special pockets in the top of house slippers to allow a GP to nestle inside, provide extra warmth - cuter than bunny slippers, too! 3) Recycling - working at a recycling center, in the newspaper bin, busily converting newspaper to compost/mulch!

What with the new Labour government and its desire to be innovative as well as to institute more humane policies, I think there is a place for pigs in government! Specifically, but not limited to the following, I suggest: 1) a cavy should become minister of agriculture; this would please vegans, cavies, and other eco-peaceful people; 2) message runners in the House of Commons; being low-slung and fast, the diminutive speedsters could quickly carry rolled-up notes to various parts of the chamber; and 3) older pigs should be named to peerages and put in the House of Lords (before it is abolished), so as to uplevel the quality of discussion that occurs there. The proper response to many of the suggestions there can only be: "weeeeet! weeeeeeet! tststststst!!"

I think cavies would make a great refrigerator alarm for keeping dieters in line. Once the fridge door opens, as you all know, cavies squeal rather louldly! This would make it impossible for dieters to hide their trips to the fridge during day or night!

AWARD WINNING SUGGESTION - FEBRUARY 1997 !

A living alarm clock. My guinea pigs scratch that, CAVIES, start squealing promptly at four (for fresh food and water) when they hear me rustle around in bed. They won't stop squealing until I get up and change their feed and water. That's the only way to "reset" the alarm clock. And they're quite loud I might add.

This isn't very ingenious but anyway: Cavy Employment - Grass cutter who cuts your grass for free. Plus he/she also disposes of the cut grass in an economic and environmentally-friendly manner, not to mention that he/she fertlizers your garden naturally without the use of artificially-made fertlizer! (You know what I mean; the g-pig eats the grass, then throws his/her 'waste' all over the garden!)
