"You got games on your phone" but it's carrots in your fridge
Those are little shit machines. Who also eat their shit.
You can have carrots
Edit: Eagles are indeed birds.
So glad a bird or an eagle didn't grab the poor carrotless thing.
Eagles are birds
Allegedly!
Mine won't let me get my morning coffee until they have been served their morning carrots. Such entitled little potatoes!
Give him all the carrots
It was in Peru where I developed my love for guinea pigs.
What's it named Cuy?
You mean served as food?
You're saying the quiet part out loud
The guinea pig is probably asking for shelter because it's a prey animal and worried about being killed by birds, critters, pets, etc..
It's probably not asking anything as it most likely has no concept what a question even is or any theory of mind about humans.
They actually make special whistle noises just for humans and they certainly ask for food. The are very social, and can get very depressed alone or if a partner dies.
They tend to get stressed being exposed outside because they want to feel secure. They know they can't fight against predators.
