Guinea pig armour put on sale after previous owner dies

If you’ve ever been concerned about your guinea pig getting injured while doing battle then a new piece of armour that’s gone on sale may be just what you need.

The battle gear is available to buy on eBay after its previous owner Lucky the guinea pig died.

The pet can be seen modelling the fetching chainmail and helmet in a series of promotional shots to the delight of many users online.

CorpseGoddess wrote: ‘I was wondering how heavy it was, for the guinea pig’s little stumpy legs. That being said, I immediately had visions of guinea pig jousting contests.’

Lauren Davis added: ‘I picture it with carrots instead of lances. The guinea pigs eventually pause to eat each other’s weapons.’

The suit is being auctioned off by eBay user mightys0x and we can only hope the next pet to wear it has better fortune than Lucky.

Dogs attacked - by kung fu guinea pig

A Slovakian woman couldn't believe her eyes when her pointer dogs were attacked - by a kung fu guinea pig.

Marta Domotorova, of Hradok, says the pint-sized ninja suddenly attacked her Hungarian pointers during a stroll on heathland near her home.

The curious hounds had spotted the guinea pig and trotted over to investigate - but it scared them off with a series of spinning kicks and leaps.

Mrs Domotorova said: "Bona started barking and Meggie wanted to sniff it.

"I guess it got pretty scared although both dogs are harmless and just wanted to play.

"But then they got pretty scared when the guinea pig started its kung fu chops."

Local wildlife experts believe the furious furball is a household pet that's either escaped or been abandoned.

"It's not the first time we've heard of this. These creatures are usually docile family pets but when they feel threatened they will fight for their lives like any animal that thinks it's been cornered," explained one.
