I used to intern at a wildlife sanctuary and I used to stick baby raccoons on me like velcro and walk around while I clean their enclosures and stuff.
Not exactly the same, but my wife and I are babysitting our daughter's guinea pig, and she needed to clean his pen last night so asked me to hold him.
He was so gloriously chill. He just sat with me eating a carrot and watching TV.
I love guinea pigs. They are absolutely chill; capybaras and guinea pigs seem to be the same animal sized in xs and xl
I had one I used to hold in my arm like a football or a baby. His head would be in the crook of my arm and I'd hold his butt in my hand and he'd drape his back legs over my arm. He would stay like that for hours he was so content
I don't have any pictures of him handy, but he was adorable. Calico colored with short hair up front and long hair in back. And he was a big boi! He wasn't fat, just grew very large
I have my dad baby sit my piggies when I clean their cage too. The only downside is when we come to collect them, revealing the trove of accumulated chocolate tic-tacs beneath their bum.
Here I was thinking it was a small skunk before reading fully 🙂
