My name is Robby, a 29 year old guy working as a designer and living in the US. I've owned guinea pigs now for about 5 years, beginning in 2021 when I welcomed home my very first pig and set myself on the path towards piggy advocacy. Being a designer/programmer, it should've come as no surprise I'd find a way to combine both passions by creating this little blog page. I only wish I had thought to do so sooner!
I was never really exposed to guinea pigs as a kid, and only had minimal experience with caring for pets of any sort. But despite this, I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember and continuously committed to understanding what goes into their wellbeing.
While the catalyst for guinea pigs entering my life was unplanned, I've been beyond blessed and felt my life change as a direct result of their presence in it. It's been an honor of my life to have rescued so many of these little guys and provide them the life they deserve, and it's become a mission of mine to do the same for as many as I possibly can.
I'm super excited to introduce my babies to the world and hopefully, learning about them will help leave a lasting mark on you, just as it did for me.
