Thank you, this made me laugh so hard! I hope your guinea pig is OK

Next week:

TIFU by rubbing cocaine into my Chihuahua's gums.

I hope this is a joke

Today I also learned very basic shit…

Learned my lesson this time.. the other animals will be safe now.

TIL there is no limit to stupidity

You obviously are not okay.

didn't you just read the story i read? it's something straight out of a 90's sitcom. they learned a lesson and the animal is fine... what's your problem?

Guinea pigs should never be alone, if you have them you should always have at least 2. Some countries ban only owning one because they consider it abuse.

If this post isn't a joke:

1. Don't suddenly add anything to a guinea pig's (sole) water bottle. That includes supplements. Guinea pigs are incredibly picky and will quite literally thirst to death if something seems "off" with their water. There are reports of owners adding supplements to water and checking in later only to find dead guinea pigs.

2. Your real fuck-up is buying a single (!!!) guinea pig without doing basic research, I'm assuming.

I'm guessing/hoping this is a troll post, so I'd rather not waste more time writing, sorry.

My problem is the fact that animal abuse isn't funny, and I doubt that guinea pig actually is fine.

"Straight out of a '90s sitcom" indeed.

Yep. But don't worry. "The animal is fine."

Aw man that’s not cool that poor little Guinea pig your not a scientist mate don’t experiment with a helpless animals, it’s poor little heart could probably explode with the amount of caffeine it would be like giving a person a ounce of Columbian 😂

Probably has a undiagnosed heart condition now. Poor little thing

May I ask how old you are? Did your parents give you the guinea pig to check if you are fit to take care for a dog?

I highly recommend you study the type of pet you are thinking about taking care of before you actually get the pet. Most human food is not good for animals (I mean, half the time even we should not be consuming it...). An oversight like this can easily lead to you killing your pet.

Happy everything turned out OK this time.

Science Lesson Time: Caffeine is a type of organic chemical called an alkaloid. Plants make these chemicals to try and deter insects and small animals from feeding on them. In other words, alkaloids are some of nature's poisons. They are often particularly potent against small animals (because they can't take as much of a dose) and herbivores, because the evolutionary arms race is a son of a bitch. This is why the advice for giving pets caffeine is always going to be DON'T.
