So cute! I love the serious look on all their faces. Piggies are awesome!

2 Kiddo 08.16.07 at 5:08 pm

Gyaaaah! I love the white one. “I wants it! Enh! enh!”

That and the supressed laughter of whoever was doing the filming.

3 rorschach 08.16.07 at 5:09 pm

Random cucumber hits lil’ piggie in the butt. Chaos ensues…

4 luvinmalssomuch 08.16.07 at 5:11 pm

Oh that’s just so wrong. One cuc for 3 pigs. So darn cute all three of them. I could cuddle all of um.

5 Animalphiles Annie 08.16.07 at 5:17 pm

This happened with my two ratties and a half-eaten corn cob earlier this week. They briefly came to blows – but eventually worked out a shared kernel plan. So cute when the object in question (cob, cuc) is almost too big for the little ones to run away with.

Go black piggy! Go white piggy! Beat brown piggy!

I can’t help but root for the underpigs.

13 jess e. 08.16.07 at 5:22 pm

That red one is a greedy little piggy!!! Go whitey! I love how they haul the whole cuke away from each other.

14 Maggie 08.16.07 at 5:22 pm

I love piggehs! Can’t wait to have a few of my own! They’ll get cukes all the time if they do like this :)

15 leprechaun 08.16.07 at 5:23 pm

Must say I was cheerin’ for the white pigling. But they all win for cuteness!

16 Ms. Pants 08.16.07 at 5:25 pm

Man, RedBrown Piggeh is a PIGGEHHHHH!!!

I was rooting for Black. I mean, he got smacked in the bum and all….

17 CuteRules 08.16.07 at 5:27 pm

Announcer: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the first competition of the cucumber wars, held here at the beautiful arena! You may have seen similar wars from your own piggies, but I guarantee that none of you have seen this level of competition. Let’s meet our three competitors, who have been training for this competition since they were born. Number 1: Brown. Number 2: White. And Number 3: Black. On the count of three the cucumber will be thrown into the ring and the war will begin. Ready? 1… 2… 3… GO!

18 Another Angela 08.16.07 at 5:28 pm

Was that a guinea-pig-shaped black hole in that video?

19 chrissy 08.16.07 at 5:32 pm

i looooove guineapigs <3 they´ve got personality O_O

20 CuteRules 08.16.07 at 5:34 pm

Warning: they may look soft and fuzzy, but they are actually feriocious beasts that will defend their cucumbers! (lol)

21 Khadija 08.16.07 at 5:37 pm

(funeral music playing in the background)

“we have come together to mourn the death of Khadouj who passed away from watching three lil piglettes fighting for a cucumber”

22 musicchick2 08.16.07 at 5:39 pm

Too funny! I’m not very educated in the behaviors of piggalettes or hamsters, etc. So this cracked me up! Very distinct personalities and attitudes! Hilarious!

23 Shadyman 08.16.07 at 5:40 pm

I think it’s funny, the videographer is trying not to laugh and snorgle these guys at the same time.

I had a similar experience with a herd of gerbils and the butt end of a loaf of sourdough bread.

24 gowhitepig! 08.16.07 at 5:45 pm

THAT was hilarious! add it to the list of pics/videos from cute overload that i’ll be passing along to my friends. ha!

just a spoonful of pigs-eatin-cucumbers makes the medicine go down…

25 liz 08.16.07 at 5:57 pm

the EEE-vil giggling in the background is too much! poor piggies! fighting for their dinner. I see that you have too much to handle there, I will be glad to take them off your hands and will give them a good home where they can each have their own cucumber.
Hammie-fighting is wrong and it must be stopped…
I’m callin the cops.

26 Way Cool Groovy Chick 08.16.07 at 5:58 pm

This reminds me of Dot Racing, but with much cuter dots. This would really get the crowds going at baseball games.

27 Lisa 08.16.07 at 6:04 pm

Oh, God, that was funny! I loved when the white piggy FINALLY got the cuke, then the red one took it away. White piggie looked like, “WTF, bish?? Oh, no you DIN’T!”

28 skatch 08.16.07 at 6:09 pm

i hate this. why do you make me watch these things about these peegs. i absolutely hate it.

29 Sara 08.16.07 at 6:11 pm

that’s a piggy little chestnut piggy ;) go white piggy go!

reminds me of my chickens fighting over grapes- except they squawk when being chased..

30 zeldapie 08.16.07 at 6:22 pm

Woo hoo! I was rooting for the white piggy! Hurray!

31 smitty 08.16.07 at 6:25 pm

gimme.

no, gimME.

GIMME!

GIM-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

32 Shannon Johnson 08.16.07 at 6:44 pm

I think the one will win.

33 mariser 08.16.07 at 6:50 pm

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!!!! ponies!!! eleventy1111!!!.
after two years and dozens of submissions,
I CAN HAZ CUTEOVERLOAD!!!

[dances]

34 Maureen G 08.16.07 at 6:52 pm

I had an experience like this once in a bar, with three good ole boys and some baby back ribs.

35 bigc 08.16.07 at 6:54 pm

redhedz r fiesty

36 Darsa 08.16.07 at 7:04 pm

I was kinda hoping the black and white would collab and overtake the brown… ;)

37 HeidStar 08.16.07 at 7:05 pm

Who will win? One thing is certain it won’t be the cuke.

38 terra 08.16.07 at 7:12 pm

ooh ooh! they’re so bossy. I must have the red one!

39 Ann 08.16.07 at 7:13 pm

Go Guinea, Go! Ehn!

40 jackie 08.16.07 at 7:22 pm

Whoaa the red pig is a little bitch!

41 Yes, my name is really Cricket 08.16.07 at 7:42 pm

So a blonde, brunette and a redhead all see a cucumber… ::gigglesnort!::

42 otamajakushi 08.16.07 at 7:59 pm

They remind me of my kids! They all want what the other one has. I’m tempted to put all those lil’ pigs into time out, then chop up the cucumber so they can each have some after they all *deep breath* calm…. down….

43 Suzanne 08.16.07 at 8:05 pm

I agree with Ms Pants…the cuke hit the black piggeh in the tush, therefore it is the black piggeh’s. But apparently there is no law of primogeniture (or is that primogenitush) with piggehs.

44 Brak_Silverbone 08.16.07 at 8:23 pm

And then fisticuffs broke out.

(I just love that word. Fisticuffs.)

45 Kar 08.16.07 at 8:30 pm

I gotta agree. Next time take two seconds to chop it into pieces.

That looked like something from the Roman Coliseum. Three lions with one Christian.

46 Annie 08.16.07 at 8:51 pm

YMNICricket ROFLMHO Giggle snort and then some.

47 lurkertype 08.16.07 at 8:52 pm

!YAY! to Mariser!

finally! after two years, one of the (practically) Founding Peeps gets a submishe!

This piggeh scrum is qte.

48 Silent Meow 08.16.07 at 8:54 pm

If I didn’t have videos like this one, I would have a much harder time getting through my months of physical therapy.

One good laugh at this kind of video helps me to, momentarily at least, forget how grueling it is.

Thank you so much for posting stuff like this, and keep it coming!

49 Silent Meow 08.16.07 at 8:58 pm

For some reason, I keep replaying over and over the part where the black one gets hit in the butt with the cuke, and dying laughing. LMAO

50 A thinker 08.16.07 at 8:58 pm

I’d say it’s Cinnamon Pig by a nose.

White and Black tied for second place.

51 Aubrey 08.16.07 at 9:05 pm

And after the battle, all they wanted to do was re-cuke-erate.

52 Pheas 08.16.07 at 9:10 pm

PIGGEH DEATHMATCH

Cute v. Cuke

(Cuke, don’t make any weekend plans!)

53 Silent Meow 08.16.07 at 9:29 pm

Would the pigs have done this if they each had their own cuke?

54 rebs 08.16.07 at 9:59 pm

Wow. That brown piggie really made me mad. Go black piggie!

55 Annie 08.16.07 at 10:10 pm

Silent Meow: of course they would still do it if they all had some of them. Then it would be all yours is bigger than mine want want want hehehe. BTW YIMP ~C>

56 mm 08.16.07 at 10:17 pm

This made my day! I miss the piggie I had growing up. :)

57 Silent Meow 08.16.07 at 10:51 pm

Annie,

Thanks, btw, for the encouragement with the YIMP.

I wonder, if each cuke piece were scientifically accurately, with the aid of medical-grade scientific laboratory instruments, and examined with an electron microscope and found to be accurate in every single way and dimension, sliced to be EXACTLY THE SAME in weight, height, width, length, and whatever other measurements, down to the particles in an atom, would the piggehs still fight like this?

Or, perhaps, would they perceive some hallucinatory or imaginatory difference and fight over that?

58 Silent Meow 08.16.07 at 10:57 pm

the white pig is saying, “Hey, cinna-pig, you’re making a pig of yourself!”

59 leannrose 08.16.07 at 10:57 pm

I just watched the video for the second time (at work, no less) and it’s still so cute! That red one doesn’t want to share with his buddies! Makes me want a piggie of my own…they look so soft!

60 Yitzysmommie 08.16.07 at 11:21 pm

Couldn’t watch at work. Was worth the wait, laughed out loud and will ***force***DH to watch when he gets home.
MARISER – YOU GO!! Way to get on CO!!

61 Tor 08.16.07 at 11:39 pm

I love how the drama unfolds, so that by the end they are in your face and the snickering is fully audible.

62 Yummy 08.17.07 at 12:21 am

Chocolate vanilla and strawberry!

63 sean 08.17.07 at 12:31 am

If ever there was a guinea pig video that was made for the Rocky theme music it was SOOOO obviously the clip of “Baby Guinea Pig Going Up Stairs” that showed up in the related videos after I viewed that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6TPur8qgOY

Three guinea pigs and one cuke might be more Star Trek Fight Theme.

64 oaklandcat 08.17.07 at 12:46 am

tuna dance for Mariser!

65 Charlie 08.17.07 at 1:10 am

Well done Angels

Show that little cucumber what you’ve got!

66 Amber 08.17.07 at 1:16 am

Oops…nad shot…

67 MoJo 08.17.07 at 1:18 am

This video can only be improved with — HAMSTER DANCE THEME MUSIC! I got my mostly-cute-o-phobe husband giggling and bopping (almost cute enough to distract from the vid… almost…)

ENJOY, ENJOY THE CUTENESS

68 norty 08.17.07 at 1:31 am

ok, this is a little off topic, but I was thinking to myself, “self, what you really need is a Roofies update.”
and then I got to thinking some more, and thought… “yup, that’s just what I need”.
then I thought some more and started figuring… other people probably need some little Roofies’ pics too….
pretty much that’s all I thought at work today.

69 piglet 08.17.07 at 1:38 am

Color-coded g-pigs. Brilliant.

70 Annie 08.17.07 at 1:50 am

Hey Norty What in the world is a roofies. I am guessing it isn’t pictures of roof samples. IS it like calling guinea pigs cavi’s???? HAlp need enlightenment????

71 Indy's Mom 08.17.07 at 2:10 am

Yay Mariser! Those piggehs look totally anime. Adorabubble!

72 Indy's Mom 08.17.07 at 2:10 am

Yay Mariser! Those piggehs look totally anime. Adorabubble!

76 Indy's Mom 08.17.07 at 2:10 am

Yay Mariser! Those piggehs look totally anime. Adorabubble!

77 Kar 08.17.07 at 2:22 am

It’s kind of got a “Battle of Kruger” vibe to it. Especially when they flip the cuke.

78 Fred 08.17.07 at 2:36 am

Roofies is the gorgeous dog Meg and Sparky sometimes puppysit and I think he goes to Sparky’s work????? Memory is a bit fuzzy.

79 Summer 08.17.07 at 2:39 am

At least with my two piggies, it doesn’t matter if they have exactly identical pieces of what the other is eating… they want what the other has. Always. Coco will be *munch munch munch* on her piece of lettuce then notice Puff has a piece of lettuce to, drop hers and waddle over to try to pull it out of Puffs mouth… and vice versa… round & round they go!

80 Annie 08.17.07 at 3:23 am

Thanks Fred I was hoping it wasn’t what the urban dictionary said. I am all for puppy pictures. but totally against the other thing.

81 Shannon 08.17.07 at 3:56 am

They fight so politely!!

82 Alexis 08.17.07 at 4:16 am

Aww, I love the pigs! And yes, guinea pig nutters are giant relative to the size of the animal. My boyfriend use to call my guinea pig Zippy “Monkeynutz” (rest in peace, Turkey Leg — his other nickname).

Go mariser! I just submitted a couple of pics of my new polydactyl kitteh. I can only hope to achieve your level of fame. (Though this is only my first submission after almost 2 years of viewing, so my hopes are not too high.)

83 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 08.17.07 at 6:04 am

I think there sculpting their own version of mount Rushmore out of cuke.

84 Subhangi 08.17.07 at 6:22 am

THREE LEETLE PEEGS! SQUEEEEEEEE!!!

Go Mariser! Woo hoo!

85 tuc 08.17.07 at 8:31 am

HAHA, I love how the guy behind the camera is trying not to giggle too loud all the time. In the end it seems to get pretty hard *hehe*

86 Brethil 08.17.07 at 8:37 am

awwwwwww!!!! I wants me some piggles, but current apt doesn’t allow pets… piggles are just the silliest, sweetest, steal-your-heart-and-giggle-merrily-away lil critters imaginable… Evidence #1, this vid.

Your honour, I believe we need a new category just for guinea piglettes and pigdudes, plzthx!

87 Saint Stryfe 08.17.07 at 9:46 am

Suzanne: Primogeniture? The right of an estate to go to the first born son? This seems more of a fight over the inheritance of the cucumber. A good person would split it – in the way Alexander did, or would give it exclusively to one Piggy, but I see bitter fighting. Sad. Can’t Piggehs just get along?

88 kk3 08.17.07 at 10:21 am

I too was voting for whitey! He is the smallest and certainly seemed to be getting the least amount of the cuke!

89 mariaS 08.17.07 at 11:48 am

hmmm, it might be stimulation for the hams, but it still reminds me of dog fighting. Maybe it’s the “squared circle” touch that makes me nervous.

90 Ypsidixit 08.17.07 at 12:01 pm

Animalphiles: “shared kernel plan” (snort!)

I was rooting for Mr. Timid White Guy as he sought to wheedle away the cuke from Mr. Big Brown Brute. Yay!–he finally got it!

The barely suppressed laughter of the person video-ing had me doing the same. Silly piggies!

91 NYgirly 08.17.07 at 12:12 pm

I don’t know what’s cracking me up more:

1. the videographer trying to stifle her maniacal giggling ~NOT!
2. the almost imperceptible *bonk* noise the cucumber makes when it gets chux0red into the fray
~or~
3. those of you perverse folk getting your peegie pr0n on–and you know who you are *arches right eyebrow sharply*

92 NYgirly 08.17.07 at 12:45 pm

Get your peeg pr0n on at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub3sX3praGE

93 JT 08.17.07 at 12:51 pm

Ohhhh… this video brought back memories of childhood. The brown is my sister, the black my cousin and the food deprived felow is me… *sigh*

94 jen 08.17.07 at 1:35 pm

awww, that lil brown piggy is hogging the cuke.

fun action, but i hope after the filming was over, the owner cut the cuke in 3 equal parts for fair piggy consideration.

i love the close up shots at the end. i felt submerged with the piggehs! cute cute!!!

95 Megan 08.17.07 at 2:23 pm

Wow, right out of the starting gate we get some clear evidence that the white one is male. LOL

I love the expressions on their faces. This was too cute!

96 blair 08.17.07 at 2:27 pm

WE won.

97 faye 08.17.07 at 3:08 pm

So cute XD
The brown guine pig won the cucumber!!!
How long did it last ?

98 Theresa 08.17.07 at 3:20 pm

Next time you don’t want to eat your veggies, remember these leetle piggies throwing down for the cuke. :P

99 WHEEEEEEEEEEEK 08.17.07 at 3:37 pm

PIGWEENIES r00l!

…oh, and it wouldn’t matter if the cuke was cut into three pieces, each would want the piece the other has and chaos would ensue, only with two lonely cuke pieces waiting to be devoured.

100 claudia 08.17.07 at 4:19 pm

haha so cute.. but was it necessary to HUCK the cuke at them? LOL!!!!!

101 Marci 08.17.07 at 6:29 pm

The black one was trying so hard to be sneaky. Piggie with ninja-fu!

102 pat_the_bunny 08.17.07 at 8:08 pm

Looks like the Big Red One is the alpha piggy here!

103 libbayy 08.17.07 at 10:52 pm

diddo kiddo

=D

104 Jenna 08.18.07 at 1:34 am

My money’s on the ginger!!

105 Trinky dink 08.18.07 at 12:35 pm

The best part is the way the cuke comes flying in at the beginning. . .couldn’t stop laughing. Kept thinking “kamakazi cuke”

106 Kal 08.18.07 at 1:01 pm

xD First time I saw my guinea pig, she was stealing food out of the mouth of another pig.

Funny how the black one flipped the cucumber upward (near the middle of the video).

107 Serras 08.18.07 at 3:50 pm

Anyone notice how the black an white bonked noses as the brown sweeps a stunning lift off w/ the cucumber towards the end?^v^

108 Tugs 08.20.07 at 6:04 am

Every time I give one of my guinea pigs a baby carrot or slice of apple, she grabs it and swings it back and forth, usually hitting my other pig in the face. They also steal food from each other before they realize that they are each getting a piece. There is nothing cuter or sillier than a g-pig. (Of course there are plenty of animals “as” cute and silly!)

109 Andrea 08.26.07 at 11:20 pm

that nutmeg colored one is greedy haha

110 Kara 08.27.07 at 8:55 pm

It’s true, all of it. No matter what I give them. Lettuce, cuke, carrot, apple, anyfink. Two of mine a few years ago were fighting over a carrot, and one was so determined for the other not to get it that she picked it up in her mouth and lobbed it behind herself. o_O I’ve yet to see a pig do this anywhere else.
