As TikTok stars, guinea pigs are completely at ease in their roles. What began as a means to assist a grandfather in Tasmania with the cutting of his lawns has now exploded into a phenomenon on TikTok. 

What is a guinea pig?

The guinea pig, often known as the domestic guinea pig, belongs to the mouse family.

The owner of 37 pet guinea pigs, Steven Ransley, has constructed a miniature hamlet for them.

The hamlet is replete with homes, picnic tables and chairs, a water tank, a well, and a station for chopping wood.

Key facts!

• “We needed something to keep the grass down in here because it takes me eight hours to snip all of this,” the owner of the guinea pigs stated.
•  The owner who had recently retired, brought in over 500 wheelbarrows’ worth of rock and mud over the course of four months.
• He then spent an additional five months building everything in his unique guinea pig village, which he named GuineaVale.
• The animals at GuineaVale are allowed to roam freely within a big enclosure.
• The enclosure is surrounded by a fruit orchard and is surrounded by fences.
• The owner’s grandchildren inspired him to start filming TikTok videos of his guinea pigs around a year ago.
•  And he has been posting them on the app ever since.
• It’s only gotten bigger and bigger, he added.
• “The views are starting to climb into the tens and hundreds of thousands or millions,” he said.
• “The guinea pigs enjoy the concept that they’ve got all this space to wander around in and that even though they’re not wild, they are sort of wild,” he said.
• The village has been really successful, claims the owner.
• He claimed that everybody who came down here would just sit since the atmosphere was so relaxing.
• The owner also expressed the hope that his grandchildren will one day think of him in connection with GuineaVale.
