HD/UHD
Guinea Pig Diaries reveals the special bond between humans and their pet guinea
pigs, providing stories more compelling than we could ever have imagined. Our
relationship with this small furry animal has been part of the domesticated pet culture
for centuries. This film provides a rare and unfiltered look into the lives of these often
misunderstood rodents and the people who adore them, breed them and rescue
them.

From the largest rescue organisations in Europe and America to breeders who attend
the largest guinea pig show in Bavaria, the film offers entertaining and heartwarming
stories from a variety of International locations. The activities of YouTube influencers
are also examined together with an insight into a unique guinea pig hotel in the United
Kingdom, all backed up with commentary from one of the world’s leading animal
behaviourists, Dr. Anne McBride.

Dr. McBride has long studied the human-guinea pig connection and givesa fascinating
insight into our understanding of what life is actually like from this little animal’s point of
view. Her keen wit matched with her examination of the intriguing guinea pig is both
important and enlightening.

Filmed throughout Europe and North America, Guinea Pig Diaries takes you below
the surface of what makes these small animals so appealing and at the same time
offers insights into how to best respect and look after them. As Anne McBride says,
“It’s simple, just lower your body down and begin to visualise life from a guinea pig’s
perspective. You might be surprised at what you see.”
