Meet Linus, The Adorable Guinea Pig

While most people opt for dogs or cats when it comes to getting a new pet, others go another route. Indeed, there are countless other types of domesticated animals that you can choose to bring into your home, and sometimes it just takes a little thinking outside of the box to make it happen. Linus the guinea pig is proof that not only is it possible to adopt all kinds of unorthodox pets, but they can also be some of the cutest things imaginable.

Just take a look at this adorable little creature. From Linus’ cute, chubby cheeks to his soft, furry white hair, we really can’t get enough of this little guy. It’s no surprise to us that the owner created an Instagram account for him because clearly, they knew (and rightfully so) that others would want to know him.

So far, Linus has over 5,000 followers on Instagram—not too shabby for a guinea pig! If you’re someone who simply melts for cute little pets, you’ll absolutely love following Linus the guinea pig’s account. After all, who wouldn’t want to wake up to an Instagram post of that scrumptious face? Okay, maybe we’re getting a little excited. Scratch that—we stand by our word.
