"Daffodils" Guinea Pig Mug

Daffodils

Guinea pigs, or Cavies, originate in South America and are thought to have been domesticated in Peru more than 3000 years ago, meaning they are no longer found in the wild. Despite this, they retained some of their prey characteristics to protect themselves in the home, such as 340 degree vision and teeth/nails that never stop growing. Oh, and when they’re happy they twist and leap in the air, otherwise known as “popcorning”.

Darcy and Luna are just two guinea pigs, squeaking at their hooman, telling them they’re hungry...

Darcy and Luna Designs was born after our founder and artist, Milly, lost her two beloved guinea pigs. They were her friends when she was lonely, her entertainment when she was sad, her reason to get up when she just wanted to stay in bed. If this wasn’t reason enough, then the fact that guinea pigs are the most underrated pet is!

This made her think - what other underrated animals are out there? Darcy and Luna Designs is all about paying homage to those animals that are just as adorable as dogs, elephants, hedgehogs and donkeys, just a little more… alternative!
