Enjoy The Cutest Video Of 2020 Showing The Moment Zoo Keepers Groomed Guinea Pigs In Tokyo Zoo

The Inokashira Park Zoo in Tokyo is not only popular for its conservation program. The zoo also gives visitors a nice big pond to enjoy. But if you're like me, the soothing beauty of nature wouldn't be enough to keep you nice and relaxed. You will want to get a little closer and observe what's happening behind the scenes.

Since 1987, Inokashira Park Zoo has allowed visitors to get closer to its rodent when their popular guinea pig petting area was opened. But because no one likes to pet a dirty pig, the zookeepers always ensure that the guinea pigs are kept nice and clean by washing their fur twice a year.

Now thanks to Twitter, you don't need to visit Tokyo in order to watch how the zoo keepers pamper the guinea pigs. You can just relax and watch this amazing video at the comfort of your home.

In this short video shared on twitter, every step of the process is shown - from the shampoo to the blow dry. Even the footage showing when the zookeepers are scrubbing at their roots and the guinea pigs remaining still as if they’ve transcended to ultimate relaxation mode is shown.

Some pet parents will tell you that many small exotic pets don’t enjoy being washed but, based on this video, there are, of course, exceptions. So don't be too surprised at how calm the guinea pigs remained throughout the whole grooming process.

Instead, if you've been having a stressful week and would want to unwind by seeing some adorable critters getting groomed, this video is perfect. Don’t worry if cute creatures are not your thing. Inokashira Park Zoo has plenty of other animals to enjoy too, including the King of the Monsters!

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...
