Red-Eyed Guinea Pig Appreciation Day is celebrated on the 9th of October, and brings awareness and appreciation of all guinea pigs that have red or pink eyes. It is celebrated worldwide.

Year of Origin

Red-Eyed Guinea Pig Appreciation Day was created and initiated in 2024 by Guinea Pigs Australia.

How it is Celebrated?

Red-Eyed Guinea Pig Appreciation Day is celebrated across various social media platforms and accounts in the form of people's shared photos, videos and stories of their own red-eyed guinea pigs. People share their guinea pig's name, give a bit of background on where they came from and what their personality is like. It is a positive day filled with lots of pride and love for these type of guinea pigs.

Why Is It Celebrated?

Red-eyed guinea pigs are often overlooked, particularly at guinea pig rescues and shelters when they are available for adoption. People are often unnerved by red-eyed animals which has led to these creatures being overlooked and not considered. General opinion in guinea pig circles concludes that red-eyed guinea pigs can be incredibly sweet in nature with lots of endearing qualities and personalities. Red-Eyed Guinea Pig Appreciation Day was established to acknowledge this and bring positive awareness to these unique small animals.
