Vera Megorskaya’s felted guinea pig animals look like furry little shrunken down versions of real guinea pigs, complete with the cutest details like tiny ears, spots and beady little eyes. These markings give the guinea pigs loads of personality, and if you send Vera a picture of your guinea pig, she will even work to replicate your pet in felt. This is a sweet way to always remind you of your furry friend. These [tiny needle-felted animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-mals) are handcrafted by Vera in Russia.
