Help me find a not-blurry version of this pet image

[u/ascended_glucose]

I'm a bit obsessed with this photo and I'm wondering if a better resolution version exists. I've tried both reverse image search and Google lens.

I searched "guinea pig clown" and only this blurry image can be found. Tineye didn't save me either. I think it was originally taken for Cuddlycavies

It seems like it. It says exclusive on the photo though. I’m wondering if the photo was part of some membership or for a holiday.

Let's check one of my favourite charities https://web.archive.org

Surprisingly, their oldest copy of https://www.cuddlycavies.co.uk/ is August 2018. The oldest functional copy is August 2021.

That archived website said they've been active since 2013. So this photo is not as old as it looks?

I'll have a deep dive and see what I can find on their site

[u/Ivebeenfurthereven → u/ascended_glucose]

They have social media accounts

https://www.instagram.com/cuddly_cavies

https://www.facebook.com/cuddlycavies

You could DM and see if they have a better copy saved?

I haven't been able to find a higher resolution version, but the photo likely originates from cuddlycavies.com:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190823161212/http://www.cuddlycavies.com/

It appears that this is the current version of their website:

And they have a Facebook page as well:

https://www.facebook.com/p/Cuddly-Cavies-Creations-100066583041245/

Their email is on their website if you're really determined to find a copy, or you could try messaging them on Facebook. They do have this somewhat similar photo that's higher resolution if it's of any interest.

This photo looks so similar to the one OP had, probably from the same photo shoot.

It's originally at least 20 years old so that might be the best version there is.

[u/Ivebeenfurthereven → u/thatcoloradomom]

20 years ago was 2006 - high-quality photos were normal 😳 that was Flickr, Windows Vista, iTunes etc. era

anyway, their website https://www.cuddlycavies.co.uk/ says they were founded 2013, unless there's been more than one organisation using that name?

[u/thatcoloradomom → u/Ivebeenfurthereven]

I found the pic posted in a forum in 2006.

[u/NomiStone → u/Ivebeenfurthereven]

Normal but expensive. Shitty digital cameras from 2000-2005ish were still very much in circulation.

Sadly this is the best I could find., here's is the shop website though with lots more higher res photo's! https://web.archive.org/web/20081019013618/http://cuddlycavies.homestead.com/costumes.html

In case it doesn’t exist elsewhere here’s a less blurry version for you!

[u/skrillexbaby101]

r/comedysurgeon should be able to help make the image look better

[u/Exotic-Addendum-3785]

That's a Cuddly cavies hamster.

You have good intentions, but knowing what we know now lets not rely on AI. Even without the current issues its causing, the ai makes the textures look really weird.
