LOOK: This Season's Must-Have For Guinea Pigs? A Suit Of Armour (PICS)

A tip of the hat to both our American cousins at Huffington Post Weird News and those at msnNOW for alerting us to the most exciting item on eBay right now.

The chainmail suit and helmet is up for auction on eBay because - very sadly - Lucky has passed away.

"In his honor and memory," writes eBayer mightys0x, "any money from this auction (after Ebay fees) will go to the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue in Virginia."
