It might seem unlikely that a naked guinea pig from Poland would hold the secret to happiness, but when it comes to Ludwik, he's completely on point: It's FOOD and NAPS.
He's so enamored with his favorite foods, in fact, that he's taken to modeling with them, a feat that is evident on his extensive Instagram account. And it's clear that he has his preferences:

Broccoli ...

... plums ...

... and his very favorite, mint leaves.

Instagram/ludwik_guinea_pigDuring his shoots, he snacks on even more treats, says his mom, Agata Nowacka, who studies business and political science in Warsaw.

This is, of course, tiring.

Instagram/ludwik_guinea_pig"He seems to enjoy his photo session, and sometimes he even falls asleep, so I think he feels very comfortable," Agata tells The Dodo.
"What is funny about Ludwik is the fact that he can fall asleep even during his vet's appointment," she says. "He could sleep all the time. He could spend most of his day in his blue polar blanket on my lap."

Cue possible love interest.

Ludwik shortly after Agata brought him homeInstagram/ludwik_guinea_pig"When I first saw him at that pet store he was so poor and so skinny," Agata says. "He didn't look like chubby Ludwik from Instagram photos."
He took about six months to get better, Agata says, because he even had a bacterial infection in his eye.
But now, life is good.

He enjoys fashionable sweaters ...

... jaunts outside to smell, um, eat the flowers ...

... and, of course, his mom, who gives him lots of pets and kisses.
