    I just got my guinea pig, I'm really excited but nervous.
    Update: Since a lot of people asked, we couldn't properly take care of her, and some other stuff happened, so we gave her away to a family who already had two guinea pigs and shes been doing amazing!!!

      @@milkshake8845 I was responding under the context of, "what if I want to hold them when they are hiding in there hut". You may be able to do it with your guinea pig when they are comfortable being around you but if you try and snatch them while they are hiding in a place they feel safe they will be terrified and that outways the desire to pick them up in my opinion.

    Me and my boyfriend got ourselves two guinea pigs pretty recently, only 3 weeks old. We were told by the lady at the pet store, who have many guinea pigs herself, to leave tha cage open and not have any hiding spots for the piggies out. This way, they will get used to you roaming around more easily, and will in general be more accepting towards your movements.
    We made sure they had plenty of hay in a corner to hide in, but other than that nothing. It worked for us, after only one week they show great trust. They have hiding huts now but are not glued to them. Just thought I'd let people know, since it seems normal to give them a hiding space from the beginning, and I honestly think this will make the process of bonding with them much slower.

    • @CopleyOne
      @CopleyOne 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @achlys.the.powerful.therian. It was going great! We expanded their cage so much that we could both sit down with them in there and give them treats and cuddles. They loved climbing all over us. Sadly, my partner developed asthma as well as allergies due to them, so in the end we had to give them away. They’re with some family members of mine now on Naboo, loving life with lots of love every day! But they’ll be forever missed by the entire staff here on the Death Star.

    I'm new to owning piggies, but my 2 girls ended up being beyond skittish when I brought them home last week. Started prepping their veggie bowl in front of them while talking to them (whisper/gently) and playing rainfall sounds before feeding them. Then I sit w/ them for an hour or so just watching them eat/communicate. Massive improvements seen, now when I come out they're popcorning and wheeking instead of just sitting in their hut. They (mine) do NOT like being held for more than 2 minutes, though.

    I just got my guinea pig yesterday, but he keeps running away from me! His name is Moca and all he does is stay in his little house... and doesn't eat his food! :( This has helped me a lot and I hope this works! He doesn't have a mate yet, but I'll show my mom this. Thank you so much!

    I'm going to have to give this a try...
    I've had two really tamed guinea pigs in the past. One which recently passed, and have been trying to introduce two new ones... However they are a lot more skittish and very territorial to my older guinea... I've had to keep them separate and they are every scared towards me.
    I'll admit I've been a little frustrated. Especially with other people in the house causing more issues with the progression when I do try to take it slow... It's either I have to put them on lock down with only contact with me for a while trying this out (cause the other house hold members refuse to listen) or give them up to the rescue I got them from.
    Not their fault. They're just young and I've never dealt with such wild piggies before. Can't treat them like my other one.
    I'll give this a try and see how things go. Just feels like rolling a bolder up hill already! :c

      I just got two guinea pigs. They dont bite, but you have to be really patient. When i try to pick them up, they hop away or run away. What you have to do it get them into a small corner and then lock it off, then scoops them up. Hold them firmly and they will realize it is not so bad.

      guinea pigs don't bite, biting is their absolute last resort they're the most docile animals ive ever seen. you're doing something wrong, if she's alone then she's most likely depressed and lonely, get her a friend and she'll start coming out of her shell. don't chase her around and pick her up when she's terrified and running away, give her space. handfeed her some vegetables like romaine lettuce, parsley or bell pepper. she needs to understand that your hands aren't a threat and means food, take it slow and try to pet her nose at first, as she gets used to you and your hands then you can try to pick her up, once you've picked her up hold her as long as possible. being grabbed from the sky is stressful so it's best for her to associate it with food and being fed, floortime. etc, good things. make sure to support their feet and hold them against your chest so they feel secure. Be patient, it might take her some time but once she gets used to you and being held guinea pigs are very sweet, give her time and keep with it. :)

    I've had my guinea pigs for about 2 months and they're still not used to me. They hide whenever I get off my bed, they run away every time I try to hand feed them or give them food, and whenever I try to pet them, they run away. It honestly hurts because I try to create a bond with them, I did every tip on this video, but it still doesn't work... I've given it time, I've been patient, but I just can't gain their trust...

      Hi! I got my guinea pigs 1 week ago, I was also feeling a bit sad as one of my guinea pigs bit me 2 times. They let me pet them,feed them and wash them which is a good start. I want to teach them to run around the house but not scaring them like I'm leaving them. So I created a time table for everyday to show them around the house it gets better slowly and remember if you get them at a small age like my they will grow to love and remember you keep talking to them and petting them😊❤

    Thanks for the tips, We bought a guinea pig for my daughter for her birthday. The guinea pig seems to be scared of us, runs away and looks to be shaking because of fear.
    The pet shop we purchased the animal from had a no holding the animals policy because of COVID-19. The animal never really had any interactions except the vet visit to clear the animal for purchase.
