holding guinea pigs

I’ve had my piggies for about a month now (I rescued them from a shelter and they are both about 5 months old) and at first things were progressing at a steady rate. I didn’t hold them or try to touch them for the first few days, and they started eating out of my hand very quickly. When I...
