    Nervous pig?

    Hi! I am a New Guinea Pig owner. I have 4 Guinea Pigs and 3 of them let me hold them and don't struggle. They aren't frozen and seem pretty relaxed when I hold them aside from the fact that they breathe pretty fast as if they are nervous. Are they just sniffing around to see what's going on? And...

    Gaining Our New Pups' Trust - Did We Mess It Up?!

    My husband and I are guinea pig parents for the first time! We bought 2 4-month old girls 3 days ago. We got them from Petsmart and they are not used to human contact really at all (from what the employee told us). The night we bought them we put them in their cage and left them alone all night...

    Make My Guinea Pigs Trust Me?

    Hello! I'm just wondering if its normal that my guinea pigs still dont trust me after about three weeks? They dont come up to me or accept their favourite foods from my hand. And they never come out when I'm by their cage. And i would also LOVE some tips on how to bond with them more, (two...
