Junior Guinea Pig
I am a new owner of two piggies who are less than a a year old. They are half the size of an adult. My first question is about handling the pigs. I have had them for almost a week and try do not trust me so it's not easy to pick them up. They don't like being picked up either. Should I continue to pick them up even if they don't like it? Will they just get use to it? They squeal and squirm and I hate to see them do that. Secondly, one of my pigs is a lot more terrified than the other. During play time she usually finds the darkest spot on the floor an hides and won't let me get close to her unless I have food. How do I go about getting her to be social? Do I take away her hiding areas? Do I approach her or let her hide?
