Junior Guinea Pig
I'm posting on here because although my piggies are not new I feel we have gone backwards. One has always been really shy and doesn't seem to be making any progress. The other was fine although hates being picked up but she has started too being very jumpy when I'm near and chatters a lot at me when she thinks I'm going to pick her up. I am hoping she's just grumpy as about 9mths old but it's worrying me a lot and each time I go near now I don't know if she's going to accept me that day or tell me to stay away. So rather than stress her out by keep picking her up I thought I'd go back to the start. Slow steps. Treats evert time they see me. No picking up unless I have to and get her used to strokes again with no fear... also with the other one n see if I get anywhere. Anyone else had similar issues in mood changes? I have to pick them both up later today for hair cuts which I am completely dreading! I have been very gentle and haven't a clue why the sudden change. They haven't been spooked or anything
