Health check

[Ramia]

Can someone post a picture of how they hold their guinea pig for health checks? I guess I thought holding them from above caused them to wriggle more and was like a bird of prey and Chez is a screamer.

Just want to do it right.

I just used to place my piggies on a safe flat surface, place one hand on their back to keep them steady and then just feel around for any lumps or bumps with the other hand. To check their belly, nipples and teeth etc, I would sit down and hold them back first against my stomach or get someone else to check them while I held them.

Sorry, I know longer have piggies so can’t take any photos but I hope you get my gist x
