Junior Guinea Pig
Our baby boars, Adric and Fitz, are nearly 3 months old now. They are happy and healthy and friendly. They eat from my hand and can sometimes be stroked. Once picked up, they are snuggly and chatty and very content to sit on a lap. What they do not like though is actually being caught.
We tried the 'pick them up in a tunnel' trick but they soon learnt not to hang around in tunnels! They just run away when you try and catch them. They are getting smart too and know where they are most easily caught!
Is it beacauae they are young that they run away? If so, at what age do they settle down and become easier to catch? I ask because I want to make their cage bigger and a bigger cage will make it even harder to catch them.
