Junior Guinea Pig
Hey all
I've had my 4 girls a month now and already they've come on so well, when I first got them they came from a breeder and were in smaller hutches, they now have an open 6x2 c and c cage all to themselves.
They hid for the first few days but now a month in they come out if I'm sat down by them and are a lot more confident. However they are still incredibly skitty, they'll bolt if I walk in or anything frightens them, which I know is totally natural and will happen for some time.
I've only had two adult boars in the past who were tame not so skitty, it's a new experience having baby piggies for me ! I don't want to do anything wrong or scare them further, it's hard to be very slow and quiet round them but I am trying!
My question is, was there a point when your piggies really settled and didn't try and move like roadrunner every time you went past their cage? I haven't handled them a massive amount as I want to give them my undivided attention which is split between many things currently.
Thanks in advance guys x
