Teenage Guinea Pig
Ive had my guinea pigs for 2 weeks 1 day now and have been really struggling to pick them up and hold them. Last week I started with lap time, but I have to wait for them to run into the snuggle sack or tunnel and then put them on my lap in that. Every time I tried to pick them up they seemed terrified and ran away too much, so I stopped rather than traumatising them (rather making do with just stroking them in the snuggle sack).
Yesterday I had them out for floor time and actually managed to hold Nia for a few min before putting them back in their cage. Tonight I held nia again, for slightly longer, and actually managed to hold Patches for a few minutes too! Cant tell you how excited I feel. Feels like a major breakthrough.
