Hi! So, I adopted two female guinea pigs on the 15th March, and since then I've been working on taming them and stuff, but I'm not having much luck so far.
From the place I got them, where they were "Free to a good home" the lady owned a farm and had many many many other guinea pigs, so I'm not really sure if they've had a great past. They are sisters and littermates and are 18 months old. They will come up to me and eat out of my hand, I can get my hand right up close to them, but as soon as I touch either one of them a little, they freak and run away.
In their cage, when I touch either one they will either run into the tube or the yellow house.
They do wheek when I'm there, but not nearly as much as they do when I'm not. What can I do to earn my piggies trust and be able to pet them? Truffles eating a carrot from me
Truffles (left) and Nutmeg (right) eating some grass and clover from my hand
They seem rather comfortable around me but I just can't pet them Any suggestions?
