I'm sooo nervous handling my two guinea pigs, had them about 5 weeks. I'm trying to hold them so they get used to it but one in particular squirms and tries to jump out my hands every time! So worried I drop them or they escape and run off (and itll take me forever to catch them again) what do i do? Want to get them used to handling so eventually my 7 year old can sit with one in her lap? But they literally look fora way to escape and hide everytime!
