Junior Guinea Pig
Hi, I’m a first time guinea pig owner and my first time on this forum! Yesterday we brought home two lovely Abyssinian boars, they are 8 weeks old. They are currently still hiding in their wooden house full of hay. One of them is bigger than the other and scurries away when you open the roof of their house to check on them, whereas the smaller of the pair doesn’t run away he sits there and lets you stroke him. Should I be worried that he’s so quiet and placid. I’ve got it into my head that he is ill which is why he is not skittish like the bigger brother? I’ve been trying to disturb them as little as possible to let them get used to their new surroundings etc as I understand they’ll be very scared. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help X
