Cozen
New Born Pup
I think I mishandled my Guinea these first few days of getting my guinea pig from a pet store at a mall. I researched, and many have said that do not force to touch or pick up them since they are new to the surroundings but I also read that force handling is also a good tactic for guineas to let them know you. I pick up my guinea pig in her hide and let her roam around my bed at first. But now I just pick her in a short period of time and I just carry her correctly and talk to her. But whenever I put her in her cage she immediately runs away from me and hides. Sometimes when she see me or my partner, she hides. She doesn’t eat from my hand also, she doesn’t eat the veggies I offer her using my hand.
What exactly should I do to correct my ways? I just read online that if I mishandled my guinea I should avoid contact for days.
