New Born Pup
Hi my name is Jemma and my bf and I have 3 children aged 5, 7 and 9. The children have wanted Guinea pigs for a long long time but we waited until we thought they were old enough to help us with them. Anyway long story short we brought 2 beautiful boys from a pet shop, we have had them for a week now and things have been going very well. The children have been very careful to be calm around them and we have left them to settle for a few days. They have been teeth chattering all day to one another and to us. I did put my hand in the cage at the wrong moment earlier and one of them nearly bit me. I'm quite used to Guinea pigs as I had them as pets all the way through my child hood but it has rattled my confidence. I know that they are just testing the "who's boss" situation but have you any advice on how to settle them
